Mallard Mayhem

Well, looking back on this blog I've decided to create a new one. This blog has too many posts that I consider immature and certainly too many that contain my horrible voice. I've also grown tired of the name 'DuckyAtePaste' (which is why I've changed email names).

I've also switched over to Wordpress. It looks better, it's easier to post with, it's upgradable, etc. It even shows all the page views on my administration page quickly and easy-to-read, including how many visitors per day, what they looked at, how they found it (it even shows their search terms if they found it by Google). It's just plain more advanced and better than Blogger.

I'm hoping you guys take lightly to this. It doesn't mean I'm deleting this blog or I'm stopping updates. In fact, I'll *hopefully* write more now considering it's much easier to post and track views. Basically, it's DuckyAtePaste v2.0.

So, without further ado, I'll give a link to the blog:

Happy trails!

Wii 2?

So browsing around the Internet of ours I've heard rumors that Nintendo is designing a sequel to the popular Wii. I've come up with some names for it that I think you guys would like.

"iWii"

Why not? Everyone else is doing it.


"eWii"

Old school. Sounds cool.


"pWii"

Hehe.


"Wiiquel"

Mixture of 'Wii' and 'Sequel' if you didn't get the joke.


"Super Wii"

It's Nintendo.


"Super Wii 64"

Again, it's Nintendo.


"Wyy"

Why? I don't know.

Billy Mays RIP

As some of you readers out there know, I published a post about Billy Mays some months ago, mainly bashing him and the products he sells. Billy Mays has died this morning, and because of that I am removing the post.

Ode to the Sandwich

OMFG A NEW POST!!1!11!!

Today I will be writing about sandwiches, which is pretty much the best type of food there is. I think without sandwiches I would die. Wait, let me rephrase that...if there were no sandwiches I wouldn't quite die, I would just have to live off of cereal.

Don't believe me that sandwiches are the perfect food? Check out this graph I made with the "GraphJam" chart-creation thing (note, link may contain some sexual innuendo).



As charts should be, this chart is pretty self-explanatory.

Sandwiches are everywhere. To list some examples; PB+J, bologna sandwich, sub sandwich, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, Oreos, ravioli, buttered biscuits, tacos, etc. They all follow the basic principles of a sandwich. On top of that there's also food that follows the property of an "open-faced sandwich", like pizza, cake, and frosted cookies.

So whenever you are craving some peanut butter, at least slap it between slices of bread because you can make people sick by just eating it straight out the jar. Thank you.

Restroom Towers - RCT2

I still play Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. RCT3 lags my computer and makes it really tedious and difficult to make a large park (but I can play games like CSS and Portal fine), and the guests are really stupid (and don't die!).

Today, in an ode to Thomas Crapper, I build this awesome park called 'Restroom Towers.' I'm thinking the slogan should be 'The Most Relieving Place on Earth.'

Home to 255 restrooms, this park also has several restroom attendants (handymen), mechanics, security guards, and even an entertainer! Restroom Towers has it all (excluding actual rides and food/drink/other stalls)! The park has received rewards such as 'The Safest Park in the Country' and 'The Tidiest Park in the Country.'

Here are some screenshots of the park (click to enlarge):

Oodles of restooms.

We're not joking when it comes to bathrooms.

Look at all the silly people who want to go home!

This giant restroom houses the 250th restroom.

An overview of the park.

I caved in and got Twitter. I still have no need for Facebook though.

Ducky's Guide to TV Commercial Statements

'Our product will change your life!'

...for the worse.

'If you go to our school, you will get a FREE laptop computer that you can keep after you graduate!'

...that weighs 35 pounds and runs Windows 95.

'Although our product would normally cost $90, we are selling it for $10!'

...it would cost $90 if purchased from Hong Kong through eBay.

'We will double your order for the same price of $10!'

...and they were planning to do that anyways, but decided to add additional shipping and processing costs.

'Actual people on hidden cameras.'

...actors are actual people as well, and just because the cameras are hidden it doesn't mean that the actors don't know the cameras are there.

'Our cereal is healthier than other cereals!'

...when you compare 3/4 cup of cereal and 1/2 cup of skim milk to a regular serving of cereal with whole milk.

'Visually stunning.'

...when the reviewer originally said 'This movie is not visual stunning in any means at all.' and the commercial makers trimmed off 'excess' words from the sentence.

'The product will easily clean any material!'

...assuming the only material you've heard of is rusty pennies.

'The product has great potential!'

...as a paperweight.

'Professional driver on a closed course.'

...we paid a truck driver to sit in a car in front of a green screen because our budget was low.
