Pandas are not vegetarians, they're omnivores. They will eat meat if you give them the opportunity, they're just usually too lazy to do the work to get it themselves. It's just too bad that guy didn't get eaten.

As for those Chelsea signs, that guy must live right near my office at 25th and 6th, because there are dozens of those signs everywhere around here. I'll be sure to give that guy a good kick in the ass if I ever see him.

@12: And those commercials have a little bit of fine print at the start that says "Sequence shortened" or something like that.

I can't resist petting a Chiuaua every time I see one. If they had the prowess of a panda I would surely be shredded to pieces by now.

DooWop. Are you referring to the gay or the anti-gay people?

I don't know about the dirty part but given the chance, most healthy people I know would be fornicators if the opposite was "hot" looking.

Judging from the TV commercials, the IPhone is more complicated to operate than Liutenant Sulu's console on the Starship Enterprise. Clumsy as I am, I'm sticking with Tracfone, which I use about twice a week anyway.

Pandas are bears -- they have sharp teeth and big claws, and if you enter a panda cage you will be attacked by a bear.

#8- No, not really.

Quite a few lesbians are just not.. heteroworthy.

Why are people so anti-gay? If you are a guy, the more gay guys out there actually increases your chance of scoring with chicks, considering most gay guys, at least those that I know and have known, are a hell of a lot better looking and intelligent than those that are not.

That's true, but you also have to take lesbians into account. As the number of lesbians increases it gets harder to score with chicks.

Regarding the Ahole on LI that can't figure out how to use his iphone, what can be said? Born a shithead, live life as a shithead, die a shithead. I know, I know, this might seem complicated but bear with me. To go online press the little square second from the right at the bottom of the screen.

I hope Jen is reading that last note. Pandas are note cute and cuddly. They're ravenous BEASTS that KILL!!!

The picture of that homeless looking guy hanging the anti-gay signs in Chelsea needs to be printed out and hung on every free wall and phonebooth on the west side. Now I know who to accidentally shove down the subway stairs next time I see him.
