Have you spanked a Panda today? No? Then HERE is where you do it!

It is purely a metaphor SaintAnne! Or a symbolic textual representation of a place for all the craziness and ridiculous to be shared freely without fear of persecution! lol. Panda's are most certainly aq cute and cuddly animal and arguably totally innappropriate a choice for the name of this section; but therein lies the quirkiness! If you ever want to get something out of your system with a completely bizarre statement or discussion topic then here is where you do it! We are waiting and eager to embrace the power of insanity together as one! Thanks for the response and I am expecting big and crazy things from you!

Damn that polite NO! When it comes to the "Panda Spanking" interest category add page there should be one button and one button only..... And it should say "Hell YEAH" in big bold letters on it!

How can I join? How can I join? Dang it!!!!! I even started a discussion in this interest and I'm still not a member. Now I'm feeling left out. If a UFO lands in a forest and no one is there to see it, does it still exist?

Oh, yes! This is a classic example of Panda Spanking in action SaintAnne. Non-conformist, going against the norm and not what is expected from you at all. Now THIS is what this new interest group is supposed to be all about! The only thing we should ever expect from each other in here is the unexpected!

Ooooh, word play! Very nice indeed..... I was going to become a procrastinator once, but I couldn't make up my mind about it so I gave up in the end. Did the interest add this time?

But I just want to conform to the non-conformists.

Well I never riyasam! lol. We take a perfectly harmless and humorous ideal such as Panda Spanking and then you go and make it real! Hahaha. Maybe the Panda says nothing because deep down he likes it? Thanks for the response and if you ever feel the urge to act in a ridiculous fashion in the future, then you know where to bring it!

see who started and there you are accussing me!!!!!!!!!!!!not fair!!!

Hahaha. Fair? Maybe there is no fair in the Panda Spanking world riyasam!

I have to say supidta that I like the way you just described this. "elevetae status of my mind" is a great reference indeed! lol. You now don;t have to be concerned with those people around you in the real world because the people in here are waiting with baited breath for the wackiness in all of us to shine through! If it's silly, we wanna hear about it. If you get the inclination to let yourself go once in a while and never have to explain why, then this is where you do it! By the way, there is a bit of under the table money being fed out to the rights groups every week so for now they are quite content. As long as we never spank the Pandas too hard we should be fine. Oh, and the term "Panda Spanking" is purely a metaphor of sorts. If you are doing this then it means you are letting go and doing something silly etc. Thanks for the response.

Tickle their tummies sirrob! If you get the spot just right they will happily fall asleep for hours!

That's the spirit sirrob! lol. A nice balance between reward and discipline will certainly keep these Panda's in their place. Thanks for the response.

Could we really keep them in place? Because they keep on rolling over even when they are just eating.!!

I'm talkin' daily Bo times 10! Stepping it up a notch is the only option for a good Panda Spank Bo! No question that you're crazy; but there's crazy..... And there's Panda Spanking crazy!

Ahhh, so, if I am just crazy, that is normal for me. When I step out of that norm, and people wonder if I might not be feeling well or something is wrong, THAT is when I need to post here.

That would definitely make people scratch their heads and wonder WTF? wouldn't it?

I wouldn't feel right about panda spanking not trying to find the panda spanking roots . We do need a parody topic now, it is only fair to do so . And... I'm off to open one!

Sounds good, so you GO girl! I have to head off to bed, so I'm gonna have to jump on your new discussion tomorrow OK? Mess with their heads cyberfluf, MESS WITH THEIR HEADS!

Oooooh that WAS a long sentence there at the end indeed! Deep breaths cyberfluf, deep breaths! I'm glad to see that a dedicated panda spanker such as yourself made it all the way back to the first ever panda spanking explanation discussion! 'Tis a defining moment! I'm all for rewriting song lyrics to further the cause. We could also take the KISS song "I, wanna rock n roll all night" and change it to "I, wanna panda spank all night" as well I reckon. Jeez, we could re-do the Top 40 for the last 20 years! Thanks for the comments and yes, hurray for panda's and hurrah for spanking 'em!

Perhaps I need to explain the picture which is apparently of a somewhat inexpertly made patchwork quilt. It is known as a Voronoi Diagram and has invaluable applications in many spheres (albeit that it is a 2D map). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram I use it to plan my route round the park, where the dots are trees, park attendants, other horrified users and, perhaps, places where there is a significant congregation of squirrels so that it would be dangerous to squat.

Magnificent! I am happy that you provided the link and a brief description wlwings because I thought that it was an aerial picture of a St Patrick's Day Parade! Next time I am in a park I will take a print out of this "map" because I never seem to be able to find any safe havens to squat these days. I don't have a colour printer though so I had better go to the park at night so the black and white map will make sense!

But we LOVE the panda owlwings! And when we spank 'em we do it so, so gently. Australian Magpies certainly have a unique warble that could be called pretty by some, sure; but they also swoop down on you in mating season and can split your skull open! I have had this happen to me a few times now and it sure ain't pretty! I appreciate the badger link I must say! But to be honest, I think the badger pretty much deserves all the teasing he gets. They are funny lookin' buggers really. Now a word of advice if I could please..... When you are running through the park feeding squirrels, for God's sake don't squat down at ANY time to pick up loose kernels because as far as a squirrel is concerned; nuts are nuts! It can be quite an embarrassing situation having to explain to the emergency room staff why you have squirrel toothmarks in the ol' crown jewels yes? (But the daffodil giving may ease things somewhat) Thank you for the response and I wish you a most prosperous Shrove Tuesday.

We all need to do this once in a while Sandhya! It may seem a little insane at the time, but by doing it on the odd occasion we actually get to provide ourselves with a release that in turn may actually ward off true insanity in the long run! lol. I guess this interest category would have been created while you have been absent so I am glad to see you have gotten the grasp of what it's all about already! Thanks for the response and if you ever feel like stepping out of the normality realm then you now know where to come!

Now that I'm off work, I'm all ready for some panda spanking...especially after all that 'dirty politics' that was going on behind my back and luckily I get to know of it only a few days back. Ok, so where's the panda? I'm ready for some spanking!! And make sure you keep the PETA people away.....this one's going to drive them wild!

Dirty politics? I'm of course happy to hear that you're raring to go on the panda spanking front, but you've completely lost me on the dirty politics angle. Maybe I'm a tad slow on the uptake today or something?

It's OK Celantih as I am sure that you are not the only one that is a tad confused by all of this! The whole point of this interest category is to give people an outlet to be a bit silly every once in a while. If you want to post a discussion one day that is really odd or quirky, then do it here! If you feel like saying something ridiculous in reply to someone else's comments, then do it here also! The term "Panda Spanking" is not a specific one at all and is just something silly that I made up. If I were to give it a meaning then I would probably say that Panda Spanking means letting yourself go and acting like a fool for fun just because you feel like it sometimes! Life can be very serious is all. Thanks for the response and I hope I have explained it all clearly for you now.

I think I'm some sort of a "madness magnet" hiddenwing!

It is clear now. I have wondered it for a long time! By the way, your dicussion is always with a long list, which is pretty interesting!

My pleasure, AntiqueLady! And I wish for you an eternity of happy days also!

You can REALLY thank me by one day popping up with a panda spanking discussion! (Just kidding, but I do hope you do so one day!)

thank you, that is very kind of you.

Whoo hoo freaky body and freaky mind rkrish! We need to encourage a combination of the two every now and then so bring it on! lol. Thanks to an exchange between myself and a mylot friend - steflane; panda spanking was born and will hopefully be around for a long time to come! I hope to maintain the number one position and practice what I preach. The hard part is changing back to normal when I am NOT in this section! Hopefully I will never mix things up and be silly out in the serious areas of mylot otherwise I may confuse some people! Thanks for the response.

The crazy, insane and left of centre comments and behaviour will stay limited to this section only rkrish! I shall be a wearer of many hats and try my best to keep the split personalities in check!

Just restrict you PANDAs' hereitself , if not the close members will create a INTEREST on you just competition to PANDA..BEWARE my friend we need your valuable thought on the other also..as you said.

Well first and foremost I must thank you for placing your esteemed 500th post here grandpa_lash! And how ironic that it has been the weirdest thing you have done all day too! I could not have hoped for a better scenario actually! As for the dilemma, become an existential nihilist. It has certainly worked for me all these years! lol. Thanks for the response.

My dog wentr into training quite youg as a panda spanker, but unfortunately I didn't have a panda at hand, so he started out with a brown bear instead. He is still waiting for his chance at the big time. Lash

Hahahahaha. Perfect! Then bring it all on in Firefly! WTF wants to be a Panda Spank when it grows up. Did you not know this? Try not to Panda Spank too often by the way because some people say it can affect our eyesight! lol. Thanks for the response and if you're ever feeling the occasional short burst of insanity; then you know where to go!

A confession is always a good thing as it cleanses the soul! It's not good at all to hear that you've been sick arkaf, but I think starting off with swatting is something that might end up making you feel better, so I say go for it! Once you've built up your strength with the swatting and gotten back to full health, you'll be more than ready to spank like a pro! And yes, the "no panda's hurt" disclaimer is generally a good idea to keep the activist wowsers away! lol. Thanks for the response and get well soon!

I am very happy to hear of your fascination and even MORE happy to have this interest category bring a smile to your face sharra! This was the whole point of starting this interest group in the first place and I am really pleased to see there are now 100 people so far that have selected it as an interest. Life is too damn serious and we need to let ourselves go every once in a while. And the last thing we want to have to do is explain everything either! Yes, the images we can conjure up if we take the term panda spanking literally can be quite bizarre! lol. But it is of course metaphorical. One way I described it was if you are standing in a group of 50 people and someone walks past this group and trips over the kerb and stumbles; yet you are the ONLY person that roars with laughter..... Then that's a panda spanking moment right there! Thanks for the response sharra and I hope to see some craziness from your end too once in a while!

Thank goodness you didn't say it was like spanking the monkey! It's of course metaphorical as I've explained throughout this discussion and I hope you manage to find some solace here in this category! Thanks for the response sulynsi and welcome to the inanity, insanity and unfettered frivolity! (Well most of the time anyways, sometimes it just ends up plain weird! lol)

I'm feeling all Christmasey now too! And it's MAY for God's sake! It sounds to me like you're doing some pretty intense multitasking there TLC. I actually don't know how to be anything BUT me I'm afraid and I'm pretty confident that other folks'll say the same. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, I am me, I am me, I am me, I am me. Was that poetry??? It kinda rhymed I guess! Loved the song by the way. Santa could do with a good panda spank this year I reckon. Fat red bugger he is. It'll do him good!

That's the spirit! The best thing of all is when we don't even have to try anymore and a daily panda spank comes naturally to us! I've always loved the term too and actually became quite excited when I came up with it. The thoughts that eneter a person;s mind when they say it or read it are pretty bizarre! And that's exactly the point.

It's better to learn of this late then to never know at all! Thanks for the response kelpie and I look forward to seeing lots of rising steam in the near future!
