Flappers the Penguin.

Meet Flappers the Penguin. Brock and myself? We're old news. Flappers is the most recent addition to our little family of ducks, scorpions, and teddy bears. Brock William Pine, being the gentleman that he is, took me to Oaks park for a lovely date to kick off the summer fun. Full of testosterone and the image of a fairy tale date straight out of a movie he was determined to win me a teddy bear off one of the rigged, money stealing, unfair carnival games. Here are the rules... 5 bucks for 3 balls. Knock down the three pins with your 1 ball you win any prize in the stand. Sounds easy huh? Except what the money lusting carny doesn't tell you is that all the pins are heavily weighted and the ball is very light. So even if you do have the coordination to hit the ball rather than missing, you have to hit it in JUST the right spot or else they'll slide, or even better yet, you'll only knock down 2 pins, or even BETTER YET... you'll hit 'em dead on, but you lack the strength to hit one of those 7,000,000 pound pins over. There goes 5 dollars you could've spent on 5 ice cream cones.
So, Brock being the determined man he is bought 3 balls-didn't win. Bought 3 more balls-didn't win. Bought 3 MORE balls-didn't win and was extremely irritated at the taunting carny. Bought his last three balls, stole a good luck kiss from his woman, and chucked the ball at the pins with tremendous force and aggression.

OH GLORIOUS DAY HE WON!

I picked out a 20 dollar penguin which we named Flappers, he felt like a man, and we both went home happy. Day well spent.
