2. The 4th commenter will win a t-shirt of me - which me? It’s the winner’s choice.
AND
3. The first person to comment at or after 4:01pm (MST - thats Colorado time) will win a me pocket plushie (looks just like all the pictures of me) BONUS - if you comment right at 4:01 you will also receive a brownie - yes a real edible brownie.
Some Infos and “RULES”
Please make sure you enter a valid email address. If you win, and I can’t get a hold of you, then you forfeit your new me treasures… sorry, just means more me for me!
*You can only win one prize
*Commenting more than once will get you disqualified. EEeeek, don’t do that!
**Privacy - your email address, name or comments will not be used for any other purpose than to contact you if you win a prize. I am not an elephant; my memory is awful. I will not remember anything about you or your email address after today - so say what you want with confidence. I won’t remember tomorrow!
NOTE: I don’t fall for sappy or mushy gooey. I do like chocolate, but I’m not a sucker for brown noses (I like beaks, remember). And sincerity is as important as telling your mom you love her and meaning it - oh, thats an example of sincerity but yeah, you know what I mean. However, I do like ego boosts from time to time and I’m obsessively infatuated with twinklie things (reread that, I did not say nor mean Twinkie).
Happy sharing! 
*** Winners will be announced on April 3rd. Please expect up to 2 weeks for delivery.
Oh and a last thought note - I am just a penguin, I am not an attorney. I’ve made up all these rules in hope of a fun filled winning experience - however, if I forgot to include something please just remember to play nice.
and no, this is no joke, you be a fool not to leave a comment ~ big grins

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…

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!

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.

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?

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.

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!

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!

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?
