Admit it - the first image that popped into your mind was some kid on a skateboard getting attacked by Courtney Cox, LOL.

BTW, "Cougar Town" is my favorite show right now. It's HILARIOUS - even funnier than the last line of the story below!

(CNN) -- A skateboard may have saved a man from being the lunch of a hungry cougar in a Canadian resort town last week.

The big cat jumped the man from behind while he was walking with a skateboard along a dirt path through woods in Banff, Alberta, on Thursday, according to Bill Hunt, a Parks Canada field unit manager.

"He hit the animal with the skateboard and stunned him," Hunt said.

The man, who is in his mid-20s, was listening to music through earbuds. His jacket hood was pulled over his head, Hunt said, possibly making him look inviting to a cat that is stimulated by motion.

It was unclear why the man, who asked to remain anonymous, was carrying a skateboard on a wooded path while it was sleeting, Hunt said.

The Banff town site gets visits from all kinds of wild life. Once I was sitting having lunch at a picnic table in a little park near the local post office in Banff and there was a herd of elk. At the time it was rutting season.

As far as I know the tracker and his dogs is still trying to find that cougar.

Did you know that all the episodes of "Cougar Town" except for two are named after Tom Petty songs?

Neither did I until a few minutes ago.

Sorry I've never seen the show.

Agreed! It's one of my favorite shows.

Hands up if you thought about 24, season2, first.

I've watched all the "24"s but I don't remember what you're talking about.

They didn't say if it ran off after being stunned, but it must've ran away. But good for him. At least he's still alive.

Kim wanders in the wilderness, far from any human contact, and starts to grow tired, when she hears a noise. She looks up, sees a cougar in the distance, and starts to run. As she attempts to flee, she gets caught in a chain trap when the cougar appears to notice her from above.
