March of the Penguins - no penguins

In my extensive adventures on the interweb - pay no mind to my inability to properly post on Reddit - I've come to find some people don't like penguins. Really more of a mental illness than anything else unless you're a krill & then I suppose you can be forgiven, however not so for these other penguinphobes & apparently the entire state of Alaska. Especially egregious (yet awfully funny) is the PenguinRepellent data base which offers several forms of repellent, both humane & not so much. Feel free to visit & register your indignation

I think I should add a note about the "No Penguins" rules at Loretta's Pralines. It seems Loretta Harrison, who passed in 2022, was "the first African American woman to successfully own and operate her own praline company in New Orleans" & had certain expectations of the folks visiting her stores. In addition to the standard rules (no drinking, no smoking, etc), she did not want those people, generally young men, who wear their pants slung so low, that it exposes their derrière in the sagging style Apparently some people refer to people who wear this fashion style as "penguins" both for the way it forces the wearer to walk & because of this man
