You've probably seen all those TV "build a race car" and "build a motorcycle" shows. You've seen Batman and the Batmobile and the Batcycle. Now there is an official Rod's Duck Farm Duckcycle.
Waddle they think of next???????????????

Glasses Duck
Once again, Rod's Duck Farm has come to the rescue with a solution for people who have no place to put their eyeglasses.
Glasses Duck is designed to be a holder for eyeglasses. Just mash on the bill (clothespin) and the back of the head (the subconscious mind) opens..... a glasses clamp - Wow!!!
You can even put bills or a pencil in the bill.
Since Glasses Duck is mounted on an exceptionally high quality pegboard base, the duck may sit on a table or be fastened to a wall, ceiling, or under the table.

Where Do the Wild Ducks Go? - by Steve Renfro
Where do the Wild Ducks go when they go away?
Do they travel at night when they fly away?
Where do the Wild Ducks go...
Do they take their babies, do they know the way?
Where do the Wild Ducks go...
How do you love me so well?
How do you love me...

How to Make a Watch Crystal
You've seen that sign next to bridges ... "Watch For Ice" .... Of course, that's a lie. I went to the road department with some ice and indicated my intention to take them up on the offer to trade a watch for ice. Now I wasn't expecting anything fancy, a cheap digital watch would be fine.
I was equally disappointed to discover that watch crystals aren't crystals. They are plastic ..... frequently acrylic plastic .... clear acrylic plastic. Researching the topic of clear plastics uncovered even more idiosyncracy. For plastics, "more clear" means "less crystalline".
I put a piece of acrylic plastic sheet into a deep fat fryer full of hot oil. That made the sheet soft. Then I took the sheet out and placed it over the end of a vacuum cleaner hose. The vacuum cleaner was turned on. It sucked the plastic a little way into the hose. I removed the plastic from the end of the hose. There was a little dome-shaped area formed into the plastic sheet. I thought, "Huh .... that looks like a watch crystal. Eureka!!!! I have discovered a pretty easy way to make domed faces for watches and clocks and cameos and stuff. I think I will tell somebody. I think I will tell the whole world. I will write it on the most noted blog in the universe .... Rod's Duck Farm."
But now I'm not so sure. I think maybe I will just write it on a filecard and stick it under the spare tire in the trunk of Leta Mae's car. I went to Wal-Mart and asked if I could get a crystal for my watch. The clerk said, "I'll check." Then he picked up the intercom and announced, "Crystal, customer service in the jewelry department."

Statistics: What does the red line mean?
I guess I'll have to add one of mine.
arrrggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
from: The Poetry of Rod's Duck Farm
Poetry: It is Meant to be Read Aloud
7/7/99
“Poor tree, it is mint,” Tubby Rat allowed.
For the wood bites the tongue,
Passing scents to the air.
Padre Frog croaks.
Toadal experience – warts.
Silent reeds do nothing.
See the worm raid quietly.
See the poor tree dust vanish.
Pear tree in the forest falls,
Emptiness without annoys.
“Some woods are just mint,” Tubby said.
Poetry. It is meant to be read aloud.
For the word bites the tongue,
Passing sense to the air -
Poetry, frog-croaks,
Total experience – words.
Silent reads do nothing.
See the worm read quietly?
See the poetry dust vanish?
Poetry, under-forced, falls.
Emptiness without a noise.
Some words are just meant to be said.

The One-legged Duck (Serve the Community)
Today the radio posted a question/McDonalds advertisement:
Does a one-legged duck swim in circles?
... and on Martin Luther King day ....
When will the the Ducks With Disabilities Act be enforced to provide liberty and justice for ALL ducks.
Today they almost have justice. Schools are closed in Northwest Arkansas due to the ice storm. Even so, below the ice on the frozen-over ponds is water. So it is not JUST ICE. Part of the pond is water, part of it is duck.
When they say "notice has been served" does that mean "not ice has been served" ????? Does that mean "duck has been served"?
If there was an "eat what you kill" policy in the military, who would be served?
Quack, Quack!!!
