The Cruelty of Technology

Leave a reply

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?

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.

As you know, Bob is off to do some air travel this week, and we thought we would do some PandAir themed recaps of earlier cartoons.  This is one of Bob’s favorites.

And don’t forget,

Be the Bear!!!!!!

Pandas hit the top 100!!!!!!!!

Well, I don’t know about you, but there is a certain excitement that comes with higher recognition.  While pandas are the rock stars of any zoo (sorry tigers…you’re just big stripe-y cats, and you know where cats stand in relation to pandas) we are shy and retiring and not entirely sure of our acceptance in society.  People have such an attitude about bears!

We at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire would like to thank all our faithful readers, even the ones who found us accidentally when they were looking for hair replacement therapies, not BEAR replacement therapies.

We hope to find where we stashed our story about PandAir so that we can bring it to you soon!

till then,

Be the Bear!!!!!!

What’s in a Name?

Leave a reply

What is in a name?  Would a panda by any other name be as cute?  The Atlanta Zoo has chosen to name their newest little panda after a hollywood cartoon character.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen Kung Fu Panda at least 3 times,  as we get a serious kick out of watching a CAT get his butt kicked by  a PANDA, but as this is the second panda this year to be named “Po,” isn’t that enough?  What will happen to this panda when he gets repatriated to the panda ranch in China?  Do you know how much fun the other pandas are going to make of him?  Did you ever think of THAT?????  I mean, they could have named him something more dignified like, for instance, “Bob.”

Be the Bear!
