Floppy, black-tie event

by Meg on July 19, 2006

It’s floppy limb central, People. This Pengie is trying out his new arms. I like the guy standing next to him, staring, who is all: "Riiiiighteous, Brah."

Pengueeeens

2 Tracey 07.19.06 at 2:36 pm

3 A thinker 07.19.06 at 2:37 pm

*flopflop* *flapflap*

“Dewd, don’t you know penguins can’t fly?”

4 PuppyMomma 07.19.06 at 2:39 pm

I think the one on the left is trying to find his belly-button.

5 Laurie C 07.19.06 at 2:39 pm

I think our little guy is saying “I caught a fish thiiiis big.”

6 ShellBell 07.19.06 at 2:41 pm

Little cutie wants a hug…I will gladly comply!

7 EJ 07.19.06 at 2:42 pm

“I believe I can flyyyyy!!!”

Dream big my leetle snorgle worthy friend, dream big!!!

8 Q 07.19.06 at 2:42 pm

“Do you love me this much?”
Yes, I do, little pengie!

9 elizabeth 07.19.06 at 2:43 pm

belly fuzz = awesomeness.

10 A thinker 07.19.06 at 2:44 pm

LOL, PuppyMomma. He totally is!

11 Apathygrrl 07.19.06 at 2:45 pm

Awwwwww March of the Pingu! Emporer penguin bebbies are soooo sweet, especially the little peeps they make. The little one with the flappy arms says “Dooooooood!” just like a prinny… *shakes head sadly* I’m such a geek. I don’t even know if any of you would catch the Prinny reference.

12 Chris Willie Williams 07.19.06 at 2:49 pm

Yay! I had this photo as my computer wallpaper for awhile, but then replaced it and haven’t been able to relocate the shot. Thank you!

I love them so much!

13 christina s. 07.19.06 at 2:51 pm

baby penguins are so cute. i used to have a stuffed animal collection of penguins when i was little. but i still think nothing will top the manatee video. ;P

14 penguin lover 07.19.06 at 2:52 pm

15 La La La 07.19.06 at 3:03 pm

16 CrazyIvan 07.19.06 at 3:04 pm

Ooooh! I have a little toy pengie on top of my computer that looks JUST like one of these guys! I can look at the pic and SNORGLE! :)

17 Sarcasta 07.19.06 at 3:06 pm

This wouldn’t be another reference to our Linuxy friends out there, would it? *snort*

Behbeh geeks are so cute.

18 Michelle 07.19.06 at 3:09 pm

Has anyone else ever been so Cure Overloaded that they felt borderline violent as a result? Like you want to bite/squeeze/eat (not literally) the baby kitteh/pup/penguin, etc? Because cuddling wouldn’t be enough? The babies in March of the Penguins made me feel that way, and so do these little guys.

19 Tanya 07.19.06 at 3:10 pm

they look like hoppy penguins

20 Michelle 07.19.06 at 3:11 pm

*Cute* Overloaded, I meant, ahem

21 Tami 07.19.06 at 3:12 pm

can I have the one in the middle?

22 tri 07.19.06 at 3:35 pm

scoops up baby pengies and snorgles them all, huffing wonderful baby scent.

23 sabrina 07.19.06 at 3:42 pm

I knew I’d seen that pic before somewhere! thanks for the link to march of the penguins website! great stuff :)

24 Theo 07.19.06 at 3:51 pm

[raises hydrodynamic flipperwing in salute to Sarcasta]

25 jeshi 07.19.06 at 3:57 pm

Totally got the prinny reference. Hopefully these little guys aren’t explosive, though…

26 jaypo 07.19.06 at 4:09 pm

Pengie says “I love you this much!!”

27 Laurie C 07.19.06 at 4:14 pm

Or, “Then why do we even *have* them?”

28 johnny5 07.19.06 at 4:14 pm

He’s preparing to *rumble* Take Over The World!!!

for those who know the Day of the Tentacle game ;)

29 Lizzy 07.19.06 at 4:26 pm

Pengins! Pengiiiiins! Wee little Fluffy McWebtoe-ersons PENGINS!!!

30 alma 07.19.06 at 5:01 pm

Awesome caption, Bro! No, seriously, right ON :)

31 Jenny 07.19.06 at 5:23 pm

So! Very! Fuzzy!!

32 al 07.19.06 at 5:33 pm

i love this picture! so cute. i always think of the guy with his hands up and announcing himself at a party. “i’m heeah!” and the one next to him is all, “what the hell are you doing?”

33 Fish Eye no Miko 07.19.06 at 5:35 pm

Michelle asked: “Has anyone else ever been so Cure Overloaded that they felt borderline violent as a result?”

Yeah, but I think most people react that way to Robert Smith…
^_~

34 Tanya 07.19.06 at 6:53 pm

march of the penguins…

35 Tanya 07.19.06 at 6:54 pm
36 Marty 07.19.06 at 7:01 pm

I love penguins!!!! They easily fit the rules of cartoon cuteness: pear-shaped bodies, short arms, high forehead, small nose, coy expression…

37 finn 07.19.06 at 7:06 pm

and they’re comical.

who can be sad when there are penguins?

38 pendlerpiken 07.19.06 at 7:43 pm

johnny5:
rofl :) I had completely forgotten that game :D thanks for reminding me!

39 gunngirl 07.19.06 at 8:00 pm

The baby penguines are TOOO CUUUUTE! I want to eat them up! ADORABLE!

40 AuntieMame 07.19.06 at 8:49 pm

I had no idea that adult penguin bellies were so nubbly. I guess I thought they had smooth skin. Although they are birds, so I suppose it’s not outside the realm of possibility that they have feathers…

41 Tracy 07.19.06 at 9:21 pm

Love black & white animals and the baby pengies are toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!

42 Aubrey 07.19.06 at 10:19 pm

Finn:
Penguins are comical AND conical. And you’ve realized the Power of the Penguin: they bring everyone joy. Is that some kind of mind control, or what?

Incidentally, I have to add a penguin usage warning: do not, I repeat, do not, put a penguin on your television set. I did and the explosion was heard for miles.

43 AuntieMame 07.19.06 at 10:22 pm

Where do penguins come from, anyway?

BURMA!!!

(long pause)

What’d you say Burma for, then?

I panicked.

44 Aubrey 07.19.06 at 10:27 pm

Auntie:

Stop acting so goofy, now. We all know that they come from Penguinsacola.

My brain hurts.

45 J. Bo 07.19.06 at 10:35 pm

Penguin #1: You look like you’re wearing a tuxedo.

Penguin #2: How do you know I’m not?

PENGHEES!!!

46 Brak_Silverbone 07.19.06 at 10:40 pm

I think the second penguin from the left is getting insecure about whether he used his deodorant today, and is trying to surreptitiously sniff his own armpits.

47 MaryAnne 07.19.06 at 10:50 pm

“Dude, Linux *has* their model, give it up…”

But (flap), I’m so darned CUTE (flap, flap, flap)!

48 Ani-chan 07.19.06 at 11:34 pm

Apathygrrl, I’ve always watched but never commented… but I have to come out of hiding… because of… Prinnies! I love that game! ;D One of the best of its time, without a doubt.

Okay, now I’m out in the open. Meep?

49 J. Bo 07.19.06 at 11:43 pm

Penguin on the left: My… my pants– where are my pants? What happened to my pants?

50 Laurie C 07.20.06 at 12:09 am

J.Bo – excellent caption.

51 J. Bo 07.20.06 at 12:27 am

Well, Laurie C, penghies are notoriously modest…

52 Lauri 07.20.06 at 12:58 am

I think Pengie on the left dropped a Cheeto down his fuzzy shirt.

Love em!

53 Aubrey 07.20.06 at 1:06 am

Perfect for the summer: Anjou Penguins!

54 Bailey 07.20.06 at 1:08 am

I think the two on the far right are the Jay and Silent Bob of the penguin world.

55 Thalia 07.20.06 at 2:09 am

No, no, Aubrey, they’re from Penguinia, where the snowballs are warm as toast.

Whoa. Obscure Tanith Lee reference. See what The Cute does to my brain?

56 Nalian Youmer 07.20.06 at 3:41 am

omg!! this is soo cute and i love the colour coordination..!AAHAHA

57 Michelle 07.20.06 at 5:02 am

I got a “penguin adoption” for my birthday last year. Unfortunately they didn’t send the little guy (girl?) to my house, but the researchers marked its burrow with the name I gave it (James Bond) and send me pictures of a slightly freaked out-looking penguin every now and then.

58 betty 07.20.06 at 5:17 am

Ha! I just watched Clerks the other night with my son..those two on the right are SO Jay & Silent Bob!

Very floofy and cute Jay & Silent Bob, tho’, I must say!

59 hrh.squeak 07.20.06 at 7:24 am

Theo: I think this little guy would fit nicely into the Yay! Baffle looks great in there, by the way. Somersaults of kitteh joy!

60 Lauri 07.20.06 at 10:52 am

Yes yes yes, hrh.squeak!
He is a perfect “Yay”! :)

61 J. Bo 07.20.06 at 11:36 am

“Adopt a Freaked-Out Penguin”– Michelle, I think this charity may soon become more popular than Amnesty International!

62 Theo 07.20.06 at 12:34 pm

HRH Squeak & Lauri — yep, that’s a Yay penguin, all right. It’s gotten pretty crowded in there, though… :-/

63 ariel 07.20.06 at 1:04 pm

don’t gimme that!
fit him in!
persevere!

64 Barbara 07.20.06 at 5:13 pm

Looks like they are auditioning for the upcoming film, Happy Feet…the trailer is out:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/happyfeet/

65 Hannah 07.20.06 at 9:00 pm

No…Not march of the penguins…. All the penguins DIE in that movie…

66 J. Bo 07.20.06 at 11:11 pm

Gee, thanks for giving away the ending, Hannah… GAAH.

67 Subhangi 07.21.06 at 4:32 pm

EEEEEEEEEE!! Baby Emperor Pengies!!!! *Flap, flap*

68 pb 07.22.06 at 6:02 pm

Sadly, only one or two of those babies will ever live to see one year of life.

69 core 07.23.06 at 2:52 am

Barbara, I can’t wait for November – I swear that’s all I’m sticking around for. In this particular shot, I love the big honkin’ clutchy pigeon-toed foot claws. Is pigeon-toedness a rule of cute yet? In fact I’d say second from the left is looking at them aghast going “I can’t believe how big they are – aaaaaah!”

70 sierra 07.28.06 at 10:29 pm
