"He exists, he exists" yelled Colin as he ran up to the Penguin Queen, all excited and breathless. "Who exists?", she asked, a little nervous over where the conversation might be proceeding.

"The Easter Bunny ...I met him!"

"Colin, if you've been seeing rabbits, maybe you should stop drinking in the afternoon".

Over in the ‘banning’ thread, Ockie chastised me for not posting a pic of Colin eating ice cream. So for Ockie, here’s a pic taken juuuuust after Colin was given the cone. It took at least 15 minutes to order, as Colin kept changing his mind. “I want a cup. No a cone. No, wait, make it a waffle cone. And I want mint chocolate chip. Whaddya mean you’re out of mint chocolate chip? How can you be out of mint chocolate chip? Do you have Very Bear-y? You do? Well I don’t want that. I want mint chocolate chip, or I’m gonna pout. Oh, you have French vanilla almond toffee ripple? I’ll have that then. With a cherry on top”. And so it went. It was a foregone conclusion that Colin would dive right in, face first, to devour the creamy treat so a picture had to be taken quickly. An “after” picture may be posted at some point…..

Antarctican... if only I had a smiggin of your creativity and humor... Well... I would be funnier than I am now (I was trying to think of something much more meaningful, but alas... I'm not very creative).

Although Colin was initially

, it was explained to him that mint chocolate chip is so popular it was sold out. He was

after that, until he heard you wanted to take him back. Then he was

. The Penguin Queen stroked his fur and calmed him down until he was

once again. And he asked for this message to be passed on to you:

The Penguin Queen noticed that Colin had been acting strangely of late. She initially thought it was just spring fever hitting, but then she began to notice a pattern to his behaviour. He would beg her to let him go to the store, then he would be gone for hours, and he would never return her change, if indeed he even brought home what he had been sent to purchase. He was even observed to check the cushions of the couch and chairs, to look for loose coins. “Whatever can he be doing?”, she wondered. So she decided to follow him the next time he went out, merely to make sure he wasn’t getting into trouble or hanging out with the wrong crowd. Imagine her shock when she found him…..

gambling!

What to do, what to do? Plan an intervention? Send him packing to a rehab centre? Lecture him on the evils of gambling? Cut off his allowance? All of these? Oh, the shock of it all. I’m feeling verklempt. Talk among yourselves……
