^^^quality DN

:) it's a niche thing, unless he has a mixtape out i haven't heard.

this has to be one of the front runners for thread of the year right?

xpost it's almost as good as my completely ignored post here: Messi

also J that's a big call but yeah it's been A+

bold prediction, we like to see those on footy threads

Patinhas McPato
Skrue McDuck

these are the only two where if i heard them during a germany-switzerland world cup game or something i would go "ehh... that doesn't sound right"

xp i don't get 80's louchpop references, but i'm sure it's very nice

ah cmon now dagobert duck is reaching a little

dagobert's one of the names mixed up in all that grail nonsense, which country's that form i wonder? they are sending our kids MESSAGES

this thread is A for most of it, but muted response to bouncing brick maybe drags it down a little imo

80's louchpop

lol

oh damn I was gonna say something pretty much the same about 'Dagobert Duck' - if I heard that on commentary I'd probably die of laughter

i'm hearing big ron delve into the mysteries of the mystic feminine during a lull in play

A large group of ducks gather in a circle. One duck stood up and walked around the circle patting every duck on the head chanting duck, duck, duck, GOOSE! The one that was patted on the head last started to cry. All the other ducks asked why? The tearful waterfowl replied, "It's true!"

can somebody explain this to me please? It is a duck joke.

someone pls? i found it on the internet searching for duck jokes and it made me stop laughing.

"Mr Wenger, please sit down, I have some bad news. I fed Aaron Ramsey as usual today but afterwards he went outside and climbed onto the roof in pursuit of a duck."

otoh cannot stop laughing at this

Not only are ducks funny, but jokes involving ducks are funny. The archetypal duck joke involves said waterfowl walking into a place of commerce and speaking, after which hilarity ensues.

ok admit it lj- you fucking wrote that

darraghmac, there is a children's game in the united states called Duck, Duck, Goose. In this game, one child walks around a circle of children, tapping them on the head. the one designated as "goose" must stand u, chase the first child around the circle, and hopefully catch him before he gets back to the goose's vacated seat.

reading this whole thing has made me realise I don't quite understand the concept of 'jokes'.

xp. oh we have that in the united britishesland but i can't remember what it's called here.

it is also called duck duck goose here, at least in englande

ok admit it lj- you fucking wrote that

duck wouldn't have walked, it'd have waddled. or perambulated.

i only remember the 'being hit round the head' part of that game but we moved schools a lot tbh

the duck paused, lit a smoke and insinuated itself into the bar.

omg looooooooolj

i started trying to figure out a joek about arsenal duck hunting and them passing the jump around a lot without being able to shoot it, but then i forgot about this thread before i could figure out a punchline. most probably just ends up with pat rice CONTROVERSIAL MOD EDIT THAT MOST NON ARSENAL FANS AIM AT THE MANAGER WHILE ARSENAL FANS THINK LOL PAT RICE

he duck paused, lit a smoke and insinuated itself into the bar.

mandibles oscillated like steak-knives, as the sound of grim chuckling teased the musty evening air

q. why was george w bush considered as a transfer target by arsenal after the senate elections some years into his second term of office?

a. because he was a lame duck president (a president whose party does not enjoy a senate majority is known as a lame duck. arsenal are an english football club that sign players prone to vaguely defined foot injuries (lame))

how does a steak knife oscillate? rubbish.

are you saying your wrist is of sufficient fortitude to slice steak with one clean slice

because I suspect it ain't, buddy

you wouldn't kiss your literary agent with that mouth, just sayin

^^^cleaves his meat with an industrial buzzsaw; invents realistic Chuck Norris anecdotes

we've come a long way from duck jokes. i'd also like to point out that 'difference of a pinion', while admittedly googled, is almost certainly the best duck joke on this thread.

Arsene Wenger is selecting his team to face Wigan, when cunning Arshavin comes into his office and declares himself unfit. "Why so?" asks Arsene. "Is unfortunate" says Arshavin.

Arsene Wenger is visiting the comely household of the family Arshavin. He notices that the curtain leading to the garden is closed. "Why is that closed?" he asks. "My wife, she likes the metal music.

how do you manage to get cricket into every football thread?

this thread is A for most of it, but muted response to bouncing brick maybe drags it down a little imo

It was a marked failure of Irishness by ILX and I hope that while they were all celebrating St fkn Patty the day after they took a long hard look at themselves

i never saw it as an 'irish' joke tbh, but certianly failing all else i felt a titter as a nod to the season would have been something, y'know?

Arsenal have been rebuffed in a £1m bid for young Stuttgart goalkeeper Odesseas Vlachidimos. The 15-year-old is one of the most sought after talents in European football.

Vlachidimos and pliers

considering we already have 3 of the most promising u20 keepers anyway, i'm sure we can deal.

you're not supposed to actually talk about Arsenal on this thread

yeah cough up the strange names, duck jokes, or it's the door.

sorry I meant to say that is my suggestion for the title of the Premier League 2010/11 thread

Arsenal fans successfully ghettoised to the I LOVE ARSE sub-board where they can finally completely hole themselves up in the revolting infant-obsessed parallel universe they've created for themselves

xp what, mine wasn't?
