    They know the horror of Canadian geese first hand. No way in hell will you get them to willingly partake in a ritual that has even the slightest chance of summoning one.

        No, I hunted one of those motherfuckers one time, you can marinate that motherfucker all you want and it’s still not gonna be edible.

        Like $100 in special permits and special ammo and it wasn’t worth a damn.

        I see why Christmas goose fell out of favor.

        See, at the end of a Christmas Carol, Scrooge never actually was rehabilitated.

        He went and bought the biggest one of those nasty ass birds he could find to stick on those poor people’s table.

    Ducks are way better than geese. Unless you’re also a duck.

    But on the other hand, it makes more sense to run from a goose. If a duck came at me, I’d probably stand still to see what it wanted.

    These weirdos are probably doing their online searching with “Duck Duck Gr” too.

    Weird, I remember when I was in elementary school in MN they used ‘duck duck goose’, this is the first i’ve heard of the other variation.

    Yeah it’s true. The game originated in Sweden, and we have a lot of Swedish immigrants in Minnesota. It was originally called anka anka gråttanka, which translates to duck duck grey duck. Or that’s the story we tell here at least.
