wait a min.. You're supposed to send a gift even if you cant make the wedding... Wow, I am a cheap bastard..
edit You're cheap!

[–]mysticRight 15 points16 points ago

I don't know who made up that rule. I don't send gifts to weddings I don't go to. Not unless I would have sent one anyway, whether I was invited or not.

[–]HyperbolicChamber 10 points11 points ago

I pictured a little chicken saying this.

[–]AREYOUSauRuS 3 points4 points ago

[–]gistak 3 points4 points ago

I got married in Australia, but I'm from the US. I was very surprised that my mother didn't want me to invite people from her side of the family, because she thought all I wanted was presents.

No. I didn't expect a single present from people who didn't come. I just wanted to include them.

The next time the whole family was together, people were definitely resentful about not being invited. If they came out and SAID it, then I could tell them all to blame my mom, but they don't. :-(

[–]flibflabflop 3 points4 points ago

You're.

[–]mysticRight 3 points4 points ago

Also, "cheap"
Cheep is the sound a bird makes.

[–]TheFaradayConstant 3 points4 points ago

No, that's "chirp", you're thinking of the sound a stupid person makes.

[–]Awkward_wobuffet 2 points3 points ago

No that's durp. You're think of the noise of a bodily function !

[–]Desinis 1 point2 points ago

No, that's burp. You're thinking of the sound when someone drinks noisily.

Damn penguins

[–]alphaxistephie 1 point2 points ago

But I love the penguins...

[–]the_wizard_guy 0 points1 point ago

penguins arent as cool as pandas. They dont expect gifts.

[–]alphaxistephie 0 points1 point ago

and pandas are asian, white, and black. penguins are just white and black.

[–]the_wizard_guy 1 point2 points ago

exactly.

[–]xerox9000000 -1 points0 points ago

Shut up, Crump

[–]alphaxistephie 0 points1 point ago

Don't be an asshole. This is why you are on reddit instead of with a girl.

[–]xerox9000000 -1 points0 points ago

No, the reason I'm on reddit instead of with a girl is because the girl that I want to be with hasn't replied to my texts and didn't answer my call soooooo I'm on reddit trying to not miss the girl I really like whilst wondering why she hasn't replied to me. Now I'm on reddit, missing the girl I like and wondering why she isn't talking to me.

Also I wasn't being an asshole, I was referencing YuGiOh Abridged as the current Abridged Arc involves a man named Crump who is quite obsessed with penguins. Referencing a fictional character is not being an asshole. Being an asshole is calling someone an asshole then insinuating they are alone for that reason.

Being an asshole is also responding honestly, straightforward, and with every goddamn intention of being rude. Eat a dick, choke on it, downvote, and move along.

[–]alphaxistephie 0 points1 point ago

I was joking but you really aren't very nice.

[–]xerox9000000 0 points1 point ago

I usually am, just not really in a good mood lately. Given the previously stated information and a few other things has lead me to be a bit grumpy and quick to insult. I'm not fond of it but it's happening

[–]alphaxistephie 0 points1 point ago

I'm sorry.....................

[–]xerox9000000 0 points1 point ago

I sincerely appreciate your condolences and now I must apologize for my previous overreaction. I'm sorry, please forgive my brash and unnecessary retort kind sir/madam

[–]Terminatorboy25 53 points54 points ago

This is from the book "F* * * You, Penguin" Great Book BTW

You know who really sucks? It's those damn polar bears, amirite? With their fur and their Coke commercials. What is that?

Sincerely,

TotallyNotAPenguin

[–]tyfy 35 points36 points ago

If the media has taught us anything, it's that penguins try to launch hostile takeovers of freighters and polar bears make badass armor for themselves and challenge each other to deathmatches to decide who gets to be King of the Polar Bears.

Listen to the media.

Sincerely, Iorek Byrnison

[–]wayndom 5 points6 points ago

Penguins only live in the southern hemisphere. Polar bears only live in the northern hemisphere.

[–]ILL_Show_Myself_Out 4 points5 points ago

Kill the Wise One!

[–]gistak 1 point2 points ago

While that's true, I don't understand how it relates to what tyfy said.

[–]dedditor 6 points7 points ago

Upvote for His Dark Materials reference.

[–]Tactful 0 points1 point ago

That film was absolutely terrible except for one thing:

Daniel Craig. He is exactly how I imagined Lord Asriel. To a tee. I would let that man do things to me that I only let my girlfriend do on her birthday.

Also: The main actress playing Lyra, Dakota Blue-Richards, was a main character in the generation of teenage shite-fest Skins that just ended last week. I'm pretty sure with some intense googling (and modified headers for our american friends) you can find some of her dirty, dirty sex scenes.

Bonus also: I live in Bristol, where Skins is set and filmed. A friend of mine got kicked out of filming for saying something I jokingly told him to say about the Golden Compass film to her. It was something like:
"So, you were in that film with Daniel Craig and now you're here. Not exactly a Slumdog Millionaire story for you, is it?"

[–]scottperezfox -2 points-1 points ago

Ice Bears, not Polar Bears.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Panserbjørne, or armored bears, are also known as ice bears. Which makes you technically correct. The best kind of correct.

[–]scottperezfox 0 points1 point ago

Hey, that's what Lyra calls 'em so it's good enough for me. Silver tongue, after all.

[–]gordofrog -2 points-1 points ago

I thought it was a Golden Compass reference.

[–]spikebaylor 1 point2 points ago

just in case this wan't a troll, the golden compass is the first book in the "his dark materials" trilogy. some people may not know this because the movie ruined all that was great about the book, and so no sequels were made.

[–]HumerousMoniker 1 point2 points ago*

No. The golden compass is the first of the dark materials. The book is called Northern Lights. It is part of His Dark Materials trilogy. It was later made into a movie called The Golden Compass. Edit to add: and apparently was released as a book under that name in the states.

[–]cassohwary 0 points1 point ago

It was called The Golden Compass in the United States. The movie franchise didn't just make up the name.

[–]HumerousMoniker 0 points1 point ago

The Golden Compass would be a more fitting name considering the subsequent titles.

[–]cassohwary 0 points1 point ago

I know, right? Maybe it's because I grew up with it, but I think it makes more sense...

[–]HumerousMoniker 0 points1 point ago

I had northern lights. I see sense where sense exists.

[–]spikebaylor 0 points1 point ago

O.o I had to look that up, cuz "The Golden Compass" was in fact the first book I read. Apparently it was originally published as "Northern Lights" and for whatever reason he changed the name to "The Golden Compass" when it was published in the states. Good to know. The title makes more sense due to the rest of the books being named after the other 2 items.

[–]gordofrog 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, it wasn't a troll, all I knew of Golden Compass was that it had armored polar bears and the chick from Skins in it. I might have to check the books out.

[–]spikebaylor 0 points1 point ago

The books are really good. The books are fairly "tough" (to say it lightly) on the Church and so the movie was dumbed down quite a lot as not to affend.

[–]MrZed 0 points1 point ago

What we can all agree about? They were some pretty fucking amaing books.

[–]digitalpencil 0 points1 point ago

That's a book in the trilogy and it's called the northern lights

[–]dedditor 0 points1 point ago

The book series is entitled His Dark Materials. The first book is Golden Compass. I was referencing the series as a whole because the first book was not called Golden Compass in other countries than the US.

[–]JulianneW 0 points1 point ago

And that they have soul and the ability to dance, if Happy Feet is to be trusted.

[–]domkirkpatrick 9 points10 points ago

I disagree, penguins are way worse. This is my honest opinion and is not in any way altered by my species. Sincerely,

A Polar Bear Dom Kirkpatrick.

[–]TotallyNotAPenguin 10 points11 points ago

P.S. Not only do they just want presents, but they actually try to eat you if you somehow manage to show up to their wedding.

[–]THE_DRAG0NB0RN 0 points1 point ago

Sincerely, Don't look at my username

[–]nicePenguin 35 points36 points ago

Hey! I've only met nice Penguins! just like me :D

[–]Distantly_Fellated 15 points16 points ago

Penguins also don't realize how big of a douchebag they are and are always telling people they are nice.

[–]AnalExpandrCommander 4 points5 points ago

They never call after sex either. And I even call.

[–]Distantly_Fellated 0 points1 point ago

And I thank you for calling because I woke up really confused. It all made sense after you told me about the applesauce.

[–]AnalExpandrCommander 0 points1 point ago

Sorry if it hurt. Go hard or go home.

[–]K_Swag 0 points1 point ago

Well telling someone your nice is like telling someone you're sexually appealing, it takes the edge off. Most peoples' reaction is something like this: http://i.imgur.com/4CD6x.jpg

[–]Percussion4 0 points1 point ago

I'm a penguin and I consider my self to be a huge asshole. According to other people, though, I'm actually too nice. I don't believe them.

[–]BigPenguinLover 2 points3 points ago

Hey baby, what are your proportions like? TB xoxo

[–]_iWonder_ 5 points6 points ago*

[–]Fatz_z 4 points5 points ago

...and you know they're probably just putting on that whole penguin waddle thing, as soon as you're out of sight they're fuckin' Usain Boltquins.

[–]thegreekmind 3 points4 points ago

Is this from a Haggis-On-Whey World of Unbelievable Brillance book? I have Giraffes? Giraffes!

[–]darthrobyn 0 points1 point ago

I was going to ask the same thing! I have that book too, and I also have "Your disgusting head"

Best fucking coffee table books ever.

[–]accel169 3 points4 points ago

[–]TotallyNotAPenguin 13 points14 points ago

No, that's wrong. I've spent my entire life working with Penguins. I can honestly say I feel more at home with them than I do with people. They are some of the most honest and noble creatures on Earth.

[–]Wary-of-Penguins 1 point2 points ago

Maybe they are just really busy after the wedding. They might be on their way to the airport for the honeymoon. Ill givem the benefit of a doubt. Kinda rude though.

[–]PrescientPoster 0 points1 point ago

From someone that's wary of penguins, that's a very open-minded and kind perspective. I'm impressed.

[–]ableskittle 2 points3 points ago

Where can i learn more interesting penguin facts? is there some sort of text message service that i can sign up for?

[–]AngryEnt 4 points5 points ago

Ya, and those little bastards already have their own tuxedos, whereas you have to rent or buy one.

[–]-SixOClock- 1 point2 points ago

I have so many penguin friends who've done this, it's brutal.

[–]NiBuch 1 point2 points ago

I hate penguins. They take you out for a drink, but when the check comes, their wallet's always in their other pants -which they borrowed from me!

[–]HyperbolicChamber 1 point2 points ago

This whole time we thought they were socially awkward, turns out they're just assholes.

[–]HyperbolicChamber 1 point2 points ago

We should introduce a few penguins to Reddit, they'll learn to proofread.

[–]Afraid-Of-Penguins 1 point2 points ago

There are enough penguins on reddit.

[–]CammyThePenguin 0 points1 point ago

There can never be enough of us.

[–]Afraid-Of-Penguins 1 point2 points ago

They invite you to their weddings because then they don't need to spend money on food. I figured this out when they told me to rub Worchestershire sauce all over my body because it prevents frost bite.

Penguins do NOT only live in Antarctica. There are also Equatorial penguins.

[–]NyQuil012 0 points1 point ago

I've even seen penguins native to New Jersey.

[–]factory81 1 point2 points ago

My cousin is having a wedding in a place I don't want to spend the money on. Kind of like "Hey can you commit to this wedding vacation with $500 down within 2 weeks and pay the remaining $1100 in 2 easy payments? Make sure your passport is renewed."

Im like que wat.......I have an active "vacation" life and swinging a $1700 carribean trip out of this year was not planned my man! I told the travel agent to quit calling me and now I feel rude. Easter is next week too :(

[–]SoCo_cpp 1 point2 points ago

That's the least funny thing I've ever seen called funny.

[–]LilDrumrGrl -2 points-1 points ago

Wait, how about this one:

"Car tires are one of the most selfish inanimate objects on the planet. Car tires are often seen eating kit-kat bars, and even if you ask very nicely they will not share with you."

I could easily stretch this tripe into a book. Here's more:

"Many people are unaware of the car tire's leanings toward masochism and bulimia. It is not uncommon to see a tire, freshly full of air, intentionally go flat because it is afraid of being seen as fat or bloated."

More? Are you not entertained? It's the same shit.

[–]SoCo_cpp 1 point2 points ago

Still funnier than the penguins.

[–]LilDrumrGrl -2 points-1 points ago

Not by much, but thanks.

[–]NyQuil012 1 point2 points ago

Penguins don't get married. Everybody knows penguins ain't natural. They was chemically manmade like the Incredible Hulk. It's in the bible.

Is it proper etiquette to send a present even if you don't attend the wedding? I did not know this.

Not that it will make a difference to me...

If you do end up attending, just pray they aren't serving fish.
