Today...
By: Mark Morgan on 9/22/2001; 11:54 AM

...my enormous goldfish died, which is very sad.

...my enormous goldfish clogged up the toilet, which is hilarious.

Life slowly returns to only mostly abnormal in the wake of September 11, 2001. Take care of your loved ones.

I gotta go get a plunger.

I shed two tears for you. One of lament for the goldfish, one of joy for the toilet. =)

My condolences on your loss, I always prefer to bury my goldfish and give them a cross made out of toothpicks. RIP Phil, Phil Jr. Phil III, and Phil IV.

What the hell is it with fish? Now Aradia's fish jumps out of the tank when I open the lid to give it food. He survived so far--I got him back in the tank. I'm afraid to go in there and see if he's still okay. What kind of survival trait it that?!!

Maybe I'll buy a turtle next. Holy crap!

Well, surely it's obvious that every decision made by an organism
isn't necessarily beneficial for its survival. I'm not driving a
14-year-old manual transmission van with a broken air conditioner,
power nothing, a broken driver's side door lock (at least it's stuck
locked instead of the other way around), and no headliner for my
health, for example.

Or if you want an animal kingdom example, I've had several cats climb
to the tops of fairly high trees in my backyard and then break their
legs trying to jump off them and reach the roof.

Hey, I'm starting to think this might actually be a discussion that
could go somewhere.

Goldfish should be given proper burials with little headstones are maybe even a tomb. Also, never pet your goldfish, I used to pet mine and people have told me that might have been what killed him.
