Fortunately, one of us was really drunk and the bear didn't pay much attention, but didn't seem to be afraid either. I was trying to get some sleep in my tent and so missed the whole affair, but I did get some nice teeth punctures through the bug spray that I failed to lock in the car.
Yosemite bears seem to be quite socialized already, but this encounter was in a more isolated region of Sonoma county. The ranger said that they later tranquilized and moved the problem bear.
So there you have it: You can fake being dead or fake being drunk and you may get away with it.
Everyone else appears to just make lots of noise -- at Yosemite -- and AFAIK it probably works, but does make for a noisy camping trip.
