Wanna buy a duck?

"Wanna buy a duck?" is an odd game that starts with one person asking "Wanna buy a duck?" to somebody. The questioned person then responds (as in Example 1, below), and once the exchange is completed, the person who was asked asks someone else, thus forming a long chain.

This game is somewhat popular at Lancaster because of the Duck, although it was in circulation prior to the Duck's purchase. It did not include the lines "Lemme hear it quack" and "QUACK!" until after 1994. It has also spawned many spinoff games.

It is a bad idea to attempt to play with unwilling people. There have been incidences where violence has ensued from overly insistent unwise advances.

The transfer of Wanna buy a duck to LOS

Some PCTYDers, frustrated with the lack of tradition, decided to transfer LAN traditions over to LOS. Blammo, Silent Football, and Wanna buy a duck were transferred, to the joy of many first sessioners.

While Silent Football was not enjoyed by the second sessioners, Blammo and Wanna Buy a Duck were embraced wholeheartedly by the PCTYDers of second session, and variations were made. Some include "Wanna buy Hunter's hair?" (A what, a Hunter's hair, does it poof, of course it poofs, let me see it poof, poof), "Wanna buy a poke?" (A what, a poke, does it poke, of course it pokes, let me hear it poke, *poke*) "Wanna buy an Allegra?" (A what, an Allegra, is she inappropriate, of course she's inappropriate, let me see her be inappropriate, *shakes head*) and many others. Emma M. promoted this game at reunions and other CTYer meet-ups.
