so i step outside of my cabin tonight (i live in the ozarks)...
and there must have been like a hundred ducks in the big pond that is just a football field east of me. obviously having a party (do ducks drink alcohol?) and carrying on like it is spring break!

quack, quack, QUACK!, Quack, quacK, quack... etc. laughing their asses off.

does anyone here speak duck? i would love to know what they are so happy about. hell, i wish i could join them...

9. i just stumbled upon this place...
as i ran away from society. america is abandoning farms. if you don't mind living a million miles away from everything it can be pretty cool.

this is the view out my kitchen window to that pond...




and them ducks party as we speak. i'll probably have duck puke all over my place come morning...

3. They were laughing
because duck season is over. Actually, their quacking was probably their version of "neener"! Welcome! Been to the Ozarks many a time, dad used to live there. It is a lovely place. Lucky you.

11. my husband is fluent in Duck, but he'd have to hear them ---
the written translation - quack quack quack - doesn't help. He also just told me he speaks only Latin-based Duck, not Chinese or German or .... Though he is fluent in Goose in almost all dialects.

Maybe if you get a recording?

18. Send 'em to a pond near me
Watch 'em bounce their stupid feathery butts off the ice. See if they find that funny.

:rofl:

(we don't have that many ducks. We have Canada Geese, just as loud, but sometimes have an attitude.)

:rofl:

You got any weed growing next to the pond? Ducks might like that.

19. I would have to actually hear it live.
I'm afraid from your terrible accent they are saying something about cheese and a toilet, and I doubt that's what they were celebrating.
