The first instance i found in a search was by **elf6c** in a regular _ENT_ thread. It was immediately incorporated into regular Trek Doper speech. Sometimes the Panda is actually in the scene, like the episode where Malcome, Hoshi, T’Pol, and Panda were in the decon after sexing up a damaged Klingon ship. Other times, He’s behind the scenes, like when we saw trip get impregnated by reverse osmosis in an alien holodeck makeout scene. ---

But truely, the Panda is not one thing. It is many. It is in the air, and in the trees. It lives in our hearts and minds. It was there in spirit at the first Enterprise thread and will be there for the last, echoing its enticing mating call. COO COO CATCHOOO WAH WAH NIKI NIKI BANG WOOP! It soothes the soul it does. ---
