no worries, rdd, we'll be here when you get back. of course your comment about "adventures" makes me want to run out, pick up a paper and try to figure out what you're into this time!

kisshugs

Wednesday, 2 March 2005 - 2:34 PM CST

I bet you went to see your "parole officer" again...

I hope you're doing something like helping look for that little girl that's missing, or perhaps you're helping find some new serial killer, or maybe you're engrossed in the arraignment of "BTK" in Kansas...or maybe it's the Michael Jackson case. It doesn't matter, no need to apologize, we all know that you have a life. And, you post way, way more often then Rance ever did. So, in a way, you're ahead of schedule. Hope to hear from you in the near future. (And to hear what adventure you're onto now).

RDD--

Your loyal audience will be here whenever you can make it back. Bon champs with your endeavor

Wednesday, 2 March 2005 - 3:54 PM CST

It would be interesting to see what your guess was...

Thanks for being so understanding.

Sincerely,
RDD

Wednesday, 2 March 2005 - 3:56 PM CST

There may be a parole office in my very near future....LOL, jk

The BTK has captured my attention, but only for entertainment purposes. No use wasting my time when the killer has already been caught. Michael Jackson...insert puke icon here. Really, all those involved in that fiasco seem to be equally disturbed.

Thanks, as well, for being understanding.

Sincerely,
RDD

You are too kind amuserato. Sometimes I get the feeling I know you...(

Wednesday, 2 March 2005 - 4:19 PM CST

RDD,
We'll be here whenever you get the time to update us. Good luck with your latest adventure. It wouldn't happen to have anything with Terry Schiavo's divorce arguments, would it? I've been thinking about you since the latest news on that case has come out, and wondering what took her family so long to try getting a divorce...

Wednesday, 2 March 2005 - 4:54 PM CST

i'm going to guess the judge whose mother and husband were killed. ample info to investigate... her past cases might be available online. just guessing...

Rubber Duckie was caught in a sudsy tub with Dana Carvey and is now in "damage control" mode.

Wednesday, 2 March 2005 - 7:03 PM CST

Now THAT was funny.

Love ya Bill. See you next time you're in town. (<;

Wednesday, 2 March 2005 - 7:04 PM CST

Thanks for the wishes labsnabys. I'm gonna need it...

Thursday, 3 March 2005 - 8:18 AM CST

RDD--

I should be so lucky!

Thursday, 3 March 2005 - 9:30 AM CST

Why don't you stop playing and start really doing some work that would really matter. But, remember to make sure you have all identifiers of you and your *deputized brainiacs* erased from being found (ie.) take down photos of random shots of where you live, etc.:

HERE is what I had in mind:

http://www.unsolved.com/0225-Serialkiller.html

Thursday, 3 March 2005 - 7:26 PM CST

Zounds! This site used to be entertaining when the originator was here. Now it appears to be a forum for those that wish to be noticed but whose local publicity lacks the punch they need to achieve fame and (mis)fortune.

The cry goes out, "where is the Rance? Return to the fray and all may be well".

'The Smell of Fear'? The smell of sycophants.

Thursday, 3 March 2005 - 7:57 PM CST

Hey RDD -

I have been gone way longer so don't feel bad. I have about 40 days worth of pages to catch up on, unless somebody can give me a readers digest. This whole real life thing sure takes up a lot of time.

Hugs
LM

Thursday, 3 March 2005 - 8:44 PM CST

Unfortunate for you, and possibly many others, Rance doesn't live here anymore.

Sincerely,

RDD

Thursday, 3 March 2005 - 11:51 PM CST

If RDD is a sycophant then Rance must have been feeling a bit sycophantish since he gave the sight over to RDD. Maybe he saw a scary sycophantom from the past, being a "celebrity" and all he must see those all the time. You know, bad movies that come back to haunt the paparazzi hunted. Or perhaps old relationships that come back to remind "actuers" of all the bad cases of sycophantlis they caught from the ex missus fancy pants they had a fling with.
Not that Rance is even a celebrity, word on the blogck is that he's really Burt Reynolds kid's nanny. Or maybe it was David Hasselhoff's pool man. No, wait, it was Linda Hamilton's yoga instructor...but since nobody's heard from him since long days gone by, why the complaining? It's seems that nasty words are easier to say when there's that good ol' safety belt built in to the juicy tastes of anonymity.

So I guess that would make this person with the word "poo" in their name, a snipe: "to attack a person or a person's work with petulant or snide criticism, esp. anonymously or from a safe distance."

We happen to like this venue with or without dear ol' Rance! I will admit I'm missing your next installment of SOF~ I feel as if you have left us all hanging, anticipating... that is so not fair! *sniff

Don't enjoy your adventure too much and leave us with a half a story to mull over!!

Hope all is well ~

I love you Bubba.

I hope you've had time to catch up now. (<;

Friday, 4 March 2005 - 12:38 PM CST

DUCK-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

More, please. Or else I'll have to start singing.

Loud.

And nobody wants that...

Friday, 4 March 2005 - 3:08 PM CST

ahhhhhh. Back at you, RDD.

Friday, 4 March 2005 - 3:24 PM CST

Wait, does this mean we're going steady?

Let us know if you need anyone to throw you an obscure essay or question to chat about like: "Who is everyone's favorite celebrity to do an impression of?" People could say "Oh, I enjoy showing off my Tara Reid impression when I'm three sheets to the wind at the local tavern." (I just made that up, but it sounds fun) Or maybe, "What's your favorite incident that ever happened on COPS?" I love that show, so funny. Something like that, just give us something to write to each other about or we'll forget each other's lovely... typing skills. (Couldn't say faces, or smells, or hair).

Actually, I've just thought of a good question, that has nothing to do with movies or acting...hmmm.

-Bubba

Friday, 4 March 2005 - 3:42 PM CST

hey trillian, let me know when and i'll join ya! first i'm gonna hafta have a few more cosmos... and since i probably don't know the words, we'll just sing our own little songs... this could be fun. ya see, my hearings going, so i get reeeal loud. my grandgirls and i always belt out the theme to that 70's show (and then we laugh), so i got my tune!

kisshugs!

Friday, 4 March 2005 - 3:50 PM CST

You said Poo.
LOL

Friday, 4 March 2005 - 4:49 PM CST

Well, you asked for it...
Must be 'cause I'm working late on Friday, I'm singing "Sloop John B"

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I WANNA GO HOME!

I vote that we give RDD 24 hours, then we start finishing her story ourselves, ala PTI.
Who's with me?
No?
Not the same?
Ok, fine.
Bubba's first question- favorite celebrity to do an impression of.
No good.
Can't think of any.
How about favorite character to do an impression of? Have to be Inigo Montoya. "You keepa using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Why, yes, I have in fact lost my mind. Thanks for noticing.

Saturday, 5 March 2005 - 7:45 PM CST

RDD, I've been away since just before you posted that statement, but you know your fans will always be here... and that we appreciate the fact that you are entitled to have a life! As desperate as we are to read the rest of TSOF, we'll just have to learn to be patient little bunnies until you are able to return. BE SAFE!

Bubba, I'm not very good at imitations so I don't tend to copy the celebs much - even on the few occasions that my alotted two or three drinks do get the better of me ;)... but I think if I wanted to be able to imitate/look like any particular celebrity when drunk (or sober), I'd have to say that I wouldn't mind looking like Kylie Minogue in hotpants - and her singing ability wouldn't go astray either - then I could twirl around on the dancefloor singing "I'm spinning around, move outta my way... " until I either collapsed or threw up - whichever came first!

Trillian - you sing your loudest, and the rest of us can do the same... maybe we can scare enough neighbours into activating the police who we can then send to aide RDD in her adventures ensuring that she comes back soon, and safe!

Gnomie :)

Saturday, 5 March 2005 - 7:48 PM CST

PS... Trillian - your comment that you've lost your mind, brings to mind a saying my father has:

Insanity doesn't run in our family - it gallops.

LOL

I like it better now.

Monday, 7 March 2005 - 2:08 AM CST

Has anyone noticed that all the ads on here are for rubber duckies?

There can be only one Rubber d Duckie!

Gnomie.

Monday, 7 March 2005 - 10:16 AM CST

Funny, Gnomie, all the ads on mine are currently for Kylie Minogue.

I got very excited last night- I was flipping channels, and came across some "real crime" drama. Tuned in just in time to hear somebody say something like :"Attention all units, our source tells us that the suspect, SOG, has just been spotted entering the *mumble mumble* wharehouse"

Lightbulb over my head exploded as I thought "Three letter all capitals name, non-police help, wharehouse- gotta be RD's story! I'm finally gonna find out what happened!"

Then it went off on some plot about terrorists, bombs, arrowheads- and the informant/helper was a 12 year old boy. Guess it wasn't. Oh, well.

Monday, 7 March 2005 - 10:25 AM CST

Who are you rootin for in the big dance?

I would be very interested in seeing your bracket...

Monday, 7 March 2005 - 10:26 AM CST

Although I have enjoyed your singing, Trillian, I will hopefully be back this afternoon with a new entry in the SOF.

Hello. I'm not a Rubber Duckie, but I play one on TV.

You may have noticed I've been gone for awhile. That's because I've been summoned to testify in the Michael Jackson affair.

I can't complain: The pay's good, and you oughta see the videos! Wow!

Did you know Michael is flat "down there," like a Ken Doll? I think he may be an alien.

More later.

Tuesday, 8 March 2005 - 1:57 PM CST

Busy writing more garbage for television, eh, Hpoonis? You're paid well, I'm sure, but the stink is in your clothing.

Tuesday, 8 March 2005 - 5:01 PM CST

RDD
Udate please. It has been a week and I have forgotten the story......

Tuesday, 8 March 2005 - 10:46 PM CST

Well, obviously they borrowed from RDD's story and then took a very big creative licence to change it so that no-one could sue them for plagarism! (LOL).

Sorry about the Kylie Minogue ads! ;)

Gnomie.

Wednesday, 9 March 2005 - 7:10 AM CST

The season finale was good, RDD, but waiting for the new season to start is killing me.

Wednesday, 9 March 2005 - 11:38 AM CST

Those bubbles were au natural...if you get my drift. (<;

Wednesday, 9 March 2005 - 1:29 PM CST

Since Rubber is obviously the BTK someone needs to take the helm. Where the hell is Rance?

Wednesday, 9 March 2005 - 4:01 PM CST

Question of the Day:

What's the weirdest way you've ever been discriminated against?

Recently, I was told that I couldn't get a promotion because I'm not a parent...even though I've worked where I'm at for two years and all the parents and kids there know me..

"I'm sorry you can't have this job, you've never pooped a baby out and then felt the joys of breast feeding."

"But, I want to poop a baby out and have it nibble on my mammaries..I'm just not ready, I mean, I work here so there's no way I could afford something that costs more then my unused college education."


Anyone else been discriminated against in a weird way?

Okay, Duckie it's been quite long enough, either you write something, or maybe even let us do a never ending story until you come back, or I'll stop breathing. I swear I will...

-Bubba

Thursday, 10 March 2005 - 11:45 AM CST

Amen Bubba!
I miss Rubber, I'm beginning to feel like a concerned parent although I too have not yet had the 'joy' of pooping out a baby let alone having them nibble on my mammaries!

As for being discriminated against, I was taking a class where I was the only caucasion person in a class of 18. The class was for Elem Education. We were to find a current topic of interest that affected students and education and present on it in class. At that time (years ago) the issue of Charter Schools and Educational Vouchers was very hot (I'm in Ohio). Well,you would swear I killed their first born!

Here I thought ok.. I'm in a class in the poorest state in the union surrounded by people that are on government assistance, governement grants and student loans doing the right thing by furthering their education.

Why on earth would they get so ANGRY regarding a program that is intended to offer the same government support to their children as they are currently enjoying??

To this day I am still perplexed by this. Maybe I'll never know since I have not experienced discrimination before and only have this particular instance to remind me of how hostile it can be.

Good Topic! I nominate you to be our Guest Blogger till Duckie returns to the nest!
Ciao~

Just wanted to invite everyone in So. Cal. to see Irrelevant, the most interesting musical group you'll ever see, play at the Lake Arrowhead Village Center Stage this Sunday March 13 from 12-3:30pm. It will be a beautiful spring day in the mountains and worth the drive. Be there or be square.

while Rance is away, read www.PopMuse.com

Thursday, 10 March 2005 - 10:27 PM CST

No, it's not Rance it's Rubber Duckie...if I was waiting for Rance to return I'd have shriveled up into some kind of "I didn't get to go to my prom" virginal pill popping forty year old plastic surgery scarred stalker...

I miss Rancey pants, but he's like one's fifth grade love, you hold hands and watch him play video games, and then he breaks up with you two days later. Rubber Duckie is like one's real first love in the eleventh grade that you hope to god is still hot at your high school reunion...popmuse was like my driver's ed. partner, he fell asleep a lot and liked to babble....

I'll stick with the Duck...IF SHE EVER FREAKIN' COMES BACK!!

-Bubba

Thursday, 10 March 2005 - 10:34 PM CST

Bubba,

If you're working in childcare, then it's no wonder you're not a parent. I studied childcare when young and quickly realised after a little hands-on experience that I would never have children of my own if I had to deal daily with a bunch of other peoples' brats and not even be allowed to discipline them!

What does giving birth teach you about children that studying them doesn't? There's a lot of people who've had children that obviously shouldn't and don't know what they're doing, and there's a lot of people who haven't had kids that are great with them. As a parent, I'd prefer someone who doesn't have to go home to deal with more children's demands than someone who is on-duty 24hours a day... that's why we put our kids in childcare - for a break!

As for discrimination... I can't say that I've ever seriously been discriminated against. And off the top of my head I can't think of any frivolous cases either...

unless you count the shop assistant that requested I wait outside the shop for my mother-in-law when I was heavily pregnant (one day past the guestimated due date) with my first child, so that I didn't ruin her carpet in case my waters broke.

I'll try to consider if there's any other scenarios I can come up with.

Oh, I know. I find it discriminatory that shops have such small aisles and checkouts and as I have a twin pram to manouevre around there are a lot of shops I don't fit into.

Hope that's what you wanted to hear! Thanks for thinking of a conversational topic!

Let's all hope that Rubber Duckie returns to us all soon!

Gnomie :)

Thursday, 10 March 2005 - 10:38 PM CST

Guess popmuse has crafts disease...

can't remember a "flamin" thing!!!!

It's not like Rance has been around for a long time, I mean I know it seems like ages since we heard from Duckie, but it's still a hell of a lot more recent than Rance!

Duckie, Duckie,
Where fore art thou, Duckie????

Gnomie :)

Friday, 11 March 2005 - 6:12 AM CST

I'm also in Ohio and was taking a class this past quarter where we had to write an argument essay about a controversial topic in the education system. I'd be interested in finding out if it is the same teacher or if it just a standard essay topic-- I hated giving presenting that paper!

Friday, 11 March 2005 - 6:17 AM CST

Hasnt anyone even noticed that Rance replied to this string of comments???

I miss you Rance-- wherever you are!
I miss Rubber Duckie too.

Maybe Rubber Duckie went to rescue Rance from that assylum he was in over the holidays?!?!?

Friday, 11 March 2005 - 9:32 AM CST

YO! Duckster, put down the paintbrush and slowly back away.

Your mini vacation is officially over.

Finish the story.

Thanks.
