i'd rather be surfin'

161 / 365 - I'd rather be surfin'

(on black)

 

Let me introduce this pimpalicious rubber duckie. "What exactly is a function of a rubber duck?", asks Mr. Weasley when Harry Potter joins him for dinner. Yeah, what is it? What is it that makes the rubber duck so special? And why is it a duck? I think I've seen more than 100 movies in which the rubber duck was used for a comic relief. Most notably, an episode of "Jeeves and Wooster" (if you haven't watched it, you're missing out on something special).

 

So anyway. Today I was biking home and was absorbed into deep thoughts about Riemann problems and low Mach numbers. Suddenly I found myself looking straight at the butt of a girl who was riding in front of me. She wore those almost-see-through black leggings, kinda like black stockings - you can see the skin (well, sort of), but they are black at the edges. I'm sure she knew all that, but what she probably didn't suspect was that it looked way different while biking - everyone was treated to a full 360 (not counting the black thong). I think I almost crashed into her when I surfaced from my scientific musings, cause I rode way faster than she did. And after i looked at her I almost hit a pole cause I remembered the Queen "Bicycle" video and started laughing.

 

And now I feel like I need a vacation, and I have only one working flash left cause the batteries in everything else croaked. That's where the surfing rubber duck comes in. Did you know that the gesture the duck is making means "booze" in Russia?
