I SWEAR TO GOD, IF ANOTHER DRUNK THREAD TURNS INTO A "LET'S DESTROY THE CUTE AND CUDDLY IMAGE OF ONE OF OUR BELOVED CUTE AND CUDDLY ANIMALS" I WILL FUCKING MURDER ALL OF YOU.
On a scale of jaywalking to child-rapist, how illegal is it to have one of these as a pet in New Zealand?
This is a non-issue in this regard. Penguins are birds and everyone knows birds are evil. All of them. Seriously, fuck birds.
1. I find January Jones a bit boring, but GOD DAMN does she look beautiful in the episode when they're in Rome: 2. I'm rewatching Mad Men so that I'm hopefully recaught up by the time the new season starts and GOD DAMN I forgot exactly how excellent it is. 3. GOD DAMN chocolate covered pretzels are the embodiment of heaven on earth.
Ive got too many shows to watch to rewatch all of Mad Men before it starts. Thank god South Park and Game of Thrones comes back soon too. Im behind on Dexter and The Walking Dead.
I . . . this photo is confusing? I am not totally up on my Penguin knowledge. But, I was thinking they're pretty adept at living in the cold. How did it occur to someone that, "Hey, where we're living, with clear sidewalks and no snow on the ground, is probably colder than Antarctica. So, I'll give these little guys some sweaters."
Something like 80% of the world's penguins live in tropical climates. Only a few species actually live where we normally associate penguins (in the snow). I got to swim with the penguins when I was snorkeling in the Galapagos a couple years ago. It was 80 degrees out every day and I'm sure those birds would have been quite unhappy if I had brought one home in the winter, even to temperate North Carolina. It was pretty cool, though - they're fast as hell under water. The penguins would shoot past you like they were fired from a gun.
Well, I'm heading into Boston a day early on account of tropical temperatures here in Vermont. Also this hostel is fucking dead empty, so.
I guess some penguins got caught in an oil spill, in order to keep them warm and from preening themselves people knit them sweaters.
So tomorrow we are expecting a huge display of northern lights. I think I am officially going to take a flight up north of the Arctic circle. Here's hoping for cheap last minute flights. I would love to take the lady and share in the splendor of the Aurora, but fuck it, she is dead weight and saw them all the time growing up.
