Monty Python- Penguin on the Television

Well, sounds like Hathor/Sekhmet would like U, too! Hathor had a biiiig festival - everybody went to Her temples, got drunk and danced, and slept w/one another.

I even created a Grave Mood Rings (U saw a couple of those vids on the Hallowe’en thread) running joke - The Sphinx has taught Mrs Cawler, the housekeeper, how to dance The Hathor, so they could dance it together during the Disco Nights held at Vitchmik Hall every Tuesday. Nuthin’ quite like learning some Ancient Egyptian moves

And that’s me done.

Sek was very polite about the whole thing.
Even sending me an “are you absolutely sure?” message before pressing the launch button.

Yes, I’m absolutely sure.

Hey, whaddya know? No Penguins.
Bonus!

I think it’s a Unix thing.

Tux (mascot)

Tux is the Linux mascot. I don’t think there is a Unix mascot, although the various BSDs have this guy:

BSD Daemon

Today I learned that it’s not just FreeBSD’s mascot, and that it’s name is Beastie.

[Tammi_2.0]

Tux? TUX!? He’s not even wearing a tie!

[Abe_the_honest]

That can be arranged

[womanhood_deferred]

Even desktop environments have mascots:

[Dogbutler]

Lovely.

Well, asked Sekhmet about anonimizing my account and posted my eulogy already, so I think now is just wait for the inevitable. I did ask orenwolf but he is probably swamped with requests, so…

[NukeML]

I think my message simply said “id like to be anonymized. I am fully aware of what that means”. The end.

[politeruin]

In these last few hours before the doors are bolted i’m all like…

[Dogbutler]

[MerelyGifted]

I sent Sekhmet an anonymization request.

[Dogbutler]

It’s not just bloody sad, it’s got some kicking and screaming too.
Do not wallow, 'tis not amusing.

I need something to cheer me up.

Oh, thanks, just the ticket.

I need something to cheer me up.

All the penguins made me feel like doing this, I don’t know why but maybe someone will like it.
