I have these daft ideas.....

[Weaver]

At least you lost to a big one...I was offered the opportunity to pick up a small penguin (Rockhopper or Humboldt) in of all places Hawaii. Bloody thing nearly took my thumb off...then my friends daughter picked it up, cuddled it and said "did the nasty man hurt you then"   

Don't you just hate it when women do that? 

Another expression of the game of "Wrong!"......

Yea...and she was 7 at the time. They learn quick  The other version of "Wrong" is "Well if you don't know what you've done I'm not telling you"

The "trainers" (there's a joke if you've ever seen "trained" penguins) said it was very friendly and I must have taken it by suprise  

Penguins are evil.

Simple really.

 Penguins, like Comrade Radish backlit on the crest of the hill at sunset, are magnificent. Especially
underwater.* ( really-seeing them swimming is a revelation. )









* Radish may or may not be magnificent underwater. Our correspondants have no data on this point.

I am lethal above water, floundering in it.....

Got to agree there, Penguins swimming under water not Radish, they are almost balletic in a 1,000 miles an hour way

Back in November/December 2000 I was "Santa" at a local garden centre, and on the odd moment when I wasn't entertaining/ warping young minds, I made some notes on the back of some Santa "info" slips.

Such as:

Twin F-16s with the wing moved aft, canards, etc...
Lots of other silly ideas too......I must make a few of them!!

You may want to look at some of the white metal gaming figures if you decide to work on a smaller scale.  As I understand it from one of the members in my local IPMS club, there is a game called something like "Critter Commandos".  All sort of insanity which I will not mention because it may actually bore some of our more eccentric members because that is their reality.  This member has presented in the past: Battle Cattle, Gorilla Guerillas, Battling Snowmen, and is currently working on "Hairballs" (don't ask if you value what is left of your sanity).

Yeah, but penguins are smart too:

Yeah, well you until those Orca flip the boat over.  They get Penguin appetiser followed by human main course.  No survivors, who's ever going to know, hey?   

[Gary]

Oh they had nothing to worry about, those were the relatively unknown Celery Orca. You can tell by the green bits in their teeth.
Now if there had been a salad in the boat... well baby, no one would have stood a chance.

Why have I got a picture in my minds eye of that Penguin being taken back to the cruise ship, covered in chocolate and served as desert

there is an answer for that but it's unprintable here...

Meanwhile other daftness that has crossed my mind....

Meercat MC.205 in full Croatian markings from the 3rd Meerkat Squadron, in Winter finish....with groundcrew of course. Simples.....this is currently "in build".

An "Easy Jet" DC-3....confuse the passengers, eh?

Various monoplane conversions based on the Walrus

[NARSES2]

I know I probably don't want to hear the answer, but what are Meerkats doing in Croatia ?? Apart from flying for the Croatian AF of course
