I just searched for "penguinized" and got nothing. Also, nothing in your post history.
Mad Dawg, I know this is a hoax because one of the YM posters sent me a PM telling me the whole thing was set up over there.
Nobody is going to get into any trouble. But if you could PM me as to who came up with the story and organized the whole thing. It seems like a lot of people are "in" on it.

<<Mad dog are you experiencing any penguinlike symptoms?>>
Not really, I still hate being cold, don't like swimming, don't like seafood, have opposable thumbs, and have never been to Antarctica. Well, it's true that I can't fly. But this eighth of Purple Hog may rectify that.

<<I just searched for "penguinized" and got nothing.>>
Sorry, I don't remember the exact wording. As for a time span, it happened shortly before Baby Cakes created this thread. Makes me wonder if some troll has software that addresses posts tailored to each individual poster. When I first saw this thread, I just thought she had received a similar post and gave it no other thought. I now wonder how many posters on this board have "received" the same post.

BTW, if you're looking up my past post history via keyword, use "rum". I hate rum and told the "pirate" so.

No "rum". And what you're describing is impossible anyway. Even so, I believe you. I'm guessing there may have been a banner ad that was using a penguin theme. Sometimes the ads look like threads.

I didn't see any weird messages, but I was out until a little over an hour ago. Looks like I missed all the "fun."

An ad that uses the same penguin J has on his avatar. People got confused. Good times.

No, it wasn't an ad. It was in the regular line up of threads, the only difference being that the skin was yellow instead of blue. My only concern is in that I have over 140 bank accounts in which I do online banking, worth well over $500K. If a hacker were to break into those (and I have an internet stalker from the MSN TV General Discussion board (Noah S. Logan/FunnyBonze/Chunky-Monkey/Panda Poo/Chick-O-Stick) making threats against me and my wife), I would be ruined.

The whole thing was a little Virgil-esque (crap, how do you spell "esque"?) Shall we burn our dear Virgil at the stake? (Well, after part 2 of the featured story, no 1001 Arabian Nights type funny stuff though )

I'm done for the night. I can't wait around any longer hoping I'll get penguinized again. Hampton, twice? Really? I'm so jealous.

That was the same message I got. Somebody else (I don't remember who now) had responded just before I did with the message of something like "Yeah! I'm the first to respond!"

The first I heard of it was when Optimist PM'd me. I haven't seen it. Nobody has given me a link to it. I can't find people's posts to it. Maybe if somebody reported it to a moderator or gave me a block of text off of it. But don't blame me if I can't do anything about it. I still maintain that this must be a banner ad combined with a bit of bigfoot syndrome. What I think people are describing is totally impossible. Plus, somebody over on YM knows something.

It's a long story I just sent you, go get a fresh tampon or Attends, depending upon your needs.
In short, Noah S Logan is FunnyBonze, Chunky-Monkey, Panda Poo, Chick-O-Stick and many more. NavyMom/Texas Rose has utterly no connection to him at all.
