they do this because they have no middle fingers, I suppose

Working today. Composition area guarded by Attack Fish ... or possibly Projectile Bad Attitude Fish. At the very least he is deeply disgruntled, and inclined towards intense aquatic profanity should his caretaker monkey be disturbed.

How does a fish flip you off?

I swear, you'd think we kept him in a soap dish and fed him moldy Pringles or something.

Oh lordy, President Roslin has been doing this nonstop since I added those other two female bettas. Poor Adama is just all beat up. I'm starting to think that Roslin is actually male, not female, and these two new bettas just completely tipped her/him over the edge into "THIS IS MY LAND AND YOU BE MY WOMENS" instead of the more lackidasical additude s/he had before. *sigh*

As a complete aside... The kittens are so damn cute! At four weeks old, they are now out of the box and moving all over the place. I just had all three of them curled up on me with momma cat looking on like "you babysit them for a while." You /must/ come over and visit.

I am sure this has been asked before, but what does your cat think on the subject of fish?

She'd prefer that he stay up on his shelf, thank you very much.

His response is, I'm afraid, quite unprintable.

Dude. That is one SERIOUSLY grumpy face on that fish.

I cower in terror.

Do fish have comfort food?

Poor cranky thing definitely needs *something* to bust him out of that mood. Perhaps some garbage-bag-opening in his general direction? You know, like scaring away hiccups?

Re: Do fish have comfort food?

Wait. Have you ever heard the expression, "if you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him?" Maybe he saw the Buddha in his tank and wants to kill it.

No, I don't think I've ever heard that before. You may really be onto something, there!
