Alaskan Dude Skips Rocks On Frozen Lake

Mind = blown.

First time I heard this was when I was around 7 years old, but replace the rock with a dead duck and replace the guy in this video with my uncle with a shotgun.

...in other words, you've never done this.

Gosh, I seem to recall it quite well, as do my 2 brothers and 2 cousins, and said uncle that was there, along with his dog that jumped in the water, breaking the ice to retrieve the duck....but as an internet stranger, I trust your judgement.

Oh, I'm sure you did some stuff with a frozen duck and a shotgun, but I meant that that situation is far from skipping a rock on a frozen lake.

Well, to put too fine a point on it, agreed. You are correct. I have never skipped a rock off this particular ice-encrusted lake in Alaska.

Bad day?

My point is that at analogies only go so far. For example, if I said, "I did the same thing once, but instead of a lake it was my car, and instead of a rock it was a candybar", I don't think anybody would make the connection.

I don't know if he should be referred to as an Alaskan dude when he's clearly never been near an ice covered lake before.

oohlalasassoonsays...

Aww, the analogy wasn't that bad, come on. Something hits the ice on a lake and makes this particular sound in each case. It's that unique sound I was referring to, not the rock skipping part. In the future I'll need to craft my beer-fueled attempts at humor more clearly.

Sorry but I'm confused too.
How did your uncle replicate this sound with a dead duck and a shotgun?
Duck was on the lake and your uncle took a shot at it and the pellets skipped over the ice?
