Me: I just spoke to [deleted]. I asked her to overnite the checks. I’ll have them in the morning.
Big: Spend that money like a miser. Make it last as long as possible!
Me: I will be like Donald Duck’s uncle, Uncle Scrooge McDuck (I have no idea why they have similar but not identical last names. I suppose Uncle Scrooge came from Ireland. That’s as much as I know about the genealogy of the Duck/McDuck family.) Anyway, like Scrooge McDuck, I’ll just sit here and count my money all day, refusing to give orphans any porridge or blankets.
Big: Sounds perfect! Be as misery as Scrooge McDuck and as smart as Ludwig Von Drake.
Me: Why would Scrooge McDuck have a different name from Donald Duck? Maybe Donald’s Mom married a duck with the last name “Duck”?
I had to google Ludwig Von Drake.
Big: Perhaps the McDucks were a clan of Scottish ducks. The McDucks were anti-English, but got beat by the pro-English clans. The McDucks escaped to America. Scrooge, being too mean to be afraid, kept the McDuck name. But Donald’s father, being not as brave, dropped the “Mc” to camouflage his true clan affiliation.
Me: That is probably what happened. I actually believe that story.
So is Donald’s refusal to wear pants a protest against the English?
Big: Yes, it is a subtle, but largely ineffective, protest. He is not bold enough to wear kilts, but just goes bare-assed instead.
Me: LOL! I haven’t laughed like this in *days*! THANK YOU for that!! I love you. I actually have tears in my eyes from cracking up at that. You’re such a dork. : )
May I post this on my blog? It’s too good not to share.
Big: You can post it, but I don’t know why you are laughing. I’m pretty sure that what I am telling you is accurate. : )
Welcome back! (not that you went any where) hope that you are feeling better>:)
Thank you!
Judge Gilmore was clarifying why Donald wanted a divorce. She asked, ” Donald,you want a divorce because your wife is crazy?” Donald responded, “NO!! I want a divorce because she is F—kin Goofy!!”
LOL! I love it!
I asked him what the relationship is between the Ducks and the Mouse fam, but he didn’t answer that. BECAUSE IT’S A SECRET.
