Looks like things are just ducky, Moriah L.

    BEBEH DUCKEHS!!!!!

    now time to celebrate my 21st by quacking like a duck all day.

    Pssst – Nasdaq doesn’t have a floor. We leave that to the old-fashioned folks down the block at the corner of Wall & Broad.

    Happy Birthday jenben, it’s KiIler’s Daddy’s birthday today, too! Happy Birthday to all the 12/17ers out there! Beethoven missed your day by just one!

    I had forgotten how much I love to look at bebeh duckies.

    My little girl will love this picture. She LOVES duckies, can’t wait to show it to her this evening.

    I would love to feel baby ducky’s soft fuzzy head, but the last time I tried to pet a duck, it quacked in protest.

    Will this post lure Patito Gigante out from the shadows? I miss her cutting wit.

  10. I’d say the place went quackers but that would terrible of me. So, I won’t. ;)

  11. Theo says:

    Well that IS a relief.

    DUCKIES (and puns) GALORE!!!

    My family used to own a hatchery in the DC area. I remember as a kid getting to go up there and see all the babies hatch. I miss that place. It’s home to an organic landscaper now. I think the original building is still there… When the school kids got the eggs and incubator in their class rooms, it all came from our hatchery. Was a really neat place.

    Love the little sleeping one.

    other possible captions…

    You guys quack me up!

    Hey who has thier foot in my quack!

    quack quack…who’s there…

  16. Jimbeaux says:

    Yay! I was having a horrible (couple of) day(s), and these cute li’l duckies were just what I needed to put me in a better mood!

  17. skippymom says:

    In some way this reminds me of the Schblatts Beer kitten post. The one with his mouth open could be saying, “Friends, has your nesting area been feeling crowded lately?”
    But then I don’t know what he would offer as a solution….

  18. Camille says:

    I’d suggest a game of Duck Duck Goose, but I think it’s too crowded in there to make a circle. Plus, no geese. So let’s just play Duck Duck Duck.

  19. Metz says:

    @skippymom, he’d suggest getting them all drunk on Schblatts so that they’d all pass out on the floor and he’d have a lovely fuzzy carpet to walk on.

    There now that that’s out of the way, GASP GASP FUZZY YELLOW BEBBEHS WIF PEENK BEAKS & EYE CAPSULES (PLINK PLINK) & BEADY EYES!!! OH MY!!!
    The all look so warm and cozy. My office is freezing and I so want to DUCK and cover with them!

  20. skippymom says:

    @Metz, yes! I knew somebody would help me out with that one.

    Christmas shopping is always crazy and this duckies looks like they are tangled in a fight for a present

    I love ducks :D so you just made my day

  22. Katrina says:

    Camille- Yes, yes, a great game of duck, duck, duck! You go first!

  23. Rooanne says:

    No clever comment here. I just came in to say —- squeeeeeeeee! duckies!!!

  24. Lerrinus says:

    Happy birthday jenben, hope your day is just ducky! ;-)

  26. victoreia says:

    Oh very punny, people!

    (Wonder if they’re related to the Aflack! duck……)

  27. victoreia says:

    p.s. @Theresa–caroling opossums? What’d I miss?

  28. happycat says:

    skippymom…so how did your first visit to the Snickerdoodle Lounge go? Swimmingly, I hope! They serve great quackers with beer; all kinds of both; and their floor show (The Car-ol-ing Possums) is awesome! Cheers!

  33. 5^^now8ing says:

    Metz & skippymom – what, are you guys from Milwaukee, too?

    Theresa — who let the caroling possums in??! The one in my back yard the other night couldn’t carry a tune.

  35. Daniel says:

    This one calls for a beak-hance! That open beak with purple/pink tounge deserves it!

  36. SoCalSis says:

    Theresa, that was one sneaky trick, slipping that link in there when folks are all sleepy and still working on their first cuppa joe… WHICH is NOT all over my keyboard (but it was a very close thing). Dum de dum dum dum, checking CO for my morning fix, cute ducks, dum de dum, what’s this link, OMG OPOSSUMS!!! If I could do the googlie eyes like Victoreia I’d be eeping right along with her.

    Happy Last Day of School, CO!
