[struggle4progress]

2. I wanted you to free the duck. But now I really miss it

:(

Maybe I'll spearhead a DU movement to bring back the duck!

:bounce:

And then, of course, I'll feel sorry for the duck again ...

:cry:

6. Talk about fuck a duck

[HopeHoops]

7. Funny story about that term - from my 6th or 7th grade French class.

We were playing some game as an exercise where the teacher would whisper a phrase in French to each of the students in the front row. You would turn around and whisper it to the person behind you as best you could regurgitate what you had heard. The last person would then state the phrase as they heard it and the row that got the closest would win.

On one try, the girl at the end of one row was reluctant to answer. Finally, under pressure from the teacher, she said, "fuck a duck?"

I'm sure that's about as close as she could interpret what had been passed down the line, but the teacher was not amused and sent her to the office. On the plus side, I didn't like her anyway. She was nasty.

8. Hahaha....that sounds like a David Sadaris experience

[HopeHoops]

11. The teacher was NOT amused, but she did have a sense of humor...

During one of our "read out-loud" sessions, one of the jocks (not bright, but a genius compared to Sarah Palin) was supposed to say "champion water skier". Instead of "champion" (pronounced "sham-pee-yon"), he said "champignon" (pronounced "sham-ping-yon") and the teacher exploded in laughter. We all looked at her like she had gone insane. When she calmed down, she explained that the slip created a mental image for her of a mushroom on water skis. Yeah, that's funny, but I'm not sure it merits a total breakdown.

12. LOL, that's hilarious!

17. Do you remember the original French phrase?

Do you remember what the original phrase was that devolved into "fuck a duck" ?? :D

[HopeHoops]

19. No, but I wasn't very good at French - Russian and German were far easier for me.

I think the problem I had with French is that I couldn't get my head to hear the words individually. Pretty much everything sounded like one stream of incoherent syllables - sort of like listening to Sarah Palin. About the only thing I remember as a phrase is "deu beeftek avec des frits" and the one I actually use, "Je ne parles pas francais", and I'm sure the spelling is completely wrong in both. It isn't a language I'm interested in anyway. My mother decided I should take it when I was in middle school because that's the language SHE had taken. In college, I took four semesters each of Russian and German and seriously enjoyed learning both.

21. "Baiser le canard"?

:rofl:

[Pool Hall Ace]

22. Oh, you're so bad.

I had to put that in to Babylon and it translated to "Kiss the duck." :spank:

[RedCloud]

9. I want to release a duck that never fries!

[graywarrior]

10. How about a duck that never lies

Rare, but there must be a few around.

[hobbit709]

13. did you release it, or cook it?

:rofl:

[blogslut]

14. Hey you

:hi:

[madinmaryland]

15. Heh! Was that you in the video pestering the duck? Why do hate ducks??

:hi:

[ismnotwasm]

16. Oh thank God

Welcome Back!

[BarenakedLady]

18. Woot!

Miss you!

[Bake]

20. Bring back the duck!

:hi:

Bake

[Fire Walk With Me]

23. Do not disturb the duck, it is already disturbed.

:hi:

[applegrove]

24. Ducks are dangerous. I called out to one today and it started following me thinking I had bread.

:scared: I won't do that again.

25. You need a dog.

Even though my dogs are small, they are very effective at keeping ducks at a distance.

[graywarrior]

27. I've befriended the crows in my front yard

They have long term memories about who messed with them and they talk amongst themselves. Never ever fuck with a crow.

[surrealAmerican]

28. They're very smart birds ...

... one of the few animals known to not only use tools, but make tools.

[graywarrior]

29. They have regional dialects!

They horde food on their crow bodies knowing that other crows know they're hording food because they all do it.
