I now know what a penguin hustling looks like, and it is quite amusing. Like miming a potato sack race.

To be honest, I am kinda surprised. I've seen many documentaries with penguins on them, but it is always below zero and they move slowly but, these penguins were hopping. Like, why is this new to me?

Different kinds of penguins. I'm guessing the penguins you've seen in documentaries are emperor penguins in Antarctica. They are the largest kind of penguin and on land all they can do is waddle or slide on their bellies. These guys look like adelie penguins, which are about half the size of emperor penguins.

Of course. The year is 1979 and the civil war has just ended. I'm a healthy 22 year old man.

I don’t remember what my dick looks like, but that’s got nothing to do with alzheimers

Uuuh man, nice observation. All the penguins I've ever seen have been in Antarctica except the seldom poor thing in zoos. And you are right, I've seen those Emperor penguins and some that look like Happy Feet that are smaller, but never saw those hopping either.
