This is the best thing ever!!!! It was on BBC Scotland that night, the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! I love how he seemed to take it so seriously, go Nils!

Check out the videos of Edinburgh Zoo’s penguin parade on youtube…so cute!

I would pay that penguin two mackerels and a herring to poop on one of those shined shoes.

As if the pictures and footage wasn’t funny enough. Here’s what happened according to the BBC.

“The proud penguin was on his best behaviour throughout most of the ceremony, but shortly before the ritual was concluded and possibly suffering a bout of nerves he was seen to deposit a discreet white puddle on the ground. “

I don’t know what I love more: the tewtally serious way he inspects the troops; the fact that he was knighted “where his shoulders should be”; or the fact that he’s not even the real Nils Olav! Imposter Penguin!

Really enjoyed the section of the caption “The Norwegian King’s Something Something”. Very succinct & quite elegantly phrased.
Thanks be with you all.

How about an award closer to home? I nominate OPUS!! Having no king here at home, but Knights of Columbus might be able to help me out…

I’m picturing an awesome new TV show featuring Sheriff Sorvino and Sir Olav, pimping through PA in a Gran Torino, fighting crime.

Teho, from the news report:

During the ceremony, Nils had a sword dubbed on each side of his head, where his shoulders should be, to confirm his regimental knighthood.

I also like the part of the speech that refers to Sir Nils’ “Good endowments.”

Oh, and Gaily:

And, to further dispute your point, we in the US also do things like this:
