Looks like a penguin!

Brother Jim & sister-in-law Jan had us in the grab bag, and gave us this lovely vibrating massager, shaped like a penguin! With hot or cold gel pack! And he looks very nice on top of the TV when not in use. I think we will like this gift

As long as it isn't time for the penguin on top of your television to explode.

Hee hee -- the ones on the living room TV haven't exploded yet, and they've been there for a good while! So I think we're safe. We have 5 of the Happy Feet set -- & had to eat a heckuva lot of cereal last year to get 'em too!

We have 3 Memphises, a Gloria, & a Lovelace. No Mumbles or Amigos, but my colleague Jane has the Amigos on her desk at work.

For some reason (well, OK I know why!) immediately reminded me of Beakman's World.

I have FOUR penguins on the telly right now, along with a few on the tree, several on ledges, and a large stuffed Opus in my room.

I rather like penguins.

Remember, that if you have multiple stuffed penguins inspired by Berke Breathed, that the proper term is...
