Weekly Penguin

Weekly Penguin 639

Schedule change! This week was originally booked to feature a penguin-themed tribute to the video game equivalent for the second coming – i.e. DOOM Eternal – but since that got delayed until next year, so is the unveiling of that tribute.

Instead, let's continue with interesting things discovered whilst taking inventory of my family belongings. This here penguin is a straw mug – the top comes off and seals the mug nicely, whilst the red beret rotates, revealing a hole for the straw. Though you can't see it from this angle, there's a sturdy handle on the back.

As you can see from the wear-and-tear, this mug is one my oldest penguins. While these kinds of mugs are designed for very young children, I recall finding this superbly useful when laying in bed due to a flu, trying to get some fluids in with hands shaking from fewer. Though I don't throw my penguins away, I was regardless surprised to see that I still had this. Now it sits in the same line as all my coffee cups – it has earned the place.
