Dan's destiny is in your hands




Like all bloggers I am an attention seeker at heart. Unfortunately I am not a patient attention seeker. After three weeks of writing a blog, I haven't received nearly as much attention as I would like and that is where Dan comes in.

Dan, as you can see is a duck. He is a duck who belongs to my four year old daughter Zoe and he is her favourite toy.

Right now, Zoe thinks she has lost Dan. She hasn't. I have kidnapped him and he is going to to die the death of a thousand cuts.

Every day Dan is going to receive a horrible wound or disfigurement, unless I have had more than 100 visitors to my blog that day, or a new inbound link. I will return Dan, or what is left of him, to Zoe at the end of August.

The highest number of visitors I have received in a day so far is 84 and the lowest number is 0, so I reckon Dan has a slow and painful death in store.

Only you can save him.

How can you do such a thing to a poor defenceless toy duck? As someone who suffered from a ducknapping first hand, I have experienced the mental anguish caused from the ideal. It's given me lots of material to discuss with my psychiatrist when I finally get one :)

BTW, I've linked to this posting from my own blog.

Hmm. Well, I can't remember what age I was when my father stole my favourite toy and told me the fairies had taken him, but I was old enough to a) not believe him, and b) remember it for life. I never trusted him again. It caused a huge emotional rift between us which lasts to this day. He's a good man, but I don't think I'll cry at his funeral.

Having second thoughts yet?

my mother stole one of my toys once, and made a dress for it. Now I have a bear in a beautiful wedding dress, this is unfortunate because in my mind the bear was, and still is a boy. this has not messed me up at all.....
