A little duckie (frozen i might add) whispered in my ear that today is someones birthday.....so why not sing a little song for the birthday-boy: Hrrrmmmmh.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR DOUG........ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOOOOOO YOUUUU!!!! Hope you get to have a fantastic day and that the canadian hockey-team do well in the olympics. They shouldnt feel too bad about a silver-medal ya know. #;o) Lets just hope it doesnt come to pentalty-shots so that Peter Forsberg has to ridicule your goalie like he did on Corey Hirsh in -94....that later became a stamp in Sweden by the way, LOL.

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

So cool Andreas. And you got it right calling it a duck....(ahem...someone I know calls geese ducks)
Thanks heaps!!!!!
You know how the Duck thing started?
Italian family in-law members say the name Doug like Duck,Then my friends got hold of it and stared calling me "Duckie"
I used to have this buisness called DUC Construction
Do U See LOL
Anyways so boring..but is why I do the duck images.
We're going to be sick of the word soon.
Donald Holman used to shudder at ducks saying they were evil.

PS: Canada is going to have the Gold in the Hockey.

NAAAAH!!! Sweden will grab the gold....i hope. Im glad you like my little duckie....i first intended to use this shot of my fish. Doesnt it look like hes singing? LOL. When i grew up people used to call me Struts-berg instead of Stridsberg....and Struts is the swedish word for ostrich. Seems as if we both got stuck with bird-nickies huh? #;o) MAS4EVA for sure!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Doug !!!

We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---

Belated Happy Bday Doug! Sorry I missed it, I'm kinda out of it on the weekends. Let me buck the trend here and post something other than waterfoul, boats or sucky faced water breathers. I hope you had a great day and took the TIME to TOAST it properly! --Kort

LOL Kort! You do realize if Doug doesn't share that bottle, he might feel like a sucky faced water breather once he's finished with it! That wouldn't be very Duckie, now, would it? (Lovely image, by the way...) :0)

I kid-proofed my house but they STILL get in!!
