Whatever you guys have, I think it's contagious.

The King of Norway recently knighted Colonel Nils Olav, the commander of the King's Guard. Nils Olav is a penguin who resides at the Edinburgh, Scotland zoo.

I saw that story yesterday. I couldn't decide what was stranger ... that it was the Norwegians, or that it was a penguin. It's not like penguins are even from the same hemisphere ...

Hold on .... "resides at the Edinburgh, Scotland zoo??" Damn!! Don't they have any of their own imported penguins to knight?? They have to go looking for them in Scotland??

this story makes me think that we need some more knights around The Ministry. Perhaps we could knight a few pandaborg. definitely a llama or two. 'I hereby dub thee "Sir pPandaborg* of the Adorable Madness", OTMUS**, KHRMZP***, LH****.'

*the first "p" is silent.

****i forget what that was supposed to stand for. i'll let you know if i remember. i did have something specific in mind. i'm open to suggestion too though if you have any better ideas.

Sounds like a knight to remember.

Not so far, but if I do think of a better idea than the one you've forgotten, you will be the first to know.

Perhaps an apprentice Jedi Knight? A Pandawan?

I wish I'd thought of that.

I think that you ought to dub Sir Nate of the Scots Imperial Penguins and Bearer of Many Readers.
And you ought to bestow a Dukedom or two on your consort, so he doesn't feel left out.

zelda_pinwheel · 08-17-2008, 07:28 PM

technically, i did already dub Nate "Sir Penguin of Edinburgh" but i like your suggestion better. i think we should amend his Ministry title to reflect that.

i hadn't even thought of Dukedoms. degrees of nobility are so complex.

you wouldn't happen to know what "LH" could stand for ? ("Llama Hugger" ? could that be what i had in mind ?)

slayda · 08-17-2008, 07:32 PM

Texas is big enough for at least one dukedom, or dumb duke, or whatever.

*LOL*

This can't be true.. Isn't the king at the Olympics in Beijng now?

Update: It can't be true. I was looking at the Norwegian Royal families itinerary and the 14. august they had a press conference in Beijing. Their stay and activities in beijing is located here (norwegian site)

Update 2: auch.. I did some more checking out. Apparantly, the kings "soldiers" (don't know what to call them) are in edinburgh.. They even have written a diary on their website about the trip (though no penguin mentioned yet).

Well, I have to give them points for humour...

Now, tell me. How do I get one? Being an actual norwegian, living in the norwegian country. I should be able to beat a lousy penguin any day !
