11 Wolverine Librarian 04.05.07 at 1:32 pm

Reminds me of the passage of “The Wind in the Willows” where ratty is reciting a song to mole about the ducks dabbling and he comes to the refrain
“Up tales all!”

12 Michigan Wolverine 04.05.07 at 1:34 pm

Or rather “Up TAILS all”

How come you can never see the mistakes until it’s posted and you look like a ninny?

Don’t they kind’ve look like pockets or something? Meg needs to market “Duck Tock vases” You could fill them up with lovely daffodils or something. I want one for my desk!

15 BunFF 04.05.07 at 1:54 pm

OH, and i LOVE when the geese bathe!! It starts out like this, but then they go arse end over and do a complete flip!!! Funny stuff! (it’s a miracle i get any work done here!)

16 Jessica 04.05.07 at 1:59 pm

20 thedistractor 04.05.07 at 2:15 pm

ebee– Why, is that a Dune reference?

21 thedistractor 04.05.07 at 2:17 pm

Actually, it’s probably a Get Smart reference.

22 quacks 04.05.07 at 2:21 pm

a single ducktock is currently the background on my computer. and now this? it’s all very meta-tock.

best. animals. EVER.

23 Paula 04.05.07 at 2:27 pm

Ducks’ Ditty
All along the backwater,
Through the rushes tall,
Ducks are a-dabbling,
Up tails all!

Ducks’ tails, drakes’ tails,
Yellow feet a-quiver,
Yellow bills all out of sight
Busy in the river!

Just watch ducks long enough, and they will do this. And everyone will go “squeeeee!”

30 Meatcup 04.05.07 at 4:38 pm

awww! at my old cottage you could bring a lawn chair down to the lake and lil duckys would come and swim under your chair and look for food…

I miss that place…you can never have enough duck tock in your life

31 A thinker 04.05.07 at 4:41 pm

They say that the older couples get, the more they look like each other.

These two have obviously been together for a while.

32 layla42 04.05.07 at 4:49 pm

cbf.com–I would *totally* buy a vase that looked like a duck with its hinder in the air! There’s gotta be one out there somewhere….

33 Martha in Washington 04.05.07 at 4:55 pm

My dentist has the other ends of these guys on his waiting room ceiling! I like my dentist.

34 kitty 04.05.07 at 5:15 pm

my ex-bunny and i had a sound effect for this duck butt action. i would love to introduce it to the c.o. dictionary…

behold:

BWANT

35 Merriwyth Calliope 04.05.07 at 5:35 pm

*sings the Duck Butt song…which pretty much is just repeating the words ‘duck butt’ in a sing-song voice like a five year old*

36 HelloKnitty 04.05.07 at 6:29 pm

Ducky’s got BACK!!

37 Erica 04.05.07 at 6:34 pm

Oh golly. Duck ‘tocks are the BESTEST!

38 R. Moore 04.05.07 at 6:35 pm

My school has been infested with ducks for years (the sister campus is infested with geese, oddly enough), and yet I have not once seen synchronized tocks.

Who’s been training the wildlife?!

39 Hazel 04.05.07 at 6:48 pm

OMG Paula…. You just Time Travelled me back to 1966… primary school…. we had to learn “Ducks’ Ditty”…. strange but interesting journey…..

Duck Tocks Rule….

45 Genn 04.06.07 at 1:56 am

OH! OH! OOOOOOOOOOOOH MY GOD! IF YOU HAVEN’T HAD BREAKFAST YET, THEN CAN I MAKE A SUGGESTION?

46 Genn 04.06.07 at 1:57 am

pancakes, man. P-A-N-C-A-K-E-S.

47 ask-god-a-question.com 04.08.07 at 3:47 am

their duck bums are vulnerable

48 anneelizmary 04.08.07 at 6:06 am

Hmmm.

‘Tocks, definitely.

Synchronized . . .–probably.

Cone of silence? Quite likely.

I’m with the majority, however. These are certainly duck butts. Opportunistically simultaneously viewed and snapped, but duck butts nonetheless. I have spoken. Now let me go up-end myself in this here pond.

49 Nina Andrews 05.12.07 at 6:51 pm

Nice duck tails!
