Volume XXXVII	By Edgar T. Penguin	August 2003

Baseball Season Underway Last month saw two baseball games between our three resident teams "The Pigs", "The Bears", and "The Stars". The first game pitted "The Bears" against "The Stars". "The Stars" saw a decisive victory of 22 to 7, "The Bears" only points being scored in the first three innings. "The Stars" went on to play "The Pigs", leaving "The Pigs" with a surprising victory of 15 - 8. Many speculate that the loss was caused by "The Stars" coach Clownie's bad health. Next month "The Pigs" will go on to play "The Bears". Hope to see everyone there! Poll: Is The New Blacktop Good or Bad? Opinions on the newly blacktopped parking lot were so varied that it was decided a poll would show the house's true opinion. Good - 44% Bad - 56% As you can see it was very close! Several thought it looked better, but didn't like the smell, while many complained of the heat it generates. The Penguin Post would like to thank all who participated in this survey! Word Game By Easter See how many words you can make out of the following words: Sandwitch Coalition Cantankerous Individuality	Keeping Cool Pigelty, Doggie, Oinkers, Edgar, Moos, and Booy. Picture by Oinkers Exploding Air Conditioner Causes Drastic Measures Last month, late one Sunday night, the air conditioner exploded, spraying water and foam everywhere and causing everyone to be uncomfortable for several days. Oinkers, who saw the whole thing happen, had this to say, "It was horrible! It began poring water down the wall and shooting out white foam. Luckily Charlie woke up and turned it off before anyone was injured,". After that there was no air conditioning for several days, causing many to take drastic measures to stay cool. "I found that sitting in a bucket of ice worked very well," says Doggie. Clownie said that sitting in the refrigerator was also a popular method. Luckily, the air conditioner has been replaced, and once again everyone is cool! Baseball Statistics Here are the Baseball statistics so far: The Stars - 4 wins The Pigs - 2 wins The Bears - 1 wins So far as you can see it looks like the tournament belongs to the stars - again!	Fourth of July a Success The Fourth of July was a very hot day, but even with the heat and changes in plans it went well. To begin with Oinkers had to cancel his pagent plans due to time constraints, "He could have done it anyway," says Annie. "He's just to picky and wanted it perfect." The annual Bar-b-que was held, with Doggie presiding as head cook. Hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw and watermelon were on the menu. After dinner Booy headed the fireworks display, assisted by Edgar and Moos. There was only one slight mishap, resulting in Booy becoming slightly singed. Otherwise it was a perfect display. New Blacktop Last month we were all awakened to a great deal of noise, construction men blacktopping our parking lot. It took two weeks for the job to be completed, and it is now finished. There are mixed feelings in the house as to whether this is an improvement or not. "I think it looks nicer than the gravel," says Rainbow. Another opinion expressed by Pigelty-Wigelty, "I don't like it! The sun heats it up too much and it burns my little feet! I liked the cement porch we had better!" Either way, the new black top is here to stay.
