Unitasker Wednesday: Panda poo souvenirs
To begin, we’re not certain that this is a real news story. If it is accurate, however, then we do believe that we may have found the unitasker to crown all unitaskers:
The panda poo souvenir!
Let everyone know that you are serious about liking pandas. Don’t be satisfied with a measly t-shirt or a baseball hat with “I Love Pandas!” printed on it. A plushy stuffed animal definitely can’t show the world your true feelings. No, you have to go above and beyond what fair-weather panda fans do. You need hand-crafted artwork made of panda feces to really make your statement. You won’t care that it smells up your house and causes sickness in small children and the elderly. Little things like this won’t hold you back. Profess your love for pandas in the best way possible. Stand proud with your poo!

**Unitasker Wednesday posts humorously poke fun at the single-use items that seem to find their way into our homes. In this case, we deeply hope that this does not come within 30 miles of where you live.

It’s probably true. Long while back when I was younger, my dad went off to some remote place. I kept nagging him to get me a souvenir and when he came back, he presented me with a statue of a rhino… made out of rhino crap. It was inside a large cup sealed with plastic wrap, but it was still gross.
I got him back though. I opened the thing and placed it under his bed behind some boxes in his apartment.

I think the idea of these things is to put them in your garden as fertilizer. Still bizarre and nasty, but not as bad as putting them in your living room.

They’re actually quite handy. You just put them in the garden and let them dissolve.

Of all of the things that I have gotten rid of over the years, one has managed to stay around — fake poo. Amazingly, I have found gag uses for it tons of times… and I love to see my husband wince with annoyment over my placement. At some point, I’ll eventually part with it — or bring it to work (I’m sure that you can fathom its purpose in Corporate America).

@ellipsisknits and Brian–
Really? I didn’t get from the article that these were to be used as fertilizer. Bamboo (the main ingredient here) has a slow decomposition timeframe, which makes it wonderful for flooring and housing. I can see how other manures might work in the way you suggest, but I’m pretty sure that “knicknack” is this function. Hmmmm. Maybe I’m wrong … Either way, it’s still creepy.

Where are you finding these news bytes?… maybe we could sneak a dung beetle into the vignette and make it multi-geographical ! This is a classic example of “you can’t make this stuff up” !

I was in Alaska in July, and they sell moose poo gewgaws of all varieties. Is there anything capitalism *can’t* turn into profit?

The worst aspect of this “gift” to me is that a person actually hand shapes the poo… talk about a crappy job.

Ya know, at first I was apprehensive, but now I see this incredible void in my life that can only be filled with a poop panda.

i’ve actually purchased a journal from the wild animal park that was made out of panda poop. they even have them made from elephant poop.
