(You’ll be rewarded with… underwear?)
While running the other day, I passed by a park. Enjoying the park were happy children, chatty mothers, and busy squirrels– your standard park-goers.
But this park was also home to some not-so-standard inhabitants. (A few days after my run, I walked back to the park with a camera in order to get the photos below.)
Are they chickens? Are they ducks? I guess I could call them Chucks… or Dickens… or something else that isn’t exactly PG-rated. Whatever they’re called, they sure are odd-looking. Talk about ugly ducklings! Just one more thing to add to the list of funny things I see when I run.
What are some of the funniest things you’ve ever seen, either while out running or just in your day-to-day life?
Whoa! That is some crazy ass shiz. Are they seriously chicken-duck mutations?! I’ve never seen anything like that. Weird, weird, weird.
BTW, banana brulee oats is still on my list! I ended finding some speculoos cookies and making the famed speculoos spread for breakfast this week. But as soon as I consume it all, banana brulee oats are next!
Chuckie-dickens- seems a bit of cross breeding is going on over there :-O Blush blush!
🙂
Hmmm, I think one of the funniest things I’ve seen while running was at a recent orienteering race where I saw one of my friends out on his course manage to face-plant himself (he was fine otherwise I guess it wouldn’t have been so funny!).
OMG! Those.. things lol are all over my parent’s neighborhood in Florida. They actually don’t have that growth thing when they’re young.
Whoa, are those really not photoshopped pictures of ducks and chickens??? Crazy, I didn’t know chucks/dickens existed!
Oooh whose the guy…oh yeah and the special banana recipe 😀
whoa…..those lil guys are crazy!!! they are totally chuck dickens mutants.
tee hee SO cute 😀
i love the ugly ducklings! I was chased by a giant goose when i was little.. scared the quack out of me!! Geece freak me out.. though, they are pretty.
That banana brulee looks incredible! 🙂
i look forward to ALL your creations!!
I don’t know that I will ever be sick of banana brulee or photos of it. Yum. that’s all. Just yum.
I have totally seen “ducks” like that and I have no clue what they are!? I need to try that banana recipe, it looks so good.
Omg, those birds are crazy! My boyfriend and I are now in an argument. I think they’re half chicken half duck and he thinks its just some rare breed of duck. I wish we could find out whose right!
Used your banana brulee technique this morning, and it produced a PERFECT texture. You have changed my breakfast world forever:)
The most exciting thing I’ve ever seen running was a deer, which leapt out in front of me…I nearly crashed sidelong into the poor thing! Also multiple rabbits and squirrels often come out to play…once I saw a weasel as well. The local cats also love to watch me run: I’m a never-ending source of amusement for them.
I don’t know exactly what they are but the ‘chucks’ are simply adorable.
I have yet to try the melted banana trick as I actually have a total phobia of cooked banana (ack, it’s the texture!)…however, I am intrigued…maybe one day I’ll summon up the courage to give it a try 😉
<3
Aww I think they’re cute in a kind of ugly way!!!
Mmmm I must try some of this melted banana! I keep meaning to!
I think those chickens are kinda creepy! They look like the turkey I write about on my blog. lol!
Never get sick of Banana Brulee photos. Never ever. In fact, I think I’m more in awe of Averie’s dish than I am of those dickens or chucks or whatever they are. 😉
Here’s your duck: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscovy_Duck
We actually have some in the parks around here. I remember thinking they were so funny looking, because they didn’t look like all the Canada geese and mallards around here.
