Col. Penguin Inspects Norwegian Troops
Military Promotes 'Nils Olav'
POSTED: 10:08 am EDT August 18, 2005
UPDATED: 10:14 am EDT August 18, 2005


"Nils Olav" inspected his troops Wednesday in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Ever since Norwegian military groups began performing at the military tattoo in Edinburgh in 1961, they were taken with the penguins at the local zoo.

In 1971, they gave a penguin the honorary title of lance corporal.

The tradition has continued through the years. This year, Nils Olav was promoted to colonel-in-chief.

If the military had more traditions like this one, I'd be more than happy to join!

Thanks to Cemetery Guy for this one!

Grizzley Bear Drill Sergents don't call you magot when you fail to meet their expectations, they disembowel you with a heafty swipe.

but, any insult they do throw your way will be somewhat uninterperateble... granted.

what exactly is the term for someone who is taken with a penguin and pretends they're a commanding officer, and where can I find a fetish site for these people?

I'm going to join that army and commit attrcites on civilians and claim that colonel-in-chief: Nils Olav commanded it of me.

they can't punish me for following orders... and i know Olav won't talk, only further incriminating himself.

And hearing you say that reminded me of Penguin Bender leading the "If it aint black and white, peck scratch and bite" attack.

I've heard of a few cases where animals and children have accidentally slipped through the promotion ladder, but deliberately making a penguin a colonel is amazing. Does he have a dress uniform?
