With a rubber ducky that big they must be expecting Godzilla to come take a bath.

My little sister had the original Sesame street album when I was a teen. That song is infectious. If you can keep from singing when Rubber Ducky is playing, "then you are way too grown up and need to cut back on cable news."

I have a thing for rubber ducks. I have a lot of them (odd ones, Shakespeare duck, Buddha duck, etc). When I had my own regular sized bathroom it was done in rubber duckies, everything had rubber duckies on it.
Now my son plays with them. I also used to put them into art and weird situations. Some are NSFW. Was working on a Kennedy series when it got old.   http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...zenrage/Ducks/ One of them can't be put on photobucket. |
