siebkens Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 I think you need at least 2 pair of these too! Vampiric Penguin Slippers!So I was browsing through one of my Psy Clothing Outlets one day in a desperate attempt not to think about Hatsuma, when I discovered that yet another one of my genius ideas had finally made it to the open market. Psychic Vampire Penguin Plushie Slippers! An incredibly cute line of footwear (Perfect for both indoor and outdoor use!) that transfers energy from your opponent’s brain into your feet, greatly increasing quickness and agility. I must say, this certainly came in handy escaping from security when I wore them out of the store.-----------------------The amazed at how much stuff is on the net about vampire penquins Sieb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siebkens Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Sure! And one of these too! Psychedelic Penguin Shirt!It’s our greatest achievement yet. A fashionable penguin shirt that gives it’s wearer complete psychic control over their environment. This one I’m wearing now is just the prototype. I decided it was a bit too powerful to release to the general public. I’m sure whoever did this to me has some plan to get their hands on the secret of our one of a kind psychic clothing. Not that I blame them for that… these shirts are really cool if I do say so myself. What’s that? You want to try it on? You pervert!--------------------------------------The gotta go pay bills that I've put off for 3 days Sieb!PS - I like the mix of psychedelic & psychic in the ad.

teacher Posted June 4, 2003 Author Share Posted June 4, 2003 Keep the psychic but I'll borrow the shirt. Do you think it will keep the penguin in line? Go pay your bills and loan me the shirt. Oh, I forgot, the penguin has gone to sleep! Maybe another time.__________________-The Jealous Teacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to see if she turns into a shedrake. I had to leave the party thread. I just can't be around smoke. Bruno, where is the wine. Oh, I remember, I am suppose to pratice opening the bottle. I've got a very fine vintage here. Let me show you my new pouring technique (linen over arm, pouring while holding from the bottom, label exposed to viewer, just the right amount in the glass). How was that. Did I forget to tell you what it was? Let me go look!__________________________Practicing New Skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Just poor the wine in slowly, I´ll have a look on the etiquette myself if you don´t mind, not only do I want to know the name but also if it is ¨appelation controlé¨, ¨le chateau¨ ,¨L´année¨ then smell ¨ le bouquet¨ and have a little sip before you can fill the glass.

teacher Posted June 7, 2003 Author Share Posted June 7, 2003 But of course. How about a little Turning Leaf Merlot, vintage 1999? Let me go rummage around and see what I have to offer. Forget the champagne, iI am not suppose to practice opening that. Let's see. Oh here, is a little Scuppernog. Have you tried that before? Very sweet. No, I think something a little bolder will do.__________________-Practice, practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacher Posted June 7, 2003 Author Share Posted June 7, 2003 No my dear penguin, it is not French. The Americans have been a bit funny about all things French this year. I thought perhaps you would care to sample a little of the local vintage? Scuppernog is made right here in North Carolina. Does it translate into something bad in Dutch. I do have a bottle of champagne from France but I fear my husband would notice if it was missing. He might think I have a liaison somewhere. Since I don't have anything French other than the champagne, what about a nice bottle of schwartzKatz 1993? It might be a little old now. I would have to go look to see whether it is a basic Reisling or something a little finer. _____________________Keeping up with the Penguin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 schwartzKatz,Scuppernog Sounds all very dodgy to me, is that really the stuff you drink over there ?
