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

A screenshot of the original books contents

The book read as follows:

Hello Penguina, you won't expect who this is.

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].
