Gift-Giving Gone Awry
 

None if it showed up on the white Barbie either, if it makes you feel better. The makeup was waxen garbage. The only way it worked was to rip off the real stuff from your mom.

Names
 

Only if the hair shirt looks good.

Come to think of it, I wonder what happened to the migrating penguins. I'll have to look.

Ho Ho Hum.
 

After a night of drinking the stuff, having no one recognize you can be a good thing.

Why did this post make me think of Silence of the Lambs?

Was this the game?
 

I was racking my brain about this. I think the game you are thinking about is called Perfection.

No wonder it was so traumatic. You almost had Perfection in your grasp, and then. . .

Edited to add: The more I think about it, this says soooo much about you.

Not "off her face"--"off her nightstand" or "out of her handbag."

But thanks for the incredibly disgusting mental image, you goon.

But this is why we all love dtb.

I'm just disappointed that not getting this game has been haunting her for the last three years, yet she got the name wrong. That's a pretty mediocre haunting if you ask me.

Ok so I found the penguin story, but alas, no update.

Circling Penguins Boggle Zookeepers

SAN FRANCISCO - A few penguins swimming leisurely at the San Francisco Zoo is nothing new. But dozens of them doing laps in unison for hours has zookeepers perplexed.

"We've lost complete control," said Jane Tollini, the zoos penguin keeper. "It's a free-for-all in here. After 18 years of doing this job, these birds are making mincemeat of me."

It all started in November when six newcomer Magellannic penguins, formerly of Sea World in Aurora, Ohio, were brought in.

The penguins start swimming in circles early in the day and rarely stop until they stagger out of the pool at dusk.

"I can't figure out how the Aurora penguins communicated and changed the minds of the other 46," Tollini said.

Some penguin experts point to the highly social animals as being open to new ideas fostered by newcomers in to the zoo's so-called Penguin Island.

"And they're very, very inquisitive. If you combine those facts and put in a new stimulus, like the six new penguins, they have to check it out."

"Genetically, they're designed to swim," Aquatic biologist Pam Schaller said. "I'd be more amazed if the six had learned to do something not in penguin nature and showed the other 46 how to do it — like if the birds were trained to jump through a hoop."

That IS funny. dtb's story of super [perfection] reminds me of the year that I asked for Simon and received Super Simon instead. The bummer of the change was that I was one of those kids who ended up playing stuff by myself b/c my sister was a lot older and I was not in a neighborhood with other kids. Everything that was better about Super Simon had to do with the ability to play head to head with other people. So the switch just left me feeling like a big loser. Merry freaking Christmas.
