Fishy McStubbin McNubbin McGee!
Mar. 13th, 2006 11:17 pmMy good deed for the day: We went to Wal-Mart and were wandering in the fish section, trying not to look at the little piles of fish bodies in the corners of each tank or the rampant cannibalism going on before our very eyes. As we meandered, we came to the goldfish tank, wherein we found a goldfish... with no tail. Just a wee nubbin where a tail should be. There were scales, so we figured she'd had a nub since the day she hatched. George bought her and we took her back with us. She's now installed in the fishtank in 223. She so cute! Just an amazing fish, all around.

23. Hugs or kisses? Both are perfectly acceptable. :]
