Standing Ducks

These running ducks sort of freak me out. I yelled at them to start waddling. When they ignored me,   I threatened to attach little arms to their sides to make them look proportional. Wikipedia says only females quack, well at least louder than the men. Kinda reminds me of another species; yep, those silly dolphins! Though I don't use Instagram, these video really resonated with me: http://www.vh1.com/music/tuner/2012-12-04/nicklebacks-photograph-gets-college-humor-ed-look-at-this-instagram/. Especially where he is trying to get a picture of a duck, and it won't stand still.

Retired AFLAC Duck

Because it is the real AFLAC duck. Seriously, this was the understudy to the original AFLAC duck who lost the job, and this one waddled up big. The zoo that keeps him says that he will pose for pictures all day. This is compliments of my brother who showed me this and I instantly said AFLAC duck, not asking him why he was showing me a picture of a duck. There is a great Gary Larson cartoon where a couple of guys are exiting a forest, and the tag line says something like: "They both were thinking about what the chief said 'when you exit this valley, you will be wearing a duck.'" BTW, bro forgot to get an autograph, or footprint, or whatever. Wow, there are a bunch of searches on "What are a duck's feet called?" I feel much dumber all the sudden.

Rubber Duck Collection

In back of  someone's car window. What makes one wake up one day and say, I am going to collect rubber ducks. I would say Ernie, from Bert and Ernie, however, he was a monogamous duck person...er puppet.
