Oooh – duck-based cocktails on Friday. Now there’s a subject to send people quackers. (And don’t forget to send the bill. Etc. etc.) lyle on April 17, 2013
Just because the duck is black makes him no different to other ducks. End duck apartheid now! graybo on April 17, 2013

Better than being a Fuzzy Duck, anyway

This post needs more gardening.
I hope the other ducks aren’t being racist ducks.
