Poor little things!

That sounds like some bad Australian slang..."Oi! quit  knitting jumpers fer fairy penguins and get back to work!!" ;)

With apologies to our Aussie board-dwellers :)

If only I could knit, I'd contribute to the cause.

I certainly hope they don't try to pull a brown sweater over there little heads.  Everyone knows browns and w/ black accesories don't go together. ::)

Truthfully, I pulled that off the top of my head, of course a manly guy like me wouldn't know much about fashions. ;D

Those poor penguins. We should hold a "We are the World, In the '00S for Penguin Sweaters" kind of fundraiser. Or a Sweater-Aid.

Yes, Sweater-Aid is a great idea.  Of course, Jonman would have to headline! :D

Anyone come up with a Band-aid style "Do They Know It's Christmas" or the "Blink 4 Ant" theme? Something along the vein of... well, I don't know... come on people. The sweater-wearers of the world need you.

Maybe we should look to our great parody authors for a good Sweater Aid song?  :D

Actually, some shades of brown do go with black.

Penguin Aid 2003!! Here's my contribution:

The Penguins Are Needing Some Sweaters
sung to the tune of The Letter by Joe Cocker

Send ‘em a dozen on an aerolane
Or send ‘em a bundle via fast train
Get knitting needles out ‘cause I heard Chucky shout
THE PENGUINS ARE NEEDING SOME SWEATERS!

I don’t care how much I gotta spend
They’re covered in oil and I am their friend
I don’t want them killed from what that ship has spilled
THE PENGUINS ARE NEEDING SOME SWEATERS!

Well, they’re needing some sweaters ‘cause they can’t live without them no more
Listen boardies can’t you see we gotta take care of our penguins once more, seriously!

So help the North Olympic Shuttle/Spindle Guild
And no more Fairy Penguins will get killed
Everyone should knit, it ain’t bullsh!t
THE PENGUINS ARE NEEDING SOME SWEATERS!

Well, they’re needing some sweaters ‘cause they can’t live without them no more
Listen boardies can’t you see we gotta take care of our penguins once more, seriously!

I don’t care how much I gotta spend
They’re covered in oil and I’m their friend
I don’t want them killed from what that ship has spilled
THE PENGUINS ARE NEEDING SOME SWEATERS!
THE PENGUINS ARE NEEDING SOME SWEATERS!
THE PENGUINS ARE NEEDING SOME SWEATERS!

I'll give it a think. Something along the vein of penguins... and sweaters.

Then, after a while, I'll pass it to Kaley Allyn, for she'll be better at it than I ever would. I'm sure she's just as fond of penguins too.
