Is there really anything else we can add to this? Maybe a comment about hormonal pandas? Maybe not!

Today! We reach new lows in bad taste! (or is it highs in bad taste?)
Naughty bear or cuddly menace? You be the judge! Tune in next time for Bai Yun: naughty panda?
Sometimes I think the internet just exists to inform me of things that would be in incredibly bad taste to make fun of. But then, I just can’t resist!

Announcing the World’s FIRST PandaRama!
The pandarama
As if I don’t have enough to do, today I invented the world’s first Pandarama! Why? I say, why not? After all, what could be better than multiple layers of pandas in the round, as it were? This impressive bit of cutting and pasting was actually inspired by a real art historical phenomenon. I am of course speaking of Mesdag’s Panorama, which still exists in the Hague in Holland. Mesdag was a late 19th century painter with enough family money to have a lovely little mansion in the Hague which is now a jewel box of a museum. He got this idea to make a giant painting in the round, of the seashore, and got a bunch of his artist pals to join him in painting this big circular painting in a building where it still resides today. On walking up the stairs, you find yourself in a large circular room, and you are at the beach! There is sand and everything.
I don’t know that I will make a pandarama that you can walk into, but I will make more. It’s just way too fun.

Here come the Torch Bears!!!!!
Did the Torch Bears take a wrong turn????
Working on the assumption that it is never too early to be premature, the Torch Bears are starting their Olympic journey now! Unfortunately it seems they got their instructions crossways, and were under the impression that the crowds gathered at Westminster Cathedral were there to see them off on their journey rather than to attend the Royal Wedding. Oops! Well, gosh… who doesn’t love pandas???

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!

Vote for Bob!
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.

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.
