Yes, it’s all my fault. I slap my face up on the vehicle back window and now everyone wants to stop and say hi. See up in the back window, that’s Mr. Officer giving the man behind us a ticket. Lucky him, (the policeman) he got a twofer that day.

I didn’t have the guts to ask if he wanted to take a picture with me.. so this is going to have to do.

Lucky for the camera girl the officer was in a good mood. We didn’t have our proof of insurance or currant registration with us – why would we? We never get pulled over! Of course we’re never speeding either. Really dumb… We were trying to make it home before my friend got out of school… but instead we got pulled over right in front of the school so he could wave at us when his bus drove by. Brilliant eah?

If I were driving, we wouldn’t have had this problem – I can’t fly, but no one ever said penguins can’t drive! Watch for a photo this April from the courthouse

Penguin got a speeding ticket

I’ve always believed that if you work hard you can make it to the top of whatever you’re after… I never realized that included feeling like royalty.

Royality of a penguin

A while back I was socializing with some socializers when I ran across these two super friendly peoples… Angie A. Swartz and Alan Underkofler are two fabulous individuals doing some amazing things!

Angie A. Swartz and Alan Underkofler

I’ve since had the chance to talk with both Angie and Alan and hang out with them a little. They always smile like this, I love it!!

They each have their own businesses and projects yet they are both heavily involved in a movement that is happening right under our noses. Have you heard about it? The Global Hug Tour. Yes, I said HUG as in grab a pal and give them a squeeze.

I dare ya, do it. Hug someone!

I’m hoping to help spread the word… you know, there’s no such thing as too many hugs. So today, the word starts with you! You can give a hug, share a hug or pass a hug. Or for $10 you can buy a hug and it will be passed on during the tour (read more about it here ).

You can also plaster my huggable bod on your own blog or website… consider yourself hugged!

Penguins and free hugs

I didn’t actually “win” the 5 bucks… a friend handed it to me for being such a nice supportive pal. Isn’t that nice? Unfortunately I forgot to cache it in before I left Las Vegas, so now I have a neat new cup coaster.

Penguin Wins 5 bucks at the Rio

Friends of mine brought me a new penguin friend just after the holidays. Isn’t he cute with his shiney plastic hat and all?

The really embarrassing thing (for him, not me) is he has this issue with his…

Lack of controlling his poop. Really it was a weird hard candy coated treat – yeah, I ate one – that’s it to ya?!

I know what you’re thinking now, “hey, where’s the video, that would be hilarious!”. No it wouldn’t! I’d be the one to have to stand there and watch the guy and film it and then watch him again while I set it up — I’m not all that into poop!

However, if you are a poop enthusiast type, I’ve found 4 fabulous penguin poop goodies for you (minus the stink)…

note: these are not my own creation, I take no claim to their fame. They are, however, referral links – it’s all about sharing the love these day, dontcha think?
If you’d like to get your own pooping penguin, You can’t have one just like mine (it’s a special road trip treasure), but you can have this one…

Pooping Penguins

Almost brand new… I finally have a brand new clean body, yay me! I’d like to say it’s because i’ve switched to an entirely organic, natural, non-preservative diet. No way is that true- I love my junk food!

I’m embarrassed to say, I was getting so nappy and grimy I couldn’t look at myself anymore. Not to mention there are all these new penguins coming out from the creative woodwork, I didn’t want to me the old bum in the crowd. That little circle thing, I was wearing a pink ribbon a while back and when it fell of the camera girl thought it would be cool to glue a mini button on. When that fell off I was stuck wearing a dirty olf circle of paper… no clue what she was thinking making me walk around like that!

But now… now I am shiny and new like the first day I was born. I’m just about a year old now, so this is somewhat of a birthday present to me… gotta treat yourself sometimes, right? (I’m heading to Vegas today too.. woo hoo!)

I gladly accept gifts any day of the year, if you’re curious.

Shout hello if you see me. Maybe we can take a picture too.

If you have one of my penguin pals, I’d love for you to share a photo… that would be the best new shiney gift ever!

Old penguin, new penguin – The Makeover

By this point, you might be asking why on earth is there a penguin hanging out with all these marketing people… and even more important why does this penguin care to share this information with me? Or why so many people at all…  mean, really, penguins should be hanging with penguins don’t you think?

Nooooo. Humans are so very facinating.

Humans are entertaining.

Humans have so much to teach,

they’re quite entertaining,

i love their food

they like to dress like me

they make pictures of me

they sing me songs

they visit my friends all over the world

… and

Humans love penguins. So here I am, being loved.

Besides, I enjoy meeting new ones whenever I get the opportunity (people that is, not necessarily penguins, although I do love meeting new penguins too). I tend to meet most my new people at events the camera girl visits, and she tends to visit marketing events. Why? Because she loves me and wants everyone to know about my fabulousness (yes, thats a word in my dictionary). So what better way to market, then to network and meet marketing gurus… they say you learn best when you surround yourself with people smarter than you. Tis true I say!

If you’d like to share your insight on this idea, please feel free. Or, better yet, show your loving support of me by buying a tshirt of my penguin self and wearing it where ever you go.

Why so many people, penguin?
