    Penguin... I think you're the greatest! In fact, I think you're my idol. No, really! I wish I could be you.. traveling, meeting new people, getting head rubs. You're always smiling and cherishing each moment in life. You have such an easy time making new friends and the kids, man, the kids LOVE you! You're the best...

    What's not to love about Penguins? They are COOL! Must be the ice they hang around. Go Penguin Go! :wink:

    The worst question I was ever asked as a tour guide at Sea World: "Are penguins white meat or dark meat?" I am sorry if this scares you dear penguin, but it is technically on the topic of penguins. If it makes you feel better, I deduced they are probably dark meat 'cuz of the fat and oil, and people prefer white meat, so I think you're safe. A less scary penguin fact, you ask? Did you know King Penguins have square pupils? I know... weird.

    "Penguin Poetry" - Bjork

    Swimming through - The dark currents
    I find - An accurate copy
    A blueprint - Of the Penguin
    In me

    Swirling black swimming totally sweet - A secret code carved
    Swirling black swimming totally sweet - A secret code carved

    He offers - A handshake
    Crooked - Fishy flipper
    They form a pattern
    Yet to be matched

    On the surface simplicity
    But the darkest pit in me
    It's Penuin poetry
    Penguin poetry

    Morsecoding signals (signals)
    They pulsate (wake me up) and wake me up
    (pulsate) from my hibernating

    On the surface simplicity
    Swirling black swimming totally sweet
    But the darkest pit in me
    It's Penguin poetry
    Swirling black swimming totally sweet
    Penguin poetry

    Swirling black swimming totally sweet

    I love him, I love him
    I love him, I love him
    I love him, I love him
    I love him, I love him
    She loves him, she loves him

    This time
    She loves him, she loves him
    I'm gonna keep it to myself
    She loves him, she loves him
    She loves him, she loves him
    This time
    I'm gonna keep me all to myself
    She loves him, she loves him
    And he makes me want to hurt myself again
    She loves him, she loves him
    She loves him, she loves him
    And he makes my want to hand myself over

    ok, so I re-wrote it a bit and renamed it... I love you The Penguin! I'll re-write songs until the break of dawn!

    Why do we love the penguin? That's easy.

    Everyone knows penguins rule! It's the whole black & white thing - the same reason I love my Siberian Huskies!

    And the Penguin loves to travel to exotic places, like Affiliate Summit and lunch on outdoor patios of Denver cafe's.

    Go Penguin!

    :grin: I love you because you bring smiles to the faces of children of all ages. :grin: You increase the amount of joy in the world with the simplicity of just being you. And you fulfill the need we all have to love someone innocently; just because you are you!

    Penguin, Penguin what do you see? I see computer geeks staring at me.

    We love the penguin penguin because he is always dressed so sharp.
  • Jen F · 1 year ago
    All this talk of dark meat and light meat and I forgot to get to the point. Dear Penguin, you are a wondrous friend, the cutest of the cute and not nearly as obnoxious as that darn Kookaburra I keep hearing about. I appreciate and share your love of travel. And we both like sushi. Kindred spirits perhaps?
  • JunaD · 1 year ago
    What's not to love. Penguins are classy. Tuxedos were designed after them, right? After seeing March of the Penguins and Happy Feet, I learned they are dedicated to keeping that egg alive and they can dance really well. Plus I like watching them walk. :grin:
  • Nifty Galoot · 1 year ago
    Ah... I loves Penguins! Does that make you blush and turn red? Are your black and whit and red all over? I loves you anyway! :grin:
  • Shawn · 1 year ago

    To Whom it May Concern,

    I manage a pocket penguin band. Their name is the PP-Rock Funk Quartet. The big problem is there are only three penguin members. Carl, Bill and Fabio can't sing as they don't have mouths, eyes or feet. So, Carl plays the drums very well, Bill, the Guitar and Fabio is a dream on the keyboards.

    For fifteen years I have been looking for the lead/singer. We have tried Jon Bon Jovi, Lisette Melendez, even John Denver auditioned. Here you can see Cartman's audition, it didn't go too well: http://www.loveaccordingto.com/argue.jpg


    When I first laid my eyes on the traveling penguin, I knew my search was over. So, Fred or Francine(if she is a girl) will be the lead and sing vocals. The front 'man' of any band needs to have charisma, charm and frankly needs to look good. I have been searching for the perfect fit for a long time. I believe I have found the 'one' I had set out to find over fifteen years ago.

    As soon as Fred/Francine arrives, we will begin touring and reporting our travels. I know that Fred/Francine will have a much more successful SOLO career then with the PP-Rock Funk Quartet. And I know his/her travels will be very well documented.

    And now I wait for Fred/Francine to join this little family and live....


    Happily ever after.

    True story: kid woke up from nap in a really bad mood... screaming, crying. She came downstairs and saw the penguin on my computer and immediately stopped screaming and said "penguino!" - Spanish for penguin, of course.

    Penguins--Who else has no knees, can swim but can't fly, is as small as a Blue Fairy Penugin or as large as an Emperor Penguin, mate for life, can live in hot or cold places, never fears a polar bear but is fearful of a skua bird? Penguins are wonderful, fascinating birds that capture the hearts of young and old. My heart will hop from rock to rock if I were to win you the Penguin.

    noodles Penguin who inspired the adorable Artist penguin that makes me grin and giggle every time I see it ... paint smears ... feather boas ... fishing ... you and your travels have inspired so many penguin poses that bring smiles to the world and make it a better place .

    Starbucks offered stuffed animal red penguins for sale at Christmas time in the Houston Texas area ... but I could not buy one ... I found it painful to even look at them ... it reminded me of how the world of the penguin is melting and endangering each and every one ... a blood red penguin was not something I could bear to have in my home on a shelf ... but in homage to the mighty penguin ... I am turning out the lights to save energy every chance I get ... I have windows at work so when not doing close up reading of Arial 6 pt in Greek and the sunshine is out in the yard ...the light is going off to save energy and do one tiny little part for trying to save the penguin's world.

    And Earth Day is coming too! I expect great things from you mighty penguin for Earth Day ... a march ... a parade ... an awareness campaign perhaps ... ??? ... Please be sure to invite me to participate!

    Penguin you are so cute and you are the perfect companion. Any day is better with you - full of smiles (and some funny looks from strangers.) No, that's not a pencil in my pocket, it's my penguin and he's happy to see you!
  • Blipfish · 1 year ago
    Penguin, I love you so much because you posted bail that one time even though I told them it was your car, and when you gave me the cash because I didn't realize the girls in Vegas didn't take personal checks.

    Oh, and I really love you for that time that I thought it was a girl but it was really a guy and you warned me (seriously, that was hard to tell - that skirt was hawt!) and you saved me from having to ask her/him for credentials and a plumbing report. Man, THAT would have been embarrassing!

    Seriously, Peng... we go way back and I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for you.

    ...oh, and thanks again for visiting me during hours on Tuesdays. It makes my 3-5 years more bearable.

    Okay, here's the deal. Dear cutest penguin ever ~
    I love you. I completely "L" U!!!! You are so cute and cuddly and have a charming personality to boot! My feelings about you can best be expressed through the lyrics of a 1980's Cheap Trick song, "I want you to want me, I need you to need me, I'd love you to love me!" "I'd shine up my ol' brown shoes, put on a brand new shirt, get home early from work, if you say, that ya love me!" " Oooooh, didn't I didn't I didn't I see ya cryin'? Awwwh, didn't I didn't I didn't I see ya cryin'" " feelin' all alone with out a friend (that's you penguin!) makes me feel like dyin', oh oh, didn't I didn't I see ya cryin'" guitar solo wa wa wa wa wa wa wa do do do do DEEEE..."I want you to want me!" I just feel like you complete me and I could, if given the opportunity, complete you. I mean you're cute, I'm cute, let's make this thing happen already. We can't fight fate! I promise to take good care of you and show you around town in style. I live in nyc and there's lots to do. And if people see us chatting on the street, there won't be those usual awkward stares. You know why? Because we're in freakin' NYC where people are people and all people have a little bit of crazy in them. All the hustle and bustle brings it out in everyone so no one really bats an eye or wags a flipper! In conclusion, I love you penquin! Will you be my friend? :grin:
