Title: The adventures of Rummy Duck
Post by: *Teach* on January 04, 2009, 10:09:07 PM
Some were questioning not long ago as to what sorts of things Rummy has been up to so I have taken it upon myself to begin chronicling the adventures of Rummy Duck!

First off, Rummy's first New Years Eve:

Lord of the Flame Rummy

Making time with the ladies

Hanging out with a pirate

What Duck?

And to keep the party going, Rummy went out that same weekend to the Chaos rennie Gathering in San Antonio at Oak Hills Tavern:

Hanging with the warlord:

Did I forget something in there?

Always the ladies Duck:

The rest of the pics of Rummy's adventures can be found here:

I do apologize for the quality of these pics... In my own inebriated state NYE I managed to change a setting on my cam that I only tonight figured out how to fix.

*Perhaps the rum should come after the photos... but I doubt it'll happen*

It looks like Rummy was in the middle of the fun and didnt miss a minute of it.

Oh yeah... Rummy is the original party Duck!

but wow...
considering how people were asking before, I was figuring on more thinking this was a fun idea
guess I missed that one

*prolly had to much rum when I was thinking on it...*

I think it's great! I'm glad to see him still having fun.
I've just been having a little trouble maneuvering the fingers and everthing else so far this year.

Looks like Rummy was havin' too much fun to stay legal!!! I'd love to see the Further Adventures of Rummy Duck!!!

Then I shall continue to document, look for him at any rennie related thing I can get him to (and back)
He is a ham for attention and loves having his picture taken so expect that as well

*he also liked it when people give me rum so...*

Our REAL black duck, Daphne, is fed up with all this attention to a rubber squeak toy!  She's calling Rummy out!  She said she's gonna show that mini parade-float that SHE is the top duck in the Rennie Roost!

Quote from Daphne:  "Bring it on Rummy!  I'll tear you a new squeaker hole!!!"

As I believe I interpret Rummy he either says:
"Bring it! You think you can hang, you got nothing on the Rum"
Or
"Hey Baby... ever hang with a polymer pirate before? You know... once you go plast you never go back*

Kinda hard to interpret him all the time...

*Might be the rum he sips*

LMFAO!!!  Daphne is now unclear on her intentions...she's either gonna peck out Rummy's eyes, or else let Rummy peck...umm...hard to translate Duck into English...something about peck...or...no...we won't go there...hehehehe!!!

But if she decides she doesn't like Rummy and the challenge isn't JUST a hormonal thing?

Rummy is in deep duck doo doo!

Look what she did with this whole GANG of maurauding invaders!!!

(http://www.classicwinnebagos.org/Coppermine/albums/userpics/10032/DaphneAndChinooks1.jpg)

She took on the whole FLOCK of Northern Invaders and chased them off...

Still not sure about her intentions though...Duck is VERY hard to translate...

ROFLMFAO

Please remember that before he changed his name, Rummie was Darrke Duck, Captain of the Imperial Guard of Blue, Empress of the North.
This is no duckling that Daphne will be dealing with. He has experience in whichever endeavor she proposes.

He does like his rum though.

He changed his name? I thought that was Darrke's evil twin! I knew I'd seen him before, at any rate. Look out Daphne, that's a mighty task to take on!!!

We normally don't discuss the sordid tale. It involved gambling and midnight trysts and surreptitious entries. Some things are better left undisturbed.

Do I see sequels in the future? Perhaps a partnership??? Rummy & Daphne, Together at Last! Maybe there's even a storyline in all this!?!

I can see it now... The Further Adventures of... !!!

My job is only to chronicle the adventures as they take place. The future tales are as yet untold... we shall see

*it's kinda like asking if I am going to have rum later. I probably am, but I don't have an ironclad guarantee on it*

That would be Teiwaz, admiral of the Pirates of Poseidon fleet
Why he likes wine-in-a-box I have no idea
But it was an empty box by about midnight NYE

*I have to say that rum-in-a-box would cause me to think twice before drinking...*
Title: Re: The adventures of Rummy Duck
Post by: LadyShadow on January 06, 2009, 02:31:39 PM
I agree.  Nothing of the sort should come out of a box.
Title: Re: The adventures of Rummy Duck
Post by: Rani Zemirah on January 06, 2009, 02:51:38 PM
Maybe Rummy was drinking it... I've heard that when the rum is all gone he gets a little... desperate!
Title: Re: The adventures of Rummy Duck
Post by: MacLaren on January 06, 2009, 03:42:16 PM
All Rummy needed to do is ask. I'd be glad to donate some real wine for rum-deficient moments!

And yeah, why does an admiral like that, uh, boxed stuff?
Title: Re: The adventures of Rummy Duck
Post by: Rani Zemirah on January 06, 2009, 04:03:52 PM
Never did understand the whole boxed wine craze... or the beer bubbles, the mylar bags full of cheap brew. Just give me a tall glass with rum, and maybe a little fruity stuff. Oh wait... that's another thread, isn't it???

Admiral, indeed...

Darrke never had any trouble finding enough to drink. I can't imagine that changing his name and moving out of town (rather quickly, and in the dark of night) would reduce his talents.

So, did anyone else notice that *Teach* made a post with absolutely no mention of rum? (Told you it was gonna happen eventually, *Teach*.) ;D

Nonono!!! That post was referencing rum even if it didn't use the word, so it counts!!!

Daphne said she is ready and willing for the Kumite!  She said there is NO rubber duck that can take her on!

Be very wary, Rummy!  This is a Conceptual Drawing that Daphne herself drew with her little webbed feet to help her Mallard cousins with the whole duck hunter issue:

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_38HsgV8oSKI/SWQy9cJ5wYI/AAAAAAAAAMk/b7tYRaaOSZA/s400/DuckDecoy.jpg)

She watched a lot of the Discovery Channel and then the Outdoor network, and brilliantly came up with her own Decoy!

LMFAO!!!

Watch out Rummy!  This ain't no ordinary duck you're dealing with!

While he is a very capable fighter, Rummie is really more a lover than a fighter.

(http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc86/Zaubon/Darkke_Duck/Onandaga_Feast/S4020960.jpg)

I think Daphne would be much happier with Rummie as a friend than an enemy.

Rummy is definitely the Ladies duck.
I have noticed already he tends to be in more and better pictures with 'em for sure

*I also noticed my rum supplies took a hit since he showed up*
Title: Re: The adventures of Rummy Duck
Post by: The Scotsquatch on January 08, 2009, 10:03:07 PM
LOL!!!  Daphne is a lover too...she loves to hug and nibble and rub beaks and be petted.

She would either fall in love with Rummy, or ignore him altogether...lmao!  Typical girl!

I WISH I had taken pictures of what she did to a kitten that was bothering her last year at the Kentucky Highlands Renaissance Festival though...you would all DIE laughing!

Daphne wasn't even a fledgling yet...still a downy little duckling just gettiing her first feathers, when this little black kitten, just a little smaller than her, came up to our RV porch and wanted to play with her!

Daphne pecked at her and tried several times to tell the little kitten to stay away, but yet the kitten still kept trying to play with her...and I mean cute kitten playing...just nuzzling and all that.

Finally, Daphne had enough!  The kitten was over 2 feet away, Daphne pointed her tailfeathers at the kitten, and then RAISED her back end!

If you are not familiar with ducks, when they defecate, it goes straight down with a significant force to keep it away from the duck's feathers.  But Daphne AIMED at the kitten!!!

She put her head over backwards between her wings, lifted her backside and actually RAISED her back end for trajectory, took a second to actually aim and compensate, and fired the aft torpedos!!!

The poor kitten!!!

From over 2 feet away, the poor kitten was whalloped dead on, square in the middle of its forehead!

And it was like a CSI episode when the kitten ran away!  You could actually see a kitten-shaped outline in the splatter-marks on the ground!...roflmfao!!!

Think I'm exagerating?  Ask anyone who does the KY faire...they ALL died laughing!!!

Again, she'd probably fall in LOVE with Rummy...or else ignore him as a rubber icon not worth worshipping because SHE is the Ducky Goddess...but it would be ugly if she didn't...lmao!
