Here is the greasy frying pan sitting on top of the greasy stove. Go ahead and look at that stove top. Looks like she took a wet sponge and smeared the grease all around to get on the next dishes that are supposed to be washed. Oy vey!
I can’t believe it. We’ve been in this thread now for what, five years? I remember you posting pics like that and me sympathizing about our penguin fearing the ‘sloshy box’ under the counter, so terrified of it she refused to admit it existed. I promise you John, better days will come. There will be a time when the penguin is no longer able to leave the primary habitat, and your anger will fade. The feelings will dissapate. You’ll be able to let go of the anger and replace it with calm, peace and understanding. I speak from experience. Until then, hang in there!! Patrick

We have a glass top gas 5 burner stove and that smeer drives me nuts. Nearly everyday I'll pull all the grates and polish that to a streak free shine. Dont care about what others think if it was to be seen , Just makes me twitch.
Good morning fellow penguin haters. First I must tend to the thread. Patrick, yes this thread has gone on forever. It is actually on its seventh year. I went and looked and it started January 17, 2016. Holy mackerel! And I love that word you came up with years ago. The sloshy box!!! Yes, I truly believe my penguins are scared to death of that thing. Fred, what are the chances of finding a penguin license plate. That is too funny! Good eyes sir! Steve Up North, you said it 100%! I love my stove top, countertops, and wooden floors to shine nicer than the fresh wax job on my Buicks. Right now there is a smear on the countertop that has been there for over a week. That drives me up the wall, but I put myself outside for a reason. I am not cleaning up anything inside the kitchen. That’s my wife’s problem.
Hey, we have those same counter tops in our kitchen! I gave up on our glass top, on the stove. I'll wipe it off with a sponge, dry it, then hit it with Windex and a paper towel. If it's not streak free at that point, it's going to stay that way! BTW John, those brownies look good, but I bet there's crumbs all around that pan....
Dang, talk about rejected and dejected. Little penguin and female penguin were out for a while. Can you believe they came back with Kentucky fried chicken, but just enough for themselves. I understand the male penguin does not eat chicken, but I sure as hell do. That was just so rude! As gross as it sounds, my wife loves the McDonald’s big breakfast with pancakes. I think I’m going to McDonald’s tomorrow morning and buy one of them. Then I’m going to come home and eat it in front of her. I just want to say she is a B that ends with an H!
Good evening penguin fans, that was Alfred Hitchcock. Dang I am old! I’ll disappoint you all right at the beginning. No I did not go to McDonald’s and buy a big breakfast this morning and eat it in front of my wife. I was too lazy. I walked out to my garage/kitchenette and had two giant bowls of Apple Jacks. They were delicious. I did ignore the little penguin this morning which was fun. I started talking to her around noon time. It was a pretty good crazy day at my place. I was cleaning up the garage getting ready for next weeks Buick get together. My youngest son came over with my latest grand daughter. She’s three months old now. She’s pretty cute but let’s face it, they eat, burp, and go back to sleep. My older son and grandson came over shortly after that. I took a bicycle ride around the lake with my grandson, and then he helped me finish cleaning my garage. Before dinner it was a bit stressful to me. The female penguin was making cheesecake. Even my grandson remarked when we were back outside, she’s probably making a mess all over the floor! Everybody knows about her. A couple hours later I went in the kitchen and she was making meatloaf for dinner. I’m sure that made more mess. On one of my excursions through the kitchen I did notice that the smear that was on the kitchen counter for the last week had been erased and a new one had been put down. So my grandson and I go in to eat dinner. The female penguin is telling the male penguin, the salt is right there if you want salt. I can’t hardly talk to my phone right now because I’m laughing out loud!!! The male penguin is trying to put salt on his meatloaf. All of a sudden I realize that the only salt I left in the house was the busted salt shaker. It’s got a giant hole in the top, and he poured a ton of salt all over his food. I am dying laughing! Just seeing him doing that I realized that I had taken the salt and pepper shakers, the good ones, out to my garage/kitchenette. Dang I’m terrible! Somebody had a very salty meal! That’s about it for today. I’m going to lay low and find something to do. I told my youngest son I would be over in the morning to help him put bumpers on his newly painted 69GS. And then the rest of the day will be beer, barbecue, and NASCAR.
I and my family are in New Orleans right now; Mardi Gras is Tuesday. We got in last nigh, ‘made’ groceries this morning, had King Cake for breakfast. Met an ild friend for parades today and will do more tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday. You (and anyone else!) should do Mardi Gras at least once. Patrick
Groundhog Day… I love the movie and I could watch it over and over, but in real life it starts to get old fast! Every single morning I hear the female penguin in the house hacking and hacking. It flat out disgusts me! She used to blame it on her allergies, on my Christmas tree still standing in the living room, on her allergy to her son-in-law, and it never happens any other time except down here. What a LIAR!!! I can’t tell you how many family VHS tapes I have converted to DVDs, and she was hacking in them. I have literally seen and heard her on family videos hacking in Idaho, Montana, Glacier National Park, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and any other place in the morning. She used to always say it only happens when she was down here. Wrong!
My new AC systems work excellent… as previously reported on this thread I got two new air conditioning systems installed in my house a few weeks ago. Boy do they blow good! Last night I walked in the house to get something. My wife is dressed in a T-shirt and shorts watching TV. Both of the older penguins had on long pants, and a T-shirt, but the female hacker had on a sweater. Slow Dick was wearing a light jacket. I dam near busted out laughing!!! Both of the thermostats are set at 74°. Geez, if they don’t like that they can go back home to their apartment where the heat is probably set at 68°. Cry your eyes out penguins!
As much as it would pain you, I would not lift a finger in that kitchen until the penguins are gone in a few weeks (months?). Then you can do a fun "archeological dig" with the little penguin when cleaning. The green bean by the cabinet kick panel, circa February 19th when she served green beans and some fell of the spoon when she was dishing up. The ketchup drip on the front of the silverware drawer? February 22nd when Slow Dick got "the shakes" when trying to put ketchup on his greasy burger. The sticky orange spot under the front of the fridge? Vintage February 25th when the penguin shook the orange juice and the lid wasn't on tight and the wash rag didn't quite reach (or she couldn't reach) 2" under the front of the fridge, out of sight out of mind! The red spatter on the back of the stove? Dated to approximately 2/25/23 when the spaghetti sauce went from a simmer to a boil and splattered. Just think of all the fun discoveries you can make in your own kitchen after they leave!
Dear Iowacat, I am strongly following your directions!!! Before they got here I told my wife, I am not cooking anything, or cleaning anything in the house! I have a kitchenette in my garage now. My own coffee pot, microwave, and 3 AM snacks. NOBODY will be able to say I made that mess!!! 12 more days!!!!!!
I up in my attic finding some much needed parts for my son’s car. I could hear the evil witch doing her morning hacking down below in the living room. GROSS!!! Then I went in the house to see if my wife was up yet. I could hear the evil witch hacking in the bathroom. I wonder if that creates Hershey squirts?
