Widdle baby panda needs a widdle baby panda name... We've talked about it some in kitfisto's original panda post, but there's an official process for giving Panda names. However, we monkeys have never been ones to play by the book, so on the first link, you can vote for the hacked name of 'Butterstick'. [via Wonkette]

Vote early. Vote often. Teach those reds something about democracy, that it's never so black and white!

  • I have to admit, though, I didn't vote for Butterstick. I voted for Long John.
  • Butterstick? My fine French friend, I think not. Sugarlump Rumblehead. Way better.
  • D'oh. Accosted by preview!
  • I'm with the capt. on this, whatever we decide!
  • Where's the "fuckface" option?
  • Since there's an old thread on this very subject already, why does this merit an FPP?
  • Cuterpillar Flutterbye!!!!
  • heh. Cuterpillar. Dunno bees - maybe it's the call to vote.
  • 'cos you can never have too many baby panda posts?
  • bees, pete's right, I put an FPP there simply as a call to vote. That, and I'm bored at work, and this gave me something to do. I apologize if it's not found FPP-worthy -- I didn't see the harm in doing a new one.
  • Don't tell me I've killed my own post! NOOOOoooooooooooooooOOOooooooo!!!
  • We feel so bad
  • Pass me that Chocomel...
  • Let's all smack Capt. Renault around. Oh, look, there's a panda! Let's do it after we all vote for a panda name. Pete: WTF?? You already named him. He's always going to be His Fuzzness, The Duke of Squeee, Reginald "Sweet" von Tehcute-PootPoot, IV to me.
  • Thanks GramMa - me too :)
  • Capt Renalt, not trying to be a shit (which comes effortlessly to a Scot) but I still don't see why the vote issue didn't get entered into the other thread instead. /my day to be obtuse
  • Listen all of you! I said the damn bear's name is going to be Cuterpillar Flutterbye! And I meant it! See this {pulls out small hand gun}, well I'm prepared to use it. If you don't start calling him Cuterpillar Flutterbye right now, I'll shoot the poor thing and there won't be any bear left to name. So, unless you want to start writing epitaths for a nameless panda, start calling him CUTERPILLAR FLUTTERBTYE RIGHT NOW!!!! [wild eyes and a stream of drool}
  • His Fuzzness, The Duke of Squeee, Reginald "Sweet" von Tehcute-PootPoot, IV I concur. And how about Sweet Reggie Poot, for short?
  • There, there, Zanshin -- Cuterpillar Flutterbye soundas good to me, but so does His Fuzzness, the Duke of Squeee etc. Personally, think Bambooswacky is a fine name.
  • No! My name or no name! {points gun at little panda and pulls trigger, but it misses it mark and hits Beeswacky instead} OH MY GOD! What have I done? Bees didn't even want to be here. Bees, are you ok? Can you here me? Oh God, I'm so sorry. I just loved the panda so much. {sob}
  • Well, ye got yourself into this fix, now ye can get yourself out, Zanshin.
  • Now that's just silly. No one can shoot a bee fer cryin' out loud. However. You won't be getting any single-malt. Now think about that!. Hmpfh. *toasts to the bees* *toasts to the bambooswacky* *toastses to th' . . (klunk)
  • {The little nameless panda shuffles over to Beewacky's lifeless body and sheds a single tear that lands on Bee's cheek. Beeswacky's eyes open and the gunshot wound spontaneously closes} Oh, Little Panda, how I love you. You can be named whatever you like. Bees, I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?
  • Zanshin, there's nothing to forgive, really, for nothing actually happened here except your imagination took off and started running with you into territory I am unwilling to go into. I like playing here with monkeys but not when it comes to fancied violence, so at that point I opted out of the scene you were setting. My thinking is that this place is both more and less real than the so-called real world. I do believe we shape both with our thoughts, and so I feel it behooves me to be careful here about what I let myself do. Might be important that I say this for the sake of clarity: a panda is not really here, there is no gun, no shot was fired, and beeswacky is an imaginary companion -- the only thing here is the electgroinic illusion of text and what we project into it. But I'd be delighted to play other games with you within these parameters.
  • *snags Zanshin's run-away imagination, wraps a towel around it to calm it down, coos at it in a soft, soothing voice* there, there now, don't you worry, there's enough room for all the names.
  • "electgroinic illusion" beeswacky, at times your typos form the most wondrous new things! somehow, electgroinic is the perfect medium of monkeyfilter.
  • You must call the panda Legion.
  • Yes, truly wondermuss. So we must immortalize this: MonkeyFilter: electgroinic illusion at it's best! *takes Zanshin's run-away imagination, shakes it out of the towel and slaps it silly. We DON'T play with guns around here, mister! Look what you did, you scared the panda and now Bees and the other Monkeys don't want to play anymore. Now you stand up straight mister, apologize with your hat in your hand, wipe up that puddle of drool, and I expect you to be a model Monkey full of peace and bambooenevelence from now one. *Gramma ends flashing eyes and stern look and tickles panda Who's widdle Tehcute-PootPoot are you, my iddle biddle Squeezee-farty? Thecute-PootPoot wants to kiss his Zanshins. Come give da panda a kissy wissy Zanshinny-winny.
  • CRAP! ITS BEST oh no! ITS BEST I'm going to bed now to get my four hours of sleep before the farrier comes and I have to go back to work again. Poot!
  • Shame. No guns, no violence. But please, leave me to have my pandas. {kisses Thecute-PootPoot}
  • Fuckity Shit-Bag, the Panda, Esq.
  • Panda McLanguageHat.
  • Who's widdle Tehcute-PootPoot are you, my iddle biddle Squeezee-farty? Alex Trebek: I'm sorry the correct answer is George Washington Carver.... Who is George Washington Carver.
  • LOL!
  • I am so dying of laughter at StoryBored's comment.
