Well, obviously I need to get rid of this bear/shark threat, right? I would set right to work finding a room in the house adequate for my attack. I'd affix the mirror to the outside of the door, making sure it goes all of the way to the ground. Then I would set up the bear trap on the other side of the door, and hunker down in the corner of the room with my hunting rifle and box of shells.
Once the bearshark picked up my scent, he'd swim… or, hobble… or something, up to the door. Since land sharks don't exist or make a lick of sense, he would implode upon seeing for himself exactly what he is. The bear would be understandably angry and set out to break down the door, no doubt cutting himself up pretty badly with broken mirror pieces. Once he got through the door, the blood-loss would make him stumble easily into the bear trap, where I can easily shoot him until dead. If I prove to be a terrible shot, I can always climb out the window and let the bad luck he aquired from breaking the mirror finish him off.
After that, I'd find a nice comfy room to setup my computer, chair, and modem. The magical credit card that could be used to make purchases without actually needing to ever be paid off would keep me up with the gaming world. The Gamer Grub would be my sole source of sustanence. I've played Harvest Moon. I know that planting crops and raising animals for food is way too much work. Since Gamer Grub is made entirely for people that don't like leaving their chairs, it'd be perfect for my situation. The Fleshlight? Well, a man has needs.
