Well, that's weird...


Well, that's weird, I thought as I peered into my aquarium, where're all the fish? I looked closer and they were all floating. That's not good. Interestingly, little bubbles were all over my plants - so many in fact, that one was freed from the gravel and floated up to the top.

I've been busy and away a lot, but I had an electronic feeder so they shoulda been fine. Sighing, I grabbed the net and began to reach into the tank to fish soma the poor buggers out when: ZZZZAP!!!!

I got a nasty, nasty shock and jumped back. I thought, That can't be. So I did what any red-blooded guy would do: I did it again

BAM! Another shock.

Dammit. The heater had fallen into the water and electrocuted all my fish.

I wish I could draw sometimes, because I think my life would make a good cartoon.

----------

I should be here until Friday for some work. I went to college there a long time ago. I'm looking forward to pigging out at the food hall - because, deep-down, I'm a fatty-fat-fat.

WTF? That is the weirdest thing I've ever heard. (As far as aquariums are concerned anyway.) Poor fishies.

I'm a stealth fatty too. Consider me your spiritual binge and purge partner.

They were delicious though...

KIDDING - they tasted terrible.

Yes, we'll have a secret handshake and eat complex carbohydrates on the sly.

Don't judge - I'm impoverished. Plus I fed them for years, it's only fair...

Yes, on special days, we can have a low-fat, low-carb ice cream sandwich.

I'm so coming too. And ordering a double fudge chocolate cream cake, and then slowly devouring it in front of you both.

Don't worry Logan. We'll just be all nice to him to his face but come up with innocuous words that we assign a double meaning in order to secretly bitch. Also . . . we won't teach him the secret handshake. . . . Or let him into the treehouse.

Yes, I got it back when I was young and had money.

Now, I'm just old and poor. With a big tank of water in the middle of my living room for absolutely no reason.

Hey there - I think I'm going to get some more Angelfish because they're my favorites. I also want to get a bunch of larger fish too since it's such a big tank but I don't know any names off the top of my head.

I may end up as you uncles some day.

Freshwater - and I barely have patience for that. I think I couldn't handle the saltwater. Too much hassle.

I really don't understand WHY people (guys, usually) feel it's necessary to try getting shocked more than once. At least you stopped after the second time...

Poor fishies though, what a terrible way to go.
