A+ reveal.

8. The only Original Six team I haven't yet mentioned is the New York Rangers. New York is the normal answer to many questions in POG "sheep" games, including name a city, name a state, and name a place where people are rude.




Sheep aren't commonly found in New York City...


(The "sheep meadow" in Central Park; see for yourself.)


(a sorry effort)


... They are quite common in New Zealand, however. The largest city in New Zealand is Auckland. Auckland was named after Lord Auckland, the Viceroy of India, rather than after auks (more properly known as alcids). This makes sense, because auks are not native to New Zealand (nor India, for that matter).




Separated at birth? Not so much — the auks can fly:

Penguins, however, occupy a similar ecological niche to auks and several species do live in New Zealand. Most penguins, like auks, are largely black and white; neither flies much (auks do, but not well; all penguins are flightless); and each dives for fish.




And because I couldn't find a pic of a hot chick in a penguin outfit, here's ice dancer Anna Semonovich:




How deep in feet, is the deepest recorded dive by a penguin?

Damn atak. How many countries have you been to?

If I hadn't ****ed up the Japan attendance question I may have done alright

Those Penguins sure ****ing dive a lot *ahem* Crosby *ahem*

So do I. I have a fictional moose friend called Sørenkieraakenössen and I was pronouncing the ø and ö differently. Now I have to rethink everything.

Edit: well he's not so much fictional as much as he only exists on paper (AT THE MOMENT!!!!)

He also likes to go by Mooity the moose, as he understands not everyone can speak moose. He is the moose of wisdom. He knows a lot about metaethics.

u jelly?

Answer: Haha, gotcha! — not one but two bird questions. And legit bird questions at that.

Penguins dive for fish. Fish are found beneath the surface. Way beneath the surface. While no one can say for certain how deep penguins can go, we do know that the emperor penguins can stay submerged for twenty minutes and go as deep as 1,800 feet.

That's all, folks — final results coming up in just a bit.

I think it's 35. Bingo Bango, who just did a photo sheep with his own pics, has me with around 50, and I'm sure several other POGgers do too.

Willing to bet I'm the only one who has every state and province though.

Thank you very much for this awesome game, atakdog!

Great questions, a great OP, and a great reveal! That was fun!

I consider not being in that first group a success.

We also have 3 territories for the record

I'm impressed with myself for being in the top half.

Wow, 5th pretty pumped what do I win?

I'm not far behind you. I should count how many states I have to go to catch up. Maybe tomorrow.



Thanks for the game, I realy enjoyed the reveal. Now I'm off to Ro's Bar & Grill to hopefully watch a hockey game if they have it.

YAY! I finally get one, or close enough. NO ONE can beat me when it comes to penguins.


GG game all, GOAT reveal atak (sorry mac), thanks for running.
