No Thanks - Ive Already Got A Penguin (Need Help)
Well, I got a t-shirt for Christmas. It's a black shirt with white writing that says:
No Thanks - Ive Already Got A Penguin I love penguins...but I really dont get this shirt. Maybe Im just slow, but none of my friends get it either. Im a little wary about wearing it without knowing the joke...anyone care to help me out? |
could it be that they were leaning towards your avatar??
could they be nicknaming your personal part?? i give up :o |
does it have any logos? can you show us a pic of it?

I have no idea of the origin of this phrase, but I've heard it a ton. It was a by-product of the late 80's and early 90's teen fad of "being random" - the teens term for non-sequiter (Latin for "does not follow").
I used to do this all the time. Some stranger asks you a question (directions, the time, etc) and you answer with something that makes no sense and is only funny to you and your friends. One of the oft-used phrases was "No thanks, I already have a penguin" but I also remember "No one suspects the butterflies" and "Cheese is made from milk" and "did you even notice that grass is like...everywhere?" Stupid, yes...but good for a chuckle or two - and great fun to make them up on the fly. Yeah...I was a weird kid |

early 90's?
I'm sure most of these phrases came from the Simpsons - like "Can't sleep, clowns will eat me" |

Its from an episode where bart said he wanted to be reborn as a butterfly, because no one suspects the butterfly... And in his imagination, he is a butterfly holding a can of gas, and he framed Skinner for burning down the school. |
I've seen it a lot of places but haven't been able to find out exactly when or where it was started.
