YSaC, Vol. 1562: Я хочу твоей рыбы

2013 July 23

I want your fish..


Ill take any of your unwanted fish. To big… To Small…To many… To Aggressive… Just don’t Like them. No Time for them…
Will take your tank if you want it gone to. I will come and pick up.

To big, to small, L’chaim!
L’chaim, l’chaim, to many!

Here’s to the guppies, I’d like to see
Please give your tank to me

Drink L’chaim, L’chaim, to aggressive.
L’chaim, L’chaim, to fish!

(Look at it this way – just be happy I didn’t go with the George Michael parody instead.)

Thanks for the post, jgw!

    Wake me up before you google?

    I’m never gonna fish again?

    You gotta have tanks?

    Big fish, small fish,
    I’ll take all fish.

    My shoe is off. My sock is green.
    I’ll take your fish if it’s too mean.

    Yet another Saint Sparky who is selflessly offering to take your unwanted, yet moderately valuable, items out of a sheer altruistic impulse. It warms the cockles of my heart.

    No, wait – it was just that super-spicy salsa from dinner last night.

    It’s simply amazing what you can learn from Craigslist. For example, big, small, many and aggressive are verbs.

    To big or not to small, that is the question……

    To many, perchance to aggressive……

    With apologies two (haha) the bard.

      See, Grammy, I took these as places and was going to commend Sparky for being willing to take my fish to such entertaining destinations.

    Live fish, wriggling live fish
    What kinds of kids like wriggling live fish?
    Big fish, small fish, fish that you don’t want,
    Tough fish, breeding fish, even fish quite nonchalant
    Live fish, wriggling live fish
    The fish kids love to catch.

    I have a really lazy fish you can take. He doesn’t do anything. He just lies there, floating on his side all day. Also he doesn’t smell too good, so apparently he doesn’t even bathe, even though he lives in water. Now that’s lazy.

    I’ve got a lovely bunch of fish here,
    There they are, a-swimming in a row!

    Big ones, small ones,
    some aggressive as hell,

    Give them to me, so happy I’ll be,
    That’s what the Sparky said.

    This writes itself,
    Для большой или не большой;
    Для небольших, или не к маленькому,
    Для многих или не много,
    Вот в чем вопрос, будь то более благороднее
    Для более aggressice Спарки подобен
    Танк Т-34 нежелательных или нет . . .

    How haunting the meter, the rhyme,
    Dlya bol’shoy ili ne bol’shoy ;
    Dlya nebol’shikh , ili ne k malen’komu ,
    Dlya mnogikh ili ne mnogo ,
    Vot v chem vopros , bud’ to boleye blagorodneye
    Dlya boleye aggressice Sparki podoben
    Tank T-34 nezhelatel’nykh ili net . . .

    Clears the throat, too.

    We few, we happy Few
    We band of Fish.
    For, to big, To small, none so many
    As to not be enobled by sharing this tank
    On this Day.
    Were we all in Thames to the neck
    We’d not be more piscine than Today!
    Come the day of Vigil, fish not yet aborne
    Shall shake as we bare our fin-rot and
    Burble about this day.
    We few, we happy, happy, floating few
    We band of Fish

    OT Sad News. Some time ago, there was a regular poster here using the handle abwh. Many of us got to know him well on Facebook, and knew him as a kind man who rescued ferral kittens and dispensed wisdom. On June 12, he embarked on a new journey, leaving the body behind. He had battled cancer and lost much ground, but we all prayed and hoped he would rebound to be healthy soon.

    Lots of dust getting into my eyes today. A moment of quiet, when you read this, for the loss of a good friend. Take care, buddy.
