From the annals of stupid: Yang Yang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him. I didn’t expect he would attack,
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yang Yang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him. I didn’t expect he would attack,
My favorite part is there were two other panda biting incidents in the last year involving people that wanted to cuddle with them.
It's rare that stupidity is so perfectly rewarded.

I SO want Stewart or Colbert to get their hands on this one.

Years ago, I saw a documentary about the first pandas in America. The image is seared onto my brain of their first American keeper sitting at a picnic table in a short sleeve shirt that did not cover his metal arm and hook. A replacement for the arm one of the pandas had ripped off and eaten. He sighed heavily and said in a world weary voice, "Yeah, they're cute."
Dude. Bummer.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Dayum. I mean, they're herbivores. You (or, at least I) don't think of them being quite that vicious.

I know! It was shocking, but only because we are so attracted to cute. A bear is a bear is a bear. Lot's of teeth and claws and not much smart, ya know?

Even wee little Devi looks all cute and cuddly, yet woe if you ignore her teeth and claws.
I've cleaned and run a million errands. Printed out cat care sheets, found spare key set and washed out all the cats' dishes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
they're herbivores.
Not exactly. They primarily chow down on bamboo but they have been known to eat small animals in the wild.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Well, they are so cute because they are so roly-poly. They seem they can barely sit down on their butt without rolling over. Do you know what happens to cute things in the wild? They get eaten. So the pandas have to be vicious herbivores otherwise everyone else will put them on the dinner menu.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
how the hell is it 7:30? I have a baby shower tomorrow and the sweater I am giving is not complete (it will be tonight, I am close), BUT I also have my brother coming over tomorrow and my parents come on Tuesday. The house? a pit. I should at least empty trash and vacuum tonight. I am thinking little to no chance mac wants to help.
