Ore no panda?!

[sekiharatae]

Watch, as I convince anyone who thought I had a brain that I either had you all fooled or lost it sometime recently.

In my defense, though, it's late and it's been a long day.

And I do know that's not what he's saying, but now I'm so tickled I can't quit thinking it.

If you haven't seen the new ACC trailer -- the one with Safe and Sound -- you should go watch it now.

At around 0:54, Cloud is talking to Marlene and he says something to her that -- on first listen -- sounded like "ore no panda" to my untrained ear.  Second listen sounded like maybe it was "ore no bantha" which really isn't any better (although maybe Cloud is a Star Wars fan).

Now, though, I can't get the idea of Cloud telling Marlene that he's a panda out of my head.  ^^;;  Maybe one of you nice people can tell me what he really says, and I can try to convince my so-tired-I'm-silly brain to release this thought.

(still giggling)

Oh, and since I'm spouting crack-brained ideas, I'll also pimp out a crackfic I found through elanor_pam .  It made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe and got a headache.  This Army Life

Nah, I was just saying that if he WERE saying Ore no Panda, it would mean my panda.

Upon listening to it, I first thought he said
"Ore no ban, da na?"
Which is kinda like saying "It's my ban, eh?"

But I couldn't find a good definiton for "ban" that fit.

So I thought he might be saying "Ore no banda, na?" which is basically... it's my banda, eh? haha

So I looked up banda and it means roughly "many branches".

This might fit, because he'd just been talking about tifa, marlene, and denzel and how he always has to rescue them. Maybe he means that they are... like limbs to him? Extensions of him?

Or maybe I'm just making this all up and heard wrong, which happens all the time. Maybe he IS a panda.

Extensions/parts of him is kind of a nice thought. Cloud being all smushy. =)

I still like panda though, just cause it makes me laugh everytime. >.< Tae no baka!

Thanks for playing with it though! Hope you got a laugh, too.

Oh! I wasn't trying to ruin your fun! Tae wa baka jaarimasenyo! (tae's not an idiot!)

Just forget branches, Cloud totally said he was a panda, and that's the cold, hard truth of the matter. Let's fic it.

ROTFL. You totally didn't ruin my fun. I'd like to know what he's really saying =).

I just have this goofy idea stuck in my head though and it makes me laugh. And I like to laugh. =D

And I'm also trying to figure out a way to make him actually call Marlene a panda and have it seem plausible. Then I think about his bear in a marshmallow comment and I wonder if it even needs to be plausible...

Just read this post, I thought I might add my two cents--

"Ore no ban" = "my turn"

:D

Whee! Knowledgeable people for the win. =)
