Duck Wearing Bow-Tie Walks Into Pub, Drinks Pint, Fights Dog, Loses

A bow-tie wearing duck has been injured in a drunken pub brawl with a local dog in Chulmleigh, Devon.
The booze-loving bird, affectionately named Star, was enjoying a pint in The Old Courthouse Inn with his handler, Barrie Hayman, when Hayman's canine Meggie sparked a bar brawl.
Star was left with injuries to his beak after the fight.
"Star pushed his luck too far and Meggie snapped - splitting Star's bottom beak right down the middle," Hayman, 69, told the Cheddar Valley Gazette.
"He gave her a stare, then promptly stood on her back. It was not pretty and not nice. We were so scared we would lose Star.
...
Hayman has cared for Star ever since he was a chick, carrying him around in his pocket. Once the duckling grew up, he developed a taste for real ale and started following his owner to the pub.
"He just won't leave me and so we go everywhere together," Hayman said. "I've not trained him to follow me. He just seems to like it and he is one fantastic duck.
"He loves to come to the pub, where everyone loves him. He is such a personality and attracts so much attention."
I don’t know how to feel about this barkeep raising a boozy duck.
I had the same thought.
Animals like altered mind-states too.
I don't miss Reddit often, but when I do, it's because a certain duck-obsessed novelty account would have a field day with this.
HouseHouse really need to make another Untitled Goose Game, or even just an expansion pack. That was great fun.
Thanks for the reminder of the worst part of the worst season of The Wire 😮💨
That's the kind of shit Ziggy would do
Yeah. Ziggy was a real shithead.
You couldn't help rooting for him most of the time, though, even as you were frustrated about what a shortsighted jerk he kept being 😄
I just kind of wanted to punch him all the time but his ultimate fate got to me a little bit.
How does a bow-tie wear a duck? 🤔
