While some may consider it a rather barbaric pastime, I rather enjoy the thrill of venturing into a marsh in the early hours of the morning and I love the satisfaction of dressing and cooking a prize.

Colonel had been going around with a fake name and stand in the military, but Hummel comes in with proof that he is not exactly who he says he is.

comedic differences in Duck Soup and Dr. Strangelove, many of the comedic conventions, such as the importance of dialogue, have not drastically changed. As Stanley Kubrick once proclaimed, “If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered” (Sperb).

The product I will be importing is a mallard duck squeaky dog toy. I chose this product because I have had dogs all my life and have seen how expensive dog toys can be. I wanted to see for myself what the markup on a typical dog toy is. I also wanted to find a product that I might actually purchase for myself and my dog. This product is a luxury item for dogs.
