*Holds hat and bows head while Taps are played*

That's right, folks. Serious Rubber Ducky is no longer with us. It turned out I must have saved him to the wrong file location the other day, and he was lost in a daily excess-file purge or something along those lines.

He was a great and hideously terrifying duck, and would have most certainly been Satan's bathtub squeaking or the spawn of the Lochness Monster. He will live on in our hearts and memories, though. Maybe even one day we'll have another Serious Ducky on our hands. But in the meantime, let us have a moment of silence to honor the lost.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
