Question- What do u do when ur ganged up on by 4 foot penguins?

Answer- well if your Antarctica then you don't do anything cause its a huge fine for messing with the animals. anywhere else whatever u can....

Thought- true story...Back in 2002 I had the pleasure of traveling to Antarctica while stationed on the USCG cutter Polar Sea (an ice breaker). On this deployment we traveled from Seattle to McMurdo station, Antarctica.

while we were in Antarctica we were given ice liberty( relaxation time on the ice) so basically the ship just pulls over in the ice and we all get off to enjoy the sun and some beer and ice football.

"Ice Liberty"
On one of these ice liberties i decided to take my lawn chair and just sit have a few smokes and a some beer, while i was sitting there i got the strange feeling that i was being watched. i didn't think much of it until the feeling got stronger and more creepy. when i turned around there where 2 emperor penguins about a foot away from me just staring at me.. so i got up, grabbed my chair and moved. when i sat back down i looked over my shoulder, the penguins had followed me, this time i decided to just get up and watch them. as i was standing there they decided to check out what i had in the cup holders of my chair (my beer and smokes. i thought it was funny until one of them decided that they wanted my beer and proceeded to take it out of the cup holder and start waddling off, then i started to get mad til the second one say the first one and decided that they wanted my smokes too. yes that is correct the penguins stalked me and stole my stuff... again this is a true story.

Animal- Emperor Penguin

cute right?

The Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species and is endemic to Antarctica. The male and female are similar in plumage and size, reaching 122 cm (48 in) in height and weighing anywhere from 22 to 45 kg (49 to 99 lb). The dorsal side and head are black and sharply delineated from the white belly, pale-yellow breast and bright-yellow ear patches. Like all penguins it is flightless, with a streamlined body, and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine habitat.

Q- wondering today is it really worth stressing over now or wait til later?

T- so i am currently looking at trying to find a vehicle to drive, even though i dont have any money currently but i know i have some coming in over the next few weeks. so i have been looking but seeing how im only going to have a few thousand to work with ive been stressing over what vehicle to get... but im starting to think that trying to plan ahead is starting to stress me out a bit and am thinking that i might be better off waiting to find something when i have the money in hand... though i worry that if i wait to look it will be to late to find something...idk

So here goes todays:

question- does a ninja monkey need safety gear when bowling?

Thoughts- so i made the presidents list at the college last quarter and stead of doing a "tea" thing they decided to take us all out for bowling but apperently bowling is a dangerous sport and to go i have to sign a waver thingy, so that if i get hurt i cant sue them. so i was thinking i better get some safety gear to bowl in so i dont get hurt. that lead to the question at hand i know seems silly but really would a ninja monkey have all the skills to safely bowl with out getting hurt? my thought is if hes a ninja then he should be able to handle the task but seeing how hes a monkey i question whether or not he has the dextarity to bowl in the first place...
