Penguins, Pot & Other Stuff

Was at the CNE a couple of years ago when the opportunity of a lifetime for Penguin fans presented itself.  We were getting ready to leave when I saw someone dressed up like a clown driving a golf cart on the CNE grounds.  He was pulling a long line of penguin statues behind him as if they were cars of a train.  I quickly wheeled to the end of the line and became the Quack-Train caboose.  Classic!

I can’t believe it.  It seems a couple of gay penguins are creating a stink with some parents.  Check it out http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/illinois/chi-ap-il-gaypenguins-bookf,1,3795825.story?ctrack=1&cset=true

This was around a while ago but it’s worth another look.  Just go to the web site, click on the abominable snowman’s belly, and try to smack the Penguin by clicking on the snowman’s belly to swing the baseball bat.  What’s your best distance?  A prize to the longest smack!  Here’s that link: http://n.ethz.ch/student/mkos/pinguin.swf

My boys picked up an Oscar.  Only goes to show that penguins are not only good-looking; they’re also very talented!

Do you know any other creature that walks/waddles, swims and slides around?  There are famous penguins in movies, cartoons, television shows/commercials, on book covers, on icebergs and a lot of other places.  How many famous penguins can you name?
