I know you were all waiting to hear what PPJ’s cunning plan was, but we just had to deal with this SHOCKING Nooz story!!! We are a Nooz show, after all!
And yes, someone DID have the bad taste to dress up as a panda and then commit a crime!

Bob T there should be a law against impersonating pandas Panda
Never underestimate the diplomatic value of hot cocoa (with liddle marshymallows) and cookies!
I’m guessing everyone involved (except for the First Lady) will be grounded.
A reminder that my pontificating can be found over on my new Substack NoozLetter. Feel free to subscribe as a free or paid subscriber. Both are welcome! Also, I am making progress on my new book! Hopefully by next week I’ll be ready to do a cover reveal and have a little more accurate estimate of when it will be available.
Till then…

Bob T I’m tired of winter Panda
I don’t know. You tell me.
Say what?

Bob T just one more selfie Panda
Was “Selfie Bear” on her way to Washington DC? I guess we’ll find out, won’t we?
Hi hi hi hi!
Be the Bear!
Bob TI JUST FOUND OUT THERE IS A BEAR CAM Panda
The Woodland Park Zoo Bear Cam shall henceforth be known as the Pookie Cam (at least, that is how it is labeled in my bookmarks.)
What reasonably attractive bear WOULDN’T want to take …um…400 selfies?
Could it be Josie? Could she be heading towards DC?
Be the Bear!
Bob T did I get my good side Panda
I just can’t quit this cat…or Nixon’s Ghost
I also have a new thing I wrote over on Substack! Go read it for a laugh and to feel morally superior to my pathetic housekeeping abilities.

Bob T I told you I don’t have any classified documents Panda
It is futile to resist the pookiness of the Pookies. Don’t even try!
It is a sad fact, that when bears come into contact with people, the bear is often the loser. When I visited the Calgary Zoo a few years ago (in the “before times”) their resident grizzly bear was a many times offender. They had his rap sheet posted outside his enclosure. He was one of the lucky ones. Instead of being killed for his many incursions on cars and garbage cans, there was a place for him at the Calgary Zoo, where he has lived a long and peaceful life.
Pookie Two’s mom, from Montana, was not so lucky. She had become habituated to grazing in garbage cans, and while we could only hope that she might eat a certain congresswoman from Colorado, she won’t get the chance. But don’t tell Pookie Two. She thinks her mom moved to a farm upstate. Do you want to be the one to tell her?
I didn’t think so.

Bob T I hardly ever eat out of trashcans Panda
I know I tend to re-use names. For the first couple years of my descent in to Pandaholism, all my panda stuffies were named “Bob”. We will try to differentiate between the Seattle Pookies, and Bikkie’s friend from Alaska, Pookie.
I’m sure we’ll manage!
And while I really hate leaving the island to go into civilization, I am determined to shepherd the Pookies at The Woodland Park Zoo through their cubbyhood! I know I should not bring this up, but we could be looking at a temporarily (we hope it’s just temporary) panda-less existence here in the US. Memphis’s pandas leave near the end of this year, and the Pandalanta Pandas and the DC pandas contracts are running out. There is still no word on whether pandas will return to SanDiego. The pandemic put a definite crimp in the budgets of the zoos and the US is not getting along particularly well with China.
The Pookies just might be able to be the bears…
Panda On!
Bob T a bear by any other name Panda
I don’t know…is it really productive to look at all the ways you failed last year and say you’re going to fix those things, except you’ve been making the same resolutions for…oh, I don’t know…50 years and you haven’t done any of them yet?
Maybe I need to resolve more achievable goals. Like:
Eat more cake
Take more naps
Don’t sweat the small stuff
Embrace your inner Panda
What are you going to do next year? Who’s with me? Join the Cake Party!!!
