Graywarrior's problems with ducks can all be traced back to that bad batch of microdot in 1971. (Original Post) MiddleFingerMom Sep 2013 OP

But I've met more people that that's happened to than you (or me, for that matter) would believe.

A life event expressed mathematically as blotter + waterfowl = weird, weird shit.

I once lived, for the weekend, on a duck island in the park. Communing with them, sleeping them, speaking with them, becoming one with them. For years afterwards, ducks would often just walk up and sit in my lap. Furthermore, I know a woman who did the same thing, the same year, a thousand miles away from me. I know another guy who once took too much Krusty the Klown acid, kidnapped a goose from the park, and lived with it in his apartment for a week. Perfectly normal now, but the dude has an almost religious respect for goose. Draws them, has a goose tattoo, nods to random geese respectfully.

So you can laugh and make jokes all you want, but don't be dismissive of the profound spiritual encounters that microdot and waterfowl can bring about.

That kind of sums up my whole life.

You sound a little bit like my wife:
"You went to Burning Man fifteen years ago, you don't need to go again."
"Are you making puppets? When did you learn to make puppets? When did you learn how to sew?"
"Remember to give the dogs water before you leave the house. Oh, and remember to wear pants, too."

I like my wife: someone has to be responsible around this place!
