    So here is the prize I won for the avatar contest. Just want to share it with you and THANK YOU Jack 06. That was a nice surprise.
    With prizes like this let's just hope Jack 06 sticks around until the end of '06 and run the contest again :)

    So will your new avatar have one penguin push the other out of the car? Or will one penguin trip over the toy car while the other penguin laughs?

    My GF loves Penquins and I could not wait to show her your avatar the first time I saw it. Here are some penguins for you:

    will have to see how they react to the car when they see it, perhaps then can both fit in. I haven't showed them the car yet.

    How big is it? I have one that's about 2.75 inches long, but does not have the Japanese writing on it. I got it on eBay. But I know they also make bigger ones.

    My Japanese is a little rusty, but I think I can make it out. It seems to be poetic in nature.
