"Notes" - A Film By The Penguin

Indeed, definitely not enough honesty in this world, especially among flightless birds.

Coincidentally I found this article from the summer Monterey Bay Aquarium Newsletter:

ARCTIC PICKPOCKET?

by Michelle West

The SPLASH ZONE PENGUIN CAM has become the third most popular web cam in the United States largely due to the antics of a squat (some would say dumpy) blackfooted penguin that keepers have dubbed "Nick the Thief." Shunned by the females in the exhibit, Nick the penguin seems to have developed both an animosity and penchant for revenge against the dominant males who control mating and food distribution. Nick has developed a technique whereby he blusters and squawks fiercely, which causes a raucus ruckus among the other males. In the ensuing confusion, Nick sneaks sardines from the rocky outcrop where the treats are usually kept under the watchful eye of a guard penguin.

People from all over the world have been glued to their screens watching the webcam (viewable at http://www.mbayaq.org/efc/efc_splash/splash_cam.aspx) to see the despicable Nick stirring up the place.

Of course, Nick the penguin's larceny does not always go unpunished. In fact, a group of larger blackfooted males brutally assaulted him when they cornered him against the cliff face that forms the backdrop of the exhibit.

It seems that Nick has been unopupular since the day he was introduced to the penguin community a year ago. When asked why the little guy is such a social pariah, keeper Denny Boyle said, "The damn bird showed up with all these mediocre scripts that he offered to the other penguins to make their short films with. Then, of course, none of them won any awards and they just got really pissed off at him -- especially because he would never shoot his own film. He just acted like 'I'm a big writer - Look at me.' It didn't go over well."
 
Just make sure to cast loads of hot chicks, then take your pick from among them.

Dont worry, this works even if you havent the slightest of prestige or accomplishment :-).
 
Mark, thank you for bring the monster madness into my thread. :grin: I thought it was funny that The Como actually thinks that was a real quote on the previous page. :D

Oh, and how much of that article was hints telling me to get a job at Taco Bell and leave DVXuser forever? :huh:
 
wow, now are you actually going to follow through with this? You'd better, cuz if not next time I see you I'll kick your ass! just a friendly reminder! :D

Rogan

Promises promises ...

Look, I'm going to go head and say it. I am tired of not getting respect like penguin is. Why people think Im not as good at film things as him? Why doesn't Tommy offer to act in my films?
Robbie

Tommy, you need to make Robbie feel better. Why don't you at least offer to be in his film?
 
Nick, I got it. If you don't enter. Just say you lost the entry. :grin:

In all serious - good luck my man.

POSER!? :angry:



:grin: Matt, I was actually going to make that same joke earlier but then I decided to withhold it in case I DO drop out. Haha. I can only imagine the backlash if I don't submit.
 
Hahaha. Even as a young child, Nate knew his way around a light saber. We need to compile all of the penguin graphics people have found/made in one place because they are hilarious. :grin:
