If Elected…..

Well the “Pandas for President” movement is heating up fast!  I already have two (count ’em, 2 actual supporters, although one said she would jump ship if someone else was available) I am working on my stumpy speech (that is a speech written by someone with a stumpy tail, I think) and getting platform shoes and making up a bunch of stuff…oops I mean reviewing my accomplishments. So, vote for me and I promise to serve cuppy cakes at the White House to all visitors who voted for me. I also will think about a new paint job as just “white” does not reflect the essential pandaness of being!

Be the Bear!

Vote for Bob!

Bob T. Panda throws his hat into the ring!

Operating under the assumption that if ALL the other idiots are starting to campaign for president for the 2012 election already, than I, Bob T. Panda must announce my candidacy for that office.  I understand it comes with a house and a personal chef and my very own airplane and EVERYTHING!!!! I bet I could have a different kind of cuppycake every day!  Maybe two kinds.  I would have to have a specially designed Pandair plane of course. Do you think I would get paid?

More from the Institute of Contemporary Panda Satire!

I can’t tell you how cool it is to spend my days here in Pandyland! I also have to send out a big pandy thank you to Henry Nicholls, an actual real author, who wrote The Way of the Panda.  He is responsible for coining the phrase, contemporary panda satire, for which one of my dear friends would like to have a word about that, if an ocean didn’t separate him from Henry.  Since I am never one to resist the temptation of taking a phrase and running it into the ground, I took the liberty of appropriating the phrase to create the Institute of Contemporary Panda Satire.  I have also declared myself the directure of said institute, as well as the leading practitioner of contemporary panda satire.  To be honest, I’m not sure that it’s a very crowded field, but I thought it would be good to get in on the ground floor.

Where No Panda Fears to Tread

 

Recent news on panda misconduct reached our enquiring minds last week, when news of Bai Yun’s misconstrued expression of affection gave the mistaken impression that maybe, just maybe, Bai Yun took the tiniest nip of her attendants’s leg.  Really tiny, we swear.  “Lunch was late.”  claims Bai Yun.  “I just don’t know what all the fuss is about!”

Bai Yun will be appearing on the Mehitabel Tonite! show later this month, for a special show called, “Pandas who might be the tiniest bit Naughty”  Check your local listings!

And a big pandy thank you to our newest subscribers! Be the Bear!!!!!!

See ya next time!

Power to the pandas!!!!!

The Cruelty of Technology

While we at Way Better Than Working subscribe to the philosophy, “technology when it suits us,” we think things have gone WAY too far!!!!  The other day we heard a report on NPR (that’s National Panda Radio, in case you’ve forgotten) which talks about the new generation of…gasp… I can hardly say the word…bathroom scales.  We, of course, threw ours out years ago, because it interfered with our devotion to cuppycakes, so imagine our horror when we heard that they had come out with a scale thast could post the results directly to twitter.  Is there no end to the dastardlyness of inventors of new gizmos and gadgets?  What IS a panda to do?

Be the Bear, of course!

Cuppycakes, anyone?

National Panda Radio is coming!!!!!

Now is my chance!  I, Bob T. Panda, will seize control of A Prairie Home Companion, change the name to A PANDA Home Companion and become world famous! And Rich! And have all the cake I want!  It was just announced that Garrison Keillor is retiring in 2 short years…just enough time to stage a panda takeover of public radio, (which shall forthwith be known as national PANDA radio) and rule the world.  I mean, if it’s O.K. with you, that is.
