by Meg on January 10, 2007

Um, MIRRORED Pandas!?

Especially imagery that involves Rule #7?!

Please, it’s too early in the morning for this.

why can’t pandas be domestic animals? I really don’t that is too much to ask. Who doesn’t want one of these crawling up on the couch to watch grey’s anatomy with them?

2 coaddict 01.10.07 at 4:23 pm

awwwww! *happy sigh*

3 Rosie 01.10.07 at 4:29 pm

jenn, you’re absolutely right!!it’s like a super-sized stuffed animal that can keep you warm!!! kitties are much too small for that job.and they’re sooo friendly!! =)

4 Nita 01.10.07 at 4:29 pm

too cute…

5 Rosie 01.10.07 at 4:32 pm

AND, whoever took this pic doesn’t believe in pr0n!! see? using a computer, they must’ve put in a realistic looking plant just to cover miss panda’s butt!!!!!

6 Theo 01.10.07 at 4:54 pm

You’re right, Rosie… no p4nda pr0n on Teh Qte™.

(I wonder what the NSA eavesdroppers will make of THAT little datum. Heh.)

i bet pandas are vicious in real life.

“i’m in ur garden stealin’ ur bamboo”

9 Valeria 01.10.07 at 5:02 pm

They’re too prosh to even acknowledge the camera.

10 layla42 01.10.07 at 5:08 pm

Ee! Panda butt!

I spend so much time at the National Zoo’s site watching Tai Shan and his Momma Mei…ever since he was a teeny little guy. Now he’s gotten so big!

11 zeldapie 01.10.07 at 5:12 pm

Sigh. SO anerable, it makes my eyes water!

12 marsheeeee 01.10.07 at 5:14 pm

I do too, Layla42. However, now there’s a baby girl panda cam at the Atlanta zoo: http://www.zooatlanta.org/animals_panda_cam.php4 .
She’s only a few months old, just got her name Mei Lan (which means Atlanta Beauty) and she’s just now starting to walk. Maybe we can work up a betrothal between Tai and Mei?

13 Tony James 01.10.07 at 5:14 pm

Pandas in the mornin’, pandas in the evenin’, pandas at suppertime…
The NY-based UK Qte Contingent is going to Washington DC this weekend, ostensibly to visit Your Nation’s Capital but in reality to go visit with DA BABY PANDA! Paws UP!

Advanced warning: there may be pictures…

14 Theo 01.10.07 at 5:22 pm

Pyrit — I can read that. Which is a little depressing.
Maybe some governmental black box will come and “hire” me.

So I’m off to http://www.pandafix.com/ now for attitude adjustment…

15 Theo 01.10.07 at 5:27 pm

…OMG. PandaFix ROCKS.

Jenn your right, think about the health benefits, and it’s the perfect way to control invasive bamboo plants.
TonyJames We expect pics, I’m sure mention its for the world famous CO and you will have a private photo shoot

17 Denita TwoDragons 01.10.07 at 5:45 pm

Hee! They look like those little Russian dolls that sit inside each other…*LOL* ^__^

18 Pheas 01.10.07 at 5:57 pm

A full-sized panda might break the sofa. But a pygmy panda would hit the spot. Extra chub and fluff on mine, please.

19 Aubrey 01.10.07 at 6:00 pm

TJ, go ahead. Take your ‘pictures’. Am I afraid? Does mere pandamonium frighten me? Do I worry about pandamics? Of course not.

Am I a fan of Tin Panda Alley? Of course.

So do your worst.

20 pyrit 01.10.07 at 6:03 pm

D2D – The spelling varies. Matreshka doll. I have a few. A panda matreshka doll is a great idea. So I Googled it and there they are on eBay. Of course.

21 Subhangi 01.10.07 at 6:13 pm

Ahhh Pandas. Just what I need.

*snuggles upto imaginary panda and goes to sleep*

22 DPOI 01.10.07 at 6:16 pm
23 Theo 01.10.07 at 6:21 pm

Thanks DPOI — also from the Nat’l Zoo site, TAI SHAN PANDA CAM! (scroll down)

24 Abbie 01.10.07 at 6:50 pm

I love this!! It made my day!!

25 garyfixler 01.10.07 at 6:51 pm

Thanks for reminding me of my dream last night, wherein an enormous panda, bigger than my car, was laying facing away from me like a polar bear on its belly, legs tucked under it, and blocking the road, and I had to squeeze between him and another car, scraping against his fur, and hoping he wouldn’t get mad, and pummel my car as I did so!

26 Rosie 01.10.07 at 10:20 pm

gary, you’ve been on the Qte too long…it’s getting thru yur head and into yur dreams…..

27 Aubrey 01.10.07 at 11:11 pm

Looks like panda-mom just missed a serious accident when she sat down.

28 Suda Nim 01.10.07 at 11:47 pm

Pandas, pandas, pandas, pandas everywhere,
There’s pandas on the table and there’s pandas on the stairs.
Pandas on the sofa and there’s pandas on the floor,
And there’s some new ones coming through the door…MORE?

29 Theo 01.10.07 at 11:54 pm

Pandas, pandas everywhere, and message boards did shrink…

(*no* apologies to Coleridge)

30 Aubrey 01.11.07 at 12:19 am

Day after day, day after day,
We wait, for cutness’ potion;
We wait, as our work ethics slip
We clamor, raise a din – THEN:

Pandas, pandas, everywhere!
For CO hoardes to drink
Pandas, pandas everywhere,
From cuteness’ thirst we drink.

…Albatross?

31 Theo 01.11.07 at 12:22 am

…albatross!

32 Peg of Tilling 01.11.07 at 12:56 am

What flavor is it?

33 Aubrey 01.11.07 at 12:58 am

Hey. Peg.

It’s a bloody seabird.

34 Peg of Tilling 01.11.07 at 1:00 am

But what’s on the telly?

35 Theo 01.11.07 at 1:04 am

My! BRAIN! Hurts!

36 lurkertype 01.11.07 at 1:33 am

It’ll have to come out then.

37 Aubrey 01.11.07 at 1:45 am

Theo?

Is your name not Bruce?

38 Suda Nim 01.11.07 at 1:59 am

Good evening, and it’s time for the panda on top of your television to explode.

39 pyrit 01.11.07 at 2:10 am

I can’t think of a rime for albatross but maybe Kubla can.

40 Layla42 01.11.07 at 2:10 am

**BOOM**

How’d he know it was going to do that?

41 pyrit 01.11.07 at 2:32 am

“And now…”

42 Laurie C 01.11.07 at 2:37 am

…for something completely different.

43 Theo 01.11.07 at 2:44 am

IT’S

(“The Liberty Bell” by John Philip Sousa plays…)

45 Aubrey 01.11.07 at 3:28 am

“And now…”

No. 1…The Larch…

46 Theo 01.11.07 at 3:37 am

…and Spam

47 Laurie C 01.11.07 at 3:48 am

(Ta for the edit, Teho.)

“Number 2…

The Larch.”

48 Suda Nim 01.11.07 at 3:53 am

Layla:
It was an inspired guess.

49 Suda Nim 01.11.07 at 3:54 am

and Pyrit, that was just AWFUL! If I could reach through the screen I would keeeel you.

50 Kriste 01.11.07 at 4:03 am

what about the boxes?? that’s a rule, isn’t it?

51 pyrit 01.11.07 at 4:23 am

Suda Nim – (putting arm on Suda’s shoulder) May I call you Suda? I’ve always liked you. Know that. From the start. We’ve got punthing in common.

52 Theo 01.11.07 at 4:25 am

Is this the University of Wallamalloo?

54 Charlie 01.11.07 at 6:37 am

There’s nothing like a bit of surrealism to end the day. Thanks guys! Now what was I doing?

55 pyrit 01.11.07 at 12:13 pm

(stepping over Theo & Aubrey) Suda Nim, focus here. Well, what I’m saying is, you, me, HelenWheels, now that’s a good one, you see what I’m saying? We’re different. (gazing meaningfully out at the horizon, as if, as if, it’s a brand new day, full of puntential, and, and endless punsibilities.)

56 pistache268 01.11.07 at 4:47 pm

FAT BOTTOM!

57 Aubrey 01.11.07 at 5:49 pm

(stands up suddenly and pun-ches pyrit “playfully”)

58 pyrit 01.11.07 at 9:42 pm

Aubrey, Boxing Day was over 2 weeks ago. Does that ring a bell?

59 Theo 01.11.07 at 9:54 pm

Aubrey isn’t British, Pyrit. That was a low blow.

60 Aubrey 01.11.07 at 10:19 pm

I remember exactly when I realized I’d missed Boxing Day. I had an Epiphany 5 days ago.

61 Maureen 01.11.07 at 11:20 pm

Canadians have Boxing Day, too…

62 Aubrey 01.11.07 at 11:28 pm

Shouldn’t CO have a ‘Tocks-ing Day?

63 miu 01.12.07 at 12:40 am

There are never enough pandas.

64 pyrit 01.12.07 at 3:07 am

“Rocky” Day? But would it be Rocky II, III, IV…?

65 Aubrey 01.12.07 at 3:24 am

Best we leave well enough Stallone.

66 pyrit 01.12.07 at 3:39 am

“Thuffering thuccotash”.

67 Suda Nim 01.12.07 at 4:49 am

Of course you may call me Suda. And have you met my brother, Mr. Fed?

68 Aubrey 01.12.07 at 4:53 am

Happy to meet your brother. Care to introduce your Pop?

69 pyrit 01.12.07 at 12:21 pm

I suda known better.

70 Theo 01.12.07 at 3:44 pm

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

71 Suda Nim 01.12.07 at 10:35 pm

What’s a little scary is that I’ve used this screen name so long (more than a decade), that if someone called to me on the street with it I’d turn and look…..

72 pyrit 01.13.07 at 12:56 pm

Theo – You don’t sound well. Here, have a suda cracker.

Suda Nim – Sing it with me (playing air drums):
“Oh sussudio I just say the word
Oh sussudio I’ll say the word
Sussudio oh oh oh!
Just say the word!”

73 Theo 01.13.07 at 10:32 pm

Pyrit — what I couldn’t mention while I was AAAAAAAGHing, was the Richard #&@%ing Marx song that your earlier comment kicked into my head. Phil Collins is a relative BLESSING (or perhaps just a faded memory).

74 pyrit 01.14.07 at 3:24 am

Theo – THANK YOU for handing me that one! (taking Silver Platter) Thank you. Lessee, there’s the “First” thing and now, Richard Marx…
