"ALL THE BETTA TO HEAR YOU WITH"

Writing this blog has encouraged many of my friends to share with me their Betta experiences.

Last night Brenda Lee told me the story of little 'Gimp' who had a broken back, as though his body went around a corner or somebody had taken a fish and made a tiny boomerang. Also, Gimp seemed to be filled with air so he remained buoyant preventing him from ever swimming to the bottom of his bowl. Other fish teased him and called him names like "life-raft" and "bubble-butt'. Anyway, one day Brenda Lee (who loves to sing) made up a ballad about the Gimp and when she came to the line "Gimp is no pimp" the fish plunged to the bottom of his bowl making brief contact before the inevitable ascent. This unusual outburst must have been an exciting moment for both he and Brenda Lee and I wish I had been there. She's a great storyteller but things like that are always better in real life, which unfortunately Gimp did NOT have. Personally, I think the only think REAL thing in his LIFE was the possibility of a successful suicide.

So thanks to Brenda Lee we can safely assume that
A. Betta's can hear us
B. Betta-Bullying is real.

I think Gimp was feigning his injury just for attention. Brenda feel victim to Gimp's set up and now looks like she might be in the low mental group. Did Brenda ever work for Capt. Ahab? What about Starkist? I think Brenda needs to do some comunity service down at Tracey Averary... or what ever the hell it's called- it's the one in Liberty Park. Anyway once she has put in her hours tell her I'll buy her a Fish 'N Shrimp dinner down at the Bee. If I'm not there when she gets there tell her to wait I have to bathe my cat.
