    Don't scorn a gentle person; often still water breaks at the shore.

    Mating season behavior. Give them some privacy.

    That was ages ago and as shown below there are now a dozen of them, half of which are in the pairing position. So far nothing has come of it. I am guessing ascii penguins are sterile or perhaps they haven't figured out how to do 'it'. Have yet to see any ascii eggs laid nevermind hatch. Obviously privacy hasn't worked.

    Дуже груви,

    That's about as simple as I can make them. However it changes nothing and will totally screw up the 16 penguin matrix length-wise for quoting, and nobody wants that.

    Life is good,

    Hey Carol!

    Ok! At least we saw one! Thanks!

    You got it. Let's call it a collectors item.

    Life is good,
    Maurice
