   The Panda Guru will now enlighten the masses!

Have you come seeking the wisdom of the Panda? First off, thank you for all the well wishes. I am feeling okay. Not great, not bad, just ok. Now, you guys know the deal with these question posts of mine, they are very image heavy and those of you on dial up may have a bit of a wait for it to load. I think I got everyone's questions answered. If I missed your question I will post your answer tomorrow. Now, on with your questions! Mew Wem: Find the anti-derivative of f(x)=(x+2)(3x-4) This Panda hates math. You are an evil, evil person. Don't I need to know the value of "f" to solve for "x"? Oh holy night! I haven't done stuff like that in ages! When I read your question I had a mini panic attack like this was a pop quiz for school and I didn't study, not only that, didn't even bother going to class until that day! To top it off I don't have anyone to cheat from! ::looks around at everyone elses work:: Oh man... enin: Do you drink tea and if so, what is your favorite kind? Panda's love tea! Tea, yes I do drink both hot and cold teas. I do enjoy myself a good hot cup of green tea. For a treat I love milk tea from Tibet. One of my friends went trekking in Tibet and brought back some for me. It was oh so tasty! I have a bit of an international flavor when it comes to tea. ::looks at teas:: I have tea from Japan, Tibet and of all things some Earl Grey from somewhere in the former Soviet Union. Can't go wrong with a good cup of tea. ^_^ James: If Pandas were to form their own political party, what do you think their platform would be? I'll be taking Washington by force! By nature pandas aren't very, when I say "very" I mean not at all, political. They enjoy eating, sleeping and once in a while a bit of world domination. Otherwise they are very easy going. If a pandas were to pursue politics they won't take the typical healthcare, education, debt deduction platforms like all those other generic political groups. Wishy washy I say! Oh no no no! None of that "I am going to say what I think the masses what to hear" campaign promises. Pandas would take the view of "vote for our party or be destroyed!". We strongly believe that things would run much more smoothly if everyone would just do as I say. In other words, if you are not for us, you are against us and therefore must be, let's just say, "taken care of". I've got your support now don't I. Now the second part of your question my dear James. Also...does the bleeping in Jerry Springer annoy you? I mean, sure, you don't want people to be offended. But at the same time, the constant bleeping means that you can't hear what people are saying. Am I the only one who finds this highly frustrating? Yes, I understand your ::beep::ing frustration. You are trying to listen to these ::beep::beep::beep::ing guests on the ::beep::ing show tell their ::beep:: problems and all you get are ::beep::ing beeps! I guess this is why they have those ::beep::ing tapes of the show you can buy that are uncensored. ::beep::beep::! I ::beep::ing hate those beeps too. BubblesMegee: Do you think emotions help or hinder everyday actions in life? Emotions: Help or Hinder? I feel emotions are a very complicated thing. Strong emotions cause many problems in life. Arguments and hate to beautiful poems and love all come from emotions. Some people are driven by hate while others do things out of love. I think it is a mix of the two. It can help but it can also hinder everyday life. From my life an example I can use is getting my chemo injection. I hate it, absolutely hate it. But I do it anyway since I know (hope?) it will help me. I do it for my friends, my family and myself. I do it out of love of life and wanting to be able to enjoy it in the long run. Hate and love both in one decision in my life. Life is a giant mixed bag of emotions. Chocobo Gene: If you could go anywhere, where would it be and why? Up, up and away!! If I could go anywhere I would go to Japan. I would go visit family and friends then go sightseeing and shopping! Oh what fun I would have! pandaro: could i be your first mate, captain? Sure thing! Now go plunder me some bamboo! jacks heartache: what cult classic film do you secretly love? Let's do the Time Warp Again!! Oh Rocky Horror most definitely! I love the RHPS. I have yet had the chance to go see a midnight showing. I would definitely go if given the chance. I would take my newspaper, rice, toast, squirt gun and probably even dress up. What the heck, it would be a blast. I know I would do the Time Warp! My second choice for favorite cult movie would be Cannibal: The Musical. Those songs get stuck in my head. Mamma Vash: If you could live in any period of time, any country, when and where would you live, and what would you be doing? Well I'm off! I have thought about this quite a bit. Needless to say I am a nerd and watch the History Channel a lot. I will be watching something about a time period I would think would be cool to live during, then I would realize all the negative things in that time. Mostly healthcare. A little bloodletting here, hacking off a leg there...we have come a long way in medical sciences. After taking all that into consideration I would like to be in the here and now doing what I do everyday...minus being sick. Yes, our time has it problems but I think things are much better now then in the past. We have more acceptance of alternative lifestyles, interracial relationships and religions. Not perfect, but getting much better. Afterall, we have the internet! Look how big our "community" has become! I now have friends all over the world. That is really amazing. mouse bag: if you could be any colour which colour would you be? I'm blue! I would be light sky blue. Why, whenever I look up at a clear blue sky I feel happy. I want that same feeling for everyone else. How can you not smile when looking at a beautiful blue sky? hEvN: Okay, I'm Captain Greybeard Orangebeard... I really need to know if it is grey or orange... or greyorange? Orange or grey? Now I my hypothesis is that it is orange but all the images of your have been in black and white, thus, more of a grey shade. This confusing people they call you both so everyone knows they are referring to you! "Ahoy Capt'n Greybeard! ::notices beard is actually orange:: Orangebeard!" This accident happening so much your name just became Greybeard Orangebeard! I guess Blackbeard had a much easier time. SomeGuy: Who's dumber, Joey or Phoebe? Joey. Did he come up with Smelly Cat? No, Phoebe did! What can we give Joey props for...making the poster for VD. My vote goes to Joey. "Set another place for Thanksgiving. My entire family thinks I have VD."-Joey #2: That said, who's dumber, Kelso or Fez? Fez: "You're whipped like the family pig." Kelso: "Hey, I am not pig whip" Sorry, this one is a tie. @_@ #3: That said . . . if Kelso falls in the woods, does he make a sound? Yes, from miles around the word " PICKELWEASEL!!" is heard echoing in the woods. aoi': Purple or Violet? Are they the same or not? Violets are Purple! Violet is the name of a flower, purple is the name of it's color. I hope that answers your question. :P Shinigami: Do you like Spongebob? Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Ah Spongebob. I think he is ok. I am not a huge fan but I can tolerate his silliness for a little while. ^_^ blackwings: Who would be on the casting sheet for the part of 'Panda's Bishie Harum'? Saiyuki boys for sure! Who would I choose? I would have to start with all of Minekura's bishie boys and then continue on from there. It would take me far too long to list everyone. ~_^ Sara: Which are cooler: Pirates or Ninja(s)? Ninjas are silently sexy...but Pirates are Panda's pick! Funny you should mention that. My plan, before I started feeling sick yesterday was to post about the next coolest thing to pirates...ninjas and samurai!!! I will probably use that post tomorrow. ^_^ I guess it proves that great (devious) minds think alike! Now to answer your first question Sara-chan, I would have to say pirates. Why, they have so much flare and swarthy-ness to them that ninjas just don't have. Ninjas are silent and deadly not loud and flashy like pirates! For their "stage presences" I give props to pirates over ninjas. Question numba 2: If you're a pirate, what is your awesome pirate-y gimmick? Every pirate needs a gimmick. Me pirate-y gimmick would be posting my radically awesome panda jolly roger flag everywhere! I would plaster my flag everywhere. It'll be on stickers, those little flags you stick in your car windows, annoying pop up ads...that would be my shtick. I shall claim this land as Panda Land! ::sticks mini flag in ground:: Arrr!! anatema: Can you dance? Shake yer booty! My dancing skills are just about the same as the animation. Being, well, panda shaped, does not make dancing my forte'. I love music, I love groovin' along, but I am more of a watcher of those who can dance then a dancer. Now give me a karaoke microphone and I am all over that! ::starts to sing "I Will Survive":: Q2: Can you swim? [I cannot :(] Outta the pool! I am very much like a fishing bobber. I can float very, VERY well. I took swimming lessons when I was just a wee little panda cub. I can swim but I am not a strong swimmer. I usually poop out quickly. One time I was out cliff jumping with friends and I ended up pooping out so I just stayed in the water bobbing around. One of my friends ended up "towing" me back to the shore. LOL Q3: How many hours of sleep do you get per night? It's like sleeping on air! Not nearly enough. Usually I find myself not getting enough sleep at night because of my arthritis. I get pretty sore if I stop moving my joins for too long. I need to get up and move around. Another thing that keeps me from getting the rest I need is one of my dogs. Brynner feels that he needs to let us know if someone, somewhere is doing something. Sometimes he wakes up barking! He hops to his feet, looks around with a really confused look on his face and then realizes that he doesn't know what he is barking at. What a loon. Really makes me wonder what he was dreaming of when he woke up. BankofKev: If a Panda fell off a tree in the forest alone, would it make a sound? Can I get some help here?! No, pandas are pretty padded and are use to falling out of trees. If there is any sound it would be similar to that of a fluffy pillow hitting the ground. ::thwup:: Shinimegami: When you were a child, were you spoiled? I am NOT spoiled!!! ::pouts:: Oh how I wish I were spoiled. When I was a kid we use to get up before the sun would rise to go out and work on the family farm. Many times we missed the school bus (which was a good thing since the ride was over an hour long) and my dad would take us to school on his way into his other job and Japan Airlines. After school we would come home and work on the farm until it got dark. Needless to say I loved the fall and winter since we didn't have to wake up as early. I never got an allowance since all the chores we did around the house were because we just did them. Some of my friends would get money for helping out, we were just expected to help out. My dad loved saying "We give you a roof over your head, food for your stomach and clothes on your back." I don't think I consider my childhood as being hard, but definitely not spoiled. But John does spoil me now...after all, I need to make up for lost time! ~_^ zels hoseki: What's your favorite snack food? I have a special soft spot for any snack food with a panda on the packaging. "Hello Panda", "Panda Land","Panda World" and a bunch of others are some of my favorites. They may not all taste the best, but they are so cute! Otherwise I would have to say my favorite snack food, one that I get for the snack itself, would be Monkey Orange: Baby Blue or Powder Pink?? Baby Blue! With a question like that it makes me think of babies?! I know I am not having one...@_@;; sailor firestar: Have you seen the Gravitation anime? Do you like it better or the manga? Yes I have seen (and own) the Gravitation anime. I am like you, I prefer the manga. I feel the manga has more story to it than the animation. It's just like any of your favorite books, the book is always better than the movie. :P KitsuneTsuki: Do you like ice cream?If so, what is your favorite flavor? Why yes I do, I enjoy ice cream very much. I would have to say my favorite flavor is peanut butter cup or just plain vanilla...which I can put peanut butter cups into! You scream, Pandas scream, we all scream for ice cream!! Ok, time for your Bizarre and Unusual Holiday Reminder! November 19th is "Have a Bad Day Day"! I really don't encourage anyone to celebrate this one. I know! You can celebrate it by wishing it upon those you don't like! >_< Again, I thank all of you for the well wishes and the great questions. It was fun coming up with all the images and responses. I knew I could count on you guys to come up with something interesting to ask me. ^_^ I still haven't been able to make it to many sites but I hope to remedy that this weekend. I love you all and hope all is well with you and yours. ::huggles::
