Agent 54
here again. While I was carelessly
watching Hockey or Baseball on my TV, I noticed some Shifting Alliances that
made me curious. When I brought these
concerns up with my wife, she made me feel like I was the only one in the world
who cared or even noticed these things.
Is that true? Am I alone? Do I need psychotherapy? Let me explain before you answer these
questions or before you send the guys in the white jump suits with the big
butterfly nets and strait jackets again.

The mystery deepened
as I began to notice that The General did not treat the Penguin very well. For years The General used the Penguin for a
prop and never let him speak or fed him.
Then I saw The General driving his snazzy red Corvette without his usual
buddy the Penguin in the passenger seat.
Did anyone else notice the sounds of kicking coming from the trunk of the
Corvette? I don’t care if The General
had to clean Penguin poop from the passenger seat, locking him in the trunk was
just plain wrong and I have a good mind to call PETA on his ass.

Shaq & The General |
The next
thing you know, Shaquille O’Neal (Shaq) is riding shotgun with the General and
has speaking parts in his advertisements.
It appears that The General had thrown the Penguin under the red
Corvette. I do like Shaq because he
knows from funny but, he’s no Penguin and he should have had more respect than
to break-up the General-Penguin team.
Before you
start to cry for the Penguin, let me tell you the good news. In the most important and accurate article
The New York Times has ever published, it was announced that the Penguin had
landed a new gig as Winnie the Pooh’s new buddy and had even been given a cool
new name, “Winter”. There’s no word yet about
the question of is “Winter” going to get a speaking part in his new roll or if eventually
Pooh-bear (he is a bear, you know) will eat the penguin (a stunt penguin, of
course). Never the less, I was happy
that the Penguin landed on his happy feet and I wish him well.

we dont have General Car Insurance here...
ReplyDelete...but your comment on penguins not buying insurance made me laugh :)
As an ex insurance type person (I have a theory that you have to be an interesting person to do a boring job) that Lloyds have missed a trick on offering "global warming" insurance to animals in the north and south poles :)
LOL mind you how would they pay their insurance premiums? I suppose it could be in fish! "yes sir, that will be 36 fish and one tail including tax"
Maybe I misunderestimated the penguins.
DeleteThank you for playing.
No the New York Times is only good for lining a cage. You nailed that one.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Silly Sunday. ☺
That was an easy one.
DeleteThanks for playing and have a great week.
I tried using the NYT as a birdcage liner once and my little parakeet gnawed through the bars and flew away ..!
DeleteSorry for your loss.
DeleteI must be snoozing during commercials, I don't remember the penguin, but your questions are certainly fair. I am familiar with Shaq in the new commercials, for some reason really big people are always funny.
ReplyDeleteI guess penguins are just liked by everyone. SHow me a person who doesn't like penguins and I'll show you someone who has to clean their poop in the zoo.
Very interesting perspective. Maybe Penguins do have a chance to overtake Cats as the dominant species on Earth.
DeleteThanks for playing.
No way could the General's body be crammed fully into his helmet for punting by Shaq. No way. His foo is too bushy.
ReplyDeleteYes, his bushy foo may save his life in the end.
DeleteThanks for playing.
Agent 54- You are extremely perceptive & observant. That is why they pay you the big bucks. I also noticed the penguin's departure. I just figured he was living the good life in Tierra Del Fuego & that Shaq needed something to do. I hope everything works out for Winter. I do know that if the General makes a move to take out Shaq, he will just take him out with some Shaq Fu. After all, he is a trained sheriff. Very funny post, like usual! 😆
ReplyDeleteLOL! Shaq Fu.
DeleteThank you for your comments and support.
Heeheehee! Shaq does have some moves, and Pooh does need a new friend. Good for the penguin, landing that gig!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm sure Winter will do well if he can convince Pooh Bear to become a vegetarian.
DeleteThanks for playing.

Thank you have a nice day (y)
Thanks for visiting and commenting.
DeleteYou're Welcome (y)
DeleteObviously I have no idea what you are on about. We have a car insurance ad where a statue called Harry talks to a seagull called Stephen. An unlikely friendship since seagulls tend to crap on statues. Who writes this stuff anyway?
ReplyDeleteI should be writing it. I could get a better deal for Harry.
DeleteThanks for playing.
Doesn't only eating honey already qualify Pooh as a vegetarian? I think Winter is safe. Too bad the penguin could get a job like the gekko has. If only he had a British accent.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are right, for the penguin's sake.
DeleteThanks for playing.
I don't know of this advert, but you have addressed some very real and worrying issues here...! Your perception is clearly more acute than the average person, and although the penguin has now been transferred to the safer role as Winnie's bestie, the points you have raised still make me concerned for his well being. Please keep us informed of your findings!!

Will do.
DeleteThanks for playing.
Am I supposed to make the new G+ account it's telling me to make when I G plus this... even though I've had one there since I started five years ago...??? Onesunsamplerbook.blogspot.com /hot DT DFF lightcollective DEW ????
ReplyDeleteI have no idea.
DeleteThanks for playing.
Hello there Agent 54. We have a penguin in an advert here for British Gas. It is a very cute penguin and they are always kind to it; I suspect they fear the RSPCA changing gas supplier should they mistreat the little chap. Please don't worry about Winter. Pooh is a bear of little brain, and as such has a diet that consists only of honey. I do worry about the whereabout of Piglet though. #WeekendBlogShare
ReplyDeleteAh yes, where is little Piglet?
DeleteThanks for playing.
I had no idea penguins were so hard up for work. #FabFridayPost
ReplyDeleteIt's the Obama recovery.

DeleteIt's a tough gig for penguins these days - I bet the polar bears don't get these troubles! :D Thanks so much for sharing over at Friday Frivolity!
ReplyDeleteGlad to share. Thanks!
DeleteIs there a position in the new Trump administration for Shaq or The General or the penguin?
