The day got away from me, so let’s just cut to the chase, as it were, with the next episode of Pandarella!
Hmmm…the King and Queen remind me of someone(s)…
Be the Bear!
Bob T better late than no ‘toon at all Panda
Pinky has…um…drafted Bubba and Ping to help with her cubpaign. I guess they weren’t as fast as everyone else in their attempted escape.
Darn that ear fluff!
Be the Bear
Bob T don’t make Pinky mad Panda
Just what you need to take your mind off the Mittens trial. I mean TRIALS, plural.
You should know things are going to get worse before they get better….
Be the Bear,
Bob T I’m not on trial Panda
Just a reminder, “these things” happen in fairy tales. Don’t @ me, okay?
We apologize to Mommee Mei for having such an abbreviated appearance in our fairy tale. Maybe she will be back with another part.
Be the Bear
Bob T, you call THAT Grimm! Panda
Let’s see if I I do a better job of figuring out what this story is supposed to be!
It is a sad truth, among we who figure out stories by the seat of our pants, that sometimes what seems like a good idea at the beginning, sometimes collapses in a heap of “well who cares what happens next?” This happened in the last story I attempted. You never know, so you head off with great anticipation, only to lose all your excitement a few episodes in.
Hopefully, this will not be the case here.
Truth is, there are already so many interpretations of various fairy tales, that there are almost infinite parody possibilities, as opposed to a story that was already perfect as it is, with The Phantom Toll Booth. Other than my idea of casting Six and Sebben as the Princesses of Rhyme and Reason (I know, right???) and having Bikkie, Pookie and Frank drive off in a little car, I really didn’t know where to take it.
So here, I offer yet another take, on the tale of Cinderella!
Josie has graciously agreed to be our omniscient narrator! (Josie: I did not!) And yes, there are some excellent parts for Six and Sebben, and PPJ!
Be the Bear!
BobT your fairy god-panda Panda
Pinky may be running for president, but we all know that Mommee Mei makes the rules!
As goes Mommee Mei, so goes the Panda House!
Be the Bear!
Bob T we don’t need no stinking badges Panda
Maybe I couldn’t get my heart into Bikkie and Mister Poppee’s latest adventure story, or maybe the potential implosion of democracy has me too nervous to concentrate, but, at least for the time being, I have brought Pookie, Bikkie, and Mister Poppee home to face to Mommee music.
Needless to say, it did not go particularly well.
Of course they are all grounded.
Pinky: even me? I didn’t have anyfing to do wif dis!
Mei Xiang: especially you!
Meanwhile out in the real world, Bal’mer Bridges falling down, TFG mouthing off to the (various) judges and prosecutors, Ronna McRomney finding a job then losing it again, (and rightly so: How can a nooz organization hire a KNOWN prevaricator, who will say whatever whoever is paying her to say it?) , and we are trying to keep one step ahead of the blackberries here at the headquarters for The Panda Chronicles!
I hope your week is off to a better start than Mitten’s is!
Be the Bear
Bob T am I grounded too? Panda
Panda watchers around the US woke up to the NooZ that negotiations have been underway, agreements are being signed, permits are being applied for to BRING MORE PANDAS TO PANDIEGO!!!!! Before the end of this year!
We west coast folks have been having a real sad since early in 2019 when Bai Yun and the Very Wu Self left for China. Papa Gao Gao had left earlier in 2018. We were hoping that more pandas would be coming, but You Know Who had been messing things up with China since his reign of terror began and then the Covid pandemic arrived and we despaired of ever getting pandas on the west coast again.
To put an extra helping of frosting on the cupcake, part of the negotiations is to get one of Bai Yun’s descendants as the female half of the new panda pair. Bai Yun has a LOT of descendants. I need someone with better record keeping abilities than I have to inform me on just how many grand babies and great grand babies Bai Yun has, but there are a lot of them. Next to Pan Pan, Bai Yun could be one of the most consequential pandas to have participated in taking pandas off the extremely endangered list. If you have info to share with the panda fans here, feel free to chime in in the comments.
I’m sure the new pandas at Pandiego will be way more better behaved than Pinky and Six and Sebben. Probably.
Be the bear,
Bob T pandas return to San Diego Panda
Wouldn’t ya know…Six had a bad idea and Sebben knew a guy who knows a guy! What will those little pandas think of next? Um….better not to ask.
As usual, politics is making my head hurt. It should be more clear than ever that Mittens must not return to power. I just got my voter’s guide for the March primaries and I will be voting for Handsome Joe. He’s not perfect. Nobody is. But I can’t think of another person running who could even possibly get us out of the mess we are in. A world where I would willingly read a book written by Liz Cheney is a weird world, indeed.
Now WHY is it that Pinky shouldn’t be allowed to have missiles?
Be the Bear
Bob T I know a guy too Panda
Just so we are clear here, I have never watched Game of Thrones, but if there was a version with pandas in it, Six and Sebben would be the star evil villains in it.
Things are starting to heat up in TFG’s trial schedule. Be prepared for dirty tricks, attempts to delay, obstruct, and spew crazy things on his Toxic Social network. Meanwhile, Smiling Joe will continue to keep doing his job, and doing it well. Try to tune out the naysayers. They are just trying to depress you, so you’ll stay home, even if you would never vote for TFG.
And…um…pay no attention to those drones flying around the Panda House. I’m sure it’s all…um…fine.
Be the Bear
Bob T wake me when it’s over Panda
