Too bad they only live in the south pole.

You can’t see through the invisible barrier to Santa’s land where they exist. It’s like Wakanda.

Penguins don’t actually live at the South Pole. South Pole is like penguin Australia. Santa flies all the naughty penguins to the South Pole as his final stop on Christmas.

I think this man just googled “killer penguins”.

I enjoy the penguin-whale

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

I got word someone adores penguins in xmas clothes, so here you go my friend…:

 

[Fairly-Hard]

No.

So how does Santa use them to deliver messages?
Doesn't seem like a good choice anyway? They don't fly? They swim and the letter would get wet.

 

[handiman]

Ha ha! at #1, Hey! at #10

Seems like you have to be a pretty good player to be on that list...

They slide on their bellies down the hills to the lower elevation villages.

Aren't there penguins at the North Pole?

(In one of the collections, Larson wrote that he got a ton of hate mail for that one and kicked himself for getting it wrong.)

Some ugly basketball going on in Charlotte.
Charlotte has made 4 shots in the 4th quarter and missed something like 15.
After getting to within one , 116-117, the Wizards also went cold and couldn't score.
After the Wizards missed the last shot of the game it ended at 116-117 Charlotte.

In Atlanta, an AJ Griffin sighting as he gets run off the 3-point line and hits a 2-pointer.
Griffin has 22 points in this game against Denver.
Atlanta leads by 5, 108-103 with 3:17 left in the game.

edit: Denver having a hard time scoring, and securing rebounds on both ends of the court.

 

[THE HCP]

anybody watching this Bucks v Lakers game!!?? Outstanding game! AD swatted the shit out of Giannis and then he sent LeBrons shot to the 3rd row! Great game!

[THE HCP]

Dude this has a playoff game vibe!!

 

[blazerfan11]

In Boston the playoff vibe too.
With 5 seconds and down by 3, Jaylen Brown hits a very long range banker to tie the game.
Was it a prayer shot? I don't know.
I think Miami should have fouled him, which Jimmy Butler could have done since Brown took a few dribbles before making that shot.
Overtime.

 

[THE HCP]

I’m curious, is this GOOD or BAD? I always get confused.

 

[THE HCP]

 

[THE HCP]

Wow, some big numbers being put up tonight around the league.

 

[blazerfan11]

Jimmy Butler: 25 points, 15 rebounds
Jaylen Brown: 37 points, 14 rebounds

Miami wins in Boston in overtime, 120-116.
