Muscovy duck. Sorry, out of all other duck types I can think of, I am repelled by that particular, ugly variety.

When I was a kid growing up on the bayou in NW Florida, I was oftern attacked by Muscovy ducks. They were as tall as I was and seemed to weigh about the same. Used to freak me out something fierce, but thinking about it now, what were they going to do, bill me to death?

But Sammy sounds cool; he'd be allowed in the neighborhood.

BXRWXR: Firefox is unable to connect to sptimes.com, unlike me and the subby's mom

As Britney Spears would say, "Hunh?"

I use Firefox and rely on the SP Times for about everything.

OH MY GOD SHE FED HIM CHICKEN!

Awww, that was nice. So much nicer than that yellow, blood-sucking vampire spider thing from an erlier thread that was threatening to haunt my dreams tonight.

BXRWXR: And are a subscriber to the site as well I'm betting.

It's free, you know.

I remember a field trip my grade-school class once took to a park where there were tons of white ducks. One stood amongst the rest, though, because it had one red eye and an afro. Seriously, there was a tuft of duck down on top of its head that made it look like Don King. Some of us called him "Duck King," but I also called him "Kano" for the eye.

Badass-looking duck.

The thing about Muscovy ducks is that are absolutely ugly and unpleasant to be around.

You have to admit this is a sweet and happy story, unless you're a Muscovy too.

BXRWXR: Not the point.

As Muscovys do not quack, I'll respond quizzically to your post they way they do when confronted: "Hhhhhhhhaaaassss"

Sammy Jankis?

We had one of those at our local park, too. I always thought he just had some weird hair-malfunction birth defect, but I guess it's rather more common than I thought.
Way to ruin my childhood!
/why didn't MINE have a cool red eye?

BXRWXR: Indeed.

Huh, what have I done wrong in your eyes? Signing up for TotalFark?

Why the mad anger?

Hhhhhhhhaaaasss!

Not really a Florida tag at all, more like a sweet yet sappy article. Kinda cute. Awwwwwwwwwwwwww.

BXRWXR: Not the point.

Hey, where did the moran run off to whining about Firefox and this link?

He was just getting interesting.

ma'am, that's a turkey! slice him up and put gravy on that mofo!

great story

Guess I'll never find out what that retard's point was.

Whee! A story had a greenlight that you didn't like!

Old folks are tasty. Here's looking at you Grandma,

Nice duck. I hope it isn't mauled by a lioness and euthanized.

/sappy fark stories end badly

I think some moran (who shall remain nameless ((BX-----)) is angry and upset that the tale of Sammy the Duck is on Fark.

I expect that's not a healthy psychological mentality to survive life, but that's just me.

Did anyone else see that 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' was written by Lennon/McCarthy??? in the letter to Guitartabs.com. who is this McCarthy guy? Paul must have been replaced..... and we never knew it.

They (guitartabs.com) would have legal recourse to keep the site up just because of this typo.

sorry...wrong thread...frickin IE browser.... haha

I have one of these. He can be very aggressive and takes his yard patrolling duties very seriously. We have to put him under a trash can when we want to do yardwork. He loves my BF the best and follows him everywhere. He has also made friends with one of our cats and they like to hang out.

He's all personality and no brains.

Hshisssss Hchisssss hhhhaaaaissss

If Muscovies think you're okay, then you're in. They're particularly fond of cheese, in my experience.

If they think you're NOT okay, you're in for a biting.

Lots of people here try and feed the ducks the wrong way...they won't come eat out of your hand until they trust you at least a little bit. Waving your fat claw in their face only upsets them. And keep your greasy obeses offspring the hell away...ducks are as repulsed by the spew of your loins as the rest the world. But it's amusing for the rest of us to watch your pampered kiddies get attacked by waterfowl, so keep it up.

Time for me to retire now, and become a duck.

We used to have one of these that hung around my house. I named him chuck (Because I was stupid and thought he looked like part chicken and part duck. HE CLUCKED GIVE ME A BREAK) But anyway, Chuck was my dog's best friend. My barking piss machine would just sit there and watch Chuck as he waddled around making clucking sounds and eating her dog food. (My dog evidently runs a soup kitchen for wayward animals. I 've seen her let everything from a duck to a cat to squrriels eat out of her dish unopposed)

Sadly chuck hung around for a summer or so and suddenly left. The whole neigherhood was upset. We were afraid for awhile that some of the neighbors little crotch spawn shiat heads hurt him. If I'd have found out they had I swear I'd have burned their house down. I know I know, not the most rational thing to think but I kinda see it this way.

They make new welfare baby idiots who terrorize neighborhoods everyday. But a good nice duck like Chuck only comes around once in awhile.

Totally pointless story
