2011 Penguin Plunge

Brett Brown and his Safeway crew show no fear as they get ready to jump in. They wore a different look a second later. The smile on Dave Koon's face belies his body temperature as he approaches judge Tom Mayo.
Tish Lagerwey, right, and her team of dedicated officers just a split second before they had the chance to decide that maybe this wasn't such a good idea ... That buxom cheerleader, the girl of many dreams ... and the faery princess, with perky wings and a great tutu as well, are all ears as "Superman" Dave Kramer gives them their cold water diving instructions.
Unfortunately, Superman didn't soar off into the sunset despite encouragement from JoJo Baker  ... ... and the cheerleader was soon to lose both pom-poms and wig, coming up the bald manager of Mugsy's, Michael Reasoner. He was disqualified from the winners round for improper flotation devices and hairy legs.
Tish Lagerwey and the dedicated officers of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency prove that they'll go any where and answer any call in service to the people of this community and this nation ... ... While Superman Dave Kramer, cape askew, appears to be thinking that sometimes sense is the better part of valor. "Iron" Mike Davis, swimming behind, owner of Iron Mike's Gym, is looking like it's just another day in the pool.
Meanwhile, the young kids were showing of, practicing high jumps and even back flips. And I wish I'd have learned this woman's name but she was too fast out of the water. Her significant other might have been right behind her, but he had to go back and chase his hat, as reflected in the orange ripples.
