Search Party

“Stanley, you check the north shore. Louise, see if he fell asleep in the reeds again. Pauline, check the playground. Ooh, when I get my feathers on that boy, he’ll wish he was never hatched.”


Somebody’s getting a stern honking to, Alexandre.

  4. Guinea Peeg Lover says:

    Only one of the widdle duckies looks like he’s actually looking for him. The rest are all like, “No big deal, he’ll turn up someday.”

  5. Countess says:

    Clever little cygnet! Making his mom mad while being perfectly safe.

  6. SarahP says:

    Those are perfect cygnet names.

    “Party??? Where???” ;)

  8. Why get wet when you can hitch a ride?

    A joke my brother came up with as a kid:

    Q: Why did the stork give a rotten egg to the chickens?

    A: Because they wanted a rotten boy.

    This picture reminded me of that childhood joke.

    I love the one on the mom. He’s all “Balls to this swimming thing, that water’s COLD!”

    OMG I love the narrative – this is so very true with little ones floating around. What a beautiful photo with the duckling bun in momma’s wings.

    3 on the loose – grab one, spank one, and feed one, where is the other one ?. This mommy has her hands ( wings ) full.

    That’s some gorgeous mink stole baby is wearing.

  17. Jane says:

    Okay, too weird – the ad banner I saw run above swan photo was: “Cook raw meat and poultry to the correct temperature”.” (How do you do a shocked face icon where the hair raises up?)

    *throws shiny glitter confetti all over the place*

    (er…I’ll clean that up)

  27. Queen of Dork says:

    (I’m in the mod lounge. I’m cleaning up the glitter confetti in here)

    • Fird Birfle says:

      (while nobody’s lookin’, I’ve slipped around the corner into the Mod Lounge to help Q with the chores ….) ;)

      • Queen of Dork says:

        I’m still in the Mod Lounge cleaning up the confetti I threw all over the place in my exuberance (sp?). But the broom they provided me with works well and there’s really great pizza in here! As well as a table full of quiche!

  28. Vanilla says:

    I’m going to have to start commenting more so I can check out this mod lounge. It sounds great!

    • Queen of Dork says:

      It won’t take long. The Mod Lounge is great! You’ll love it! And Sharpy always busts us out after a while. :)
