How much do you usually pay them?

only a stone or two, an absolute bargain.

The good looking ones at least want a mackerel.

Sounds to me you paid the trannies for a good time.

i forwarded it to a friend of mine who said it was photoshopped

i refuse to believe that

i need

1. proof that the picture is real
2. directions on how i can put myself in a new version of that picture



while you could hang out at random bars in pittsburgh, i suggest you start your search at Mellon Arena

well, what you didn't see is when 2 seconds after that picture was taken, that penguin gauged out that one girl's eyes and fed them to its chick.

When I went to Chile, I visited that Island, and the entire island is jammed packed with penguins (and smelly dead fish :(). I smelled like dead fish the entire day :(.

One of the pics I took that day:

Most of the penguins will run away when you walk towards them, but quite a bit of them would just randomly walk right up to you. Some would just stand still as you get really close and just chill.

ok thats pretty cool

but those are not real penguins

:-(

Not real penguins?

I met some in South Africa. Their only home in Africa is a subburb of Cape Town. It is on a place called Boulder's Beach. You can swim with them (although the water is a bit cold I could swim in it for an hour) or you can just see them on the beach.

Cape Town is well worth the trip, and airfares are plummeting.

I swam with penguins in the Galapagos. I also got to pet penguins because my brother works at the zoo. Baby penguins are one of the softest things most of you will never feel.

Hey! I've been there, too!

My daughter, on the left, some woman taking a pic, and a penguin. Cute little buggers.

I'd fully recommend a trip to SA too - beautiful beaches, set against the mountains, gorgeous wine country, and head up north for a safari while you're there :)

Wild penguins don't have a natural fear of humans,
