    Funny, they look more like a Pisces to me.

    “The symbol for Aquarius is the Water-Bearer, a universal man who is pouring forth water from a jug. This universal man represents the community of mankind. The waters of life flow, like ideas coming from the unrestrained mind. Many people mistakenly think that Aquarius is a water sign, but it is an intellectual air sign. As such, Aquarius can be interested in concepts and ideas but hates to be bothered with details…”

    Perfect.

      It looks like a cinder block which explains both the brokenness and the dead fish.

        Cinder block in the aquarium? Guess someone misunderstood the Don when he ordered that hit: “Make sure he sleeps with the fishes.” “Okay, boss, you got it…”

      Does that explain why the carpet is totally discolored? Do fish enjoy swimming in bleach?

      When the room is in Sparky’s house
      And the rent has gone unpaid
      Then the aquariums will go on CraigList
      And show up on YSaC one day!

      That doesn’t sound odd at all. I mean if I didn’t know what you were talking about I would just assume that your follicles had decided to take a different route than normal and were growing down into your skull instead of out into the wild world of Paul Mitchell. That’s perfectly understandable if your hair is shy but I strongly recommend buying a hat because it looks pretty damn freaky.

    Hey just wanted to warn you – comments are turned off on the post about your interview, but you might want to add a NSFW message on that announcement. When I opened the link there was a “Live girl on cam” right next to your interview with her hand stuck in her blindingly pink bikini bottoms.

        Hopefully by now that girl has moved on to better things. Maybe she’s even done working her way through college. At the very least, she has to have been satisfied between now and then.

    One foot aquarians? Is that those merfolk advertised in comic books?
    Better short than one as tall as Daryl Hannah, and easier to keep in the bathtub.

        Patrick Duffy. I had a poster of him as the Man from Atlantis. I’m also getting a terrible sense of deja vu as I’m sure I had a conversation online about this not long ago – maybe on Facebook.

          Good luck, Windy! I had my garage sale last weekend and had a decent return. Only three boxes of stuff left over. I put an ad for them on Craigslist, listing them as year-end necessities with a picture of them covered with a tarp. I am asking $4/box, $10/2 boxes or take them all for free. Since today is the day the world is going to end, I’m sure they will be gone by noon. I’ll keep you posted.

      I have trouble snarking on weekends because these old listings confuse me and I end up snarking about something someone said in 2009 and the person may not even be still reading.

        Story time!

        When I was little we had an aquarium and a few goldfish. One morning we noticed one of the fish was missing, so we start looking around to see if we can find it before it starts making its presence known. I find something in front of the air register and call Mom over.

        “I found the fish.”

        “That’s not the fish, it’s just a leaf.”

        “Leaves don’t have eyes, Mom.”

        The hot air had dehydrated the poor thing, it looked like an itty-bitty potato chip made of fish.

      Had to be postponed as the Seraphim & Cherubim Union had a stop work action until the question of OT compensation for working on Saturday was resolved.

        That’s about right. We also traded a box of tools for 50# of bird seed. 8) So I guess that is another $20 we made. All in all, pretty good, and I still have someone interested in the clothes.
