FP edit: I don't have any delusions that this is for me. I know who the handsome one is in this picture!
Plastic pollution is a major problem in the world's oceans. I urge anyone reading this to pay attention to overuse of single-use plastics. Bring reusable bags to the store. Don't use plastic lids or straws on your drinks. Keep reusable bottles around so you don't have to pay for bottled water. #strawssuck #bottledwaterisascam #balloonsblow #sustainableseafood

The Atheists of Utah coffee chats at Mestizos?
originalWFHhipster

Upvote for plastic awareness and penguin and handsome guy! Merry Christmas!
ZeusHairyButt
Did you ask the penguin for permission before posting?
GodSaysNo
are you telling me that the penguin wasnt the one telling us to be aware of plastic pollution with his pet human in the picture?
NZSheeps
OP IS the penguin
imakeeper
I did not, but he is rarely on imgur so he probably won't find out.
DrPepper523
Ha, you're a keeper! Both at an aquarium and as boyfriend material!
ZeusHairyButt
Aight, just checking
Kjuhaszzlenozzle
Are you Hugh Jackman?
TheCrazySucculentLady
I need to work at an aquarium. Where are you so I may get a job and have a penguino!!
PlanckEraWasMyBestEra
He's at the Living Planet Aquarium in Salt Lake City. It's amazing, but hard to get a job there.
ColTealeaf
I second this! I wanna help teach kids about the oceans and ecosystems! With added bonus of hanging with a penguin!!!
TheCrazySucculentLady
I'm going to school for Marine Biology so I need to end up here or it's been a waste of time
ColTealeaf
I’m going to go back for a Marine Bio degree, good luck with it!!!!
AlwaysBeenWeird
Cute. And yes, bottled water is bullshit. Merry Christmas!

PlanckEraWasMyBestEra
I thought that too! We just did the penguin encounter there a few months ago! I would have remembered seeing you though.
robotkabob
It's a really great exhibit, awesome to see the penguins rocketing around underwater like little torpedoes!
Pawmeastiffone
Thank you @OP for posting about single use plastics! More people need to be made aware.

Merry Christmas from another Aquarium - sans penguins, but with otters. #sustainableseafood #balloonsblow
imakeeper
Ooh, I'm adding those tags! Thanks!
teacupsquid
Of course!
Chawzilla
Fuck. I need a penguin.
PlumpyPenguin
Me too please
imakeeper
Nah, they are super smelly.
Magster2004
As a single woman, how you doing?
Chawzilla
So are my kids. I can probably adapt. Plus, I need an excuse to build a refrigerated room in my house.
encyclopediabritannica
That's why there is wine. Or beer. Whatever your fancy.
Chawzilla
I accept your explanation of penguins being responsible for alcoholic beverages as highly plausible.
illbethere
Penguin fridge... And beet

*Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

Fuck it, I'll throw some beets in there, too. Y'know, for color.

imakeeper
Nope. Utah.
baconandplagues
Damn looks a lot like the penguin enclosure in Newport. Either way. Merry Christmas. Prost!
imakeeper
There are only so many way to build a penguin enclosure, I guess! Cheers!
forreallyandfortrue
I KNEW IT I belong to that aquarium. Is that this year's chick?
imakeeper
Nope. He's a couple years old now.

Thanks for sharing this! I miss the penguin webcam, it was a great way to tune in, zone out & forget my people troubles.
