Hahahaha ! Jeez your norty, dr scribe :) I really wasn't intending for it 
to be toilet humour.

The connection was actually with the penguin from W&G Wrong Trousers when 
he ended up stuck in a bottle but we didn't want to distort Tux.

Careful readers may also make some connection with the recent pamphlet
"Have you seen this penguin?". This was purely coincidental.

Also, be mindful that often the "coolness on a t-shirt" metric is sometimes 
the use of particular fonts. So many graphical alternatives are possible.

I like the surfboard Tux because he means business but you'll have probably 
realised by now that the ideas from the DnD padded concepts room are driven 
by the likes of Wallace and Gromit and The Goons (folks). Radio National,

The upsidedown-ness was J's idea so here is one with him right way up.
