Gawsh. Well, the last blog-related thing I did was move back to Worldnomads, which was last week. Since then I've dumped all my old bloggathons, and it's turned out whack coz I don't know why.
Anyhow. You're probably wondering about the title of this blog, right? Well, click on this and prepare for annoyance! Er, unless you work at the WDC in which case coz those useless dumb terminals they give you don't have sound or flash, so don't bother.
Well, dang near two weeks ago (!!!) 林月欣 and I went to check out some 大熊猫 at the 大熊猫 centre in norther - ah woops. Okay if you don't have Chinese fonts set up, all you gonna see is a bunch of weird boxes and shtuff. If you do have Chinese fonts installed, then you will still be screwed coz unless your 普通话 是 很好, 你不看这是写的. Anyhow, back to the 大熊猫.
Whee! Okay what the hell is that thing? Yes this was an actual photo taken by me and not from like National Geographic or Wikiopedia. You can tell I took the photo coz I waited for the panda to do something embarrassing, which is how I take all of my photographs, and not just with pandas either. So to prove it even further:
As you can see, that is me to the right. You can tell it's me from the size of my forehead, which grows larger with every passing day. In the background is a 大熊猫, yes a real live panda bear. And yes, it is eating bamboo. Somehow these dudes made bamboo seem so goshdarn tasty that I was awful tempted to try some myself. I didn't though, but one day I will.
So you're not too impressed so far, coz it's just one panda? Okay, try two.
How about three?
Geez, STILL not impressed?? Let's keep upping the numbers then, shall we!
Yes that's right, four.
WHAT? You saw four pandas on some nature prog last week> Well then, take THIS.
And THIS!
Waaaait a second, I hear you say. There's only five pluddy pandas in this photo! Where the flang is number six??? Well, look again, buddy. Go up from the centre of the photo and then slightly to the right. You will see an interesting fruit dangling from a tree there, above the playground. A closer look at this so-called "fruit" reveals THIS...
WHAT THE HELL.
This is actually stage two of panda-fruiting, known as "pillowing". As the panda-flower unfurls, it goes into a more mature version known as "chillin", as demonstrated below.
Now, much of a pandas life is spent in the "chillin" phase. It is either doing this:
Or it's doing this:
There is no variation between these forms of panda-fruit. Er, with the exception of the first photo I showed you's all.
Well. Impressed? Good. The next episode of "PandaMUSHROOM" will feature 3-month old panda cubs. You will say "cuuuuuuuute!" so many times during this future episode that you will annoy your co-workers or co-inhabitors. Be prepared.
Pies. Out.
