Ok, my affection for pandas is not exactly news. I've always had a thing for 'em - the first time I remember ever being allowed to watch TV after 8pm (though this might be with the exception of the Red Sox in '86 - I can't remember which actually came first) was an episode of Nova about, you guessed it, pandas. I've had multiple stuffed pandas over the years, and Mom gave me a really fantastic framed picture of a panda a few years ago - it's actually the only thing I've gotten around to hanging in the new apartment yet (gotta do some work making sure everything's lined up properly for the Transmet pages, and I still need to get those photos of Prague I bought in '04 framed...). And more recently...well, you've seen the baby panda in tupperware.

But, in the last 24 hours, two friends have sent me further panda material (thanks, Laurie and Rachel!). First, there's a bit from the Onion, which I really can't do justice describing, and second, there's panda-themed t-shirts. Here's the image from them:
