Ha!
And do these illegal alien criminals have green cards?
I think not!
How odd that I would just be reading this today.
Ah, so we can add Human…er, Penguin Trafficking to his numerous crimes.
I like pengies. There is very little that can not be improved by the addition of a little more penguin.
Beef stew being one.
So the mechanic says to the penguin, “It looks like you blew a seal.”
A skunk convention.
They will believe he has his suit on backwards.
And the penguin replies “Hey bub…just fix the car and leave my private life out of this!”
In other news…the shirt I wore this evening for our Christmas Eve dinner is covered in Christmas penguins…barbecuing.
I used to have a few photos of another admin who was sitting with a group of penguins. What IS the collective noun for penguins, anyway? He had gone to Antarctica and frolicked with the flightless birdies. I think I lost those files, though.
I call my husband a penguin sometimes, because his feet turn the way theirs do…so pretty much every holiday bag/wrapping paper/card he gets features penguins. They are adorable animals who are always formally dressed for every occasion.
Penguins START the party.
A monkey-suit of penguins?
Brief search yields “colony”, “rookery” or “huddle”.
So a sysadmin was hanging out with penguins? Was he looking for advice? Or did he just want to meet Tux?
A SDMB admin, not a sysadmin. And he was hanging out with penguins to be cool.
One of my favorite cartoons is of a colony of thousands of penguins. There is a single balloon, reading, “You want to know what we need around here? I’ll tell you what we need around here. We need some damn name tags around here!”
I like the one with two penguins standing on an ice floe. One says, ‘Once again, here we are.’
Another is one I saw on a T-shirt back in the '80s. A (non-anthropomorphic, I think) penguin is standing with a Thompson submachine-gun. The caption reads ‘Penguins have no mercy.’
Why, didn’t you know?
Santa obviously lives at the South Pole, because Arctic sea ice is way too mobile and unstable (they regularly put buoys (note the first one, green line) at the North Pole in the spring to track ice drift and by the time summer is over, they are often entering the Atlantic, as shown).
By comparison, the ice at the South Pole moves only 10 meters per year, so even after a century you are only 1 km from the actual location of the Pole if you don’t relocate.
Has Superman also moved?
Silly question. Since the Fortress of Solitude was built using Kryptonian technology, it is impervious to Earthly ice movement. It stays where it wants to stay.
That does make me wonder–I remember reading Superman comics back in the long-ago, and the FoS was built into the side of a mountain, with the giant key the size of a winnebago and a door made of metal. I realize that in the Donner movies & Smallville, the Fortress is a big boat o’ icicles, but is that now canon? Or am I completely misremembering this?
Meaning, if it’s built into the side of a mountain, then no, it’s not gonna move anywhere near that fast.
