There's brown, blue and black... but they're not all over the place or anything. They're rare enough that I get surprised to see one in action.

In Missery, they mostly refer to them as "you got one up at the ____" and simply as a bear. A few times they've referred to them as pr!cks and such. When you hear a negative name on the CB they are referring to one of three people. 1. Ex-wives 2. The president 3. Leo

Brush your teeth and comb your hair-Radar trap ahead .. :confused: wtf

I guess I get it, they're taking pictures.. lol

Thanks guys for helping me (and others new to CB) to understand some of this stuff. I haven't hear many bear reports until recently. I'm not sure if that's because we had a lul in enforcement for a few months, or because I finally got my CB radio working well. Hopefully I'll start hearing enough that it'll start making a little more sense to me.

I did find a few references to Green Stamps in the link that Category4 posted. It looks like that is referring to the bear, and not his location. The term "Green Stamp Collector" refers to a LEO. Had I understood this, I would have had a viable 7 mile warning instead of the RD doing the job. Though the CB is not the tool of last resort, I can see that it's a powerful compliment to the other CMs.

Good on Ya, the CB is the most underrated CM there is IMO. It has a wealth of info and not just concerning Bear Reports, but a bunch more.

I've had a CB for more than two years now and never heard the green stamp thing.

^^ yes indeed and many other colors too.

The green stamp is a reference to a toll road.

Weird one I heard was "cherries and berries" representing the color lights on top of LEO car.

I've been posting this for years... as it is by far one of the most comprehensive (though dated) sets out there... and it never seems to make its way to a its own sticky... go figure.
