Do fish have wet dreams?

 

Wet Dream

by Kip Adadda

 

It was the 41st of April, being a quadruple leap year.

I was driving through downtown Atlantis.

My Barracuda was in the shop, so I was in a rented Stingray, and it was overheating.

I pulled off into a Shell station.

They said I'd blown a seal.

I said, "Fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it, okay pal?"

 

While they were doing that I walked over to a place called "The Oyster Bar" -- a real dive.

But I knew the owner -- he used to play for the Dolphins.

I said "Hi, Gil!" You have to yell, he's hard of herring.

Gil was also down on his luck.

Fact is, he was barely keeping his head below water.

 

I bellied up to the sandbar.

He poured me the usual -- Rusty snail, hold the grunnion, shaken, not stirred.

With a peanut-butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side -- heavy on the mako.

I slipped him a fin - on porpoise.

I was feelin' good. I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's squids.

For the halibut.

 

Well, the place was crowded.

We were packed in like sardines.

They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal.

What sole.

Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna, Salmon-chanted evening,

And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers -- Probably there to see the bass player.

One of them was this cute little yellowtail, and she was giving me the eye.

So I figured this was my chance for a little fun.

You know, piece of pisces.

But she said things I just couldn't fathom.

She was too deep. Seemed to be under a lot of pressure.

Boy, could she drink. She drank like a- She drank a lot.

 

I said "What's your sign?" She said, "Aquarium."

I said, "Great! Let's get tanked!"

I invited her up to my place for a little midnight bait.

I said, "C'mon, baby, it'll only take a few minnows."

She threw me that same old line, "Not tonight. I've got a haddock."

 

And she wasn't kidding either, cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock I'd ever seen come down the pike.

He was covered with mussels.

He came over to me, he said "Listen, shrimp, don't you come trollin' around here."

What a crab. This guy was steamed. I could see the anchor in his eyes.

I turned to him, I said "A-balone. You're just bein' shellfish."

 

Well, I knew there was going to be trouble, and so did Gil, cause he was already on the phone to the cods.

The haddock hits me with a sucker punch.

I catch him with a left hook. He eels over.

It was a fluke, but there he was, lyin' on the deck, flat as a mackerel. Kelpless.

I said, "Forget the cods, Gil, this guy's gonna need a sturgeon."

 

Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend.

She came over to me, she said "Hey, big boy, you're really a game fish. What's your name?"

I said, "Marlin."

 

Well, from then on, we had a whale of a time. I took her to dinner. I took her to dance.

I bought her a bouquet of flounders. And then I went home with her.

And what did I get for my trouble?

A case of the clams.

If "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language - could it be that "i do" is the longest sentence?

I thought the shortest sentence was "no?" :confused:

 

Just uploaded most of my cat id pictures to flickr . Must use better interface next time.

Kitty overload! ^ v ^

 

Do fish have wet dreams?

Could be. Mackenzie Blaise sure does.

"Go." actually. This is using the implied subject rule. "I am." is the shortest sentence requiring no implications or elucidations. Even "I do." still leaves the question do what? "I am." is complete and self contained.

 

 

 

 

Why yes, I am a nerd. Why do you ask?

But you're the good kind of nerd. ^ v ^

 

 

Lemming, I found a cat who looks kind of like my Risu in your collection (Page 7, "Harry"). And a few dozen who look like Herc. He's a black cat with enough siamese in him that he's talkative and skinny; no shortage on his type in shelters. Unfortunately. :(

Well yes I am a registered REPUBLICAN, and have been all my adult life!

 

So is the Bunny.

 

Death Tribble is from the UK. I believe he may be registered as a City Destroying Menace Bent On World Domination, but I can't be sure.

 

True. But as long as the Americans toss Liberal around as defamatory I'll sling Republican back the same way.

Democrat just does not have the same kind of ring to it. Nor Conservative for that matter.

Re: Musings on Random Musings

 

I'm not in much better shape. As far as working out goes' date=' this whole year was a wash. Between injury, illness, sleeping problems, and work, I haven't gone to class too often this year. I could have tested for 3rd Dan had I gone to class more often. I've gained a bit of weight this year, and I doubt I'll lose it during the holidays.[/quote']. . . I thought I would be trying for 1 Kyu during Christmas, but I now think work and me not going to class will take care of that notion. :ugly:
I remember you saying you broke your foot earlier this year, and I know how long it takes foot injuries to heal. So don't be too hard on yourself. Maybe you need a sabbatical. That's what I'm doing this year; I'll return to my workouts next year.
My foot-problems seem to be clearing up; yesterday I felt nothing of it (though that might be thanks to the ibuprofen I took before the session ^^). I give thanks to the physical therapist and the nice lady at the shoe department at the sports store.

What about the greeting: "Hi!"

 

And wouldn't "Stay." or "Stop." fall in the same category as "Go."?

As far as I can recall, "Hi!" is not technically a sentence.

 

Yes, "Stay." and "Stop." both fall in the same category as "Go." but, well, they're two letters longer, aren't they? ;)

Is Zeus missing a front leg?

Yep. IIRC, that leg was in bad shape, but it was either from birth or quite some time before he was found. He had been hanging out at a feral colony, but certainly not feral. The vets couldn't do anything for the leg, so they took it off.

 

He gets around well enough and is a real cool cat.

Sounds a bit like a freinds cat, who had it's umbilical wrapped around it's back leg at birth. She lost it from just above the ankle. The only time it bothers her is when she itches on that side or wants sympathy. (And I've seen her limp across the floor, then leap 3 foot into the air after a bug.)
