by Prongs on December 17, 2009

During its pre-market session this morning, markets were up almost 3%, exciting traders on the floor.

Looks like things are just ducky, Moriah L.

2 J. 12.17.09 at 11:33 am: If it quacks like a duck…

Wall Street’s new duck and cover strategy?
3 260Oakley 12.17.09 at 11:35 am: Market crash due to fowl play
4 jenben 12.17.09 at 11:36 am: awwww! someone here must have known it’s my birthday today, because you posed my favorite thing ever:

BEBEH DUCKEHS!!!!!

now time to celebrate my 21st by quacking like a duck all day.
5 Tony James 12.17.09 at 11:38 am: Pssst – Nasdaq doesn’t have a floor. We leave that to the old-fashioned folks down the block at the corner of Wall & Broad.
6 Katrina 12.17.09 at 11:39 am: 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.
7 SW 12.17.09 at 11:44 am: My little girl will love this picture. She LOVES duckies, can’t wait to show it to her this evening.
8 nismo 12.17.09 at 11:55 am: 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.
9 skippymom 12.17.09 at 12:06 pm: Will this post lure Patito Gigante out from the shadows? I miss her cutting wit.
10 Scott Thomas Photography 12.17.09 at 12:07 pm: I’d say the place went quackers but that would terrible of me. So, I won’t.
11 Theo 12.17.09 at 12:20 pm: Well that IS a relief.
12 Blondie 12.17.09 at 12:22 pm: 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.
13 Kathy 12.17.09 at 12:41 pm: Love the little sleeping one.
14 Rachael 12.17.09 at 12:45 pm: I see a teeny peenk tonguelet. Little balls of floof! *swoon*
15 LeeLeeMarie 12.17.09 at 12:47 pm: other possible captions…

You guys quack me up!

Hey who has thier foot in my quack!

quack quack…who’s there…
16 Jimbeaux 12.17.09 at 12:48 pm: 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 12.17.09 at 12:49 pm: 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 12.17.09 at 12:55 pm: 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 12.17.09 at 12:57 pm: @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 12.17.09 at 1:01 pm: @Metz, yes! I knew somebody would help me out with that one.
(hands her a Schblatts to help her warm up)
21 Illise 12.17.09 at 1:09 pm: Christmas shopping is always crazy and this duckies looks like they are tangled in a fight for a present

I love ducks so you just made my day
22 Katrina 12.17.09 at 2:06 pm: Camille- Yes, yes, a great game of duck, duck, duck! You go first!
23 Rooanne 12.17.09 at 2:14 pm: No clever comment here. I just came in to say —- squeeeeeeeee! duckies!!!
24 Lerrinus 12.17.09 at 3:23 pm: Happy birthday jenben, hope your day is just ducky!
25 Theresa 12.17.09 at 3:31 pm: [Downs Schblatt's and heads for Snickerdoodle Lounge to join carolling opossums]
26 victoreia 12.17.09 at 4:05 pm: Oh very punny, people!

(Wonder if they’re related to the Aflack! duck……)
27 victoreia 12.17.09 at 4:05 pm: p.s. @Theresa–caroling opossums? What’d I miss?
28 happycat 12.17.09 at 4:27 pm: 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!
29 catloveschanel 12.17.09 at 4:39 pm: Buy Low, Sell High!
30 Theresa 12.17.09 at 5:19 pm: @Victoreia, this classic from last year:

31 Queen of Dork 12.17.09 at 5:53 pm: Yellow puffs of floof!!
32 victoreia 12.17.09 at 6:45 pm: @Theresa: Eeep!
33 5^^now8ing 12.17.09 at 7:02 pm: 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.
34 Alex C. 12.17.09 at 9:42 pm: “Alright, which one of you goosed me?”

35 Daniel 12.18.09 at 12:25 am: This one calls for a beak-hance! That open beak with purple/pink tounge deserves it!
36 SoCalSis 12.18.09 at 7:13 am: 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!
