Evolutionary disadvantaged waterfowl

What with the nature of the corkscrew-like wedding tackle the common canard carries, this here duck, with the fire hose appendage, has a pronounced unlikelihood of passing on his genes. Notably unattractive to the average hen, his future is limited to swimming, feeding, and knocking over those little targets at the carnival.

some Escape stuff, y'know like concepts or whatever.

There was the idea that ol' General Shanker would give new recruit Gary a tour of the facilities, area 51. They would end up at the Starbucks contained within and drink a few cappuccinos over mundane conversation. Then maybe get pick up one of those cards that provide a code so as one can download a free song on iTunes, something crappy seemingly being the criteria. It would have been some quality footage, that much is certain.
The thought that Shanker only spoke in descriptions of television programs garnered from his vast collection of TV Guides was an idea that never came to fruition. It was decided he would be more of a 'TV Week' kind of guy, as they had the Jumble in the back.
 And then this guy...

This is one of them.

propagation of unimaginative ideas

Shoulder deformity for the win. A prime candidate for pirate as a parrot's perch is one of the criteria.

Old man and a duck is an allegory for the desperate times we live in. As you can see here.

noise point

 This neighbor gal is waving at the mailman, the father of her second child. It's a secret.
She likes the smell of gasoline.

the one with the grapes dialogue


Penguinmaniac is an Industrial Waltz band from Darwin, Minnesota. They really pushed the boundaries for the title of their first album 'Penguinmaniac'.
