@ Space Cowgirl – “incoherent wibbling squee?” I don’t know what exactly that means but it sounds great. I’m going to use it in therapy the next time my shrink asks me how I feel. “Well, I’m not sure, but I find myself emitting incoherent wibbling squees. What do you think, doc?”
What a sweety-pie! I love pandas. The only one born in the U.S. this year just made her appearance on Nov. 3rd. Right now she looks like a pink rat but that doesn’t last too long. If you go to Zooborns, you can find a link to the panda cam and see her with her mother, Lun Lun. This is Lun Lun’s third baby and she’s a great momma.
Hey little panda…heavy black eye liner is all the rage now…whether your male OR female. So shake what yo mama gave you and sashay, sashay little fluff ball!
This little sweetie is the new male cub at the Vienna Zoo. They are having a voting contest to name him. Choices are:
Fu Hu (Happy Tiger)
Ao Kang (Healthy Austrian Boy)
Wei Xing (Joy of Vienna)
You can vote here: http://www.zoovienna.at/
His 3 year old brother Fu Long (Happy Dragon) has already returned to his ancestral home of China. Their parents are one of the few panda mating pairs in captivity that actually get alone and mate naturally. Fu Long was also weaned naturally and was separated from his mother only when he left for China, not at 18 months which others zoos do.
Sorry for all the info. Pandas are my passion! (I love dogs too).
I am incensed, INCENSED I tell you, about the pressure on young pandas today to obsess about their weight. Impossibly thin panda models on fashion runways and airbrushed photos in magazines create an unhealthy ideal that pandas feel they must emulate. Stop the madness!
Hi! We are students at Smith College in Massachusetts taking a Research Seminar. We invite you to take a survey assessing gender attitudes and behavior. The survey should take between 30-45 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous. To thank you for your participation, you will be entered into a raffle for a $50 …gift card on Amazon.com http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NVG3CBG
um… OK, I’m as much a fan of Smif as I can be and still be a dude. My sister graduated there, and CO & Questionable Content are a mutual admiration society (although that’s technically more a Hampshire phenomenon, but close enough)… but while I was [-Ed.] I didn’t generally tolerate SurveyMonkey links in our comments. It’s a gray area, yes, and I might’ve allowed it for educational purposes, as long as they weren’t spammed EVERYwhere… but still.
i’m sorry, did someone give you your stick back? i don’t think so. don’t forget, old man, you are not immune to moderation, so step lightly lest ye be–what? ooh, sparkly!
I’m with you on this one, Theo. This has no relevance to the post and so in my book is just taking advantage. (And I get soooooo tired of dumping these from my own blog.) With all due respect to Sharpy, my vote is to ditch it (if I had a vote, which of course I do not, but still…).
Coinkidink: I was just listening to Supermodel on the bus today. Songs like that make me laugh out loud which (a) makes the ride go faster and (b) increases my chances of getting a seat to myself. Sashay, chante!
@hovertext–then don’t eat the camera!
Of course she’ll win! She’s lovely.
I’m sorry — were you just talking to the hovertext, there?
@hovertext: How many cameras are on you right now?
…YOU TOO??
seems to be a trend… does this mean that talking to oneself is out of fashion? (Not that I desperately need to know or anything…..
…. OKAY, I desperately need to know!!!)
Wend – It’s still fashionable in my house. “Isn’t that right Hon Glad it certainly is Hon Glad”
ROLLY POLY PANDA
and isn’t she lovely! PLINK PLINK!!!
Also ZOMG she isn’t even five pounds yet!
So without the camera, she weighs -5 pounds. Which is about the size of your average supermodel.
ha!
Their really stick insects in frocks.
Bums wrong their – they’re
I think this might be kg considering it looks to be European. Which would be around 11 lbs. But nonetheless the little one is certainly cute!
I wish I had enough pandas that I needed a labeled bowl just to weigh all of them…
Love the labeled bowl! Complete with panda-face.
*incoherent wibbling squee*
They should name her Miranda.
@ Space Cowgirl – “incoherent wibbling squee?” I don’t know what exactly that means but it sounds great. I’m going to use it in therapy the next time my shrink asks me how I feel. “Well, I’m not sure, but I find myself emitting incoherent wibbling squees. What do you think, doc?”
“So, then, the medication is working for ya?!”
Or Amanda.
I was thinking about Miranda from ‘Mass Effect 2′ – adorable, wears black and white, devours souls. But I like the sound of “Amanda the Panda” too.
“incoherent wibbling squee” is the name of my Björk cover band
Yes, I’d like to place an order for a panda in a bowl for delivery.
The article says he’s a boy
.
He’s one very beautiful young panda though!
Okay then, Alexanda.
According to the linked article, hes a male panda. Also the weigh in goes by the metric system, so this (little?) guy is about 10lbs.
I was 10Ibs at birth, that’s my excuse now “I’ve always been big”
me too.
And that paper towel is a couple of grams at least.
Squeeeee!!! What a plumpalicious little ball of fluff, she’ll win the crown for sure.
best adjectival phrase, this side of NTMTOM
Hummm so he’s a boy competing for the Miss Baboo crown…
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
It’s an all-inclusive society now, Gigi
What a delightful bukkit o’ fluffiness. Good thing it says “Panda” on the side or else we might confuse him with a turtle!
And there’s even a handy panda diagram, in case you can’t read.
awwww
More amorphous pandy blobs please.
**LIKE**

Thank you for clarification. If you love Fu Long, you can visit http://www.youtube.com and Fu Long and his buddies in Bifengxia – you will enjoy it!
psst, Panda:
Don’t ask Stacey London or Clinton Kelly for clothing advice for the pageant.
They won’t like your horizontal stripes, — BUT WE DO!!
And that’s what I call Panda Express!
if I take a white bowl and write “Panda” on it, will someone come along and oblige? what if I also draw a panda face on it?
I am utterly bamboo-zled by this wittle guy.
“wittle?”
Warning: baby talk makes the moderator emit Lurch-gurgles.
Here I was thinking that my coy use of the word “bamboo” might attract some attention.
Myself, I’m rather fond of the “-zled”!!!!!
Bamboo-zled! Brilliant!
(Don’t worry, you-know-who is just jealous because she didn’t come up with it.)
Nope, she’s genuinely urped about teh widdles. Twoowy. And if you don’t believe me, well, who else ya gonna believe? Hmm??
OH MY DEITY LOOK AT THE TINY EARS.
Yes, the labelled bowl is the best part. “Insert Panda Here.”
Already, she’s dismayed by her weight. *sigh*

Small doses, ‘k?

Theo– did you just give her the “flashy-thingy”?
Can’t talk… sparkly…
OMG THEO FLASHED HIS THINGY?!?!?!

i think i’m pickin’ up what you’re puttin’ down. i’d dump it, but then we are left tilting at windmills.
ooh, “windmills.” i like that. what do you think, Thee-O? a windmill being a harmless comment that creates a lot of kerfluffin’?
“Tilting at windmills” – what a great saying; never heard it before.
Don Quixote……Quixotic
hunh?!

HA. I love the bucket marked “PANDA” with the little face.
Hee hee! Does the special “panda bowl” to prevent cross contamination?
“NEVER weigh your marmosets in your panda bowls! It can spread salmonella!”
Sorry about the black eyes honey, did that Naomi have another hissy fit in the changing rooms?
Maybe…. but you should see her hair!!(what’s left of it)
I’ve checked all my panda bowls and nuthin’. They are all empty. *boo hoo*
In honor of the cute ball of fluff that is baby panda…I’m going outside to do some panda rolls in the grass. Wooooo!
