Well, the torch bears are at it again. Will they reach the Olympic Games in London in time? And what does dinosaur flatulence have to do with pandas? Tune in and see…..
Never underestimate the power of a good “fart joke”
Frommage, indeed!

I have to admit, I had thought that Maurice Sendak was gone years ago. Maybe because his books were among my favorites as a young cubbie. His quirky and dark sense of humor continues to be an inspiration to me with my own work. Imagine my surprise to find that he was still alive, at least until this past Tuesday. I have to admit, that the idea of honoring him with a wild rumpus was not my original idea. On Tuesday night there was a meeting of the SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) in Seattle. So, thanks for the idea. I do believe I was the first to have the panda kindergarten rumpus in his honor.
Nobody can rumpus like the panda kindergarten!

Well, with Mini-Bob off gallivanting around London, the panda kindergarten is up to their old tricks. People always want to know (OK, I IMAGINE that people want to know this) just what goes on in the typical panda kindergarten classroom. Who teaches the panda kindergarten? Are there naps and snacks? Are there cuppycakes? There really should be cuppycakes.
"Class....Claaaas....CLASS!!!!!!!!!
HAVE A BEAR-Y GOOD WEEKEND!

Doesn’t the thought of roly poly pandas on a date just tickle your fancy? But what does say, a panda at the Edinburgh Zoo have to do so that he will be desirable to his lady love? According to one of the zoo panda specialists, he needs to be put on an exercise program. I am NOT making this up. I heard it on the BBC. I think it maybe went something like this:
A panda by any other name, would smell...well, they would just smell...
More from the Scottish pandas later this week!

In honor of the announcement of impending pandamonium in Canada (our neighbor to the North), I thought I would pay a little homage to one of my favorite Canadian musicians.
Meet the Pandals!
And Babette is no sooner back from her trip to China (from which I have just seen some pictures) than she must get ready to go to PandaPalooza! at the San Diego Zoo this weekend. It is so hard being an international spokespanda!
Coming soon, more panda product endorsements, tails from Scotland, and product warning labels: There is no holding back!

Before we get to our feature presentation today, I’d like to give myself and all the pandas (AND MEHITABEL, didn’t you mean to say?) a quick pat on the head because we are less than 300 visits away from reaching 20,000 visits to The Panda Chronicles. I don’t know what this means in the real world, except that maybe you, dear reader, are coming back again and again and telling your friends, or mentioning it on your blogs. So whatever your doing, thanks. Be the Bear!
Run,kitty, run!
A big thanks and a Roll of Honor entry to Linda M. for her suggestion relating to cats and toilet paper! You da bear!

We could hardly keep Babette‘s feet on the ground, once she realized that, not ONLY has she been nominated for best panda in a short feature film, (Your Brain on Pandas: The Movie) but that she would lead the Panda Krew in the All Panda Fat Tuesday celebration in New Orleans! We apologize that our footage of the festivities was unavailable yesterday, but it seems that we had some technical difficulties which prevented us from showing the film yesterday. Without any further delay, Here is:
All Panda Fat Tuesday!
Till next time, Be the Bear!

Cuppycakes are in the news once again! This time, it’s not cuppycake confiscation, but the demise of an American institution…yes, those little packaged snack cakes that are alleged to have a shelf life of a million years, are on their way out!. I suppose that it is no mystery why the maker of Twinkies and Wonderbread has filed for bankruptcy. I can’t remember the last time I ate one. But still….

Yes, panda fans, it’s time for the Scottish Play…er…cartoon I mean. Here at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire we never miss the opportunity to make fun of current events in the panda world. Well, actually, we’ll make fun of anything, whether it’s about pandas or not. The return of pandas to Great Britain for the first time in almost 40 years is an event to be celebrated! ( My panda historian friends will correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that Chi Chi, who lived at the London Zoo from 1958 until her death in 1972, was the last panda who lived in Great Britain.
