IT DOESNT MATTER WHERE THEY ARE FROM,

IT MATTERS THAT THEY ARE HERE.

AND NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME AGAIN

I hope that they will exist for a long time

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Put them on my bill.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Where your giant inflatable doll wants them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

From China, probably

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

I suspect reddit's /u/fuckswithducks is involved

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

They come from rubber eggs, obviously.

There was only one iirc, but nature finds a way

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Maybe it was James Veitch again...

Looks like the work of Florentijn Hofman.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

That death remains unsolved.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

they came from hong kong obviously /s

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

How does one pull off a feat like this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Someone's job was to blow...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months 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 11 months ago (2 children)

Which came first: the duck or the egg?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I think it all started with goose egg.
