Question of the Day II
-
My brother wanted goldfish. So he got two.
One of them died pretty quickly, and the other didn't take that so well. Started bobbing upside down, still kinda swimming but not right, didn't eat his food and wouldn't clean up his poop, which apparently fish do to keep the water clean.
At this point (was fairly quick after we got the fish) my brother wasn't very interested in the fish anymore, but my mom worried. So she called the vet. Who had no clue how to react to a goldfish problem as my mom seems one of the few people that care enough about them. She did manage to get the phone number of a fish specialist though, who of course was someone from Belgium. No one in The Netherlands sane enough to take up that job
She called the specialist, told all the symptoms. Turns out the fish got depressed. Nothing to do about that really, apart from simulating a natural death.
So she put the fish in a bottle of water, wrapped that in aluminium foil and put it in the freezer. I don't remember how long we've had that bottle in the freezer, but it was top left corner, I do remember that. -
Quoting Davy from the last page as I don't want this to disappeardavyK wrote:Splendid tale from @equinox_code there.
My Dad came home one Saturday night with his library books under his arm (still unreturned), pissed out of his head. This wasn't that unusual.
The British Army had been kind enough to give him a lift home in a landrover. My mother was not impressed.
He was clutching a small branch in his hand. He was having a piss in the bushes and his glasses fell off. The Army stopped because they saw him crawling around in the undergrowth. They chucked him in the back of the van, got his address out of him and dropped him off at our door.
He said that the branch was off a large bush he was standing beside when he was pissing and his glasses fell off.
Next morning he marched us a mile or so up the road, located the bush and his glasses.

Yes. -
I can’t really think of any examples of it being shit. -
looks like I maybe misjudged the consensus on this one then. irdgi.

The Netflix version of House of Cards was fucking great for it. Spacey’s creep status aside, the subtlety of his fourth wall breaking in the first couple of seasons was outstanding. A wink to the camera after promising someone a political favour. A withering glance while another character spoke. It made the show.

question 3 option B
What sort of questions do people find most engaging for this sort of thing? -

Fleabag was also great at this I think. -
That one moment in season 2 was just incredible.

This needs all the attention. I like the ending in particular, just there, hanging. -
Trufax. I do the Oliver Hardy fourth wall break all the time, when faced with similar exasperation...and I don't even have a camera filming my reaction.
