History brush up

Someone must have thought that i needed a history lesson cos suddenly i found myself in the railway museum. I do think things are a bit oversized compared to duck standards.



Fun stuff over there and i even tried to become a machinist (well that's how i saw it. Clearly the sign says otherwise but luckily i do not know how to translate that). I mean what could be better than a duck at the helm.




Thought i was a thrillseeker but did you ever see a moving train in a museum?





Some trains have evil eyes!



Yeps it was time for the duck in a coalmine routine...


After that the evil plot of the museum became clear: they want to exterminate all the nice duckies!



So after that i quickly took a train home!

Vododucks

Death is such a bad influence on Black, I mean they're scaring me now.
I walked up on em last night guess what I found them doing

.... NO NOT THAT!!

Well I'll let the pics do the talking









I swear that Death is one scary ducky

Geuzepop 2007

Now I would love to write something immensely interesting about my week but basically my owner is to tiered and in to much pain to do anything really so for this time I would like to let the pics do the talking.



Small note all pics where made the day before the geuzepop festival because on the day itself my owner was working, but with so many friends to play with I didn't get too bored

Dirty job

Wow, what a kind of dirty job is the one of being a photographer. Nouk-nouk took me with her last week. As she was doing the photographing, I had to amuse myself. And it was a looonnggg and rainy day... So I first took a bath in the mud:


And after that I thought it would be fun to take a look at whatever Nouk-nouk has been photographing all day:


After that some more mud-bathing. I guess this is what it feels like to visit Lowlands. Or at least something like this. I already was very mad at Nouk-nouk because I didn't even get the opportunity to visit the biiiigggg festival, but well, this was okay too. Only thing I missed were a lot of other duckies to hang around with.


Yeah yeah, I KNOW this is the same picture as the one above. But Nouk-nouk definitely didn't have the time to photograph me EVERY time I was taking a bath, don't you get that? She was WORKING, you know, WORKING.


And before we moved homewards some more watching the horses.

Last weekend was LOTS of fun together with Black, the-one-who-still-doesn't-have-a-name, Duckt and Anouck! Some pictures of that will be posted somewhere next week.

Lowlands 2007

My first festival and i made friends easily! Maybe they were so happy because of the Quechua's...



And when it got cold i found myself a nice warm spot.




Festival pleasures are not about music only.



Sometimes i feel like crap as you can see in the last picture. There it happened. The wheretheduck family almost lost one of its members when someone tried to steal me! Luckily my owner took notice and acted instantly. Running after the culprit he demanded to hand over the stolen duck - me - immediately.



Unfortunately his camera broke and all the other pictures, gone to the ducks...

LL 2007

Time to hit the road and go to the lowlands festival.
At first I thought it would be a good idea to drive the bus myself, but the rest didn't realy like the idea of a duck driving a bus... wonder why...???



Putting up your tent is pretty hard as a duck on youre own, but luckily i found a cute soft ducky to help me. nevver saw her again... too bad.



Friday morning, time to go to work to earn my free ticket, whoohoo.
All those people behind the bariers waiting to see Duckt Ape live... I hope...!



but first, work to do. we had to give people plastic cups to put their drinks in at the festival entrance. My job was to empty the garbage containers in this huge green machine. Mmmmm powertools!!!



After work it was time to realy start the party, so i went to the Lima tent, got on stage and started my performance. At least I gave it a try, becouse before I could say a word they kicked me of the stage... no respect for art I tell you, no respect at all!



when something like that happens there is only one thing to do ofcourse.



You get pretty dirty en exhausted from all the partying and drinking so I went to the sauna on the other side of the lake. It was realy nice and quiet there. And a realy nice view of the festival terain.



Dont realy understand why humans have to make such a big mess...




And then, mondaymorning. Time to go home, too bad becouse it was a realy nice festival. But i'm sure ill be there next year.

Holiday (not Eden but close!)

Yeps last week i travelled far without a clue where i was going. It turned out to be great. Eight days without rain and during the day the temperature was always above 30 degrees. I felt like a duck in heaven. Not that i have the faintest idea how that should feel but nonetheless. My markings have gone completely now. Probably not (sea)waterproof.
I did mention the device attached to my head earlier. Found out that because of it i cannot float in the graceful way common to my kind. Instead i find myself always in a diving position when in the water. Did someone yell "duck"?



Told them i wouldn't need that safey thing and besides it does not fit.

The weather was great but don't get me started about the food. I could rave for weeks about that. Table arrangements could make you feel a bit unlucky but i am not superstitious. Especially not after a threw some salt over my shoulder, er, wings!



We all made it back alive and found our home in perfect order until some policeman brought to our attention crowbar markings on the kitchen window. So before getting ready for Lowlands, tomorrow yes yes, we had to take some extreme security measures.
I'm going to bed now and have some sleep because tomorrow rocks (or so i'm told)!

New Arrival

Hey hey,

This is Nouk-Nouk speaking from Duckt Ape's new home! So here's his new owner:

hey everybody, Duckt just came flying in. Haven't got a clue how he did that, with the big headphones and all. he probably didn't hear a thing on the way over.
Curious what kind of music he listens to. But i think ill find out on Lowlands.



Look he already packed his bag :)

greetz Frank

I'm an artist!!

Look at this!!
I took a pic of purple and it turned out great!!
She looks so hot I really feel she has a future in Modeling (the camera just loves her, it shows)


This week my owner didn't feel like doing much so not many pics where taken :(
But I'm sure she'll post more soon

Wow, I feel like a model!

Yes yes yes yes yes, I know what I want to become as soon as I'm a grown-up duck! I wanna be a model, I wanna be a model! Black suggested to take some pictures of me with her absolutely wonderful camera (for the profs, it's a real Minolta!). Look at this, Black and me in action!


I wonder when Black will post the picture she took, I'm soooooooooo curious!

new user

We have a new duck owner but he hasn't signed on just yet
maybe he doesn't get how it works so for once!! ONLY

I will post the pictures for him
so here goes

slow week

The weather this week has been quite bad so we stay in for most of the week

I did some reading


and -MANI- showed me her favourite online game, I played it too and was really good at it,
Ik really kicked ducky butt on it.
and in the evenings I hung out with -MANI- which is not such a bad thing cause her sofa is like the most cosy one in the whole wide world !

Giant sandbox!

Whoohoo, I did some sightseeing today and after a bit of walking and resting and some sort-of flying (well, I tried to, but I'm afraid I'm not really good at it) I ended up at some kind of giant sandbox. That must have been the Sahara I've heard of before! Okay, enough talking for today. I'm way too tired of walking in the Sahara to tell you more than this few short lines. Just check this out:

Bad ducks go everywhere (else)?

Phew! Had a few busy days. On friday Kaboem! took me on a trip to the south to meet his mom. He's not italian at all but still thought it would be nice te meet some other people from the family. I had a nice view on the road sitting there on the dash. Only the music! My god i still don't understand why he had to play Eat static all the way. One line in this almost lyricless music was quite interesting for us ducks: "we're not dropping out here but infiltrating and taking over!"



Cos' Kaboem! didn't want me to get lonely he found me a new friend. You can see he is not really my kind of bird but still really soft and friendly. I like him.



His mother was quite delighted to see us although i didn't understand the frown on her face when she commented: "ah playing with ducks again my son". The house had lots of interesting stuff for a duck and soon i was totally absorbed in two magnifying devices. One day i will be a big duck too!



This is just more proof that i am real.



I did not get much rest and on saturday there was another surprise: Castlefest! Well i could tell you stories of all the things i saw, did, eat and so on but after the drink i kinda lost interest and i did not want to leave the green fairy at all!

Here I am again!

As Black already told you, we went shopping to find some nice bro's and sisters. After that, ALL those little duckies went home with ME! As you can see, it was a really nice duck-party in Nouk-nouk her bag.


Nouk-nouk also bought a new "best" friend for me. He's called (I'm) Dead, and he looks pretty interesting... I could even fall in love with him, if he wasn't so... Quiet. He's way too quiet for me 'cause I really-really-really need someduckie talkative. After a while of not saying anything to me, I started wondering whether he would really be dead or not. So I climbed all over him to see what he would do.


Yeah. This guy is definitely as dead as a duck can possibly be. But maybe Black likes him... I guess we should give that a try.
