Need to borrow/rent live ducks (not a joke)
Hosting a house party. Need ducks for party game.
Ducks will be unharmed and I prefer the owner remain with the ducks to ensure proper care and safety to both my and your standards.
Compensation: invitation to party, free drinks for the entire night, or if you prefer small cash fee ($40?)
Details: ducks will be gently secured into passenger seats of model train set. origami hats made of 1, 5 and 10 dollar bills will be placed on each ducks head.
Guests will pay a dollar for an opportunity pick a hat from a ducks head as a prize as the train passes by them. One dollar per attempt (lap around tracks)
Serious inquiries only please.
Location: Austin

Obviously they've never been bitten by a duck. Not nearly as bad as a goose, but they're idiots.

Words fail me. I'm not going to go in to why it would not work, just stair in amazement at the fact that someone wants to strap live ducks to a model train and put little money hats on them.

Of the parties thrown in Austin, this one seems rather tame...
Very funny! I doubt the ducks would let you put gak on their heads, though. Or sit quietly in a moving train. Or let people put their hands near their faces without biting them.
Not very well thought out!

I'm really hoping this'll be what the mystery boxset/game from GW later this year will be.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I once saw a herd? gaggle? flock? of swans bring down a woman who had been grabbing them by the neck in an attempt to ride one for a photo op. The swan beatdown was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. It looked like that printer scene from Office Space, only with swans and an asian woman instead of a printer.

Swans look serene on the water because they know they are the baddest SOB on the water and nothing's going to dare mess with them.

Yea swans are badass. Nothing to raging wiener dogs but mean.

The cafe at the bottom of the library at the university I used to work at was next to a duckpond. So these ducks would come wandering in among the tables and it was all so cute and stuff, until you notice these ducks just pissing and gaking wherever they please... like the wild animals they are. It was a lot less charming down there once you noticed that.
I mean, I like that this craigslist guy is following his dream, no matter how flying rodent gak crazy his dream might be... its just that I'm fairly certain the day after his dream is going to involve scrubbing duck poo off of a lot of model trains.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

The ultimate problem for the ducks / geese of course is that they're really tasty. Bug me too much and you're dinner ducky duck.
