Well, the "back" part means
I have returned...
to post to this forum in the hopes of stimulating interesting debate and exchange of useful (and correct)information about Audis and cars that Audi enthusiasts, of whom I am one, might be interested in.
And "loaded for bear" is a quaint saying, possibly Western in origin, meaning that I am prepared to take on all comers in any debate of interest relevant to Audi enthusiasts, fully expecting to easily dispose of any such opposition as I come to this forum fully equipped and heavily armed for any match of wits. Whether there are any bears out there worth shooting at remains to be seen.
I have not hunted for bear (I don't know much about firearms actually, except what hunting and shooting types tell me) but I know several people who have, some actually who were unexpectedly hunted by the bear but as they were loaded for bear, the bear lost.
You require significant armament to successfully hunt bear, particularly the Grizzly. Big ammunition and preferably high muzzle velocity. Longish range is also useful. If you carry any sort of hand gun to defend yourself from a grizzly, better make it a magnum. For long barrel firearms a deer rifle is possibly adequate if loaded for Elk or Moose.
All this by way of jocular response to the numerous attempts by many on this board in the past to ridicule me and my ideas, and so on.
"Turbonator", the guy who everyone wants to revile and prove to be a dimwit, so far without effect or success.
