pandacam!!!

Posted on by

Longtime readers of the raincoaster blog will recall our fondness for crittercams of various types, as well as our ridicule of the Guardian NewsBlog when it gave up its barely-credible claims to newsworthiness entirely and gave itself over to liveblogging a pair of nesting carrion crows who just happened to be right outside the office window.

Let us remind you that the primary difference between raincoaster and the Guardianistas is about £15 an hour, and the fact that raincoaster lists eaglecams, peregrincams, and pandacams rather than flyingvermincams.

Standards, people; we’re all about the standards!

Look: baby panda!

pandababy, baby!

when pandas attack...Toronto!

Well in all honesty, if a panda went on a rampage and destroyed downtown Toronto with its laser-beam eyes, all we in the West would say is “Cool! Is it up on YouTube yet?”

As it is, all we have to report is that a panda has eaten a small piece of an American. To which we say, “Cool! Is it up on YouTube yet?”

A panda cub bit off part of the thumb of an American visitor who was feeding the animal at a reserve in southwest China, state media reported Thursday.

The 50-year-old woman, identified only as Lisa, panda attackhad registered in the Wolong Giant Panda Protection and Research Center in Sichuan province as a volunteer, according to the official Xinhua News Agency…

Last month, a drunken Chinese tourist bit a panda at the Beijing Zoo after the animal attacked him when he jumped into the enclosure and tried to hug it.

That’ll teach those damn huggers a lesson!

shrimp on a treadmill

Just what it says. You’ve had shrimp on a bed of rice, so go wild, kick the jambs out and try shrimp on a treadmill.

This isn’t the scholarly, narrated, boring version of the video, the one linked to by everybody and his brother the Total Farker. Naw, it’s the colourized, Flight of the Bumblebee-scored, cheaply amusing version, just as you’d expect from the ol’ raincoaster blog.

And this concludes Cthulhu Day.

Oh, one more thing.

Parsnip.

The Parsnip that bubbles and blasphemes at the centre of the pressure cooker forever, or at least until Grandma remembers she left the stove on

Again, people, this is why I don’t like to swim in the ocean.

Me smart. Watch this if you doubt:

Feral Cat Day!!!

Boomer, put it down and move away slowlyHappy Feral Cat Day, everyone!

Metro, Mistress Cowfish, are you reading me? You might want to stay indoors and do not, repeat, not touch the phone.

Feline is not Felonious.

Yes, as we learn from our good friends the Farkers, Monday is National Feral Cat Day in the US; because we are such good friends with the Americans, we will this once adopt their holiday, as it does not appear to involve bizarre, expensive ceremonies, burning crosses, firearms, or the commemoration of the looting of Yorktown. What did you say, raincoaster????

We’ve even come up with a nifty slogan for our Yankacious readers to use, should they be possessed of the urge to print up t-shirts or decorate a special-occasion cake with a properly celebratory saying.

Spay a Stray Today!

Catchy, eh? You’re welcome.
