Utah addresses sound dull.
Perhaps I'm getting old, but I prefer bluntness.
Using a fish to meet someone is just dorky. I doubt Paul agreed to be used that way.
If it were me, well, I would probably be very interested in discovering who sent me the fish. I'd be displeased with the roommates for their negligence, and express said displeasure to them. (Not so much about the fish but the email thing.) And I'd do whatever it took to find out who the person was.
I've been refished.
After receiving several very uninformative emails from the phantom person...
* We have 3 emails. Two with IP addresses traced back to BYU, one with an IP traced to "Utah Comcast."
* Two of the emails were sent right around 5:00 pm (both from BYU.) Getting out of class at 4:50, perhaps? Or, does the person work on BYU campus, and is checking their email before they leave work?
* We have two 'notes' given by the person. Both printed by an inkjet printer.
* We have one betta fish, named Roy, who has so far been decidedly closed-mouthed about his origins.
* His bowl had half of a sticky barcode on it, the only legible letters saying "ng Company" with a trademark symbol after it. (Might be an mg--or something else. The first letter is torn in half.)
Honestly, this informaton is worthless unless you are going to go to the companies HoM listed and see what the price is for a fishbowl that brand and size. Then we could tell if this was a student or not, probably. No student (unless she is rich) could afford a great fish bowl on the grounds of stalking a proffesor...
Well, we would need to figure out her forum name, assuming she has one. If not, then she is coming in as a guest...
Guys, have sense. Somehow this person knows that fish number 1 died. Therefore, it's someone who either was told about it by EUOL, or was told about it by someone who was told about it by EUOL (boy, that was a fun sentance to type). Plus, the notes/emails seem to be reacting to EUOL's conclusions on the matter.
Well, I emailed the address (as best my roommates could remember it.) We'll see if I get a response. Honestly, I think it's a kind of strange way to get ahold of someone. Perhaps I'm getting old, but I prefer bluntness.
My theory is one of your CW students stalking you.
Could we see these e-mails?
Brandon,
By the way, if you attempt to euthanize my (your) poor innocent unsuspecting fish in an effort to find out who I am through video surveillance, I will know. I have my ways.
And no, no matter what your friends say, I am not stalking you.

I say we threaten to torture the fish until he talks or she gives us some useful information. Yes, torture....
Believe what you want. In my opinion, the most amusing thing about all this is that I lied to a single one of you yet...
See the problem is going to be that I don't think most of the board members know you.
And see, that still means something's "fishy" about the whole affair, girls. If she doesn't have time for midnight raids, then why is Old One posting at 11:30 PM from an IP address that is used by Ms. Fish later? OO either had Ms. Fish over today, or was off at a computer lab (the Wymount one not being open that late) at that hour, leaving her available to run around at that hour. The latter leaves a whole in the "not able to run around" story Fuzzy gave, the previous proving a closer connection.
so, Ms. Fish. How long have you and Old One been room mates? (or, *gasp* the same person?!)
Don't evade the question, I'm pretty confident this is the case, as I have strong circumstantial evidence indicating it is so. Either that or one of you had the other over last night for a late evening.
2) we don't have secret agents lurking around computer labs to see who is there--even if we knew precisely what computer MsFish was sitting at.
And in other news, I find it humorous that people like Gorgon and OutKast are asking for hints: even if she said her name, it wouldn't mean anything to them.
How about you go buy one and eat it?
No, the really great irony is that if I said my name, it wouldn't mean a thing to *any* of you.
For goodness sakes, leave the poor fish in peace.
How about you go buy one and eat it?
Y'all are funny.
Also, when did we learn for certain that she had taken his class? I thought both of these were still speculation.
who, you'll notice hasn't posted to this thread in about a week. My guess is that he already knows who she is.
No its more like he's lost intrest in this thread, like most of us.
