Penguin-Flipping




Penguin-Flipping.  It is a noble art.  One that takes skill, grace, and of course, a penguin. 

Penguins, they are the cutest, cuddliest, most clumsy creatures in creation .  They just waddle along on land and live their little lives being downright adorable.  Could you just picture it if someone came and just flipped one.  Just picked one up and turned him, plopped him back in the snow on his head.  His little legs waving in the hair, shaking his tail feathers.  I know it sounds insanely cruel, but keep the image with me for a minute and tell me it’s not slightly amusing. 

Penguins are resilient, they don’t mind having their head in the snow for a few seconds, they just pop back up, shake their head, look at you with those loving and forgiving eyes, and waddle on their way.

Ponder Penguin-Flipping; the perfect polar pastime for penguin-loving people .

I was a little sad that Sarah Palin wasn't going to be VP and my friend said that she had to go back to Alaska to flip some penguins, I just took over from there.

I think that blog was absolutely fantastic. I laughed the entire time. Jennifer you did quite a job in discussing the time old alaskan tradition of penguin flipping!

All I know is that if Sarah were to take a break from flippin those cute lil' penguins, she would be quite proud. She may even ask you to come over and flip penguins, while you look at Russia from her house... Hey, it could happen!
