Old School Sid
Before we get started, I wanted to make you all aware of a slight (yet significant) change I made this morning to the layout of The Show: The Archives section was getting a little long, so I threw it into a drop down menu box. Now it only takes up one line! :) The menu is located at the very end of the blogroll on the right underneath the site's stats counters.
Good Friend of The Show Narmeen A. sent in the inspiration for today's title: she took her copy of Reader's Digest Canada from October 2005 and scanned in the pages for us so we can read it! Click the scans to enlarge them for supersized views.
Friend of The Show Jordan L. sent me an email that said, "I was driving on I95 between Baltimore and Washington DC on Tuesday and saw this. It’s supposed to say 1-800-GO-PENSKE:"
Time now for a Roaming Penguin update! Sidney Penguin has taken quite a long trip for the third leg of his world tour. He left Omaha and headed to Buffalo, NY - the site of one of the bigger moments in his namesake's life:
While in Buffalo, he stopped by Friend Blankiegreen520's house:
Meanwhile, Marc-Andre Penguin has departed Nashville and landed in Dubois, Pa...
...where Friend Terri A. snapped a picture of MAP "with his major league counterpart's jersey:"
And now I leave you with TSCS's Quote of The Day:
Many, many thanks go out to Narmeen for scanning her magazine for us, to Jordan for sharing her truck photo, to Blankiegreen520 & Terri for sending in their Roaming Penguin pictures, and to Friend Jan M. for pointing out the article with today's quote.

Sweet!

"It was my first move as the coach. I knew the kid and what he'd been through since he was 13, 14 years old. It was going to be his team at some point down the road anyway, and I thought he was ready to start handling the responsibility."
~ Head Coach Michel Therrien, on his decision to name an 18-year-old Siddo as an Alternate Captain of the Pens on December 16, 2005 - just two months after the Saint's first NHL game. (If you'll recall, the move drew tons of criticism from many, including fashion plate Don Cherry.)

Thank you SO much to Narmeen for finding and scanning the article!!!!! I've been looking for that and now I can finally read it for free :)
Love the pictures of the Roaming Penguin and I will soon send in some pictures of my Sidney Penguin. Also, thanks for puting the article up!
*muah*
Love you guys! That article put a pep in my step. :)
I'm just glad to be here and trying to share the love. Have a great afternoon!
All I can muster today is a simple "Thank you."
This place is a haven from some of the stuff that goes on in Life.
Thank you for providing such a wonderful place to escape, even if for just a few moments.
Yay for that article!! I really needed a pick-me-up after dealing with the dark cloud that is hanging over our office (toxic, I tell ya). So it's good to read fun articles and see roaming penguins :)
I don't know what's funnier...that whole hockey vs. hairdressing thing (you'd never know it from his own "style") or the phrase "fashion plate Don Cherry." Whoo, I'm still laughing. Thanks Snoop (& contributors)!
I with both Su and Stephanie on this one - reading the article gave me a short escape from some things that have been going on in my life lately. It's always fun to come here and see what's been posted. Thanks guys!!
**I'll try to get some pictures of my roaming penguin as soon as I can. :)
This is a great, great post! Thank you so much to Narmeen for sharing that article - I love articles like that that really "humanize" Sidney, if that makes sense. Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing that sweet look at our young man when he was still a boy. What great parents! It's easy to see why Sidney is such a well adapted gentleman. Great post!
Thanks so much for the RD article! I enjoy every minute of it!
I find Don Cherry entertaining, but sometimes I'd rather him keep his opinions to himself.
I also enjoy seeing where all the penguins have landed. I'm still waiting for mine, but I think we have established that he probably got held up at the border.
Dubois!haha that is like 20 minutes away from where I live!(Brookville)

Great article!
And I love the truck, LOL.
1-800-GO-PENS!! Ha, ha! :P
hehe, Scruffy! So great. Big thanks for scanning the article!
This was a great article. I am with everyone else, it took my mind of a few things for a bit.
On the raoming penguin front, my Sidney Penguin will be taking a trip to the great state of Missouri next week. I will send pictures when I get back (as long as my new camera shows up at the house before I leave).
aaah I 95! i live in baltimore. :)
i MUST find that truck, haha.
Thanks for posting the article. That definitely cheered me up. I save all the ones I get in the mail. An old habit.
And I wonder if the drivers of the truck are Pens fans. Wouldn't that be ironic?
On a totally different note not related to hockey, anyone effected by the Tropical Storm Fay in FL, I wish you all luck in getting through it. My area and some others have some severe flood damage. And it is making a third turn back to Florida.
And.. 44 days my friends =]
