Are you getting fatter...?

So last Friday I found myself stuck in a meeting all day from 8 to 5. Now this would be bad enough, but combine it with the fact that it is the rainy season - and hence hot, sticky and......

The Great Bike Theft of 2006

[In My Head]:: "Somehow, Scotland Yard, I'm not holding out much hope you're gonna find my bike next week, let alone in 4 or 5 years given that your investigative technique to date seems to consist of drawing a map in crayon on a crumpled piece of paper and measuring the distance to random buildings. Not exactly C.S.I. up in this motherfucker, is it?" [Out Loud]::"...ummm, if you find my bike in 6 years, you can just keep it as I'll probably have bought a new one by th...

Jumbo the giant panda

And while it's not the most inappropriate comment I've ever been subjected to in Japan (that dubious honor going to the intrepid junior high school boy who caught me off guard once with "hey panda-sensei, how big is your cock?" in perfect English (my snarky-yet-simultaneously-pathetic (insofar as I'm comparing penis size with a 12 year old) reply: "bigger than yours will ever be", greeted with tremendous "oohs" and what I can only assume is the Japanese middle school equivalent of "snap!!!" a...

Mochi made with sweat (and other stuff)

And wouldn't you know it? As soon as I remembered this one simple tidbit from my childhood, everything suddenly fell into place. I had the answer. What would a ninja do indeed? He would get revenge. ...

Let them eat cake (and die...)

I wish for a second that pandas could actually breath fire, or at the very least, spit acid like an Alien. "What does he want me to do, DG?" I ask, voice emerging in ragged constricted packets. "Well, he said he wants you to bring him an apology gift. Specifically he said he wants you to give him a cake or something. So I think perhaps you should go to his house and bring him a cake."

Bumper Cars

Atarashi Shakai no Rekishi

Things have been quiet here for a while on the pandablog, and it's not just because of the mangled right paw. Besides fending off the ever encroaching student hoardes (it's that time of year where the new students start flooding......

Depressingly down

*sigh* well, if any of you are still reading, sorry, and I guess it's time to explain all the woe that has recently befallen the house of panda. The pictures, by the way, are from my recent trip to Tokyo......
