Waddle Waddle: The History of My Club Penguin

What came first? The penguin or the egg? That is the question.

Many of us have all had our own Club Penguin experiences. We’ve all spent countless hours slaving our way through the Pizza Parlor. Memories of trying to tip the iceberg are still roaming the back of our minds. However you spent your days, this game has left a lasting impression on your life.

It all started one day when my brother, Shaymus, and I were playing some random game on our favourite website, Miniclip.com. We were looking for a new direction in life. Dazed and confused in this lost world, we decided to try something new. At the time, we were nine and five. We saw this ad for a new game, Club Penguin. At first I thought it sounded stupid but Shaymus got this little twinkle in his eye that I still can’t describe. He looked up at me and I knew I had to click it. And so I did.

Coming up with usernames can be a struggle. It isn’t however, for my family. When in doubt, pick “Shaymus” and ninety-nine percent of the time it won’t be taken. We took the easy route for our name and chose that. We started off being a red penguin but we quickly realized that nobody liked red penguins and changed it to green.

Club Penguin took our lives by storm. We would spend hours upon hours doing everything we could. We became the Sled-Hill king; beating everybody that challenged us. We would spray people down with snowballs and take siege of the Snow Forts. Then there were the quiet times working as a waiter at the Pizza Parlor or maybe even playing piano for the customers.

My first time meeting Rockhopper was a day to remember. Days before his arrival we stood on top on the lighthouse and looked over into the water and saw this large boat floating towards us. When he docked, we jumped aboard his ship. He gave us some loot; a pair of boots, a shirt and a whole lot of coins.

Time flew by.

    Penguin Creation Myth

    In the beginning, before the age of mankind, birds were the favorite species of the gods. All birds lived in a vast plain with lush trees as tall as sky scrapers. Grass, green and fresh, spread as far as the eye could see. The great gods adored these winged creatures more than any other creation. One group of birds they especially admired: The Penguins. Their intelligence, distinct colors, and general gracefulness of their nature intrigued the gods. However, the penguins were also known for their cunning acts of foolery. For instance, whenever a god came close to talk to a penguin, or simply to admire a penguin, the mischievous bird would immediately fly away to another part of the world. This made the gods feel foolish and frustrated, creating anger. One way the gods tried getting close to the penguins was by distracting them with shiny pieces of jewelry and metal, because the gods knew that penguins were fascinated by things that were glittery and bejeweled. On some occasions, the penguins would brazenly fly away and hide for a long time, whether it were for days, weeks, months, or even years!…

    A. Main Point #1: First, you need to think about how the name sounds when hearing it aloud. i. Sub-point sentence: In order to avoid any questions, when deciding on a name, think about your child’s point of view and imagine how he or she will have to live with it throughout their life.  Supporting material: Laura Wattenberg, a writer, researcher, and software designer, wrote in her 2013 book, The Baby Name Wizard, “we may see baby naming as an opportunity for personal expression. Use whatever criteria you like to narrow your name choices, but give the name this final test: if you were starting life today, knowing everything you know about this world, is this the name you would want to represent you?”…

    Selfishness, jealousy, envy and greed. These are the images portrayed by the characters of 'The Club'. In essence, they are driven by self-interest, willing to compromise personal and institutional integrity for personal greed and gain. All six characters demonstrate this in one way or another - from the obvious egocentricity of Jock and Gerry to the seemingly loyal and unfaltering Laurie: firstly in his previous ploy to eventually oust Jock and then…

    It was a hot, summer day when I first taught my younger brother to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We were in my kitchen at my house in Lexington, and we were both hungry. However, Bailey did not know how to make any food and our parents were sleeping in the living room, tired from playing with us outside, and we did not know what to do. I had a goofy smile spread across my face and my whole body was shaking from excitement, and I had a feeling that we would most likely make a big mess and get into trouble. Yet, I did not care if we got into trouble because I was being the most helpful big brother in the world, with Bailey beside me, wanting to learn how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.…

    Even though I wasn’t your typical toddler, how could I have been so stupid? I may have been an utterly curious rug rat, maybe even more. However, once an idea popped up in my pint size brain it stayed there….Until I tried it. Most things weren't terrible. They were just average ideas that most toddlers think of. Just like they say in the commercials, “Kids discover the world with their mouths.” Another example of this is like biting the table because its looks like a humongous cookie. In most cases this was true. In my case, it was a little more extreme.…

    It all started with this very simple question, “Do you want to move to Florida?” When my mom had asked that, we had just came back from our spring break vacation in Florida. We lived in Kentucky and my siblings and I went to St. Albert, I was in fifth grade. Of course when my mom said that my whole family thought it was a joke, so we all had said sure to the idea. About a week later, I forgot about the question, so after school one day my parents had told me and my siblings they had a surprise for us. Little did I know that we were actually moving to Florida.…
