Every Christmas Eve, Selso, Moose, and Angela had a unique tradition: trying to catch a duck at the city park to spend Christmas with it. It all started one year when they jokingly decided to catch a duck for their holiday dinner, but instead, they ended up with a new feathered friend.
As Christmas Eve approached this year, the trio gathered their supplies: a large net, a loaf of bread, and a whole lot of determination. They set off to the city park, giggling and plotting their strategy.
"Alright, team," Selso said, adjusting his Santa hat. "Moose, you distract the ducks with the bread. Angela, you help me with the net. Let's get ourselves a Christmas duck!"
Moose nodded, scattering breadcrumbs around the pond. Ducks waddled over, quacking excitedly.
"Come and get it, duckies!" Moose called, waving the bread like a magician's wand.
Angela and Selso crouched behind a bush, ready with the net. They watched as one particularly plump duck strutted toward the crumbs, looking like the perfect Christmas guest.
"Okay, now!" Selso whispered, and they leaped out, net at the ready.
But the duck was no ordinary duck. It was a cunning and agile bird, dodging the net with remarkable speed. Selso and Angela stumbled over each other, while Moose laughed so hard he dropped the bread.
The duck quacked triumphantly and waddled away, leaving the friends in a heap.
"We almost had it!" Angela said, trying to catch her breath. "That duck is a ninja."
"Maybe we should just invite it politely," Moose suggested. "Ducks might respond better to manners."
Selso rolled his eyes but grinned. "Worth a shot. Let’s give it a try."
They approached the duck again, this time with Moose leading the way, a slice of bread in hand.
"Mr. Duck," Moose said, bowing slightly, "we cordially invite you to spend Christmas with us. We have breadcrumbs, a warm home, and plenty of holiday cheer."
To their surprise, the duck tilted its head, quacked softly, and waddled over to Moose. It seemed their polite invitation had worked!
The trio returned home with their new feathered friend, who happily pecked at crumbs and even joined in the Christmas carols. It wasn't just about catching a duck anymore; it was about the fun and laughter they shared every year.
From that day on, the Christmas duck became a beloved part of their holiday tradition, reminding them that sometimes, the best way to catch a friend is with kindness and a bit of holiday magic.

Selso and Moose had always been huge fans of Boyz II Men, and when they decided to start a podcast, their first episode had to be about the iconic song "Motownphilly."
"Alright, Moose, we need to come up with some killer show notes for our first podcast episode," Selso said, tapping his pen against the table.
Moose nodded enthusiastically. "Definitely! We need to make it catchy and fun. Let's start with an introduction."
"Good idea," Selso agreed. He wrote on the whiteboard, “Welcome to ‘Jam Room Tapes’ with Selso and Moose! Today, we’re diving into the classic Boyz II Men hit, ‘Motownphilly.’”
"Nice! Now, let's add some history about the song," Moose suggested. "Maybe mention how it blends Motown and Philly soul?"
"And don't forget the new jack swing influence!" Selso added, scribbling furiously. “Released in 1991, this track combines Motown, Philly soul, and new jack swing to create a timeless anthem.”
Moose laughed. "Perfect! Now, what about some fun facts? Like how Michael Bivins from Bell Biv DeVoe discovered Boyz II Men?"
"Great idea! And we should mention the guest rap by Bivins in the song," Selso said, adding it to their notes. “Fun Fact: Michael Bivins not only discovered Boyz II Men, but also rapped in ‘Motownphilly’!”
"Awesome!" Moose exclaimed. "Let's add a section about the song's impact too. How it peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped launch their career."
"Absolutely," Selso agreed. “‘Motownphilly’ was a major hit, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and catapulting Boyz II Men to stardom.”
Moose grinned. "And we can wrap it up with our personal thoughts on why we love the song."
"Right! We can each share a memory of when we first heard it," Selso said, jotting it down. “Selso and Moose’s Memories: Hear about our first experiences with ‘Motownphilly.’”
They stepped back to admire their work. The whiteboard was filled with vibrant notes and ideas, reflecting their excitement.
"We did it!" Moose said, high-fiving Selso. "This is going to be the best podcast ever!"
Selso smiled. "Absolutely! Now, let's hit record and share our love for ‘Motownphilly’ with the world!"
With their show notes ready, Selso and Moose were all set to bring their passion and humor to their podcast listeners, making their first episode a groovy success.

Selso and Moose were two inseparable friends with one shared dream: to meet Powerline, the legendary pop star from "A Goofy Movie." With Powerline's concert coming to their city, they devised a daring plan to sneak backstage and meet their idol.

"Okay, Moose, here's the plan," Selso said, looking around to make sure no one overheard them. "We dress up as stagehands and blend in with the crew. No one will suspect a thing!"

Moose, always up for an adventure, nodded eagerly. "Sounds foolproof! Let's do it."

They managed to get their hands on some stagehand outfits and made their way to the concert venue. As they approached the backstage entrance, they saw a security guard blocking the way.

"Leave it to me," Selso whispered, adjusting his hat.

Selso sauntered up to the guard and put on his most confident smile. "Hey there! We're the new stagehands. Got a lot of work to do before the show starts!"

The guard eyed them suspiciously. "I haven't seen you two before. What's your names?"

"Uh, I'm Sam and this is Mike," Selso quickly improvised.

Moose gave a nervous wave, trying to look as professional as possible.

The guard looked at his clipboard and shrugged. "Alright, go on in. But no funny business!"

Selso and Moose grinned as they slipped past the guard and into the bustling backstage area. They weaved through the maze of equipment and crew members, their excitement building with every step.

"This is amazing!" Moose whispered. "We're really doing it!"

Suddenly, they heard a commotion and saw Powerline himself walking down the hallway, surrounded by his entourage. Selso and Moose exchanged wide-eyed looks and tried to think of a way to get closer.

"I've got an idea," Selso said, grabbing a nearby pushcart loaded with equipment. "Follow my lead."

They pushed the cart down the hall, weaving through the crowd until they were right behind Powerline. Just as they were about to make their move, the cart hit a bump, sending equipment flying everywhere.

"Hey, watch it!" one of Powerline's entourage shouted.

Selso and Moose scrambled to pick up the fallen items, trying to avoid drawing more attention to themselves.

"Sorry about that," Selso muttered, his face turning red.

Powerline turned around, noticing the commotion. "What's going on here?" he asked, his voice calm but authoritative.

Selso and Moose froze, realizing they were caught. But instead of getting angry, Powerline chuckled. "You guys are new, huh? Don't worry about it. Just make sure everything's ready for the show."

Relieved and starstruck, Selso and Moose nodded vigorously. "Yes, sir! Thank you!"

As Powerline walked away, Moose whispered to Selso, "We may not have gotten to meet him properly, but at least we didn't get kicked out!"

Selso grinned, feeling a sense of triumph. "Hey, we got closer to Powerline than we ever dreamed. I'd call that a success!"

They spent the rest of the evening backstage, helping out and enjoying the concert from a unique vantage point. It was a night they would never forget, and their friendship was stronger than ever.
