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

Leave a reply

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!!!!!!

Pandas Are in the news these days, between The National pandas getting their contract renewed, (not to mention Mei Xiang being “in the mood, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, nudge, know what I mean?), videos of twin pandas in spain, and a video I just saw, courtesy of “Panda News” of a panda cub climbing over his mother’s head, falling off the other side, and then climbing back over  again…wheeeeeeee!  Well, is there no end to panda fun?  I think not!

When Cake is Outlawed, Only Pandas will Have Cake

Leave a reply

A recent youtube video shows one of the San Diego Pandas having cake! I would post it here, but I don’t know how to do that sort of thing. People don’t realize how hard it is to type with big furry paws.  Anyway, I think it is listed as “Panda Birthday Cake” and shows one small panda’s dedication to the concept of “Cake!”

Lun Lun Does it Again!

Pandas everywhere are rejoicing!  A new baby panda was born at the Atlanta Georgia Zoo!  Thanks to the dedicated and diligent panda-philes at Panda News, we are alerted to a new  US Panda! (China has taken note and the increased rental bill is in the mail!)  What is of great excitement to all of us at Way Better Than Working, is that this panda is a SCORPIO, which is very unusual for pandas, most pandas being of the Leo or Virgo persuasion.   We at WBTW are in the midst of OUR birthday season, so of course we are extra excited!  What a great occasion for Cake!

What a Piece of Work is Panda!

Panda News has just informed us that Lun Lun at the Atlanta Zoo is preggers!  We anxiously await the pitter patter of panda paws in the Atlanta nursery!  While we wait for the riveting story of bear “Entrapment by Donuts” in Washington State, enjoy another installment from the Olympic archives!

Great Moments in Panda History!

We at Way Better Than Working Inc. have been avidly reading The Way of the Panda, and so have been inspired to make our own, unique (some would say irreverent and sophomoric) comment on PANDAS IN HISTORY.   I know, I know, the use of all cap. bold font is incredibly melodramatic and pretentious, but hey, that’s the way we do things around WBTW.  Ruth Harkness and Su-lin were real people (and pandas) from panda history.  I first read of her in Vicki Croke’s MOST excellent book, The Lady and the Panda. We plan to do lots of reading about pandas, thanks to Henry Nicholls thorough reading list in T W of the P. Oh dear, we are sort of getting serious and academic here and that is certainly NOT how we usually do things around here.  Have no fear! we will take Vicki and Henry’s fascinating research and turn it to our own nefarious and satirical purposes.
