What happy penguin earned the highest honor of 60K? Janbb! Can you help congratulate her?

60K is quite the accomplishment. Only met by one other jelly. Congratulations!

HO’OMAIKAI! This is outstanding. I will bring kippers to the luau.

Jeruba's avatar

Hurray, hurray, Jan! A rare diamond indeed. (Don’t forget us folks who knew you when.)

I’m bringing 600 balloons.

 
I know of only two other jellies in the 60k circle: @Marinelife and @JLeslie. Is there anyone else?

Insanity. Congratulations, penguin. So deserved.

Caravanfan's avatar

Congrats Penguin!

rebbel's avatar

How you are still alive (being a penguin, the second most clumsy animal on the planet) I don’t know.
Or is it maybe the fact that you are the most clever, the most bibliothetical, the least Liberian Librarian, penguin in existence?
The only talking penguin?

Well, whatever it may be, you are definitely the only penguin around that is lurved world wide.
60,000 times lurved (at least)!

Jeruba's avatar

“Bibliothetical.” Well said, @rebbel.

rebbel's avatar

Thank you, that is so kind, @Jeruba!

chyna's avatar

@janbb It’s such an honor to be in the mansion with such greatness! Party is in full swing now. Go down by the pool where the band is playing and in your honor, there are penguin floaties in the pool. Enjoy your day!

Thank you @Jeruba for pointing out there are two other 60k jellies. I somehow missed one.

HEY! WAY TO GO!!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @janbb.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Well done ! ! !

Well deserved ! !

KNOWITALL's avatar

Wow, congratulations!

JLoon's avatar

Yay bb!

I hope there’s free fish involved ;)

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

^bb? Are they serving neked pancakes already?

jca2's avatar

Quite a feat for those flipper feet!

Congratulations! When’s the party?

filmfann's avatar

Congo rats to one of my favorite jellies! You are too wonderful for words!

flutherother's avatar

60Kongratulations. Allow me to open the door of the mansion for you. Have a seat and warm your flippers by the fire. I’ll fix you a nice drink. Oh, I see. Well maybe I could give you a straw? Straws don’t work with beaks? OK, what we’ll do is we’ll fill the pool with champagne and throw in a few fish. How does that sound?

Well done and well deserved. The Internet is marvellous but it lacks penguins. We are lucky to have one here.

Love_my_doggie's avatar

Let’s all flap our flippers and waddle over to the throne of this outstanding person.

LuckyGuy's avatar

Congrats on the well deserved 60k! That is an astonishing achievement!!!

We’ll set the mansion thermostat down to Freezing in your honor!

KRD's avatar

Since the party is on 60k and no reward is for that I’m getting some drinks. Anyone want any? Its on me.

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

@KRD I’ll have one of those virgin mojitos. Thanks.

kritiper's avatar

Exceptionally well done!

janbb's avatar

Gee guys, gals and in-betweens – Thanks for all the fish!

smudges's avatar

When I become a lawyer I want to defend a penguin just so I can say the words, “Your Honor, clearly my client is not a flight risk.” (•͈⌔•͈⑅)

Congrats @janbb!

Jeruba's avatar

@smudges, I laughed in spite of myself.

raum's avatar

hee hee

Tropical_Willie's avatar

I’d hire @smudges for a lawyer or comedy writer in a minute.

KRD's avatar

If I had a comedy business I would hire @smudges the second they apply!

KRD's avatar

@Hawaii_Jake your virgin mojitos.

smudges's avatar

gosh, thanks, guys! I really just found it on the internet.

Jeruba's avatar

Penguin jokes on the internet? Aww. What even made you look?

cookieman's avatar

Go Penguin!! It’s your 60K!! Go Penguin!! It’s your 60K!!

Salted Cod dipped in chocolate for everyone!!!

To one of my all time favorite Jellies… ((WHALE HUGS))

janbb's avatar

Thanks Cookie!

smudges's avatar

@Jeruba I just wanted something special for @janbb and figured the internet had everything. 8)

HP's avatar

Mind boggling!

tinyfaery's avatar

Wowza! Congrats, @janbb. 60K is crazy.

janbb's avatar

@tinyfaery It’s scary!

KRD's avatar

@janbb how is 60k scary?

janbb's avatar

@KRD I’m not being really serious about that but it is indicative of the amount of time I spend on here.

Mimishu1995's avatar

Oh, I’m late again.

Now that no one has ever been here yet, I guess it’s time for @janbb to build her personal penguin army here :D

cookieman's avatar

@Mimishu1995: “Penguin Army”!?! What great idea!

<< Lets all be penguins for a bit!

cookieman's avatar

In fact…

::cues David Bowfish:;

I, I will be Jelly
And you, you would be too
Seems nothing can drive her away
We can be like @janbb, just for one day
We can be penguins, just for one day
And you, you can be flightless
And I, I’ll eat cookies all the time
‘Cause we’re Jellies, and that is a fact
Yes we’re friends, and that is that
Though nothing will keep us together
We could swim ‘round just for one day
We can be penguins for ever and ever
What d’you say?

janbb's avatar

@cookieman Love it! Now make a recording of it and post it here!

smudges's avatar

That’s awesome, @cookieman!!

cookieman's avatar

C’mon y’all. Join the Penguin Army! Switch your avatar to the best flightless bird ever – just for one day.

KRD's avatar

I would when I fug ire out why a two letter word is to long.

tedibear's avatar

CONGRATULATONS!!! Thank you for your terrific answers and questions. It’s a pleasure being here with you. <3

Mimishu1995's avatar

@cookieman I sent my newly recruited thug for the army. He is a bit fat, but he is strong and can crush his enemies just by jumping on them and can deflect any bullets on him. He saved me a lot of manpower and bullets. I hope he will be a good addition to the army. Just make sure to feed him 3 tunas a day ok? He eats more than a normal penguin I’m afraid.

cookieman's avatar

He is perfect @Mimishu1995!! We can toss in a can of sardines a day too, for a snack.

KRD's avatar

How about this avatar?

cookieman's avatar

@KRD: THAT is a nice penguin!

KRD's avatar

Thanks @cookieman. Yours is a nice penguin two!

janbb's avatar

^^ Nice, thanks!

Forever_Free's avatar

OMG!!! How did I miss this??

60K is amazing. I bow in honorable respect to you.

So long and thanks for the fish.

Congo-rats!!!!!

KRD's avatar

What fish do penguins eat?

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Anchovies, sardines . . . . and herring.

KRD's avatar

The 60K award is “Great Penguin” Due to the fact that @janbb is the first if not one of the first to get to 60K. Now lets see who else can get the Great Penguin.

rebbel's avatar

3rd, I believe.

Jeruba's avatar

Yes, third, as noted above.

MrGrimm888's avatar

Penthouse in the mansion!

I bet there’s a great view up there.

KRD's avatar

What is it like in the 60K mansion @janbb?

janbb's avatar

@KRD It’s awfully quiet since Marinelife left but at least JLeslie and I can hang out at the pool and have the pool boys bring us cocktails and snacks all day. And the chef alternates making meals that she requests and menus that I devise. I like the moon roof in my bedroom too that I can open when I want to look at the stars. And the manmade iceberg is awfully fun to slide down!

KRD's avatar

Can’t wait to reach 60K which will be a few years. Have fun there @janbb!

KRD's avatar

Enjoy.

mazingerz88's avatar

I rarely check Meta. I’m one month late to this party. That should be a record! CONGRATS!!! @janbb

KRD's avatar

I check Meta in stuff like this happens.

Jeruba's avatar

I doubt that anyone else is ever going to make that milestone, unless there’s somebody really close. There are simply too few jellies now. The long-termers have already maxed out on everybody, so their GAs and GQs aren’t adding to anyone’s lurve. So let’s make this party the greatest! I happen to have a huge platter of shrimp cocktail right here. Help yourself.

mazingerz88's avatar

For 60K you get your own helipad and submarine dock at the mansion!

Patty_Melt's avatar

Yes! This is a very special occasion.
Let’s celebrate by looking at something our friend doesn’t know we found.
@janbb has some great home movies
My favorite part is when young jan dressed up as Chewbacca for Halloween, then the next year, all the kids in the neighborhood copied it. The grownups argued about whose little one is the best looking Chewy, and the distraction left the kids with no candy.

Can anyone reveal why mods must turn away many penguins from joining Fluther?

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

Here’s some entertainment for you. (You have to skip over a bunch of preliminary stuff to get to the hula, which starts at about the 2:15 mark.)

Patty_Melt's avatar

Cool!
Which one is you?
