~ DUCK!!! ~

My mom used to buy me a special gift from the Orvis magazine every Christmas.  Slowly but surely she was building me a complete set.   It is fabulous.  No one I know has one.  And Orvis doesn’t make them anymore, so they have to be going gangbusters in value.  Not that I would ever ever ever sell them.  Man, now that I think about it, I probably ought to insure them.

Here they are:

They are the bottom halves of a duck family, just hanging out as they swim and feed…..on the ceiling.

I love the way people take a second look when they first spy it.

It never fails to make people laugh.  As it should.  As it is intended to.

I don’t know why Orvis stopped making them.  I would have bought more.

Maybe they could expand to other ceiling water feeders, like, …oh, I don’t know…..how about a moose head?  Wouldn’t that be cool?  His legs and feet could be dangling, and his head could be hanging down munching a piece of river grass.  How cool would that be?

I tell ya, I have a million ideas like these.  I don’t know why I’m not independently wealthy yet.

The guy with the “Sham Wow” not only made a heck of a fortune selling that stupid washcloth-on-steroids, but he is also famous.  He’s famous and rich, and here I am with all these ideas that are WAY better than that, and I can’t even afford to get my moustache lasered off.

There is no justice in this world.
