"This is for everyone who hasn't seen the baby pandas", says axlrosen, whose hip-hop/baseball name is A-Rose. I hadn't seen the baby pandas. They're great!

SICHUAN, China -- One zoo in southwest China has its hands full with 16 baby pandas.

The Sichuan Wolong Panda Protection and Breed Center is dealing with the results of a breeding boom -- 16 pandas have been born since July, 2006. The brood includes five sets of twins. The cubs are weighed and measured every five days.

The heaviest tips the scale at just over 24 pounds, while the lightest weighs about 11 pounds. The pandas are due to stop suckling by February, 2007 just about the time they'll start learning to walk. Once weaned, the panda cubs will attend panda kindergarten. In the meantime, more little ones are expected at the center since 38 giant pandas were artificially impregnated.

I like the one in the third picture that looks like he's fixing a jam in a laser printer on the floor.

What does one do in Panda Kindergarten?
Hoof Hearted • Jan 26, 2007 1:05 pm
...eat, shoots, and leaves...


Looks like they're working in a stuffed toy shop!

I wonder how their parents taste if they're slow-roasted and slathered with BBQ sauce? (there, LR...I didn't talk about eating the babies...)

You can see one live - and growing - in Atlanta.

I like to call that 3rd picture "uuuuuugghh... I'll never drink again...."

Do the pandas have to roll to move? Cause they look very incapable of even holding up their body weight.

What? There are photos of your striking ass? Or your ass being struck? What is the donkey's name? There was one up here named Pasado, and he was struck repeatedly until he died. Only later were there photos, a movie to be precise. I can't remember the name of the movie.

Where've you been? You can't walk through the Cellar without bumping a nut on a picture, a quote, or a statement pertaining to labrat's ass!;)

Is that a bad thing? There'd be breast shots too, but I got shorted in that department. :bandaid: :bandaid:
Shawnee123 • Jan 26, 2007 3:54 pm

Ahem. There *were* breast pictures (although they were more artful than revealing), and the subjects of those photos were quite fine, IMHO. You are the living, beautiful emodiment of the old adage, "More than a mouthful is wasted".

That's Sifl and Olly. The best show ever made. The guys who made it fucked up and sold it to MTV thinking that MTV was going to air it. PSYCHE!!!
It got canned and sat on.

Zippy posted a link to 4 hours of it on youtube. I think it is on the ye olde video clippe threade.

And here I was, thinking that when pandas explode there would be nothing left but assorted lumps of fur-covered minced meat. Evidently they explode into lots of little pandas.

They are what happens if you get a gremlin wet. Just don't feed them after midnight.
