HAROLD IS DEAD!
Today at 3:22pm, Harold passed on to that big aquarium in the sky...Harold lived a rough life, swimming from foster home to foster home, but he always managed to have a smile on his fish lips. Actually, no, I'm just being nice. He was a bastard of a fish. Perhaps he just felt unloved since I was his 4th or 5th owner, but he was a trouble maker for sure. Definately a fighter, that crazy fish. His previous owner told me how he jumped out of the tank and lay on the carpet for HOURS (while the dog licked him nonetheless...) before being put back in the water and he still survived. Can you believe that Harold was 9 YEARS old!? Any how, he didn't go down with out a fight! I was on the phone with a customer when all of the sudden...SPLASH, CRASH, SLAM, SLAM, SPLASH, CRASH, POW, WAP, CRASH...He was freaking out and I seriously though he was going to break the tank (mind you, this ain't no flushable fish. Harold was at least 8" - 9" and had some serious weight behind him). I peeked out of the office in time to see the downward spiral. It was really sad. Here is an artists rendition of Harold now:

Oh my God
Oh no!
How decisive is the hand
That reaps the crop
And provides consolation
Alone in the God.
he looks to small and bony to make good sashimi..... dry him up, sell him to your local chinese shop for some obscure delicacy like baby "garupa" or something.
velly, good, velly good.
Poor fish. I have an Oscar and he's 12" and fat too. I know what you mean, I fear he will jump out or hurt himself when he darts around like that. Harold was a tough one, can't believe he survived outside water AND was lucky the dog didn't eat him!
Hey Thanks! Just noticed your link to my blog... I'll reciprocate just as soon as I work out how to do it..!
BTW. Love your panties!
Ms. Vicious ... actually, that's a kinda cool name too. Anyway, many thanks for making the Anonymous unwashed welcome and feeling loved (okay, at least tolerated). Great to see you took the leap of faith and now run your own business(es). Still need to get that Drunken Idealist to trust herself more as well. Hope you had a wonderful holiday. Oh, and pass the fish if your through with him. ;)
That is sad for Harold but I am sure you must have been beating Harold with an ugly stick. (Like I should talk today, I should post my picture today). I am surprised the dog would even lick that fish! You were very good to have loved him.
DWR - I LOVE sushi and I wouldn't have touched poor Harold with a 10 foot chopstick. He wasn't looking very tasty towards the end. He had this disgusting disease called "Hole in the Head", which is even more disgusting then it sounds. EWWW!
Barber - Thanks for the condolences. Harold appreciates them. And your welcome for the link. I'm just trying to spread the good word about The Barber Shop (that and I got sick of looking for your URL ;)...).
Kalina - You have a "Harold" too? Who would of thought! Good luck with that, Harold was a handful...haha
Anonymous - Thanks for wandering by! I changed my anonymous posting rule, just for you ;)...That Drunken Wench should start her own gig. She's a wonderful writer and she could be doing even greater things without "The Man" holding her down. Hear that Wench?! Yeah, that's right, I'm talking about you...
Robinq - MY dog would have never just licked Harold (it was some other mutt). Kuta would of gently scooped him up and plunked him back into the tank. Then he probably would of called the vet to see if there was anything else he should do...Damn, he is one smart dog isn't he?
po fish....
