5' 1''? Maybe? I think I grew half an inch...I haven't measured myself in months...
I is teh tiniest of the Tech Crew.
Ron says when I get into college, if I do theater stuff, they might let me fly!

But moar on-topic...
NOT.
THE.
TROLBOT 9000!

I think I'm 5' 6" or something like that... 8D

There's a girl at my old school who's shorter than 5'. I'm scared I'll step on her. D=

Wha's the "OVER NINE THOUSSSANNDDD" meme?

So... it's just randomly adding 9000 anywhere you can?

Changing the subject.. Was anyone else absolutely SHOCKED when Duck used the word "insidious" in 'Going Undergound'?

I was!

I watched it agian the other day, and I was all, "Ok, here's the big face-off with Dr. Dare... Dum dee dum dum..." and then Duck was all, "And now we're going to stop your insidious plan stone cold." then I was like, "*gasp* AND *gasp* AGAIN!". It reall shocked me (especially since I only JUST picked up on it).

I mean... WB portrayed him as beeing somewhat... well... to be blunt, stupid... And yet they made him use a big word like that??

It was kinda like 'Cape Duck'... "That statement is rather ironic and profound if you ask me..." It sounds too smart...

I mean, in comparison with other quotes like, "You don't have to spell it for me, I know what an Emp is." "Other than being unpronouncabible." "I shall track down those crimiminals," "That's Tech... T, E... Keh." "We're on duty 25/8, 9 days a week, 55 weeks a year."

And my favourite...

Athena: And you don't look like you have oppsoable thumbs.
Duck: *goes to say something* Wah-ha- I don't get it...

I mean, they make him sound dumb all the time... then they make him say something smart... IT'S INCONSISTENT!!

Or maybe he's secretly smart and tries to hide it behind stupidity so as to avoid being labelled a geek... ;3

By the way, here is the origin of the OVER NINE THOUSAANNDD meme.

Warning: video is ridiculous

That will be funny... Duck is a geek...

Like english is not my primary language, I didn't know that until you say it... but after I make my best friend see all the chapters of the first season (I was in USA two weeks ago and I buy it because it only can be sold in USA and Canada Y.Y) and make her (and her siblings) addict of the show, she told me that Duck way to speak is intelligent...

After all, he is the one who do the best and the funniest quotes in the serie... and now that I saw again the chapters, I see he is always saying mean things about the genius (in other words, Tech)...

Is like he doesn't like the geeks or in reality HE is a geek and doesn't want people know it.

Who knows... maybe his desire to be a hero did that he never get a good gob... including he is the first in his class...

And when he said : "We're on duty 25/8, 9 days a week, 55 weeks a year" maybe is a sacarsm... or in Acmetropolis don't use the same system of 24 hours day, 7 days week, etc...

*does stupid snorty laugh*

Duck: I KNOW WHAT'LL HELP THIS SITUATION! *pulls out duct tape*
Ace: Eh, Duck... We're outta cereal...
Lexi: Yeah, how's some tape gonna help?
Duck: It's DUCT tape, and you'd be surprised how tastey this stuff can be...
Lexi & Ace: O_o

LOLZ! First thing that popped into my head. Next to the image of Duck walking around with a duct tape backpack of course... XD

Duck: Oh yeah, I am so totally stylin. ^__^ *pleased with himself*

XDDD

And yes Tyranee, Duck does sound pretty smart half the time... He uses a lot of big words... "Which is the ancestral homeland of geeks, dweebs and braniac nerds" could've just been "Which is the home of geeks, dweebs etc."

But that 25/8 thing was kinda fo' realz, because afterwards Lexi goes, "And real superheroes obviously don't spend much time in school either." and Duck had this little pause before what she said clicked inside his head and he goes, "Hey!" all offended like...

Another deep dark secret has been discovered! He didn't really go to school that much! But why he didn't is the question. We must investigate!

*Puts on a Sherlock Holmes costume and blows bubbles through a smoking pipe while zooming a magnifying glass in front of my eyes.*

I had something to put to!

...I forgot what it was.

MAYBE IT WAS ABOUT DUCK

1. DUCK IS TEH AWESOMER. But there's not too much to learn about him. BUT IF YOU LOOK AROUND THE THREAD, YOU SEE WE NOTE A LOT OF INTERESTING THINGS!

2. The cake is a lie.

We don't really know. But even if the foster parents supported him as much as they could, he still ended up being a pool boy for that mean old life guard.

Yay! I'm an Intergalactic Hero!

Ok, I'm back again, because I've just found an interesting piece of text through my Introduction to Sociology and Psychology class. 8D

Please bear with me and read this piece carefully, as it details the impact that institutions (orphanages and the like) have on children. It’s interesting…

“The socialisation of children who are raised in orphanages and similar institutions differs in one important respect from that of children who are raised in families. Institutionalised children rarely have the chance to develop close emotional ties with specific adults, for although the children may interact with a large number of staff members, the attendants simply do not have the time to devote much personal attention to any one child. The standard of nutrition and other physical care in institutions is sometimes good and comparable to that in private homes, but relationships between child and adult are usually minimal.

“In 1945, the psychologist René Spitz published an influential article on the effects that these conditions have on children’s personalities. Spitz compared some infants who were being raised by their own mothers with infants of the same age who had been placed in the care of an orphanage. The infants living with their mothers had plenty of opportunity for close social interaction, but those in the institution received only routine care at mealtimes and when their clothing or bedding was changed. Spitz found that the infants in the orphanage were physically, socially and emotionally retarded compared with the other infants – a difference that increased steadily as the children grew older.

“Spitz’s report was followed by a large number of studies on the effects of institutionalisation on infants and children, most of which have arrived at similar conclusions. William Goldfarb (1945), for example, compared forty children who had been placed in foster homes soon after birth with forty children who had spent the first two years of life in institutions before being transferred to foster homes. He found that the institutionalised children suffered a number of personality defects that persisted even after they had left the institutions. They had lower IQ scores, seemed more aggressive and distractible, showed less initiative, and were more emotionally cold. Many other studies have reported similar depressing effects on physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development, and have confirmed that such disabilities suffered in early childhood tend to persist or even worsen in later years (Bowblby, 1969, 1988; Rutter, 1974).”

Could we therefore not assume that Duck’s nastiness towards people, close to him or in general, his certain points of stupidity and his inability to ‘care’ at times are all personality defects brought on by his time spent at the orphanage? Because he never received the parental care that the other Loonatics had?

It could also explain why Pinkster became so evil at such a young age.

It might even go so far as to explain why Tech’s sometimes emotionally cold. Not saying that his childhood isolation to adults was as severe as Duck’s, but perhaps he wasn’t given much attention at a young age from his parents?

Hmmm… Interesting indeed…

…

You’re all snoring now, aren’t you? T_T

Yay for Duck! 8D

The orphange did look a bit like a zoo...

D:

Had to read the entire thread to get up-to-date. Yes, Duck is messed up for very legitimate reasons-- HOWEVER.
His personality relates to mine a LOT which makes me feel better about myself when I see him. Also, he's shorter than me... (though I get jealous of him for that. I like short people for some reason.) and his fan-base is small...like mine. D: +sigh+
Ohhhh how I wish I were a popular singer/author/artist +cries+

Besides, his sexiness makes up for all of it! +Pinches Duck! He squawks and wiggles his tailfeathers on cue+

Yes, thats right. It was the music villian part 1.

Completely off topic, but I just want to say, Xtream, that I totally just misread your sig banner as "Duck is made out of so much pie." I was like:


????

Nom Nom Nom :3

Xtream, why do you want to kill all female characters in the show that are attracted to Duck or Duck is attracted to them? I know you want him all to yourself (and the rest of us Duck fans too) but I would really like him to be hooked up with a decent female in the show...... hopefully not a female duck though..... female ducks in cartoon are so annoying!

That's why they put Lexi in the show .

*Points at Lexi.*

That's just me being silly. I myself would love to see Duck paired up with someone (especially Lexi).

Actually, I drew a pic last night with Duck and Lex... But it's only a BFF pic. ^__^

Best Friends Forever... I think...

I'm still inking the background. As soon as it's all outlined, I'll post it up. ^__^

Duck + Pimpin' hat = Win. 8D

DUCK IS TEH AWESOMEST!!!!! 8D

And before I forget (because I always come into this topic ready to bring this up, but it usually escapes my mind before I type it out)...

Has ANYONE ELSE NOTICED that Duck gets absolutely POUNDED in nearly ever episode??? I mean, seriously! I always gets smacked, walloped, punched or some heavy object smashing into him...

Yet he never sustains any really injuries... How tough is that?? 8D

-- Edited by XtreamCrazy at 21:51, 2008-04-13

Indeed! Wow! Just goes to show that Duck truly IS the best! ^__^

Also... Anyone else noticed Duck's fatherly role over Slam??

He’s always scolding him about something…

“Slam, you gotta gorge with your mouth closed…”

“At least take them outta the box first!”

“Such language!”

Maybe it’s because he used to have a child but he lost it and now he’s filled the void with Slam? *really likes the idea of Duck having a kid*
