since you put these fat penguins up yesterday now I'm being hounded mercilessly to speed up getting the babe to deception island. look, dear. you have to stop doing this to my wallet because it is a slogcovery.

lol. Sorry, my friend. That might not be all body fat. Emperor penguins carry their young in pouches, similar to a kangaroo.

And they really do gather in formation like Berwyn is showing here. His caption on this photo was 'Communing'.

Have fun. Take lots of photos.

tell me, dear.

exactly how does the knowledge that there are probably even cuter baby penguins hitching a ride with mommy penguin supposed to keep me from forking out the big dough for the extravaganza trip?

I'm on it. this is a payback for winning the spotlight, isn't it? I keep sayin that I can't help it if the knucklehead paulbots follow me.

Daddy penguins carry the new baby penguins around too.

There's a bit of justice in that, isn't there, honey?

Thank you, Nanny.

Is this a honeymoon trip or can scarce and I tag along? Seriously.

Good to know. Based on the ticked off demeanor, I'll venture out that first fat one in line must be a dad made to do babysit detail. That's gotta hurt.

charlie. man, it's good to hear your voice. With you and scarce all the way on the east coast life just isn't the same, bud. Off the top of my head, I'm all for it. Will call.
