Interrogations

These interrogations are not like the one that took place during out outing. These videos were made almost a year ago. Yeah, a pretty long time ago.

Enjoy.

Log for Dec. 21 - Dec. 23 2010

Max, Tony, Zak and I went up north and stayed in a cabin for 3 days and 2 nights. We made sure to keep a LOG of what we did so we could share it with the Duckman Community.

Enjoy.

Day 1:
4:54 - Trenten calls Tony wondering where he is.
5:10 - Tony arrives at the Vruwink's household out of breath.
Then - arrived a la supermercado. Walked (as may be later demonstrated on duckmanconnections).
Then, then - arrived at the dwelling place. unarmed. (about 6:40)
Ate Pizza. (must squeak) - voice cracking
Watched a Movie
-In no specific order...
10:50 - went outside and stood there for the first time.
10:52 - jumped in hot tub. Now the hot tub is indoors and hot, while the outside is covered in show. Don't make me explain the details of what must be done.
11:15 - Sweet Holy Moly! we stuffed our bellies like Lebron stuffs Michael Jackson.
11:30 - The (extremely hard) slapping commences! (Now this is what Michael Jackson would to do Lebron). There are intense bending-overs from extreme pain.
"In two words, you're screwed" - Tony
"It hurts max, he killed me" - Trent. "Ugh"!
11:52 - we finally finish catching up on our log.
11:54 - we take our positions. ;)
11:57 - . . . Why does love always feel like a battlefield? Armor is failing. Wounds have been inflicted. The plans are forming all or nothing. Tony uses body armor and clothes are immediately outlawed.

Day 2:
0:00 - The bong (as in: a dull, resonant sound, as of a large bell. NOT the other meaning.) sounds!!! PAIN, DOOM, TORTURE! The alliance looses. Horribly. 'Nuf said.
0:03 - The voting resulted in the end of the war. What a sad end. We look forward to the battles of the future.
"Okay, everyone died. Even Big Buffalo."
"We don't want to appear to have any race affiliation." IYKWIM

LEGEND OF BIG BUFFALO

In a war between Indian tribes, there was a man named Big Buffalo. Big Buffalo was a large man. He was 11'  and 650 kgs. He always wears Aviators with 1 ft. diameter lenses. He was in the war of the two Indian tribes.  The only war between Native American sides in which one did not win. Buffalo Bill frolicked through the plains, grabbing people, and tearing them in half while throwing them onto his back. In the chaos, he accidentally grabbed and tossed two buffaloes over his shoulder. Each of Big Buffalo's parents were about 2 1/2 feet tall. You know what they always say: If it's Popsicle, it's Buffalo... Suddenly a member of the opposing tribe, Tiny Squirt, jumped up writing "Buffaloes suck" on his belly with sharpie. Big Buffalo jabbed his hand through Tiny Squirt and plopped Tiny Squirt onto the pile on his back. Big Buffalo looked down i horror at the tiny sharpie marker message added to the 7 spears already stabbed into his stomach. He collapsed to his knees, arms outstretched to the sky crying "Platypusses eat Harry mammals!!! . . . often." Holding this dying posture for years to come . . . he eventually was covered with copper to preserve his form, and then after many more centuries, he sighed. After a couple more generation came and went, he finally died. "How did he last so long without food or drink?" Morons usually ask. The secret lies in photosynthesis. Through these last fatal decades he suffocated under the copper.

A quick quote and award

"Bandit, sometimes I think you are a real person... until I realize your licking my nose..." (the ... indicate pauses, not breaks in transcript)

This award is given for excellence in maintaining posts in the blog, even when he didn't have to.  I present this award to the handsome, Trenten Witte!

Congratulations, buddy!
Keep up the good work!



What To Do When You're Bored

If you are like me, which you probably aren't, you spend most of your day not doing a whole lot. Yes, I do go to school, and run after that. But what about when you get home? Or if you don't have school? What do you do then?

Well, I am usually really lazy and don't do a whole lot. But other times, I will be on the computer doing random stuff that keeps me occupied. So I thought I would share some of those things with YOU!

1. Go to Google and type in part of a sentence. Google will then give you retrogradations for what you should search. (These recommendations are the most searched things on Google. Some of them can be quite hilarious.)
Example: Type in "Why is my" and a top searched thing will be "Why is my eye twitching?" or "Why is my poop green?" I am not quite sure why the second one is the most searched thing for "Why is my". Seems a bit strange to me.

2. Go to Youtube and watch different videos. You can watch music videos, or just about any kind of video, which I'm sure you know, since who hasn't been on youtube?

Some great videos:

Flea Market Montgomery

This is Sparta! Last Techno Remix

Keyboard Cat

Dramatic Chipmunk

Dark Knight Interrogation Scene Spoof


Phil Davison


And of course Auto-tune songs...

Dude You Have No Quran

Justin Beiber hit by water bottle

Double Rainbow

Bed Intruder

Obama sings replay


And some Literal Trailers

Harry Potter

Twilight Eclipse

My Soul To Take

I think you get the point. And of course, there are many more. I will leave it up to you to find them.

3. Facebook. This is probably the most boring of the four. Though there are some fun games you can play. One such game is Snake, as Kyle mentioned in his blog. According to him, snake is a very addicting game. I read his post on it, and decided that I should play snake myself. After my second time playing the game (that day... I have played it a few times before, but that was at least a month or two ago) I got a score of 650, beating Kyle by 130 points.

4. Grooveshark. This website is amazing. It has millions of songs that you can listen to. For FREE. Go there and try it out. Only then will you see how awesome it is.

5. Whenever I have free time, AND feel like writing a blog post, I will come to Duckman Connections, and write a blog post, as you can see from the one I just wrote, that you are now reading.

That's about it for now. I will post another post about what I do when I'm bored on the computer if I can think of anything else. Wow, 20 links in one blog post. New Record!

Goodbye little ducklings.

Quack on...

Our Past Life

I decided to go on Duckman Connections and write a blog post. At first I didn't quite know what it would be about. I then proceeded to click on a little movie button thing. It's one of those things that director's hold, when they say "CUT!" and stuff like that. I really don't know the name of it though. I wonder if it actually does have a name. I'm sure it does... Well, it's not like it matters if I tell you or not. That is, unless you are still confused by what I am talking about. You know what? I am going to quickly go on the internet (not that I'm not on the internet already), and figure out what it is called, so you won't have to be confused any longer, and so I don't have to continue on ranting about how I don't know what it is called.

Apparently, it is called a Clapboard. I'm not quite sure how you would come up with a name like that, especially since it looks like this...

It looks like this


Hopefully the picture shows up when  I post this. At the moment it isn't showing up. Must think it can be lazy...

Anyway. What I was trying to get to was that I can upload my own videos from my computer using that button. Fun stuff, I know. So I decided I should use that.

But what video to use? I have at least 100 videos of my friends and I. For this first video, I will upload a video of us doing some improv. Take in mind that we are weird people. Very weird. And if you didn't get that message from the blog so far.... well, you're going to get it after watching this video.

Sorry, but after much trying, the video just wouldn't upload. Maybe someday...

Well. Enjoy

Since the improv video didn't work, here is a video of Max and Justin doing some slow-motion fighting scene... or whatever..



It's a stupid video I know. You'll just have to deal with it.

Umm.. well, I don't think it worked. It said there was an error. (the improv video) But I will just post it anyways, since I don't want all this writing to go to waste now. Inconceivable! (One of the best quotes from "Princess Bride"). If you didn't get that quote, then you need to see that movie. If you already did see it and still didn't get the quote, watch it again. Seriously.


There's really not much else for me to say right now. So, farewell my blog readers.

Read on.

Writing A Story

Recently I (Trent) have been writing. I have started one story, and have written sort of an outline for another. The one that is partly written at the moment is a sort of Murder Mystery story. I am not quite sure where exactly the story will go yet, but hopefully I can find some sort of end for it.

The other story I am working on, or really, the outline I am working on right now is more of a Suspense story. This story is more developed, seeing as though I have actually spent some time to create a small outline. I only have a couple chapters planned out so far, but I thought I'd share the outline with you, in its entirety thus far, and see what you think of it.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated, mostly because it would help me make the story better before I actually start writing the real thing. The other reason feedback would be appreciated would be to know that people are interested in reading it when I am done.

Also, any other thoughts that you have on the outline, may also be expressed in the comments section. Thank you for taking the time to read the small portion of the outline I have at the moment, and also taking the time to evaluate/criticize my writing.

Anyway, enough of my blabbing on about what everything is about. Before we go though, the first chapter is probably the most thought out as of now. The second chapter doesn't have a whole lot of 'meat and potatoes' to it, just a little bit of a story. Probably not enough to create a whole chapter. And lastly, the third chapter is not finished yet. Though this chapter will have the most information and actually story compared to the others.

These are not all the chapters that will be in the book. I will most likely be continuing to write the outline, until I think I have written it pretty thoroughly. I will also continue giving updates on the blog about how the outline and story are going. Once again Thank you very much.

Now, for the outline...


Story Outline
Type: Suspense…?

Chapter 1:
The boy sat alone on the curb of the street, cars passing by every second. He looked out across the sea of faces walking from place to place. He got up from where he was sitting and stared. He stared into the distance, with a blank face. He wanted to go home, but his legs wouldn’t let him. There was a feeling deep down in his mind that knew that he couldn’t return. However, he wasn’t aware of this at the moment, and was continuously confused about everything that was going on around him. Suddenly it hit him. Everything that had happened the past few years, cleared itself from its muddy self, and showed itself to him like newly washed glass. He knew now that he couldn’t go home. It wasn’t what was meant to be. So the boy started to run. He didn’t know where he was running to, but it felt good to him.
                Days had passed, and the boy was still running from home. He had been running for so long, that he had long passed the bustling city and was now in the country. Out in the distance he could see a small farm house. It looked abandoned, so he slowly began to walk towards it. The closer the boy came to the house, the more it seemed like an illusion. Suddenly, he came to a point where the house had disappeared completely. He took a few steps forward, and the house came back into view. The boy was getting very confused. He then took a few more steps closer to the house, when suddenly it burst into flames. It didn’t burn like something normally should, but it looked almost as though the fire was melting the wood. He wanted to get away from the house, but once again, he couldn’t move his body. First, the walls burnt down. Inside the house, the boy could see all of the memories he had as a child. He saw himself playing with his friends on the street. He saw various birthday parties his parents had given to him. Each time he began to grasp the memory, it would disappear and a new one would appear in its place. The boy fell to his knees. He couldn’t take this anymore. He kept wondering why this was happening. It had to mean something, but what?
Chapter 2:
Just then, the boy woke up, frightened and sweating profusely. It was all just a dream. He had never had a dream like this before. He was very confused, and wanted to figure out what it meant. However, he had no time at the moment. He didn’t want to be late for school. So he rushed down the stairs, expectant to see his parents. He reached the bottom, but didn’t see anyone there. He was very confused. Where could they have gone? He searched every room and no one was to be seen. There was no note saying where they were, nothing at all. He ran to the door and opened it. He looked outside, and saw nobody. It was like he was in an empty world, all alone. He didn’t think this was right. He ran out the door and looked around. He hoped that he would fine anyone in the town. He walked into various stores and restaurants, only to find out they were all empty. It was almost as though everyone had suddenly disappeared in the middle of doing things. Chairs were all over the place, and half-drunken cups were scattered on tables. He then decided to return home, hoping something would happen. There was no way that everyone could have just disappeared overnight. He thought it must be some sort of dream. But he had just woken up from a dream. Or so he thought. Maybe it was a dream inside a dream. He kept confusing himself the more he thought about it. He decided he would go back to bed, and hopefully wake up to a normal world again.
Chapter 3:
He closed his eyes and was awoken to the burning house once again. He was no longer sure which was reality and which one was a dream. Suddenly, he heard the call of a bird coming from the sky. He looked up and saw a falcon flying in circles above the house. He kept staring at it, until he fell to the ground with a thud. He awoke in a dark cave surrounded by two hooded figures. He was scared, and tried to get away, but found out that he was in locks connected to the sides of the wall. The two hooded figures were standing about 15 feet away whispering things to each other and occasionally looking at the boy.

Poetry

We are a ghost
Yet you still try,
To read a post,
Maybe even cry,
Visit our site,
And hope with all might,
That maybe today... Maybe today

Writing isn't my a strong suit
Yet you still desperately look
Wishing for pictures of maybe a newt,
In this helpful nook,
And hope with all might,
That maybe today... Maybe today.

Reading this post may have made you confused,
And we must admit, it made us amused,
To know that we made your wants a reality,
Realizing the blog in all actuality
And know with all might,
It happened today... happened today.

There once was a man who read the blog
And he really enjoyed the fog
He read Duckman daily
And played the ukulele
Turns out he was a domestic dog.

Answers.com - Stupid Questions

I visited this site again, and I must say, some of the questions asked on this site are pretty dumb.

Here are some questions I found, and the answers I gave the person.

Question: Is 1 and 1 the same?

AnswerNo. They are completely different. 
1: a number. Or, in the sense of time and space, 1. (As in the number 1, or as in the letter 1).

1: A type of animal living in the sub-arctic water near Europe.
Question: What happens to the moon when its a half-moon?

AnswerHalf of the moon leaves on vacation to a distant place in the galaxy. This place is usually near Jupiter, or Betelgeuse.

Question: How do you get water from sea water?

AnswerThere are many different ways. You can use a bucket (large or small), a basket (which is almost the same as a bucket), a shovel (which will probably not collect that much water), or you can just drink the water. All of these will work...Some better than others. It is up to you to figure out which method you find the most helpful/easiest.



I may answer more some other time.
