Keep That Thing Far, Far Away From Me
Monday, October 29th, 2007
A bizarre fish washed up on the Sonoma County coast. The fish was three feet long, with an extended mouth, long, curved teeth like a barracuda and a sail like a marlin. The Department of Fish and Game I.D.’d it as a long-nose lancetfish.
The lancetfish usually lives in deep water… around 6,000 feet deep and they can grow up to six feet long. They have two fangs, like a prehistoric sabertooth tiger. They eat whatever they can find.
Not something I’d like to meet up with…

Maybe a Barracuda had a little too much to drink in the Bikini Bottom bar and met the oh-so-attractive Marlin and well, you know the rest. The usual story.
Actually, the death of this fish was ruled suicide. Not surprising, personality only goes so far – ugly bastard.
Apparently there was a custody fight etc etc. Supposedly the underwater Britney vs. Kevin incident. It’s all very sad.
Awwww, I think it’s kind of cute.
omg Jen and A.B. TIED for best comment
