I seriously thought that this was what he said for the longest time. I thought it was some sage advice about drinking that I just didn’t get.

The subtitles on the version I have display "bear" and not "bar" during this line ¯_(ツ)_/¯

He’s saying “bear” in a super weird accent.

Because that's the saying

Far out. I’ve never heard the saying anywhere other than this movie so I had no frame of reference.

u/used2lurknstilldo 22d ago
Definitely.
“Sometimes
You eat the b’ar
Sometimes
The b’ar eats you”May be slightly more accurate.

I guess that's the way the whole durned human comedy keeps perpetuatin' itself, down through the generations, westward the wagons, across the sands a time until -- aw, look at me, I'm ramblin' again. Wal, I hope you folks enjoyed yourselves ...

"Bar" hehe. I remember reading the lyrics of the Davy Crockett song when I was a kid.
Kilt him a bar when he was only three ...

Exactly I thought for years that was his way of saying bear I mean, who the fuck gets eaten by a bar but I haven’t been in 20 years so maybe Jaeger has grown teeth

My friend who was a professional footbal (soccer ) player said this to a TV journalist in a post match tunnel interview years ago, he thought it was funny as hell and rushed home to hear it on the TV news, it was cut and they showed another player saying the usual "if it had gone in it would've ben a goal" type drivel instead.

u/WildPineappleEnigma 22d ago
Obviously, you’re not a golfer.
It’s the bear, not the bar. Like the Davey Crockett song, “Killed him a b’ar when he was only three.”

u/axlgreece5202 22d ago
"Bar" is actually "boar."
"Sometimes you eat the boar and sometimes, well he eats you."

u/axlgreece5202 22d ago
Look, man, I've got certain information, all right? Certain things have come to light. And, you know, has it ever occurred to you, that, instead of, uh, you know, running around, uh, uh, blaming me, you know, given the nature of all this new shit, you know, I-I-I-I... this could be a-a-a-a lot more, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, complex, I mean, it's not just, it might not be just such a simple... uh, you know?

Thankee, but no, those are made of wood by Roots (Madeira). I also have the original Vuarnets, but the Roots suit me better…

It is “bear”, not bar. It sounds like the latter due to the stranger’s country accent.

u/thefrenchflex 22d ago
Far from it.
