Talk:Duck Duck Goose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WTH? Hard?
I suggest either expansion or deletion... this is basically meaningless.
This user has also posted nonsense in another new entry... A possible vandalism, or just someone being odd? --KA
As somebody born and raised in Minnesota, it is often very hard to convince that there is something known as "Duck Duck Gray Duck". As it turns out, I have just recently won a office arguement with assistance of this article. What's more, this is not the first time I have been caught in verbal fracus over this childs game; but in the past, I never won. My faith in my own memory and this childhood game has been restored.
But seriously... you other fellas ran in *opposite* directions? Wierd...
Well this just explained a Family Guy and FYAD joke to me. Consider it useful --Chips 20:16, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] duck duck goose
Startling new research shows that one out of every four children who play “duck duck goose” will suffer severe spinal cord degeneration when they are forty. Other studies show that an alarming number of children who play “duck duck goose” go on to become bank robbers and the leaders of drug cartels.

Please don't delete this. I have also solved an office argument over the duck duck goose vs. duck duck gray duck.
[edit] Duck Duck Drake
I remember playing this game many years ago as "duck duck drake". It was basically the same, except "drake" was called. I'm not sure if this is a regional variant or not.
[edit] regional variant
I really don't see how saying "Grey duck" instead of goose adds "layers" to the game... It's just a superficial change. I find the reference to "psychological warfare" to be completely inappropriate as well (to the point of ridiculousness). Themindset 18:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- "Psychological warfare" is definitely an absurd thing to call it, but "grey duck" does add layers of complexity that "goose "lacks; the former provides the ability to confuse the other players and gain more time to get around the circle, while the latter doesn't. (There aren't too many words that sound sufficiently like "goose".)134.29.33.111 19:49, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Needs sourcing.
"The game dates back to the early 1900's, the first recorded playing of the alternative was at Madison School in Minneapolis, where teacher Paul Connaker (October 25, 1883) used the alternative version of the game."--SeizureDog 23:46, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] It's duck duck grey duck
It's duck duck grey duck, I really don't know what Duck Duck Goose is, but it's grey duck not goose, because that's the way it is. It's not casserole either, it's hot dish, and it's not soda, it's pop. --Footballplayr69 02:06, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- It was "duck duck goose" when I was a kid in New York state. *Dan T.* 04:48, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- Haha, hells yes! Although actually I'd argue that there are plenty of things that can be properly called casseroles that don't meat the criteria for the hotdish label.134.29.33.111 19:50, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
