Professor Steve Steve, how could you?
He will be going into rehab, and promises never to do it again.

I hope no diapers were involved, at least!

Put a new spin on eats, shoots and leaves.

The photo on the right looks photoshopped. I think the Panda's been framed.

I've spent time with PSS. I have to say, of course he did it. He's an evilutionist, after all...

Thing about pandas is they can be crazy drunk and puking, and as you're holding their big head over the toilet, you can't help thinking, "still cute".

I was going to try to come up with something about the panda going to the same Christian Rehab is Pastor Ted... but nothing can top this one:

... and I'd just been given a copy of that book. Maybe I'll wait to read it...

It's always the sanctimonious, holier-than-thou Ursidaes pulling this kind of garbage.

More !@#$% framing?

Of course, this was originally published in that scandal sheet known as the San Francisco Chronicle. Years ago I was in an editorial meeting where the Chron's top people discussed the stories to go into the next edition. One of them was pushing an item about a bear in Yosemite that was suspected of attacking a tourist. Since the bear was not caught in the act, the park ranger was supposedly putting together a panel to determine whether they had the right bear and if it should be euthanized. The editors laughingly discussed the "bear trial" for several minutes before deciding it wasn't going into the paper.
They wouldn't make that mistake today!

He learned most of his bad habits back when he was lumped in with the Procyonids, a notoriously loose-living taxon. Even though he's been restored as a basal Ursid, old habits die hard.

Butterstick?! But he's only 2 years old! This is a case of cub abuse...

Don't think so, maybe more like he's hoping that hard habits die old.

Once he gets out maybe he'll move to Missouri and get his Master degree in Psychology a la Ted Haggard.

Huh! Probably the same tourist who was pushing a bear into his car so he could take a picture of it "driving"! No kidding. I'd like to have been the park ranger who caught him.

Or the same tourist that thought it would make a cute picture to put the baby in the 'arms' of the bear that was sitting up begging at the side of the road?

"Only backrubs," huh? Well, my hands are killing me. Thanks for the quarter rolls by the way, Steve-o. Backrubs my ass. (Look, I'm putting myself through grad school, okay?) ;-)

That's actually an old idea. But, I guess not everybody grew with moose-dung knick-knacks from Alaska in their house (as a childhood friend recently reminded me).
