Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Amos Date: 03 May 04 - 06:36 PM I think the origin and quality of your information is suspect. You do know how easy it is to fake pencil drawings, don't you? A |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: GUEST,Pingu Date: 03 May 04 - 06:37 PM You were warned and chose not to heed. This is only the start. We will take over the World. Join us while you have time. Everything floats down here. |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 03 May 04 - 06:40 PM It figures. There we were, smacking the Pingu around heedlessly, not considering the moral implications. Then we started dismembering the little guys with that spiked club and blowing them up in the most hideous fashion. Our DOOM has now come upon us. Australia was only the beginning. |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Amos Date: 03 May 04 - 06:43 PM Thanks, Pingu. I know where you come from. I know who you really are. This foolish pretense will only lead you to the same fate that met the freds, BubbaBubba and the other alien entities dreamed up by the tortured mind of your Author...namely, total marginalization in all dimensions!!

Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Joybell Date: 03 May 04 - 11:09 PM We're safe so far. We did see strange search lights in the sky a few nights ago. Rather like the beams from the monster's eyes, come to think of it. We have a penguin suit, I kid you not! so we will be able to infiltrate the ranks if there is an army of them. Will get a message through some how. Don't worry. We've a good supply of fish. Joy |

But what can we do against a giant penguin Batman? We'll feed his dimensions into the bat computer and see what comes up. Bat click-click-click-bat-whirr-bat click-bat hummmm-bat chuck a chuck a chuck achuck - bat ripppp! Bat hmmmm! Well, what does the bat computer have to say Batman? It bat suggests that we use the bat ray at 350 degrees for every ten pounds of penguin, garnished with carrots and red potatoes with a nice bat white wine or bat zinfandel! Holy recipes Batman! Yes, quite Robin! |
Subject: Lyr Add: ANDERSON'S COAST (John Warner) From: freda underhill Date: 04 May 04 - 01:26 PM ANDERSON'S COAST John Warner
1. Now Bass Strait roars like a great mill race,
CHORUS: But Annie dear, don't wait for me.
2. We stole a vessel and all her gear,
3. We fled the lash and the chafing chain,
4. We hail no ships, though the time it drags,
5. And somewhere west Port Melbourne lies, a beautiful song to sing to the Penguins on Philip Island, Bass Strait.. |

Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: John MacKenzie Date: 04 May 04 - 03:31 PM Freda that is a lovely song, any place I can find the tune? Yes we went to see the Little Penguins on Philip Island when we were over on holiday last year, they are so cute, my SO wanted to take one home. We stayed in Ryde, and had a great Mexican food meal, and Margaritas to die for. John |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Peace Date: 04 May 04 - 03:35 PM Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die. The penguins are coming! |

Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Don Firth Date: 04 May 04 - 05:38 PM Stalwart hero steps into the path of the Great Colossus Penguin striding toward yet another city, the ground shaking with each of the monster's footsteps. Standing directly in its path, stalwart hero, in defiance, shouts the dreaded words, "Pluck you!!!" (Webbed foot the size of a circus tent mashes stalwart hero flat.) Can nothing stop this creature?

Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: freda underhill Date: 04 May 04 - 07:15 PM my building went down, i was buried in the rubble - this is the ghost of freda writing, to confound all those sceptics.. Giok, you can hear a beautiful version of that song (called Anderson's coast) on a CD by Nancy Kerr and James Fagan called Steely Water. It's also on John Warner and Margaret Walter's CD, Pithead in the Fern, which has some other great songs on it by John Warner as well, one of which i heard last night as a session at the Riverview Hotel in Balmain. It was the end of the evening, and John just played it out of the blue. we are lucky to have hime here in sydney! best wishes the ghost of fred |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Charley Noble Date: 04 May 04 - 08:38 PM Ghost of Freda- Good to hear that at least your muse survives. If only Bob Bolton could have been mobilized with his bush bandits, they would have driven the beast out beyond Sydney Heads with their concertinas, fiddles, and banjos in less time than it takes to shake a fish finger. But I suppose Bob was overwelmed in the initial onslaught before he could shift out of his tie and jacket as the Oz Energy Commission headquarters came tumbling down. So sad to have seen this happen on CNN. But what of Sandra, JennyO, JennyG, Jack Whiplash, Margaret, Chris of Canberra and the others too dear to mention? So sad, indeed! Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: JennyO Date: 05 May 04 - 10:16 AM JennyO here - just surviving. It's no wonder the penguins are revolting, after that latest penguin-bashing game! Our fortress in Earlwood is just holding out, so Jack Halyard (is that who you meant, Charley?) and I are OK. I haven't seen Bob Bolton for some time - maybe the giant penguin got him. You will find a clip of "Andersons Coast" here It is Margaret Walters' website. Click on CD's and scroll down to Pithead In The Fern, then click on the notes next to Anderson's Coast. It's John singing it. Lovely song! |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Chief Chaos Date: 05 May 04 - 01:17 PM Forget the penguins! There seems to be a plague running about the fair folk of Mudcat. That's the fourth or fifth person that has said something about sceptic. We need the antibiotics! Maybe it's because of the penguin? But he wasn't around for the UFO thread! |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: John MacKenzie Date: 05 May 04 - 01:42 PM WHY DON'T ELEPHANTS LIKE PENGUINS? BECAUSE THE CAN'T GET THE SILVER PAPER OFF. BOOM BOOM!! Penguin is the name of a UK chocolate biscuit, a bit like a double choc Tim Tam. John |

Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: JennieG Date: 06 May 04 - 03:37 AM So far (touch wood) all is well here in the wild western suburbs of Sydney. However there was something on the news the other day about the eclipse early in the morning - I don't think it was an eclipse at all, I reckon it was the giant penguin standing in front of the moon. Cheers JennieG |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 06 May 04 - 03:51 AM Some one said giant penguin? I'm coming to Oz, and I'm armed with scissors to get the wrapper off... none of that elephant or polar bear trouble for me! Just you make sure it doesn't melt in all that sun! Mind you, the idea of swimming in a chocolate lake....... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Chief Chaos Date: 06 May 04 - 03:47 PM Liz - was that swimming or skinnydipping? Just curious you understand? |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Joybell Date: 06 May 04 - 08:12 PM JennyG, He was EATING the moon. Haven't you noticed how it's got more and more bits chewed off it since the other morning. Soon it won't be there at all. Joy |

Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Shimbo Darktree Date: 07 May 04 - 05:32 AM I always thought Sydneysiders were mad ... now I know the truth! (Didn't say what the truth was, did I?) John Warner's "Anderson Coast" is a magnificent song, and about the only sane writing in this thread. I am here because I was so directed ... and I will get the one who so directed me ... are you listening, Rich-Joy? In almost total horror, Shimbo |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: JennieG Date: 07 May 04 - 07:34 AM Oh dear Joy......what will we do if Penguin eats the moon? Does that mean my feet will no longer be hairy at the full moon, becauise there will be no full moon anymore? However I won't cry if Penguin eats Darling Harbour. That place (with the exception of the Maritime Museum) is the pits. Cheers JennieG - my house is in Sydney but my heart's in the country..... |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Charley Noble Date: 07 May 04 - 08:09 AM Darling Harbour threatened! Oh, no! You mean the tall-ship James Craig will be munched up, her masts and spars spat out like so many fish bones. Jack Halyard, you can't let that happen. Assemble the Wattle Street Trogs and the Pyrmont Street Flash Girls and defend this beautifully restored bark from the Giant Penguin's bite. We may get a ballad out of this yet! Cheerily, Charley Noble, safe and sound 10,000 miles away |

Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Dave Bryant Date: 07 May 04 - 11:13 AM Chief Chaos - much as I like LTS - I think that the idea of her "skinny dipping" is an oxymoron - mind you I'd enjoy seeing her "well-rounded dipping". Why not send this penguin to Hull - I'm sure it would like whelks - it might end up curried though. |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Dave Bryant Date: 07 May 04 - 11:22 AM Is this in anyway connected with the "Penguin Long Lankin" thread. Pingu - I've always liked your published collection of English Folk songs. |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: JennyO Date: 07 May 04 - 01:20 PM Charley, I have alerted Jack Halyard to the imminent threat to the James Craig, and will see to it that an appropriate shanty is crafted that will drive the giant penguin away. If he can't do it, nobody can! |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: GUEST,Pingu Date: 07 May 04 - 01:35 PM JennyO You were right second time. Nobody can. I am just warming up. Thought I may try Queensland next.But don't go planning now, I can change my mind at the flick of a flipper. I fancy some pineapple. Heard it goes great with moon. Whelks???????? Credit me with some taste. |

Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 08 May 04 - 06:04 PM Quite right. It's an incredibly fat groundhog! It must have done the 30 days of supersized meals at McDonald's to get that figure. Still, I think it might be a worthy adversary for the Giant Penguin. |

From: GUEST,Pingu Date: 08 May 04 - 06:58 PM Penny, I have heard all about your dalliance with the Giant Armadillo, and quite frankly am devastated. My mother told me not to trust you and she was, as ever right. Please don't contact me again, as I do not want my mission to be impeded by overwrought emotions. I will send my cousin around for my vinyl. |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: GUEST,Penny Gwin Date: 08 May 04 - 08:15 PM Oh Pingu, I love it when you play hard to get! As for Mr. Ahmad Dillo how could you even suggest such a thing? You have a cousin? I'm interested. Send him over. He'll do for a warm up. As for your dear mother I believe she came regularly to our place to play FISH. My mother was keen on card playing too and they were good friends. They would have loved to have us paired off. Penny |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: GUEST,Noddy Date: 08 May 04 - 08:32 PM The truth is, it's Ahmad Dildo she's been dallying with. Shameful! I think you're entirely justified in breaking things off, Pingu. |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: GUEST,Pingu Date: 08 May 04 - 09:07 PM Penny, cut the crap and go to hell on an ice floe. You said you would be true to me. You said we could start looking at flat pack furniture together. You said I made you feel like no other. You said we had a future. You said alot didn't you Penny? Thanks Noddy, guess you've been shat on by a penguin too eh? |
Subject: RE: BS: Giant Penguin Devastates Australia!!! From: GUEST,Penny Gwin Date: 08 May 04 - 09:29 PM Noddies are Terns aren't they. Well what would a Tern know? You've heard of Tern-coat! Never could trust one. Leave no Tern unstoned 'till we get the truth I say! For everything Tern Tern Tern there is a season ... It didn't last anyway. Well maybe just a season.

The counselling is working and he feels really happy for once, so don't go messing his head up. On the other hand I have spent an eye opening evening with C. Gull, and he says he saw you strutting your stuff at the Snow Ball. There's me taking over the world, while you just lounge around being fed shrimp by all and sundry. It's over Penny.
