Pandamonium

The blog's been on the fritz since cooper violated the space-time continuum, but thankfully we made it through with our elegant yet playful design still intact. This post will also mark the returning functionality of posting.

We're living on the outskirts of the town of Yindang. After a few days of being treated like the liberally educated wunderkinds we are, we started feeling a little too comfortable. Demands were made, tempers were not checked. Truth be told, we probably shouldn't have insisted on pitting their youngest children against each other in first blood cage matches. On the other hand, those kids are going to grow up and be a lot less likely to let some white jackasses pit their youngest children against each other in first blood cage matches.

We had to flee by moonlight as soon as the townspeople realized we were afraid of using our goggles too. I only hope we are able to help restore the good name of the meiguoren.
Currently, We're picking up wi-fi from a maximum security panda holding pin. They're keeping the bears of black and white packed into dusty cages to conjure up as much sneezing and general monochromatic tomfoolery as possible. We're keeping tabs on guard detail and planning a potential panda heist. We're pretty sure the requisite sleepy guard comes on duty around 3 am.

During the day we take shelter in a lean-to I put together with bamboo straws and pilfered sedge hats. We've got a few leaks, so tomorrow night I'll be sneaking back into town to wrangle up some more coolies (note: racist). At night, if the stars are out, we lay on the grass field adjacent to the panda complex. On bad nights, I'll lay awake for hours and listen to that lonesome panda rowr, punctuated from time to time with a lonesome panda sneeze.

Yesterday, as Coop and I were putting together a list of smells that we like, Grapeseed came running out of the woods panting and wagging his tale. From the looks of it, he was being ripened for slaughter and had just barely managed to escape. He's looking plump, but he's still got that keen canine awareness. I think he may just come in handy during our panda liberation.
