Well, if you really want to know, MadPanda is short for The Mad Panda of Romantic Entropy.  Long, long, long story that involves a GURPS Martial Arts Ranma 1/2 game and my role therein at a local convention three years running.<br/><br/>Also, these days I am somewhat panda-shaped.  And I have a thing for the little red ones.  (points to avatar)
