Duckskin Ducky

Name: Split the Uprights with DuckSkin
Interests: Playing quarterback and eating Kraft dinner.
Where to Find: Toys R Us (in Costa Mesa, California in 2003)
Brand: Assurance
Price: $2.98 US (amazing sale)

Hut!

I am in the process of cleaning out the basement (winter cleaning instead of Spring cleaning) and I was shredding a whole bunch of receipts when I came across a receipt for 20 Rubba Ducks that I bought. I got them on sale at a Toy R us in Costa Mesa, California (during a work business trip). I am sure I looked a bit suspicious as a 21 year old going through customs with a duffel bag full of rubber ducks (no the ducks were not filled with anything). It was a great deal and the most Rubba Ducks I ever bought at one time.

Anyway, Duckskin Ducky was one of the ducks in that set that I purchased. He was born on April 20 and has a gold football goal post on his tail. He is chocolate brown and his entire body is covered in bumpy football grip dots. He also has white football laces going up the front of him.

Poem on his tag:

“Get a grip, not one to fumble.

Prefers rubb’n around
at a good old game
in an outdoor stadium.

Hutt, Hutt! Touchdown
in every end-zone.

After all of the New Year’s
bowl games, it’s off to
Duckworld he goes.”

Enter my rubber ducky contest! There is only one week left to enter and I have only received two entrants so you have a really good chance of winning.

Super Bowl Ducks

Name: Super Bowl Ducks
Interests: We live for the cheerleading and playing football at the Super Bowl.
Where to Find: Zydeco Gifts
Brand: Assurance
Price: $3.95 Cdn Each

We have artsy eyes.

I don’t usually watch the Super Bowl, but when I’ve gone to Super Bowl parties, I am mostly there for the company, food and the commercials (in that order). I don’t mean to be rude to the Super Bowl Ducks, but neither of them look very smart. The Cheerleader Ducky has rather droopy drawn on eyes, but she has nice pink lips and a red scrunchie in her pony tail. She is used to cheering on cold days so that is why she is wearing a turtleneck under her cheer uniform. She is holding a blue pom pom in her left wing and a red pom pom in her right wing.

Football Ducky is wearing a red, white and blue uniform (American colours) and he has black smudges under his eyes too. Apparently these smudges serve to reduce the glare. I would think sunglasses would do the trick too or a visor on helmets but I guess that wouldn’t be very safe. He has the football in his left wing and he is about to be tackled.

Football Fanatic Ducky

Name: Football Fanatic Ducky
Interests: Watching, playing, living and breathing football.
Where to Find: Michaels
Brand: Long Key
Price: $3.00 Cdn

Go Edmonton Eskimos!

My aunt just informed me yesterday that Michaels has a cupid ducky and a Valentine’s devil ducky. I am scheduling a trip to Michaels this week. Get your duckies while they last. Football Fanatic Ducky is also from Michaels, but he is not the Michaels brand of ducky and looks like most generic ducks.

Football Fanatic Ducky is so into football that he asked a witch to turn him into a football. He has the grip of a football all over his body except for his wings and his beak. So, feel free to toss him around just as you would a football. A baseball ducky and a basketball ducky are also available at Michaels, but I already own quite a few basketball and baseball duckies so I didn’t purchase these two.
