Ducks Are Awesome

This clip reminded me of my duck (or rather one particular duck of note) who is long dead. I saw the clip and practically shouted “TO FREEDOM AND STUPIDITY!” You had to know my duck to understand.

That stupid duck is the only livestock for whom I’ve written a eulogy. If you don’t want to read all the bits of the duck’s strange life (which so fascinated yours truly), you can click to news of his demise and how I took it. It ends like this:

Thor continued “He died as he lived… free and stupid!

He paused to refill his flagon. “TO FREEDOM AND STUPIDITY!” He shouted. We all joined in with a hearty shout and a great brain cell killing drink.

I invite you all to share a drink in memory of Bowling Pin Chicken: “TO FREEDOM AND STUPIDITY!”

Trust me on this, any one of us would be proud and lucky to live half as well as that stupid silly duck. Tonight I’m going to do a shot in honor of him!

His whole story is covered in:

The Strange Life Of Bowling Pin Chicken: To Freedom And Stupidity

The story is also on my Notable Sagas page.

I still miss that feathery little bastard!

    Little paws or in this case muddy webbed feet on your soul.

    Proverbs 12: …9Better to be lightly esteemed yet have a servant, than to be self-important but lack food. 10A righteous man regards the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are only cruelty. 11The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies lacks judgment.…

    Wish you were my neighbor.
