grrr.

Hey, they are safe for me, just not for everyone who are not me. It sometimes amazes me the number of people who arn't me, and i simply cannot concieve how they survive throughout the day. But yeah, they might not be terribly safe, but i am, and thats all i care about.

See, this is the sort of thing that demonstrates why it's wise to neuter your pets. Someone get the clippers.

[Entsuropi]

OI! Use the N word again and i'm afraid i'm gonna have to demonstrate why i love shotguns.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

That's ok. Once you're neutered you won't have the inclination to such violence.

[EUOL]

And, if the movie stereotypes are to be believed--and we all know they are--once you're castrated, you turn into a big, buff, bald, black guy.  

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

weird, you'd think you'd need the testosterone for that

(note, the above sentence is playing along with the fiction, let's not turn this into an endocrinology lecture)

[Mistress of Darkness]

Or a short, stubby, bald, wrinklely white dude

Guys, my fish just died.  It was kind of sad watching Mersault give up the ghost (it was a long, drawn out process,) and I'm not sure if I should feel guilty about it.  Here's why I think he died, in order of probability:

1. old age
2. he had a bad reaction to the harder water here in UT
3. some failing on my part that I can't identify

[Fellfrosch]

I'd go with three, just because I'm mean, but the real problem is that you moved closer to Tage. He has a fish-killing aura that extends over a fairly wide area.

[Mistress of Darkness]

It's not your fault. How old was your fish?

[Tage]

Yeah, it's probably my fault.

Hey, Chombone is still alive! That stupid koi will probably outlive everyone in my apartment.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

It's because I poiso... er.... yeah, I blame tage. And the children.

[Lieutenant Kije]

I'd say it was definitely old age if I knew when he was born, but they don't keep track of those things for fish, or at least the fish that I would own.  But he was going on 1.75 years in my care, which is pretty old for a betta.  Yes, Mersault is a betta.  Well, was a betta.  Now he's either my guardian angelfish, or an icthyodemon stoking the fires of hell, waiting to exact his revenge on me.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I like the demonic possibility. It's more picturesque. Also: funny.

[Entsuropi]

Out of passing fascination, how does a fish stoke a fire?
