Octangular Fish Tank Base Cabinet


Just what the title says. Octangular fish tank base cabinet for free. Nothing wrong with it just don’t have the tank anymore. Must take today.

I’ve been looking for an octangular object for my home for some time now. I just need to make sure it has the proper degree of octangularity. Can you take a few pictures so I can verify it’s octangularishness? Because if it’s not properly octuangulariffic, I don’t think it will meet my standards for octangularianarianism. So if you could just properly document all the octangles this thing has, I’ll be happy to take it off your hands, and put it in my late octangulantangential decor living room.

Thanks for the octabulousness, Ralph!

      If you actually had the tank, you could set up your own Octofeetical’s garden. Oh what joy for every Sparky boy….

      Just because Sparky puts -angular instead of -agon on the numerivalue, doesn’t mean we have to too.

      Octagon
      Heptagon
      Hexagon
      Pentagon
      Tetragon
      Trigon
      Digon
      Henagon

      Sparky might have an angle, but he’s gon.

    Sparky doesn’t tell us much about this. Is it regular octangular or high octangular? I need to know if my vertizontal fish will fit.

    Under the sea
    In an octangular fish tank base cabinet
    He’d have the base, just not the tank
    In his octangular fish tank base cabinet

    I’d ask my friends to come and see
    An octangular fish tank base cabinet with me

    I’d like to know more about what happened to the fish tank…..was it stolen by fish-nappers?…lost in a divorce settlement?…. or did sparky need it in his Chinese buffet restaurant?…..I’d just like to know more about this base cabinet’s karma before I bring it into my personal space.

    I just found a free fish tank on craigslist. It doesn’t look octangular, but it might fit anyway, and it “…WOULD BE GREAT FOR A TARAIUM.”

    And the “Free” category also has a ” free pedalstal sink and toilet.” I wonder if the pedalstal is octangular? It’s hard to find free stuff that matches.

      The combo sink/toilet is cost efficient and popular in frat houses. Just be sure to warn families with small children that there’s a pedalstal in the neighborhood.

      Fish! Fish! The musical dish.
      The more you eat, the more you wish.
      The more you wish, the better you sing.
      So why not eat fish with everything.

      Have some fish, just take a nibble.
      And you can sing like Ish Kabibble,
      Ginny Simms or Harry Babbitt.
      Find a bass and then just grab it.

      Edit: These singers were featured in the song “Three Little Fishies” along with Sully Mason. ..and Kay Kyser.

        Hey, Dan started it “Tako” (tah KOh) is Japanese for octopus (if more precisely the sushiya term for boiled octopus tentacles). Ergo, some Nihongo was apt.

        Kraken were invoked–an’ that’s piratin’ lingo; res ipsa loquitur.

        Then, our dear Windrose invoked Oktoberfest, which requires at least some German.

        I merely answered the need to provide content appropriately.

        No glitches with decoder rings or the like–so far, it is only Thursday.
