The Ducks of Doom Invade a Cupboard and Invent Toronto

I've written many stories about the Ducks of Doom, none of them coherent. I blame this on their murky origins--the ducks may have got their start when J. S. Mill opened a door leading into a utility cupboard in the Grand Imperial Lucky Chinese Restaurant (There's one on every planet, so it could have happened anywhere), or they may have got quacking when a mysterious privy flashed into existence in a park near George's Trains in Toronto--which, sadly, has moved to a distant suburb (the store, not Toronto).
You can't use the privy because there's a wizard in it, singing Jean-Paul Sartre's La Nausee at the top of his lungs while he reads about whalebone corsets in an ancient Sears catalog and waits for his malodorous cocoon to turn into a magical tent.
Yes.
It's not my fault.
Here is a superb Gothic style music cake with pet cats from Sweet Art Cakes in England. I find this very impressive. In fact, I think it belongs in an art gallery, or on a plate beside my keyboard, next to a handy fork.
And here, from Environmental Graffiti, is a rare picture of an 1840's era American steam engine, along with a  description of what is known about it. Steam engines are best appreciated while eating chocolate cake.
All aboard!
