    Le Panda 

    She roams amid Le Stalky Trees, She eats Le Bamboo ... s'il vous
    please. 

    Oh ... she is an ancient bear ... three million years old ... a
    semi-divine creature ...credited with the ability to prevent disease
    and to exorcize evil spirits. But of course ... messieurs/dames ...
    you have to keep her around for that. You have to have the necessary
    plant life available in order to feed her. 

    You have to be able to walk  her ... and you would need a
    pooper-scooper of enormous size in order to accommodate city
    regulations on clean sidewalks ... if you wanted to walk her in the
    city that is. Imagine if you will ... the size of the apartment you
    would need. And on a rainy day ... when you didn't want to go out ...
    what would you do? Kitty litter? Ye gads man ... what size box would
    you need? And where would you put those precious gifts she'd leave
    behind on a daily basis? Down the incinerator? Nay nay lads and
    lassies. The levels of asphyxiating noxious odors would dwarf
    anything ever spewed out naturally by nature. And yet ... and yet
    ... you do want your very own Panda. 

    What to do what to do? May I suggest jewelry, mes amis? Might I
    suggest a bangle perhaps? We're talking the giant black and white
    Panda. We're talking here about contributions to the preservation of
    an endangered species. You can't have one as a pet. There are hardly
    any left. Olden emperors once collected their hides. Their
    populations have been decimated. 

    This is true of the mountain slopes of China and Eastern Tibet which
    they inhabit. This is not true of the wrists of fair damsels upon
    which they rest their beauteous bods. There is a designer out their
    ... name of David Webb ... who has made a Panda Bangle of 18 karat
    gold and platinum and diamonds and ruby eyes. As you so quick of wit
    may have already surmised ... I have a graphic of this elegant
    creature now eternally preserved in precious metals and precious
    stones. 

    It's a bit of an interesting fact that for the most part ... it is
    chiefly Americans that adore this creature who some seem to think is
    akin to the bear ... while others think the racoon ... and still
    others think it to be a species of its own. The Chinese--on the
    other hand-- have no clue as to why we like these creatures so much.
    It is a wonder to them. It should therefore be no surprise that an
    American designer created this great looking piece of jewelry. 

    For those of you who are new to this thing called Tidbits...may I
    direct you to my home page at www.tyler-adam.com where you will
    scroll down the left side menu till you get to the area that says
    Tidbits Graphics ... and then click on the link that says: Panda ...
    where you will see a graphic of Xiongmao ... which in Chinese means
    "Giant Cat Bear." 

    And there ya have it. That's it for this week folks. Catch you all
    next week. Benjamin Mark
