1/10/2005: Whale penis



A shot of an actual whale penis. Celebrate the whale penis!

On 3/28/2002 the IotD first featured the whale penis, and since then it's been an informal glance at how Google ranks phrases, a Cellar tradition, and even a sort of friendly competition (that's how I take it anyway). Here's the history so far.

At one point, the 3/28 image became a point of interest for whale penis images, and the Cellar briefly reached #1 in Google ranking for the phrase, after we talked about it a bit more. That ensured it would be a new Cellar tradition and away we go.

Ex-Cellarite juju, in a fit of pique a while back, built a site to compete with IotD. (It lasted three weeks, and I thought: see, it ain't as easy as it seems, is it now? IotD has to be a bit of a labor of love, which it is for me, and that's what drives it. Love lasts, pique doesn't.) The best image that Juju found was of sperm collection on a live Orca penis, which was very impressive. (I can't find it now, but I know it's out there.)

And Elionwyr found an Orca penis dildo, but again I point out that these are based on Orca wangs, and that Orcas are not really whales even though they are called "killer whales",...

Syc's Ciberbosque then started an impressively long thread on whale penis, growing out of and firmly extending the Cellar tradition.

Yesterday user staceyv wound up at the site of a whale beaching in Connecticut, and remembering the importance of whale peeners, took a few shots which she proudly forwards to IotD via this thread.



Good work all. The tradition lives on. Celebrate the whale penis in all its glory.

The Cellar is currently #22 in Google for the phrase. It truly doesn't matter one bit, but this shot alone is a better resource for the item than most others listed. So it will be interesting to see if others find it and click on it and link it, changing the rank. Are we truly the king of all dorks? Please, no wagering!

All hail the whale penis!!

Good job, staceyv, on getting the pics.



staceyv  Monday Jan 10 08:44 PM

Thanks I actually took this picture today, in Newport, Rhode Island. It was at Brenton Point, along the Ocean Drive (where all the mansions are- There's a Jim Carey movie out there that has him riding around the Ocean Drive on a motorcycle, I can't remember which movie...) Anyway, I feel blessed that I was able to witness this miraculous event



capnhowdy  Monday Jan 10 08:50 PM

Quite an image.
I hate penises other than my own and I still like the pic.

One question: Where are the cahones?



sycamore  Monday Jan 10 10:12 PM

Google gets all weird with our ranking...the thread is there one day, gone the next. Haven't seen it in a while, but we'll keep going.

We're still offering free whalepenis.org e-mail forwarders, and you may want to join us in worship at The Church of the Whale Penis.

xoxoxoBruce  Monday Jan 10 11:12 PM

Good job Stacey, looks like you got there just in time. Do you know where they were taking it?



staceyv  Monday Jan 10 11:32 PM

I have no idea. Maybe they were trying to get it to lie straight on the roller or something, but to me, it looked like they were scooping it's guts out onto the pavement. It's been there since Dec. 24 and originally they said they would let it sit there and decompose naturally. I guess some genius figured out that it would take awhile with this cold weather and that it would really stink. Ugh, if you got on the side of it where the wind was blowing it really stank. Where WOULD they take it?? I think they should've chopped it up the same day they found it and took it out to sea as fish food.



staceyv  Monday Jan 10 11:51 PM

elpsode found an article about the whale. here's a link:

That's one ugly looking todger. Mrs. whale has to deal with that womb broom on a personal level, the poor cow.



axlrosen  Tuesday Jan 11 12:13 PM

I missed the long history of the whale penis on IOTD. I assume someone mentioned the bar stools on Aristotle Onassis' yacht?

"Perhaps the most famous spot on board, John F. Kennedy first met Sir Winston Churchill in Ari's Bar in 1957... The circular bar itself was originally crafted from the timbers of a Spanish Galleon, wound with heavy sailing rope and is adorned with footrests and handholds of ornately carved whales' teeth... The barstools are covered in whale foreskin, a fact that Onassis delighted in telling his guests."

Stacey's whale must be Jewish.

Skin it back! I can't believe I just typed that.
The burning question remains: WHERE THE HELL ARE THE CAHONES?

A eunoch (SP?)

I'm considering a diet of nothing but plankton............the circumcision didn't help a lot, either.........

I believe for whales, as well as most seagoing mammals, they're located inside the body. Dig around the general area of the close-up photo and you might find them. Makes sense though...I mean, if you were a seagoing mammal, would you want to have your sleek sexy marine outline thrown off by a big ol' pair of thingies swinging around? Besides, having them dangle would almost be like dangling bait


Roosta  Wednesday Jan 12 08:23 AM

Do the barstools have height adjusters or do you just give the top a quick rub?



juju  Saturday Jan 22 11:28 PM

Hey all,

Here's the orca penis in question.



wolf  Sunday Jan 23 10:01 AM

That's the lead in pic for the Church of the Whale Penis.

Hi juju, welcome back.



Undertoad  Sunday Jan 23 10:13 AM

It is, as I noted, a most impressive find.



darclauz  Monday Oct 3 12:29 AM

..........my dream date.



darclauz  Monday Oct 3 12:30 AM

i can't believe i said that. two minutes at the cellar again, and it's a whale penis evening.

LORD, i missed this place.



darclauz  Monday Oct 3 12:31 AM

and......... who's the guy, and what's his story? how does his wife feel about his fifteen minutes of fame? does she ever have cellarites stop them out in public, and say...hey! i know your husband! wasn't he the guy who....................

The whale penis will rise again.

The biggest was a 5-foot-2-inch organ once belonging to a sperm whale and now preserved in a cylinder of formaldehyde. It was twice as long when it was still attached to the whale, Hjartarson said.

That's the original whale penis IotD from the museum.



Ibram  Monday Jun 5 07:57 AM

That orcock is... is...

I'm pretty sure this is still true nowadays. At least, it would seem so from the way some dickheads act.


xoxoxoBruce  Thursday Jul 13 11:16 PM

We can always use another......



Elspode  Thursday Jul 13 11:24 PM

Where are the whale indecency police?



Brianna  Friday Jul 14 11:05 AM

Do whale penii just flop around like that? I would have thought that they were retractable somehow.



Ibram  Friday Jul 14 11:08 AM

I think they actually are.. I know most oceanic mammals have retractible wangs, like dolphins and most whales...

He's probably just spotted a hottie.


Ibram  Friday Jul 14 11:16 AM

MAN, it would be really annoying if they WEREN'T retractable... you're swimmin' along really fast, it's trailing behind whippin' around in the current... *shakes head*

yeah, that's what I thought. Lots of drag with a Johnson like that.


BigV  Friday Jul 14 12:12 PM

Drag is just another word for friction.

Not all mammals have hands, y'know.



xoxoxoBruce  Friday Jul 14 10:14 PM

It retracts when he wants it to...but why would he want to?

Sheldonrs  Sunday Mar 28 10:11 PM

I guess it's upto me to make the obvious Moby Dick reference.



spudcon  Monday Mar 29 08:36 AM

More than 5 years, and no ones mentioned a recipe for whale schlong?



Brianna  Monday Mar 29 09:02 AM

When I see the name 'spudcon' -- I think of a felony-convicted potato.

Then I wonder if "felony potatoes" would go good with roast whale penis - OR - is "The Potato Felons" just a good name for a rock band?

Is this wrong?



spudcon  Monday Mar 29 11:08 PM

My secret's been discovered!
