Subject: Why Penguins?

Written By: Trimac20 on 03/07/06 at 5:00 am

Probably a real  ??? question, but a question for ChuckyG, what inspired you to use penguins to denote members of inthe00s.com? Do Penguins have some hidden significance? Or did you think, what the heck, penguins are cool...

Or maybe it's not something so sick, and he just likes penguins..?

It's been penguins in some form or other ever since I've been a member.  Before the board crash it was different types of penguin such as King, Rockhopper, Gentoo, Royal, Chinstrap and Macroni.  Only Chucky was an Emperor penguin

As the great, but sadly currently absent, Jonman, has pumped into me on numerous occasions.. "Penguins are cute and everyone should have one in their bathtub."

because it was easy to make rankings with.

I knew there were a few different classes of penguins, and it didn't have anything to do with a particular decade, culture, etc.

The first one was penguins by their approximate sizes (not strictly though).

The current system is fictional penguins by how cool I think they are.  Sadly, the Madagascar movie penguins did not get a ranking sine they appeared after I changed the rankings.

I have a theory...a theory connecting penguins and pop culture. I just don't know what the connection is  yet.

Penguins are making big screen comebacks - first with March of the Penguins and next with the cute animated musical Happy Feet - made by George Miller (the guy who made Babe).
