I dressed the goose.
Who is now named "Mary Ellen, the Marching Band Goose".

I'm sorry, Mary Ellen.I'm sorry to have dressed you like this--in school colors
and marching band attire.
I'm sorry to embarrass you by dressing you at all.
Cement geese should be naked
and spending time with their cement friends,
by a cement lake.
Sigh.
And today, we have a special treat by our man-on-the-street correspondent, Jodi, from Keeper of the House Adventures. Jodi has been hooking me up with hilarity this week, and for that, she has been named a Special Pally here at the Duck and Wheel. She may not earn a lot of money with her correspondent job, but she sure earns the glory!
Jodi sent me a very timely link to a story that I can only say is My Dream for Mary Ellen.*

Ooh! Me First?
Mary Ellen looks fabulous!
I think she may have a long lost twin in Naperville. As I was going for a smoke the other day in the garage...I saw her. Sitting in her sad spot in the garage amongst the garden tools and items left behind by the ex. I secretly wondered if it was my girlfriend's or the exes. I secretly wanted to abscond with her and take a drive to Weirdville and deposit her on your porch. After all...Isn't Mary Ellen getting lonely by now? (Birds of a feather flocking together and all?)
I see absolutely nothing wrong with having a large cement animal on one's front porch, aptly named and appropriately dressed. If I had a front porch I personally would do gargoyles - I had a dream of having a front yard and filling it with weird birdbaths and gargoyles...and painting my house purple and yellow...
I do hope your dreams for Mary Ellen are realized. Love her wig by the way. Kind of has a punk edge.
How did the reporters keep a straight face?
Mary Ellen looks faaaabulous
Goose-nappings! You might should get Mary Ellen one of the electronic pet tracing chips thingies just to be on the safe side!
Oh my...are we changing the blog name to Goose and Wheel with String next???? I know she's no duck, but, quite the nice mascot. P.S....I think that lady sews those outfits just to fit that goose!
But Mary Ellen fits in to your neighborhood so well!
*giggle* ~ you always make me laugh Lin!
Hope you ae having a terrific weekend friend!
xo Catherine
Just paint a little tuxedo on the goose and call it a penguin. Instantly cooler than a dressed up goose.
Dam Pal I am feeling famous.
I think Mary Ellen could use a hat with a plume.
1. You have named the goose.
2. You have dressed the goose.
3. You are now the [proud?] owner of the goose. She is a Weidrville permanent resident!
I am with Nancy: change the blog name to Goose & Wheel with Stringy Hair!
Awww Mary Ellen looks so cute!!
You're too funny! Poor Mary Ellen.
Lola--Look at you being first! You shouldn't have said anything--I would never have suspected YOU! Now I KNOW it's you if a new goose appears. And if you do....prepare to die!
Grace--I was gonna say...don't you think these dressed up geese are too cutesy?? I do. Ack. I'm gonna send it to your house, Grace. Maybe you can dress her as a gargoyle.
DG--Me too, DG. I'm tired of moving her heavy butt around.
Pricilla--I'm thinking I should put an ad in the local paper to see if anyone is missing their goose. Do you think there can be another happy reunion???
Melodie--Are you kidding? I'm hoping somebody steals her!!!
Nancy--The day I have a goose on my front porch is the day I change the name of this blog to "Goose with dress in trash can"! I'd like to toss her...if only I could lift the damn thing.
Sharky--True, how true! But does it have to be on MY porch????
Catherine--And so that makes you the winner of a cement goose, Catherine! (sigh. If only I could afford to ship that thing)
Lauren--Any way you dress it, it is STILL a cement goose. Kill. Me. Now.
Jodi--I'm drawing the line at actually looking for clothes for that horrid thing!
Vanilla--Guess what gift you are gonna get when and if we meet?
Daisy--Don't be encouraging these folks, Daisy!!!
Stephanie--She's so ugly, she's cute.
Petula--I kinda feel bad hating on her all the time. And I feel guilty that I keep her behind the shed by the garbage cans.
Your cement duck is handling things well. I have plastic decoys in my front yard. People think they're real. I always wonder how they could think so because sometimes they're standing with their beaks in the ground and their tails in the air.
Marilynne--Maybe they are taking a nap! ;) I've fallen for those decoys before--until I've driven by them like a thousand times, then I start to ignore them. They are a ton better than cement geese dressed like Cher though, don't you think?
I agree with the rest. Goose and wheel with string sounds cool. Mary Ellen does look like Cher.
Lola-you know Lin's address-let's all start depositing them on her front step duck duck GOOSE!
This picture made me laugh. But please don't name your blog duck and wheel with string and goose blogspot com cos it's hard enough to type all that into an Iphone
