    It helps to have the right retirement planner. While these animals are worried about extinction, I'm set to retire in the Dubai Zoo! Life is SWEET!

    Message to humans: "Ya know, life doesn't have to be so complicated. Just look out for each other and care for each other". Would you like to share a piece of my bamboo?"

    Two weeks in a row of stock market gains. Now that Tim Geithner is on a roll, maybe I can afford to relax just a little and enjoy my bamboo.

    So who cares that Anderson Cooper doesn't like vegetables? It just leaves that much more for the rest of us.

    Nikkie's up again, now maybe I can get something tastier than this steady diet of bamboo like some berries. Then maybe I could get a lap dance from that hot chick next door. Hey baby, how you doin'?

    March 24, 2009 at 5:08 pm |
  29. Andrea

    This panda has the right idea. Just chew the bamboo as if it were US dollars and you too can be rich, shameless, and under indictment.

    Crap..we've all been bamboozled by the government and look where it got us...feeling like we're in a zoo and being panda-red to!

    This panda is the next host for the Food Network and will

    You know, some ranch dressing would really jazz this up.

    As polar bears have become an iconic symbol of global warming victims, the bamboo smoking panda has become a symbol of its cause.

    The price of bamboo has sky-rocketed as Pandas have tighten their grip on zoo cartels.

    This bamboo really gives me the muchies, sure could use some chips.

    The change in Geithner was not immediately apparent but, soon, could not be ignored. President Obama's plea to the National Zoo was answered, and "Little Tim" as he is now known, will live out his life in peace.

    I could run the banks better than those clowns. Just look at me, all the food I need, shelter, luxury home and I don't pay a dime, plus I bring in money for this joint and all I have to do is sit around all day being cute.

    BAM- BOOOO, I wish Obama would spread some of his Wednesday Night dinner party wealth this way. $100/.lb steaks sound good.
