I’ve seen “panda” referred to in many an Enterprise thread. I missed that joke somewhere along the line. Would someone enlighten me? Purty please?

A long, long time ago…

In a thread far, far away…

A Trek Doper referred to Pander the Panda beause of some overt sexuality in certain scenes in ENT.

It was shortened to Panda.

Search Cafe for Panda for about November of last year in an ENT thread.

If you can’t find it, one of us will have it on our old CP, I’m sure. But, it’s late and I’m off to my sleep chamber.

There’s a Plushie Porthos toy, but we really want a Plushie Panda with anatomically correct parts.

I have insomnia so [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=145476) you go. Ctrl-F and type in Panda.

Notice the lack of **Aesiron**. That’s a dead give away that it’s a subpar _Enterprise_ thread.

Aes, it ain’t subpar, it’s subwarp!

Sorry, little Lorie girl. We’ll get this thread rocking just like all the others.

_duct-taping pants firmly in place_

Yeah? Think so? I’ll show you! Why, these pants are stuck on better than any pants ever were before.

Now, if only I’d remembered to put on a shirt…

Suddenly, I have the horrifying suspicion that you are not really a woman.

I have a hideous vision of a sweaty, hairy-backed guy sitting naked in his basement, fantasizing about a nubile exhibitionist who _just can’t help_ mentioning her sweet jujubees at every opportunity. Her perky, heaving, glistening… _–type type type–_ “Yeah, this’ll get 'em going…”

\<cartoon character\> :eek: _ogidy ogidy ogidy ogidy ogidy_ \</cartoon\>

(Sorry. I just found it mildly ironic that the SDMB, while making fun of Trek Panda, cannot resist gravitating to its own species of bamboo-rubbing carnivore. :D)

Teehee. Well _you’ll_ never know, **Cervaise**. But for the record, I don’t have a basement.

I see your point about the irony of our panda mockery, but for my part, I _like_ the panda. It makes me happy.
