It must be tough looking like a waiter seven days a week, three hundred and sixty five days a year. Penguins must feel like they're always on duty - forever stiffly attired in their Sunday best.
Arctic Hares and Foxes manage to have two very distinct coats - a dark one for summer, and a white one
for wintertime, when the snow falls. What I'm proposing is a similar kind of thing - maybe a Hawian shirt plumage for a couple of weeks in the Polar summer (if there is such a thing), or, more in keeping with the black-and-white motif that penguins seem to have made their own, perhaps a tracksuit-type colouring for a month or so. Just to give them a bit of a break so they can kick back and relax for a while, free from their normal ultra-formal Tuxedo-esque stylings.

I like it! Twenty thousand male penguins left behind by the womenfolk switch over to the grey sweatsuits (with Polar University initials) and behave in ways the females would never imagine. |

Sea Lion 1:Look! There's lunch!
Sea Lion 2:Where?
Sea Lion 1:In that Hawaiian shirt way over there.
Sea Lion 2:Oh yea. Now I see. He sure sticks out like a sore thumb! |

I heard this idea at a comedy club in Chicago once. Good stuff. Jokes about penguins are always funny.
Google Penguin and "Hawaiian Shirt" and you get the link at left for Tacky the Penguin children's books! Tacky is lostdog's kind of penguin. |

Who said anything about changing DNA - simply slip something casual over the old DJ. |
|

Like a velvet smoking jacket, sheepskin slippers and a silk fez. Only the best for off-duty penguins. They have a hard enough time as it is, what with being naturally comical and all. |

ravenswood - Sorry. I'll try to be more clueless with my next post. My "The World Should Be a Better Place" idea is about ripe for posting now. Two seconds thought should be enough, right? |
|
| |
Would this idea have been better if I'd suggested "Dress-down Fridays" for penguins? |
|
| |
wouldnt it be kinda useless for peguins to have hawaiian shirts? why would they wear them...do they even know what hawai'i is? |
|
| |
seafris: Why does anyone wear a hawaiian shirt? Maybe the penguins can just wear kakhis and a sweater or something. |
|
| |
deleted next remark to save lostdogs blushes. |
|
| |
Maybe they should have spandex
bodysuits with the formal attire
printed on the outside. + |

Holy Crap, lostdog, I would like
you to be nominated for rookie of
the year. |
