After a brief excursus into a different sort of blog post yesterday, the sun has risen again, all is well with the world, and the Dassler Effect is back to posting uplifting pcitures of dead birds 😉 This is part of the “And Wears Man’s Smudge” category of the blog, which is trying to illustrate the impact of our fallen nature on the planet. As for the last picture, well the only falleness nature that represents is a bunch of guys not keeping their shower clean. I am not sure exactly why we have a dead ducky in our shower, but I have long wanted to photograph it, as weird as that may sound. It seemed logical to do so on “dead duck day,” a title which comes from the book About a Boy and the movie of the same name, which you should watch if you have not done so. Brilliant.
   
   
hey,
That was my dead duck when i lived there… i left him for you all to take care of. He’s looking pretty sad about now.
Jesse, we actually keep the shower very clean. All that gook around his eyes and body is because he weeps for you, my friend. We tell him you are gone for a very good cause, but to know avail.
Actually, just before your comment we were having a conversation about where exactly Mr. Dead Duck came from. Mystery solved.
OH MY GOODNESS NEIL! I’m SO glad the dead duck in your bathroom is rubber; I was thinking you took the one from the earlier photos home and put it in the tub!
“All that gook around his eyes and body is because he weeps for you, my friend.” tee hee 😉

P.S. I like how your banner makes me feel like I’m spying on St. Louis and his horse. Looks like a shot from “Atonement”. Very stunning!
