| | | The veritable fish substitution thread!
Back when the land was covered in jungle and editors, long of tooth and bloody of claw, roamed the savage earth, we huddled in our caves and invented ways to pass the time. One of these was fish substitution-- AND ITS TIME HAS COME AGAIN.
The rules are really quite simple. You just take a cliche or saying, and put an appropriate type of fish in place of an important noun. For example:
Think like a man of action; act like a tuna. - Henri Bergson
I only regret that I have but one trout to give for my country. -Nathan Hale
It's the grouper, stupid. - Bill Clinton
I now give you our next president of the United States, George W. Flounder. - Chief Justice William H Rehnquist
Please contribute your words of wisdom.

| | If you ever reach total enlightenment while you're drinking a fish, I bet it makes fish shoot out your nose.
This is actually quite an amusing game fable.
Strangely, I played it earlier today, I was just using biceps instead of fish.  no, really! |

| | ROFLMAO! - It's the most salmon you can have without three fish and a whip!
I wish the bass had never come to me... |

| | Excellent! How about: "The Trout is what gives an anchovy his power. It's an energy fish created by all living pikes. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the marlin together."

| | Indeed!
It is clear that this contest cannot be settled by our knowledge of the tuna alone.
Does killing a trout even give you experience?
It does if it´s a fiendish awakened shellfish!http://216.40.249.192/mysmilies/cont...hitbiggrin.gif |
