Hold my rubber ducky, you're the one

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IT DOESNT MATTER WHERE THEY ARE FROM,

IT MATTERS THAT THEY ARE HERE.

AND NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME AGAIN

Look, where do you expect me to put my giant inflatable ducks?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Put them on my bill.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Where your giant inflatable doll wants them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

From China, probably

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, you see, when mother giant inflatable duck and father giant inflatable duck love each other very much...

What?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I suspect reddit's /u/fuckswithducks is involved

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We don't know where do they come from but do we know where are they going?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Where do they come from, rubber duck Joe?

Doesn't Toronto and other Canadian cities do this? Did they have ducklings?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I think they came from Canada. I mean they keep exporting their damn geese to us too.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

They come from rubber eggs, obviously.

How do you become a famous New Zealand athelete?

Looks like the work of Florentijn Hofman.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Sorry, I was taking a bath and they got away from me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How does one pull off a feat like this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Someone's job was to blow...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I mean it's Maine in a harbor in a small-mid sized town for Maine. You sneak out at night and if you're even close to stealthy and past last call it's pretty easy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Which came first: the duck or the egg?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think it all started with goose egg.

Oh no, this again. Didn't some one murder the last giant rubber duck that escaped captivity?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That death remains unsolved.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
