Today The Collective, of whom I am a huge fan, is giving me an award! Feel free to click through and shower me with adulation. Also, if you don’t already have the Collective in your feedreader, take a moment to examine what it is you’ve been doing with your life all this time, and then subscribe to their site.

If real life ducks were pink, I’d totally have one.

I’d really like a pink duck. In fact, I may just be jealous of yours!

Jennie!, that’s the promise of genetic engineering. I can only hope that bright day comes sooner rather than later.
Kat, are you trying to say bloggers don’t have lives? Listen, don’t be tellin’ people this stuff.
Hilly, mwah ha ha! The duck is all mine!

I am coveting your pink duck. You have the most beautiful pink duck I have ever seen.

A pink duck, eh? Well, you should be honored. And I guess you are.

That looks like an orange duck on my screen. I’m just saying.

matt, you say that to all the boys.
karl, are you trying to butter me up again?
dana, not that duck, the other duck.

That’s pink? Looks like Satan-spawn red.

I assert that it is pink, and perhaps a certain other blogger is now green with envy. Hmmm?

I do TOO have a pink duck, so don’t you say I do NOT. Hmmmmph.

…and when I said, “you do not,” clearly I meant “you do not UNLESS YOUR NAME IS SHARI.”
