Mo’ ‘tocks, Mo’ problems

by Meg on April 5, 2007

WHAT is going ON!?

Could there be MORE duck ‘tocks on this site today? [Say in Chandler voice]

Mo_tocks

The answer is none! None more ‘tocks!

Thanks (I think) to verushka26, lover of waterfowl, and who took this in Vancouver, B.C.

2 EveI sub 04.05.07 at 2:58 pm

I submitted too! :D

In 1963, the birds attacked people. This generation just moons people.

It’s backfiring. We like it.

4 jojo 04.05.07 at 3:00 pm

thats tocking awesome!

5 cutebabyfix.com 04.05.07 at 3:03 pm

WTD? Is Tocksday, or what? I think we need some clarification here. Please?

6 cutebabyfix.com 04.05.07 at 3:05 pm

Cause if it *IS* Tocksday, that would be spectockular.

7 Heather S. 04.05.07 at 3:13 pm

Actually if Chandler said it… it would be emphasized like this… “Could there BE … anymore duck ‘tocks on this site today???”

8 DLT 04.05.07 at 3:14 pm

heather s., you beat me to it. we can’t be mis-representin’ the bingster here!

(did i just type that? really?)

*skips off*

9 you guys r silly 04.05.07 at 3:15 pm

Chandler would put the emphasis on the word “be”, not the word “more”. THAT’s the way he’d be tockin’ about it…&:o)

10 Lemur 04.05.07 at 3:15 pm

Did you know they sell duck ‘tock decoys? I keep considering asking for them for my birthday, so I could have ducktocularity all the time, in my very own house.

Duck ‘tocks on the mantle! Duck ‘tocks on the kitchen floor! Duck ‘tocks in the bathtub! Yaaaay!

11 you guys r silly 04.05.07 at 3:17 pm

oh my god! (said ALSO in Chandler’s voice…)
Heather S., DLT and ME — GREAT MINDS! &:o) (or addled minds…can’t tell fer sure…)
* skips off with DLT *
&:o)

12 you guys r silly 04.05.07 at 3:19 pm

Lemur — it’d be even funnier to have a duck tock decoy floatin’ in your toilet…&:o)

13 jen 04.05.07 at 3:20 pm

“do these feathers make my butt look big?”

14 Chris 04.05.07 at 3:22 pm

Ducks do not have buttocks, they have tail feathers.

15 you guys r silly 04.05.07 at 3:24 pm

For the purpose of THIS conversation, Chris — birds got tocks.

16 ceejoe 04.05.07 at 3:24 pm

well, geez, chris – the tail feathers have to be attached to *some*thing…

17 Subhangi 04.05.07 at 3:34 pm

Yay, more tocking ducks! I mean, ducking tocks. Aw duck it, I’m outta here.

18 paula 04.05.07 at 3:37 pm

I love all you people!!! I can’t stop giggling……..it’s tocktaculastic!

19 DKN 04.05.07 at 3:57 pm

20 Linda 04.05.07 at 4:09 pm

tock tock tock reminds me of a clock oh darn I have to go to work

21 layla42 04.05.07 at 4:16 pm

“Moooon River…full of ducky butts…”

(I don’t know any more words to that song…but it fits!)

22 Laurie C 04.05.07 at 4:17 pm

“Tocks” is great, but I just love the term “duck butts”.

23 Andrea 04.05.07 at 4:24 pm

But if it were a chandler voice, the emphasis would be on BE not MORE ;)

Very cute duckies, though

24 jeanne 04.05.07 at 4:36 pm

They look like synchronized swimmers! Priceless!

25 useta hada kitteh 04.05.07 at 4:37 pm

I have a song from “The Music Man” going through my head now. It was originally about chickens, but ducks work okay, too. I’m changin’ the spellin’ (obviously). The ladies of the town sing it as a background for the male quartet, while the Professor is trying to distract ‘em all…

Peck a little, tock a little,
Peck peck peck,
Tock a lot, tock a little more…

26 janipher 04.05.07 at 4:39 pm

if that was supposed to be in a chandler voice, the “BE” should be capitalized! .. you put the right em-PHA-sis on the wrong sy-LLAB-le (said like ben stiller — i think it was him who said it)

27 jen 04.05.07 at 4:41 pm

do i see the ducky’s butt quack? (sorry. had to say it.)

28 A thinker 04.05.07 at 4:43 pm

…and bright orange hocks!

(to rhyme with ‘tocks).

+, BWAHAHA Deckard Canine!

29 Martha in Washington 04.05.07 at 4:47 pm

Cheep cheep cheep
tock alot peck a little more ;)

30 Martha in Washington 04.05.07 at 4:51 pm

useta- we love that movie at our house. Both of my sons play the trombone (Seventy-six Trombones lead the big parade!)and my oldest was in a community theater production of it. Thanks for reminding me, we haven’t watched it in a while.

31 Alice Shortcake 04.05.07 at 5:12 pm

Careful, folks. We must not let our appreciation of animal ‘tocks pass the fuzzy boundary of anal fixation.

32 ThreeCatNight 04.05.07 at 5:13 pm

And yet more ducktocks…
Have they no shame?
(Guess not)

33 DKN 04.05.07 at 5:19 pm

Along side the random “music man” theme:

Tocks, oh we got ‘tocks,
Right here in Qte City!
With a capital “T”
That rhymes with “D”
And that stands for Ducks,
That stands for Docks.
We’ve surely got ‘tocks!
Right here in Qte City,
Right here!

34 Rachel 04.05.07 at 5:44 pm

Hahahaha, looks like everyone already beat me to the Chandler correction.

35 Golden 04.05.07 at 6:11 pm

Could there BE anymore Chandler corrections?

Love this! Love the ducktocks. We had Toesday and now Tocksday!

36 maltese parakeet 04.05.07 at 6:31 pm

love the “none more” spinal tap reference.

37 R. Moore 04.05.07 at 8:18 pm

Eee! You guys start talking about Moon River AND The Music Man?

I have both the Breakfast at Tiffany’s and The Music Man soundtracks. I’m a total geek. But if you ever have to walk late at night in an iffy area of town, singing standards and musicals will keep you safe. Especially if you sing as well as I do :P (Actually, Poisoning Pigeons in the Park also keeps the baddies away–they think you’re worse off than them!)

38 Layla42 04.05.07 at 11:43 pm

R. Moore–Poisoning Pigeons in the Park?? Are you kidding? *laughs*
I love that song!
Throw in a little Masochism Tango and you’ve got yourself a party!

39 Kim 04.06.07 at 12:42 am

Great, now I will be singing random bits of “The Music Man” all night… this could get really embarrassing! I’m not even going to TRY explaining… :D

40 carmen 04.06.07 at 1:38 am

more ‘tocks!!! ackkkkkkkk

41 Tor 04.06.07 at 3:28 am

Ducktock, oh we got ducktock,
Right here in River City!
With a capital “D”
That rhymes with “B”
And that stands for Butt,
That stands for duckbutt.

42 candycane 04.06.07 at 4:18 am

soooo proshly cute
love it dalllling

43 Aubrey 04.06.07 at 4:42 am

Now this is what I call a real ducking pond.

44 inge 04.06.07 at 8:48 am

The British call this “bottoms up” !
P.S. I’m no Brit,but I do like the expression!

45 acelightning 04.06.07 at 9:33 am

What the duck? Suddenly everyone’s going for a 1950s DA hairstyle? (No, children, that does *not* stand for “District Attorney”!) What will be the tail end of this tale?

46 tulasi-priya dasi 04.06.07 at 2:43 pm

Duck ‘tock poetry, from WAY back(1908!):

`Ratty,’ said the Mole suddenly, one bright summer morning, `if you please, I want to ask you a favour.’

The Rat was sitting on the river bank, singing a little song. He had just composed it himself, so he was very taken up with it, and would not pay proper attention to Mole or anything else. Since early morning he had been swimming in the river, in company with his friends the ducks. And when the ducks stood on their heads suddenly, as ducks will, he would dive down and tickle their necks, just under where their chins would be if ducks had chins, till they were forced to come to the surface again in a hurry, spluttering and angry and shaking their feathers at him, for it is impossible to say quite ALL you feel when your head is under water. At last they implored him to go away and attend to his own affairs and leave them to mind theirs. So the Rat went away, and sat on the river bank in the sun, and made up a song about them, which he called

`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!

Slushy green undergrowth
Where the roach swim–
Here we keep our larder,
Cool and full and dim.

Everyone for what he likes!
WE like to be
Heads down, tails up,
Dabbling free!

High in the blue above
Swifts whirl and call–
WE are down a-dabbling
Up tails all!

`I don’t know that I think so VERY much of that little song, Rat,’ observed the Mole cautiously. He was no poet himself and didn’t care who knew it; and he had a candid nature.

`Nor don’t the ducks neither,’ replied the Rat cheerfully. `They say, “WHY can’t fellows be allowed to do what they like WHEN they like and AS they like, instead of other fellows sitting on banks and watching them all the time and making remarks and poetry and things about them? What NONSENSE it all is!” That’s what the ducks say.’

Probably no one will see this cuz it’s so late – but these duck shots reminded me of a post card I bought 17 years ago in Paris. I had to find it and scan it…you can see it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51969267@N00/448740406/
