PENGUIN PLUNGE - Part 2



Even dogs were "Freezin' for a Reason".



Look...it's Pebbles.



This is Shaggy from KIX and his friend who looked like a human billboard. She had "Westwood" written all over her body.



What would the plunge be without penguins?



Toga...toga...toga




He was the "Ice King" one of the rescue people sitting on an ice chair. I wonder if he has 'roids today?



These guys are having too much fun. The guys in the black shirt to the right stayed on the water a few minutes. I think it was in honor of a friend who had died. They better be careful they might die of hypothermia.

Those people around the water have press passes. I should get one of those! I have a wider audience than them all.



Such a gentleman, helping this lady into the freezing cold water. She looks like she just got back from a date. That is a heck of a way to get over a hangover.

If anyone is in these photos wants a copy I will send you one. If you plunged and you don't see yourself just ask and tell me what you are wearing and I might have one of you.

PENGUIN PLUNGE - SOUTHWICK MA

Southwick, MA - These people braved the cold weather and water to raise money. The tempature was in the teens and I couldn't guess what the water was like. I think the worst was that the organizers made them stand around for about a half hour in various states of undress.


This guy is flying backwards over the cold water, sorry, it is just as cold anyway you go in.



It was tutu cold for this guy. Maybe his friend will share some ganja to get warm after.



I think that hula skirt will be shaking with all the shivering she will be doing after.



BELLY FLOP!



This is Marc Spencer from a local country radio station KIX. I don't think the bumper stickers kept him very warm; he actually looks in pain. I will show one of his partners Shaggy tomorrow.
