They Only Love You When You’re Fat

Yeah, that was me: Rollo, “The Pudgy Panda.” I was the star of the zoo — T-shirts, my own website, thousands of kids a day come to see me. Glorious, man.

But I was getting really winded, so I get on this weight loss kick: a little cardio in the morning, watching the diet, you know. And just when I start to feel good, that’s when management wants a meeting. They’re “taking the panda exhibit in a new direction,” that’s all they tell me. All I know is, if it weren’t for my cousin letting me crash at his place, I’d be on the street.

    I love cats. I love pandas. Cats like to snuggle and sniff your face. I’ve heard pandas have no problems mauling the bejeezus out of people. Solution? I need a panda cat!!!

    It looks a little creepy, like some very genetically engineered breed. I hope it’s less scary in real life!

    My first thought? Oh Lordy, that panda-cat done ate the baby, put its’ clothes on & posed for a picture!
    My second thought? Master Shifu! (kinda ;-) )

    “taking the panda exhibit in a new direction”–so totally management speak for “we’re done with you, Bozo, and you’re outa here!”. So, the poor sap gets to sell pencils on the street while management drinks champagne with the new darling of the moment. Reminds me of Ming the merciless and his empress of the hour. Ah, life is not fair and fair is not life, but karma comes home inevitably, so say Confucious.

      Hey Skippymom?

      Do you remember back, when you sent Skippy here to me in Fla on
      an (ironic name of the bus company) “Greyhound” bus??

      I just thought you’d wanna know….he never DID arrive here.
      You might wanna contact Greyhound and have them track the pkg ….
