If you have never tried a Mr. Clean “Magic Eraser” just check out the new improved Rubber Duck. Who would guess she immigrated to our country in 1984 onboard a container ship from China? With a little duck bill colored Sharpie© to beef up her lipstick and just a touch of mascara she is all ready for the last Mug Up of the year. That’s this a week from this Sunday, September 25th October 2, 10AM down on Madfish Wharf. There will be the first annual Bloody Mary contest with famous politicians and celebrities. The Rubber Duck and I are chopping up the fresh horseradish root tonight this week.
I’m all set in case of spills on the deck since I’ll be sporting my new Vibram Barefoots. Rubber Duck is annoyed they do not come in webbed sizes. They’re comfy and invigorating to wear but basically the best reason for getting them is that Joey will make fun of them. Seriously? Applying mascara to Rubber Duck is mostly to make sure that Donna remains concerned about my sanity but after the incident last week at Cape Ann Brewery where she went missing for an hour she really did need a scrubbing behind the ears.
[edit] To clarify, It was the Rubber Duck that went missing and needed the scrubbing, not Donna.
Good Morning Gloucester 
I’m speechless.

She does look beautiful…but I’m confused…I thought the Bloody Mary Mug Up was 10/2 (a week from this Sunday)??!! I’m volunteering both days at the Life is Good Festival for HPHC this weekend (if any of you are going, please stop by to say hi!), so I would have never offered to be an entrant if it was 9/25. I know I’m known for no showing, but I really don’t plan on it. 🙂

I thought Rubber Duck had the right date but she is easily confused. Yikes, just looked it up, you are right. Thanks I will fix.

That is a 2011 post from the first Bloody Mary Mug Up on 10/2/11. I could see how RD was confused the first time that this would cause confusion.
The 2013 Bloody Mary Mug Up is Sunday September 15.

PHEW!!!!! Excellent, glad to know I haven’t completely lost my mind (almost, almost). RD needs an electronic day planner, must pick one up for her. 🙂
And it must have been the footwear affecting Paul’s brain, too funny.
See you folks on 10/2 if not before!

Does R. Duck have any ears to scrub behind? Or is it ,does R duck have any ears behind which to scrub?

I think it is the latter because the former sounds a bit like Rubber Duck is using her ears to scrub her duck butt. As for Rubber Duck having ears one only need to go back to Homie in Love part II through XI to see that the Rubber one can hear quite well.

I just went through about four models until I found ones that fit my toes. I wear sandals in the winter so these are four season for me. They are taking some getting used to but I am wearing them now and they feel like I am at the beach. I feel like my toes are exercising while I’m on the couch.

Just shaking my head.
So not only are they ridiculous but you had to go through four pairs til you got ones that felt alright?
Putting how silly they look aside for a moment (if that is even remotely possible) and then after trying on two pairs that just didn’t feel right I would have given up right there.
Actually they would have had to give me a sensation close to what one might experience with a happy ending to push through the ridiculous factor. So when trying them on and them not feeling right the first time I’m not quite sure what would possess you to push forward through a trial of three more pairs.

You misconstrue. I went through four pair to get the perfect fit. It was more like they felt really awesome but the fourth pair felt even more awesome. They feel like someone is massaging my toes while I just sit here and when I walk it’s like vestal virgins from the island of Thera are sucking on my toes while they throw rose petals in my path.
The three previous pairs the rose petals were missing.

So glad you “clarified;” it actually sounded like Donna went missing for an hour.
Re: your Vibrams….they make your feet look more webbed, than human. I think you’re trying to impress R. Duck. (Love the mascara touch.)

I had no idea that performing cosmetics to rubber ducks was so involved. I was thinkin’ maybe a couple bucks for a lipstick and mascara. Now I see that I gotta drop a couple grand on a Fisher Scientific microscope! I’m gonna stick to building pipe organs – less stress…..

The mascara went on easy. The dissecting microscope was for a little microsurgery on her duck butt. She had a small leak which I believe was caused by Stella the dog being a little too exuberant. It took a little time because she din’t want to show a scar. Guerrilla Super Glue and Rubber Duck is air tight again.
(She did not want to be the bad punchline to the joke about a duck’s butt being water tight.)
