Stripes. Yeah, right. Clearly, Rory is wearing tats of their own. Totally
covered in 'em! I'm calling foul. "Delicious, organic friends"... I
wanna
see a photo of Tux to verify life. Something's not right here.

First, I want to make clear that I express no opinion
on the ink
conversation. I respect the diverse points of views in our community. I
understand that everyone has their own stripes.
That said, I am deeply saddened and frankly shocked by allegations voiced
by certain people in this thread that somehow I would consider eating Tux,
the official mascot of the Linux kernel.
As a supporter of the free knowledge movement, I hunger for role models
like Tux. Penguins are known for their outstanding qualities[1], and,
showing my good taste, I recognize that my small LCA Foundation profile [2]
hardly matches the prominent recognition of Tux’s Wikipedia article. [3] I
accordingly decided long ago that Tux was off the menu.
To the contrary, I offer my paw in friendship to Tux. Some say that open
source animals are full of bugs, turning them into organic delights. I do
support organic meats. I mean friends. Organic friends.
Delicious, organic friends.
I am really hungry now. (I’m not allowed to eat legal interns anymore.[4])
Tux, let’s get together soon, real soon, maybe over lunch.
Best,
Rory
