Yay! My Penguin is HOME!

As soon as I opened the library this morning, I had to go search for the call number that Thief O'Penguins sent me.
W M1 70M5 492 001 (well, really WM170 M549 2001) turned out to be The mental health consequences of torture (Gerrity, Ellen T. ).
Inside was a note instructing me that Eduardo no longer answers to the name "Graham" and that he was "chillin" near his "dreary" old home in my cubicle. (This kidnapper seems to care so much about Graham's wellbeing and what conditions I kept him in, yet the whole torture thing was apparently good for him. Weird.) I looked in the hall freezer first but he wasn't there. Heart in my mouth, I turned to my last resort: the kitchenette fridge. Behold! A box!

The outside said "help meee...so cold... brrrr!" but I know the kidnapper was just trying to make me feel guilty because penguins don't get cold anywhere! Well, MAYbe they get kinda cold in the Antarctic, but even there they thrive, so I doubt our fridge could make Eduardo uncomfortable. But that's neither here nor there.

I opened the box and there he was! My baby! Graham- I mean Eduard0! He's home!

He even came back with a bottle of Penguin Beer and a full prescription for Prozac. I guess the good Dr. Judith Nuthouse diagnosed his depression and started treating him.

I emailed Thief O' Penguins right away:

Yay!

Graham- er, EDUARDO is HOME!

I'll never neglect my penguin again; I promise. I should not be thanking you, since you kidnapped him, but I am grateful for the fact that you brought him out of his depression with the Penguin Prozac and let him have a little adventure as a Freedom Fighter.

Eduardo is napping right now (he was rather tired after this big adventure) but I'm sure once he wakes up he'll have lots of stories to tell.

Thank you for not scarring him too deeply.

As for the identity of Thief O'Penguins, I'm quite certain of who it is. But I don't know whether she had any co-conspirators. I don't know whether I ought to reveal her name. Let's just say I never realized this person liked penguins so much... she'd throw Eduardo under a train to save a cat any day!

Well, now that the penguin saga has come to a close, I plan to maintain this blog as a place to write about whatever else is going on. I guess it might be kind of slow, since I have no real life. So check back next week to see if I've kept my word and have actually written any new posts.

Til then, have a great weekend!
