A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

“Little Chicken”

I don’t know why Toadie titled this picture of her and Mimi “little chicken”. I assume that she can tell the difference between a chicken and a duck, so I’m thinking it must be the duck’s name. I say that because I can’t tell the difference between a duck and a goose, but that’s excusable I figure. Either that or it’s a hideously deformed chicken.

    I kept looking and looking at this picture asking myself if the duck-goose had a nosebleed, but it was just the way the light passed through. It’s odd, I’ve never seen an animal with a nosebleed before. But that’s a good thing.

    Hah I had to adjust the viewing angle on my monitor to see it, but, yeah – I’m thinking a Doom sprite but can’t remember which – a Baron?

    There’s also a sorta sad face top right in the wall paper.

    My, this is all rather off topic…

    (Also, the goose is making me look forward to Christmas a bit) -evil grin-

    Maybe it is because they are stretched quite then, so you can see the blood flow making them more reddish? Not sure, my lobes aren’t that big.

    Anywho, DUCKY!!
