A penguin was knighted!

I think we should vote this guy into x86 ASAP.

Haha, that's awesome.

[Ender]

A true gentleman, worthy of admiration. Norway is certainly a progressive and exemplary country, and Britain none the less wise to have followed in its footsteps.

[Ender]

I forgot to mention, dark_drake, my compliments on this thread. It is worthy enough to be appropriated into my Birdhouse.

And other countries think America is fucked up. This proves that politics in England are morons. I'm sure there are probably 30+ better candidates to be knighted on a favorable deed rather than an animal, a penguin. That is RETARDED beyond belief.

[Sidoh]

Awesome!  We should make him an honorary member.

Fuck you. Penguins are awesome. People are garbage. Knight the penguins!

You know what made me laugh about it? The fact that that isn't England, it's Scotland. So who's proving what?

[Joe]

They didn't even knight the right penguin.

Sorry guys, it's not April 1st. You did it wrong.

Close enough, Scotland is not far away from it. I play DotA with alot of French Canadians and Europeans and they CONSTANTLY bash the states, which makes me sure that other citizens of countries do so in the same way. The statement you made, you were indeed correcting me but, in the same sense, the statement I made can be toward other countries as well. How often do you hear Canadians speak of how fucked up the US is?

What I'm trying to get to is that there are far more serious political issues and the fact that countries overseas are fighting one another and shooting rockets around (reference to the Georgia / Russia debacle). And yes I do understand that there are times for fun and games, but knighting a penguin? Come the fuck on.

Well, the biggest complaint I hear about Americans is that they don't care about anything outside their own country, they just march happily along and think that everybody should follow them. Getting entire countries confused is a great example of that!

You say this as if knighting things isn't stupid and silly in the first place.

You do? Come play with me.  I'm Chavo on Azeroth or NotChavo on Garena.

[Blaze]

I'd stay away from those French Canadiens, they're tricky ones.
