Duck Ridge — Local scarecrow and part-time existentialist Aaron has once again ignited controversy with his latest plan to "shatter the comfort illusions" of Duck Ridge residents. Standing at the edge of Town Hall (despite repeated trespassing warnings), Aaron unrolled a 27-foot scroll detailing a new multi-phase “fearwave initiative.”

“This time, I’ve calibrated the resonance. The terror will be archetypal,” Aaron muttered, wind whistling through his hollow chest cavity. “The ducks will finally understand what lurks beneath.”

The Plan Includes:

  • Planting emotional tripwires in public parks.

  • Launching a fear-based podcast called “The Crow Screams Twice” featuring no actual audio, just static and eerie silence.

  • Replacing all duck crossing signs with mirrors.

Witnesses reported seeing Aaron chasing after schoolchildren with copies of a homemade zine titled “Love Is a Lie: A Strawman’s Manifesto.” The zine contains poems, diagrams of shadow realms, and at least one incorrect usage of the word “quantum.”

Tina said she gave it a skim:

“It’s basically Tumblr meets conspiracy thread. I liked the font, though.”

Bossy refused comment, but was seen installing fresh garlic strands around the fountain “just in case.”

Stux reportedly asked Where he could get that "cool costume", not realizing Aaron is a literal evil scarecrow. hes not a spirit halloween costume.

When asked what would happen if this plan failed, Aaron replied,

“Then we escalate to Crowform Protocol.”
No one knows what that means, but it definitely sounds illegal.

🦆 OPINION: “Faith, Freedom & Fireworks”
 

By Reverend Ezekiel Honkabee, Duck Ridge’s Chosen Lightbringer

“As it is written in the Book of Honk 17:4 — ‘And lo, the duck who questioned tradition was cast into the shallow end, for his feathers were soft and his beliefs squishy.’”

 

Let me be clear: I love Duck Ridge. Not like those tofu-eating pond skeptics who want to replace our hymnbooks with pronouns and our flag with a QR code. No, I love this town the right way—through selective scripture, American-made fireworks, and prayer-led legislation.

Lately, I’ve seen a troubling rise in what I call “Wokeness in Wingtips.” You’ve seen them—ducks with feather dye, whispering about “inclusive zoning” and “feelings.” Listen, feelings are what caused the Fall. And the only zoning I believe in is the Good Book's zoning: Heaven above, Hell below, and Duck Ridge in the exact center.

The leftist media (read: The Beacon) would have you believe truth is a matter of “fact.” Well, my truth comes from two sources: the Lord Almighty and my uncle’s Facebook page. And both told me the same thing: if we let these lily-livered liberals legalize thinking, next thing you know we’ll be marrying turtles and saluting rainbows.

Ask yourself this: who built this town? Patriots. God-fearing, duck-call-blowing, casserole-bringing patriots. And who’s trying to ruin it? A raccoon in a wizard hat, a dragon with delusions, and a scarecrow who’s never held a job. You do the math. (I won’t—I was homeschooled in math by scripture.)

Now they want to separate Church and Pond? Not on my webbed watch. Duck Ridge was founded on Faith, Freedom & Fireworks, and as long as I have a microphone, a pulpit, and a crate of emergency sparklers, I’ll fight for all three.

Vote Honkabee for everything.

  • “I saw a duck jaywalk and no one did anything. I took a photo. You’re welcome.”

  • “The HOA newsletter used Comic Sans again. I’m calling the mayor.”

  • "Stux keeps touching my lawn. I'VE HAD ENOUGH"

  • "That 'viral' video of me in that argument never happened..it was deepfake."

🐿️ Ask Pam: Tiny Crimes, Big Feelings

“Evil isn’t about scale. It’s about commitment.”

Dear Pam,
My roommate keeps stealing my almond milk. Should I poison it?
—Frustrated in Fridgeville

Pam Says:
No, dear. Too messy. Instead, replace it with expired oat milk. Every time. Evil is repetition.

 

Dear Pam,
I’m in love with a hen who’s dating a rooster from law school. How do I break them up?
—Heartsick & Hateful

Pam Says:
Easy. Start a rumor that he uses Bing. No hen will mate with a Bing-user. Trust me.

 

Dear Pam,
What’s a subtle way to ruin someone’s day without getting caught?
—Micro-Menacing in Meadowvale

Pam Says:
Adjust their clocks by 11 minutes. Not 10. Eleven. Chaos with plausible deniability.

Dear Pam,
Is it too evil to keep borrowing my neighbor’s hose and returning it slightly kinked?
—Hose Hustler

Pam Says:
Not evil enough. Tie one elegant knot and claim it was a blessing knot. Then walk away whistling.

About Me:
I live in my mom’s converted BASEMENT (for the privacy), bench 95 (on good days), and moderate three anonymous forums dedicated to the truth about modern duckmatriarchy. I’m a sapiosexual, meaning I value intelligence—just not when it disagrees with me.

My Ideal Mate:

  • Must be under 24 (mental age optional)

  • Must not have had “a phase”

  • Must cook, clean, and understand that emotional labor is just whining

  • Must love anime and be willing to cosplay as “Lady Beakona” from my unpublished fantasy novel

  • Must be aT LEAST A 9/)0!!!!

  • Must not ask questions like “what’s your job?” or “are you emotionally available?”

Bonus if: You have never heard of GhostWolf, LOVE TO DO OTHERS LAUNDRY, and have “natural” feathers.

The Fineprint (By Bucky Fineprint)

They told you there were hidden fees,

You nodded - lost in fantasies. 

The APR was just a tease,

Now we own your boat. And knees.

A clause so small, a pen can't see it.

But you agreed. You did. You see it.

We smiled. You signed. 

Your fault, not ours.

Correction from last weeks issue

*In last weeks issue of Duck News, we reported that Senator Slipstream "succesfully solved world hunger and world peace". That was in fact not accurate, but oh well the elections over. Whoopsies.

We don't spin the truth. We throttle it. Screaming is the new knowing.
