I mostly fid a bunch of American Toads (I think that's what they're called) when I'm hiking. When I was a kid I used to be real good at catching frogs. Not sure what kind they were, but they lived in lakes and ponds. Not bullfrogs. From time to time I'll see some in my creek when I'm wading around and planting stuff.

Did someone tell Maddy about the internet today?

[Vrede too]

Hmmmpf.

... you having to apologize for all the false accusations and insults.... ( )

Amateurs! 2 of my recent successes:



I demand your uninhibited praise and expect apologies for your insulting presumptions. Otherwise, I will stomp my feet and hold my breath.

Psychic hotline?

While saying that on Twitter.

He is inventing the newsletter?

Of course nobody has thought it appropriate to congratulate me for actually being able to raise a koi from about six inches to 18 inches.

No. Because you're all dilettantes.

Well, hell, let me be the first......congratulations on raising an 18 incher and not allowing it to be starched, stretched, electrocuted, or become a stiff hard curled up vestige of itself on the concrete. Keep up the good work.

Hmmmpf.

I haven't mentioned the other koi yet. Even bigger. More than 20 inches.

Nor have I mentione the reason for the electric wire around the koi pond. Something about marauding predators that wiped out five other small koi while I was at work about 17 years ago. No, I don't think you want to know all that, because it could involve you having to apologize for all the false accusations and insults. And of course we can't have that.

Who the fuck cares.

After being informed that his huge 18 incher is below average size up he pops with, nooo, that's my little one.

I used to be all about raising fish, albeit the fish tank variety. I had these little aquatic frogs called African dwarf frogs. They lived entirely under water, surfacing for air when needed. Also had some aquatic snails that multiplied into a snail plague in the span of a year. The tank was covered in snails.

I had a 100 gallon tropical fish tank for a few years, it was gorgeous and mesmerizing. A real pain to keep clean and in balance (and expensive). Eventually converted it to fresh water but it's not nearly as pretty and colorful.

I had a real hit or miss with mine early on, but after much learning and a few mass murders, I kept mine going for nearly 15 years. I used water from the Gulf and the bay and kept local fish and shellfish. Never bought any fish. Did buy a fish identification book, lots of toys for the aquarium and even a 2nd aquarium.
Catching was great fun, almost as much fun as watching to see if the new guy would be eaten right away, eat everyone else or get along.
Many got too big for the tank and were released.
I had a flounder the size of a nickel and a sheepshead the size of a dime grow to over 5 inches before release. A flame crab who was released for making too much noise eating periwinkles. There was an octopus for awhile, seahorse and needlefish too. There were ever 2 types of fish with legs.
The flounder was a killing machine.
I stopped when we moved here 20 years ago - too far to tote water.

We had a big ass freshwater tank when I was a kid. We put some baby catfish in it and they thrived. Then we put a sunny (we called the sunnies, don't know what the real name is) and he became incredibly territorial and killed off others, so we had to release him into the wild. We ended up doing the same with the catfish we had. It was cool having some native fish.

Useless Shirley read it as a metaphor for his dick size.

Local fish was what made my salt water aquariums fun and using water straight from the Gulf worked without all the equipment and fuss.

I have to confess that if I ever see Madison Cawthorn I will slap the shit out of him assuming I can gain adequate proximity. I would do this in spite of the likely severe penalty of assaulting a handicapped person. Besides, I figure he'd shoot me soon after I fish slapped him. But I am confident I'd stagger away and emerge unscathed. Fuck this guy.

[Whack9]

I bet Madison Cawthorn is the type of dude that sticks saltwater fish in a freshwater tank

[Vrede too]

I bet Madison Cawthorn is the type of dude that sticks saltwater fish in a freshwater tank

. . . and blames Dems and the media when they die.

I bet MadCaw is the type of dude that uses a speargun in a home aquarium and then brags about his prowess.

Oh no, don't shoot the koi.

So Neoplacebo is into having sex with crippled guys?

Who knew?

NTTAWWT.

Oh, wait. There is plenty wrong with it. If it's non-consensual.

[O Really]

Did someone tell Maddy about the internet today?

He does realize Faux is a part of the "mainstream media", doesn't he? Oh wait, I was wrong as soon as I got to the "He does realize..." part.

Harrumph! I'll see your bigger koi and raise you another new human. And you've mentioned how you raised electricity around your pond more than once in the past. And my previous reply denigrating your ability to raise things by pointing out some of the things I myself raised was by no means complete......besides having raised frogs, butterflies, and humans I've also raised a few eyebrows, a fair amount of ruckus, a tremendous amount of hell, and a little suspicion. And even all that is not an all inclusive list.
