This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread , 2015 edition, 2016 edition and 2017 edition
The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. More Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs should be posted elsewhere on FT as should topics better suited to other forums such as Travel Products for questions about luggage or Travel Photography for discussion about cameras.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply here as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

Penguins aren't native there, no.
...one imagines a penguin would have to spend quite a long time flyin' to turn up in New Zealand.
He'd probably be in a fowl mood by the time he landed, but maybe he was super angry all along.

^Doubtless there have been lots of great posts today.
Got to believe several were better, but thank you for the kind words.
All sorts of topics for discussion, from salient facts to pointless bickering.
Flyertalk is a constant source of useful information, that's why I come back.

I believe there are native penguins in Milford Sound... And near Melbourne and even in the Equator.
They are not all in the Antarctic
Just most of them.

Man, Laine and Winnipeg looking real good (although I would expect them to be able to beat the Avs)
Leafs, not so much even if the recent games were against the league's best.
