pendord.mp3 is a PCB Meme created in 2014. It is a text-to-speech edit of an anonymous book received by Penguina.
Origin
Some time in 2014[1], the affections of a PCB member towards Penguina were detailed in an in-game Minecraft book. The author of this book kept their name unknown, only identifying themselves as "a girl, the best PCB OP" in the message. The author was requested to keep the details private, however they claimed they were unable to keep it a secret anymore, especially from Penguina herself. The identity of the author soon became fairly obvious to active members at the time, however this information will not be disclosed in this article.
Book Contents / Transcript
The book read as follows:
Hello there! You won't expect who this is.
[Player] is in love with you. He talks to me about you every day. He cries about you. He gets so emotional that I can't stand it. He didn't want me to tell anyone but I couldn't
(Page 2) keep it in anymore. I need you to know how much you are loved. Even if you have a boyfriend or don't feel the same back. [Player] loves you more than any boyfriend you have ever had. I don't want this to damage your friendship because I know how much it
(Page 3) means to you both. [Player] writes things about you 24/7. He tells me how he doesn't deserve you. How much better you are than him. How he is pretty straight minded. However, even in the craziest time you are always creative. Penguin I want this to make your
(Page 4) friendship stronger. I want you to know how much he cares. You should tell him how you REALLY feel, because he can't. This isn't [Player]. This is a girl. The best PCB OP too. [Player] has only told 3 people.

Dramatisation and Spread
The contents of the book soon became a server wide meme, helped by a dramatised recording[2] created by TheOctopus, which featured a robotic voice narrator, reading the book as a script, with backing music At a Medium Pace. The text-to-speech system used to create the narrator struggled to pronounce certain words, adding to the humour of the script; changing Penguina [pɛŋ-gwin-e] to Penguinah [pɛŋ-gwən-a] in the altered opening sentence.
