Hi there, I'm GuardDuck. For those of you who don't know, Guard Duck is one of the main characters in the comic Pearls Before Swine, which is probably my favorite comic ever.
+
-
==My interests in Homestarrunner and the Wiki==
+
-
Gosh, where to begin... I've been a user on wikipedia for a long time, so I know the basics about editing and such. I had actually never heard of Homestarrunner till this year, when my friend showed it to me. Since then, I have enjoyed it quite a bit. He then showed me the wiki, after I mentioned that I was an avid Wikipedia user, and I figured I might as well try and contribute with my limited Homestarrunner knowledge.
+
-
==Intrests==
+
-
Well, where to begin... while TV isn't my thing, there are a few shows I absolutely love... <i>[[Wikipedia:Monk (TV series)|Monk, [[Wikipedia:Doc Martin|Doc Martin]], [[Wikipedia:Family Guy|Family Guy]], [[Wikipedia:American Dad!|American Dad]],</i> and <i>[[Wikipedia:South Park|South Park]]</i> are my favorites.
+
-
I'll just get this out of the way: I hate playing almost all sports.  I suspect this could be because my right eye is (almost) blind, meaning I have zero depth perception, but I think it's mostly just that the idea of teams and scores and such just doesn't interest me.  As such, I'm not a huge baseball, basketball, or football fan.  Sorry.
+
:''This article is about the HRWiki user. For the [[Wikipedia:Pearls Before Swine (comic strip)|Pearls Before Swine]] character, see [[Wikipedia:Pearls Before Swine (comic strip)#Guard Duck|Guard Duck]].''
-
I <i>do</i> enjoy recreational sports, that is, such as jogging, biking, hiking, swimming, skiing... you get the idea. Some of the more obscure ones are my favorites, which is probably why I own a unicycle, stilts, and a pogo-stick. I'm on the cross-country team at my high school, and I'm proud to say that we made districts last year, which is more than you can say for any of our other teams.  (Our big win was really due to the other 49 runners than me, but I tend to ignore that).
+
-
I think it's fairly obvious I spend a lot of time on the computer.  You can often find me cruising [[http://www.youtube.com/|Youtube]], [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page|Wikipedia]], [[http://www.kongregate.com/|Kongregate]], [[http://digg.com/|Digg]], and of course [[http://www.facebook.com/|Facebook]], which has sort of become a deity for me.  I read many blogs, (My favorites are [[http://joshreads.com/|The Comics Curmudgeon]] and [[http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/|Stuff White People Like]]), and even keep one of my [[http://monodreams.blogspot.com/|own]], although to say it's updated frequently would be a total exaggeration.

 +
You've done everything on your email show, from blowing up<br />
 +
the Empire State Building to instructing us how<br />
 +
to prune a hydrangea, but you've never told us anything<br />about yourself.<br />
 +
<br />

P.S. Have you ever heard of this "Homestar Runner" thing<br />

that people are always talking about?  What about the Homestar<br />

Runner Wiki?</blockquote>
 +
 
 +
'''GUARD DUCK:''' ''{typing}'' You know what Reginald? You're absolutely correct. I think you all deserve to know a little bit about me.  Well, for starters, I'm a 14-year-old dude in his first year of High School.  I'm a geek, and I pretty much spend my time just hanging out here in my bedroom.  But enough about me.
 +
 
 +
''{Guard Duck gets up and walks off screen.  Cut to Guard Duck wearing a light jacket, standing in front of the entrance to the Seattle Space Needle.  People walk by him, some looking at him curiously.  It is raining, as is wont in Seattle.}''
 +
 
 +
'''GUARD DUCK:''' So, I live here, in Seattle.  It's a pretty cool city, even if we only get 50 clear days a year.  I've lived here for a very long time, and I've never gotten tired of it.
 +
 
 +
''{Guard Duck begins taking a stroll down to the International Fountain; <strike>Due to his dashingly good looks, many of the tourists around gaze at him in awe as he walks.</strike> The tourists around him look at him in disgust, noting his shoddy clothes and odd behavior.  He is oblivious to their disapproval.}''
 +
 
 +
'''GUARD DUCK:''' I enjoy reading, several of my favorite authors are Scott Westerfeld and Anthony Horowitz, and I maintain a blog that I update... occasionally.  I've been playing the piano for 9 years, which, of course, you all saw in Email #36 when I saved the world from nuclear annihilation by playing a wonderful rendition of Brahms' "Intermezzo in A Minor."

 +
''{Pauses to buy some caramel corn from a street vendor.}''

[edit] Transcript

GUARD DUCK: {singing} Hum dee dum, time to check the email... {opens email, stops singing} Wow, Hotmail is taking forever... ah, there we go.

{reading email}

GUARD DUCK: {typing} You know what Reginald? You're absolutely correct. I think you all deserve to know a little bit about me. Well, for starters, I'm a 14-year-old dude in his first year of High School. I'm a geek, and I pretty much spend my time just hanging out here in my bedroom. But enough about me.

{Guard Duck gets up and walks off screen. Cut to Guard Duck wearing a light jacket, standing in front of the entrance to the Seattle Space Needle. People walk by him, some looking at him curiously. It is raining, as is wont in Seattle.}

GUARD DUCK: So, I live here, in Seattle. It's a pretty cool city, even if we only get 50 clear days a year. I've lived here for a very long time, and I've never gotten tired of it.

{Guard Duck begins taking a stroll down to the International Fountain; Due to his dashingly good looks, many of the tourists around gaze at him in awe as he walks. The tourists around him look at him in disgust, noting his shoddy clothes and odd behavior. He is oblivious to their disapproval.}

GUARD DUCK: I enjoy reading, several of my favorite authors are Scott Westerfeld and Anthony Horowitz, and I maintain a blog that I update... occasionally. I've been playing the piano for 9 years, which, of course, you all saw in Email #36 when I saved the world from nuclear annihilation by playing a wonderful rendition of Brahms' "Intermezzo in A Minor."

{Pauses to buy some caramel corn from a street vendor.}

GUARD DUCK: I consider myself to be a very kind, compassionate, and caring towards others, and have done everything I can to help my fellow human beings.

{A street urchin, clearly freezing, starved, and miserable, crawls up to Guard Duck}

STREET URCHIN: Please Sir, won't you spare some change for a kind soul?

GUARD DUCK: Shut up kid! Get a stupid job! {Resumes walking} Anyway, onto your next question. Yes, I've been a big fan of Homestar Runner, ever since 5th grade, when Homestar mania briefly swept my elementary school class. Most of the other kids abandoned it after a couple weeks, but something about it stuck with me. As for the wiki, I was introduced to it a couple years ago by a friend with the peculiar name of "Bubsty," who showed me the article on the toon called "Date Nite." To use a common wiki cliché, I was hooked.

{Cut back to Guard Duck at the computer}

GUARD DUCK: {Typing} Most of my edits around the wiki include gnome work, adding Fun Facts, and answering questions when I can. I also enjoy writing extremely long user pages that no one reads. Don't ask me why. Well, that's the end of our show. Join us next week, when I wrestle a 400 pound Siberian Snow Leopard... and win!

{The Paper comes down.}

[edit] Easter Eggs
