i grew up near Marine World Africa USA before it got bought out by six flags. It was the Standard Second Grade Field Trip out here to go to Marine World and go see the animals and ride the teacups that i swear disneyland ripped off and made better (yes i made this part of the story up when i was in second grade shut up). But the park was not opened up for the summer yet and all us little shits got to run around. And at 2pm they had a penguin feeding and I told my teacher I loved the pengies at the Portland Oregon zoo, so we went to see the pengies and get a special lesson from the pengie trainer. I don't remember most of it but i got to throw a fish at not to (let's be honest i still throw like an uncoordinated 6 year old who should have been drummed off his tee ball team) the penguins.

It was neat
i had an onion on my belt

first song i ever wrote that was good was about one of their elephant trainers, who was a good friend, but that's another story
