Re: OMG! One of my nightmares is for sale!
One of my goldfish DID try to swim through the air earlier this week. My husband went down the hallway and thought it was a dog toy lying on the floor. Then he realized it was the fish (our goldfish are monsters - about 6 inches long). He said it was dead. I saw its gills move so I picked it up by its tail and put it back in with the others. It gasped then went to the bottom and stayed real still for over an hour. I thought it had been too late and it really was dead, but when I nudged it with the net it jerked and swam around. It's still alive.

Boy, are you cheap. I'll bet you keep the stray lost sojourner - a Wisconsin delicacy, I hear - for your own larder.

Re: OMG! One of my nightmares is for sale!
Lost sojourners are a delicacy in Plainfield, Wisconsin. Unfortunately my dermestid colony isn't as large as needed for lost sojourners. UW can handle them though.http://www.zoology.wisc.edu/uwzm/bugroomhistory.htmlNanohedron wrote:You feed your housekeepers cats???dwest wrote:...until the dermestids have cleaned the bones a bit.

Funny Story:
My wife once found a koi in our yard. Her immediate response was that we had finally personally experienced the phenomenum of a fish rain. Always one to burst her bubble, I told her a cat probably caught one from the neighbor's koi pond.

Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free

Re: OMG! One of my nightmares is for sale!
We get shad and herring on the driveway, I really can't stand those scuzzy scavenging Eagles picking on ma Ospreys. Then there are the folks who put up Osprey nesting towers and change their minds and try to call them cell phone towers, what's the deal with that. Eagles do like kitties though, cheap fast food, here kitty kitty.Denny wrote:had a salmon one time

Re: OMG! One of my nightmares is for sale!

Re: OMG! One of my nightmares is for sale!
Talk about goldfish nightmares...I had a dream the other night that I'd dropped my cell phone in a bucket of water. It swelled to three times its normal size and, in an effort to save it, I pried off the back to drain the water out of it...only to find two goldfish swimming inside!

Re: OMG! One of my nightmares is for sale!
Aside from the death of the cell phone, I realized that, as the water drained out, the fish were going to die, so I started frantically looking for a faucet to fill it up again (that's when I woke up).dwest wrote:I don't get it, what's the down side?Redwolf wrote:Talk about goldfish nightmares...I had a dream the other night that I'd dropped my cell phone in a bucket of water.

OMG! Unless you live somewhere there is no chlorine in the water or you had anti-chlroinator on hand, you were going to be a pescamuertador or ichthycidist or something like that.
