Title: Re: This is awesome
Post by: wombat on February 24, 2009, 05:55:37 pm: I can't root for either... I guess I am rooting for something like a T Rex to come and stomp on both.

Post by: jaydub on February 24, 2009, 07:31:21 pm: A monacled panda beats a fellow in a loincloth anyday. Is this what Frank Frazetta's been up to recently?

Title: Re: This is awesome
Post by: Doc on February 25, 2009, 10:00:57 am: Yeah that panda is fucked. Putting the monacle and boxing gloves on him is like that bit in gladiator where the dude got stabbed before the fight where it wouldn't show so he'd go down easier.
I'm sure there's a boxing analogy that works better but I can't think of it.

Also, the panda has a pocket, apparently contiguous with it's fur.

So that's who this painting reminds me of. Been a while since I've browsed Bird's site and I see he has a bunch of new paintings up. Good stuff.

Title: Re: This is awesome
Post by: wombat on February 25, 2009, 09:23:15 pm: I am totally not rooting for the panda. Don't get me started on pandas.

What about non-giant pandas? Are you cool with them? Or will you fuck a panda up regardless of variety?
Title: Re: This is awesome
Post by: wombat on February 25, 2009, 09:47:58 pm: Red pandas are excellent. Even Wikipedia knows they are not associated with giant pandas:

Quote
Recent molecular-systematic DNA research places the Red Panda into its own independent family Ailuridae. Ailuridae are in turn part of a trichotomy within the broad superfamily Musteloidea (Flynn et al., 2001) that also includes the Mephitidae (skunks) and the Procyonidae (raccoons) + Mustelidae (weasels). Unlike the Giant Panda, it is not a bear (Ursidae).

Post by: jaydub on February 25, 2009, 10:25:30 pm: Well colour me hornswoggled. Here I've been living in the "Giant Pandas are not bears" fool's paradise. Well, I've still got Koala's to fall back on. Ain't no way those guys are getting reclassified as bears anytime soon.

Given your hirstute, adipose nature, and penchant for fabulous moustaches, your statement can be interpreted a number of ways.

Title: Re: This is awesome
Post by: pmcd9 on February 26, 2009, 09:12:24 am: I had to look up adipose. And I thought I had heard every way there is under the sun to be called fat. I must commend you on your originality. Consider yourself can'd.

Post by: jay-ell on February 26, 2009, 03:09:29 pm: I have a good friend, a large man of Polish/German descent with thick black hair and a full beard.

Last time he came to visit, my daughter took one look at him, grinned, and signed, "bear."

He asked what she was signing. I translated. He laughed, and said, "Yeah, it's funny because it's true."

We should all chip in and buy Wombat like a case of this: http://www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?source=rss&utm_campaign=17989utm_source=thisjustin&utm_medium=rss&itemId=17989

Post by: wombat on March 08, 2009, 09:59:51 pm: No wait! You should buy me this!

"In fact what they do is leave their droppings as a form of saying, 'this is my area'.

"So if you remove it, they have to keep putting it back."

Seems like that shouldn't be too much of a problem actually.
Title: Re: This is awesome
Post by: jaydub on March 09, 2009, 10:15:57 pm: I agree. Wombat comes back to no scat, says "Huh, someone's stealing my markings - I'd better chow down HUGE and leave a monster they can't lift!" Instant boost in raw materials for the papers.

For a moment I thought this was the circumcision thread, and I was really confused.
