Penguin Mail
18So we (I) got a package from @placidpenguin. After a mild concern for what we might find within, we decided to open it.
I made sure to open it in the lunch room surrounded by as many people as possible, in case it was something that would hurt me. (I don’t want to go alone.)
Inside was what I have decided to call a “Packet of Pen-guano”. Kinda like when a penguin feeds it’s young by regurgitation, but the contents were crap, instead of fish.
Turns out it’s almost all stuff I can use though. I’m willing to take suggestions, if anyone has a good idea for how I should use any or all of the items. The only thing already claimed is the dog costume, which is being put to good use.

I see an O’Lucky Beers Glass - that’s a design by @marcee.
@Thumperchick
I was trying to look for this box because I wanted to bubble wrap that mug.
After opening 2 out of 7 similar looking boxes in my closet though, I gave up.
@PlacidPenguin Genuine product from Sealed Air Corporation or not, resulting in meh sending a C&D to you?
(That is, cathair & dander.)
@narfcake
Genuine product.
@PlacidPenguin No cathair for you, then!
What is wrong with these photos? Took ages to even get the rectangular outline and now, nearly 1 min later still no images. When I tried opening them in a new tab I got nothing except finally an error message that the page could not be opened. Maybe please upload something that loads easily and quickly?
OK so finally words some up but still no pic
@Kidsandliz I think you might have some computer problems
@therealjrn No because photos on other threads load quickly. I went and checked. My guess is that they are high resolution and so on fast internet they are fine. Mine is not fast. They finally showed up but it took about 12 minutes.
@Kidsandliz Whatever. They load fine here.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@therealjrn But how fast is your speed? I think that is likely the key question. And eventually they did load for me, it just took a long time.
@Kidsandliz Pretty fast…we have hot and cold running water too. And indoor toilets.
@therealjrn
But no electricity? (smirk)
That dog costume is hilarious!
@therealjrn That is my doggy Ponyo
@cardiganb Ponyo is a cutie!
@therealjrn Oh, the ignominy!
@phendrick Ponyo looks like he’s having fun!
@Supportathan
Totally off topic:
Do you have a cat controlling your life?

@PlacidPenguin I do not. I am very much a dog person. Mine just isn’t small enough to fit in that costume.
Meet Zorro, the 100+ lb lab. (We think he has some great dane in him. He’s massive.)
@PlacidPenguin @Supportathan oh, those eyes. He’s a looker!
@narfcake
So THAT’S what you do when you leave your house.
@Supportathan 100+ pounds … is he a lap dog?
My (late) doggie was one. She’s an English Mastiff.
@PlacidPenguin Uh, no.
@narfcake @PlacidPenguin He absolutely is a lap dog.
Nice stuff! And nice doggies!
