How to use the word "duck" about 87 times in one paragraph

Part of an email Pierre sent me yesterday:

You are thinking of this goofball: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_Duckula Actually liked that more than Darkwing. Daffy duck is probably my all time favorite duck. Other cartoon ducks I like: Wade Duck, Duckman, Duck Tales, Donald Duck, Howard the Duck, and the little quacky duck from Tom & Jerry.


It reminded me of the time gks, Sweet Bass, and I went to Nan for dinner. The conversation went something like this:

Waiter: And for dessert we have creme brulee or rhubarb pie.
Sweet Bass: Rhubarb pie? Never heard of rhubarb. What is rhubarb?
Waiter: It's a plant with a tart taste. We serve it with vanilla ice cream.
Sweet Bass: Rhubarb sounds good. (To me) Where you thinking of the rhubarb pie? Would you like to split the rhubarb pie? Are you ok with rhubarb? (To waiter) I think you convinced us about the rhubarb. We'll take the rhubarb pie.
Waiter: I'll be right back.
Sweet Bass: man the rhubarb pie sounds good.
gks and JLR: [hysterical laughter]
Sweet Bass: what are you guys laughing at?

Does anyone remember the Mighty Ducks animated spin-off? It really had nothing to do with hockey and more to do with sci-fi space battles with reptilian villains.
