Now That’s a Rubber Duck

Click photo to go to Florentjin Hofman’s project page for a rubber duck that would look awesome in Gloucester’s Inner Harbor staring into the window of Joey’s office. Just the right height.

  1. Suffering from a little duck envy Paul. I think we should get one and sneak in at night and put it on the roof of Capt. Joe & Sons. It could become a beacon from far away to lead people to Joey, but we have to make sure it faces the street so it is watching Joey as he enters and leaves.

    1. I’ve emailed Tami and we might get together for an intervention. But really, I don’t have a problem at all. I’m not the one taking a hunting license out on Rubber Ducks even in jest.

      There are no rubber ducks watching me constantly. I’ve checked.

  2. Paul, I don’t understand. I am strangly draw…as a teenager is drawn… to the unknown… to the primeval… I have a hot tub… and I have more RD’s, in various design, than is healthy..In Irish tradition my family knows, but has locked the issue in a closet…until now .. and I feel so free…

    1. I’ve only had the revelation in the past year but there is no more calming effect than to be in a hot tub with a Rubber Duck. In the mountains of Maine or the heat of Florida, Rubber Duck cheerfully bobs and weaves on the currents. You can also tell a lot about a person when the Duck is drawn like a magnet to them. It’s uncanny how RD seems to swim upstream to bounce into certain people.

      Anyone who says “Arrgh!” when approached by a rubber duck but also has a desk full of them all watching him is conflicted. Maybe Pirate Rubber Duck needs to come to the party tomorrow.

      I’ll end with a quote from the enormous Rubber Duck website: “The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn’t discriminate people and doesn’t have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!”
