"This site designer needs to definitely get rid of the heading on this site with the fork and duck, and oh yeah the nerd on the building. Who would be satisfied with that "art" work??? Definitely needs to go. Otherwise, a good and informative site!"

Oh man, that's hilarious.
And that cute nerd on the building? He sure can wield a pair of chopsticks!

that commenter is obviously high.
The Fork & Duck?
good name for an english pub, maybe.

I rather like it. It is different and eye-catching and it makes me smile.
Posted by Linda | August 6, 2006 11:58 AM
The nerd is hot. No question, he stays. :-)

I rather prefer the "knife and bagel".

The nerd hanging out on the building is happy, which makes me happy. Anyway hes a cutie!

Well if he knows how to do a nice duck dish, then its Ok by me!!

Actually, I think the "art" work banner is funny and eye-catching! (Even if that particular shot makes you look rather like Ted from Queer Eye.)

the third duck's wings should be different.

I've found your blog recently and the first thing I thought when I saw that nerd on the building was "it must at least be funny!".

Re Ted from Queer Eye -- I've always thought that photo looks like him. What's not to love? Anyway, great banner.

i like the banner! i think it does a great job of capturing the lighthearted mood and humor that you infuse your blog with! keep it up! and besides, i too think that the 'nerd on the building' is cute! :)

Hey, nerds are who make the world go around!
Posted by Goldielox | August 7, 2006 3:31 AM
I find it offensive to stick a fork in a mallard.
Posted by Liz | August 7, 2006 7:33 AM
I like your heading and it's humoristic aspect ("nerd" and all)... It is an eye-catching and unique kind of banner, so there's nothing wrong with it.
Posted by Rosa | August 7, 2006 9:10 AM
The nerd is ugly!!! His face has a wierd expression
Posted by Marissa | August 7, 2006 10:14 AM
Hey, isn't that the same nerd WITH A BOOK CONTRACT???
Geez. :D
And those angelic bagel wings are made of Temptee. Gotta go get breakfast.

I agree with the comment

I love the non-solicited advice. Hey buddy, who asked ya?!
Posted by tokyoastrogirl | August 7, 2006 1:05 PM
Oh my god...he *does* look like Ted! And Ted is the Foodie One! This is like Michael & LaToya -- has anyone ever seen The AG and Q-Ted in the same place at the same time? Coincidence??? :P

1.) What duck? I see flying bagels.
1a.) What fork? I see a knife.
2.) If it weren't for the 'nerd' striking the King Kong-esque pose on the top of the building, we wouldn't have this site to enjoy.
3.) Go pick on someone your own size!
I think the Fork and Duck is a fab name. Or perhaps the Forked Duck. I could go on but don't want to get edited and I think you all know where I'm headed anyhow. :-)

AG - didn't a cute little munchkin ask if that "nerd" in your header image was God? This asshole commenter is committing blasphemy!
Posted by The Guilty Carnivore | August 7, 2006 2:41 PM
I think it's a valid comment too.
Posted by rainey | August 7, 2006 2:58 PM
the funny thing is that whoever posted the original comment will no doubt return to the site, see a different (randomly chosen) header image and think their words must have been heeded. Hopefully s/he likes the flying fish...
Posted by zeep | August 7, 2006 4:13 PM
Ha! Who asked this person for his/her feedback! The whole comment is cracking me up.
Posted by Bethany | August 7, 2006 7:42 PM
Your banner is my kind of humor. I found it ingenious. I laughed and spit chunks of snot on my computer. I pity the fools who don't get it. Grey and dull shall be many days of their lives.
Posted by Bunghole | August 8, 2006 12:49 AM
it's so funny how the commenter obviously has no clue that "that nerd on the building" is you!
Posted by Jen | August 8, 2006 9:22 AM
Being anti-nerd is so Saved By the Bell.
Posted by m | August 12, 2006 12:50 PM
I can't see the banner on my home computer!!! I first saw it earlier in the week while checking the site from a hotel computer. How long has this hilarity been missing from my computer????? What else have I missed???
