Firefall has spoken.....and it SHALL be so!!
(the sheer implausibility of the purported
photograph notwithstanding!)
I would expound further on what the animal is thinking,
but let's be honest----I am dubious (with such an obvious
lack of volume for brains----look at that low forehead!) of
any capacity to form any thoughts other than the usual--
to whit:
1.DAMN I'm hungry!!!!
2.Hey baby! 'Wanna make more ducks?
Perhaps, in times of great plenty and low stress, there
MIGHT be room in that little cortex for a #3......but I REALLY,
REALLY doubt it!

......I stand corrected! Lest we forget.....if it walks like duck

No disrespect to Anvil, but that loutish metric ton of a creature
wearing the lampshade (or traffic cone.....for God's sake don't
interrupt a good story!!) reminds us ALL of that fellow who would
make a beeline for the punchbowl at ANY social gathering as would
an astronaut would reach for oxygen......as a vital imperative!
So I'm a duck and will always BE a duck.
So what!
What are YOU looking at?
How many of YOU can walk, fly, AND have a watertight butt!?!?!
" ' thought so!!!!!!"
Vale.
A duck and damned proud of it!

[ Vale , mortally wounded....waddles away as the screen fades to black]
The SR body politic reels at this wanton act of savagery....no
act since the shooting of Bambi's Mom has brought such a torrent
of emotion.........and they exhorted in one voice...
" How, pray tell, how in God's name could you SHOOT Vale!?!?!
Cynical, who simply could not resist......recalled Vale's age (53)

nope... Professor Ludwig Von Drake
which is any kind of male duck species... since they don't have a name for both except for duck. If Vale is not a guy then I guess the name would be Professor L. Von Duck??
hmmm pondering the mysteries of the universe.

Vale is a guy, Firefall.
He may have some birdshot in his ass courtesy of Cynical
but he has a nasty habit of surviving then turning the table
on life's vicissitudes in a way that few can emulate.
(to include this sh*t storm called addiction)
Vale never lost a battle for anything he really wanted.
How's that to steer this thread back to its roots? (Arrogance)

ok, How about I know everything, and I know nothing at all.
It feels stronger to let others think I know everything and I
Don't want to show weakness. To me humility (face to face) makes me a target.
With recovery as a codie I am whistling in the dark, rather be joking
it's a good way to get away from it.
