For background on DARD, go here.
Me: Hey Ducky!
Ducky: Gia! You’re the best!
Me: FINALLY, an animal that appreciates me.
Ducky: Yeah yeah. Let’s talk more about DARD!
Me: How’d that coming along for you?
Ducky: GREAT, especially since you blogged about duck rape awareness. Your readers are now all well informed.
Me: Yeah, and two blogs even put the button on their site! It’s spreading like wildfire!
Ducky: WHOA, Gia. Whoa.
Me: What’s wrong?
Ducky: We don’t say that.
Me: Say what?
Ducky: ILDFIRE-WAY.
Me: It’s just an expression.
Ducky: Do you know how many animal friends I’ve lost to wild fires? I wouldn’t say “Boy it’s spreading like AIDS in the 80’s.”
Me: Whoa.
Ducky: Exactly, Gia. Have some respect.
Ducky: …I bet they don’t make light of wildfires…
Me: Oh come on Ducky. I’m sorry. Don’t be like that.
Ducky: My feathers are ruffled. I can’t help it. I’m a very sensitive bleeding heart duck.
Me: I know Ducky, that’s why I love you.
Ducky: Are you coming on it to me again??
Me: NO! Sheesh. Hey but look – I’m putting a list of DARD supporters on the sidebar under the DARD button to create a real community of anti duck rape. Does that make you feel better?
Ducky: It does!
Me: Anything else you want to promote?
Ducky: We’re having a “Take Back the Pond” Rally this weekend! DUCKS AGAINST RAPING DUCKS! NO MEANS NO!
Me: Good luck with your rally, Ducky.
Ducky: DUCKS AGAINST RAPING DUCKS! NO MEANS NO!
Me: Yeah yeah, I got it.
If you have the DARD button on your site, let me know so I can add you to the list of supporters!
And in other news, Wicked Awesomology was kind enough to tag me in another one of those questions thingys!

Why not? They weren't too hard.
