The Giant Rubber Duck is of interest to people in many lands.
People from my networking site: www.linkedin.com have been commenting how cool this has been for Pittsburgh. I am learning to say duck in many languages including Hungarian and German.
What an exciting weekend we had in Pittsburgh with the Giant Rubber Duck. Thanks for reading my blog. I am excited that although the majority of my readers are from the United States, that the blog has reached International waters. Readers from the United Kingdom, Russia, Netherlands, France, and India have read my blog.
Now that the work week has begun, I smile at my City Paper insert of this fall art event starring the Giant Rubber Duck that still sits on my desk and am enjoying more interesting news articles about it. I read the most amusing thing in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette today.
If you get a chance please read it. The title of the article was, "What does the Rubber Duck think about all day?" You will find it in the first section, second page or A-2. It is called, "the morning file" by gary rotstein. I paraphrased some of my favorite thoughts that Ducky might be thinking....
Some of the ones I liked are:
- Ducky thinks about feeling bad about being shrunk a story in height to fit under the bridges here.
Ducky also is thinking:
- Who is going to protect me if the government shuts down? And I'm afraid that there are not too many hiding places on the river for a conspicuously large yellow object, in case a trigger-happy rifleman wants to use me for target practice.
- If Pittsburgh Pirate Pedro Alvarez hits a home run outside of PNC Park that hits and deflates me, I'm calling Edgar Snyder, the TV lawyer and getting some money out of this.
There are a number of other cute ones in case you get to read them, you might want to Google that article on-line.
For now our Giant Yellow Rubber Ducky is in jail waiting for release. Ducky is trying to make the best of it by parking by the Point State Park fountain and enjoying refreshing spritzes of water. Ducky welcomes all fans to come to Pittsburgh as three weeks seems like a long time for confinement. I think I might start now to raise some bail money so it can leave on October 20th.
If you are planning to visit Ducky, feel free to comment to my blog
and I will give you some travel tips. I'm a native of Pittsburgh and welcome you to visit our cheerful city. Keep posted for more Ducky updates! Quack, Quack!
