Sharkie, I was just thinking about that one too! Can't think of any others at the moment.

Glad you all enjoyed hearing about Sock-eye's very distant, all-the-way-on-the-other-side-of-the-world, fairytale cousin SALMON-ELLA. I couldn't resist it! Wallace has got his swimming cap on. Shall we join him for a swim? Possibly to take more underwater shots with your new found tourist camera, Fish?

Greetings, sea-dwellers!

Interesting to read Jung and Freud's analysis on fairy tale bed heads, Fish!

Fairy tales, eh! Some are good, some are rubbish! (Thank heavens for Shrek, eh, guys and gals?)

Rapunzel, for example!

Where was the bathroom in that tower? Who did her shopping? Was it done on the internet? How did she learn to read and write? Did she end up with a pain in her neck from all and sundry using her long hair as a rope to climb up?


If a girl was going to let her hair down, why not ask her to join Cinderella and go to the ball - ooops! They'd end up fighting over Prince Charming after a few glasses of champagne!

Just kidding... but that story is just plain wrong, isn't it?

Would anyone care for a cyber - mintball, perchance?

Comin' up!

Catch!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzippppppppppp!

Our looks fetching in that swimming cap, squigly squid! It's a real fashion statement. I hope he joins us for a swim and maybe might do a doggie paddle!

Yours swimmingly
Sock Eye Salmon
(The one with the genuine sock!)

zzzzzzzuuullllmmmmmmppppp!!! caught it!!! yum-o! thanks for the mintball!

Fish and Sock-eye, what did Jung and Freud have to say (short summary will do)?

I was rolling in the aisles the first time I went to see Shrek. I loved how that first movie played on all those old fairy tales, nursery rhymes and children's stories. Although I thought you needed to be over a certain age to catch on - too young and you wouldn't know what some of the dialogue was referring to or who some of the characters were.

So many questions, sock-eye! I guess the script editors were on strike when some of those bad ones were written.

I am pleased to announce that and will be joining us for some underwater adventures while doggie paddles around on the surface. He's probably afraid that Salmon-ella will plant one of her fatal kisses on him!

I'd LOVE a mintball, Josephine! THANKS!!!

I too was overcome with mirth when I finally saw the first Shrek. There was some Freud and Jung stuff in that movie!! No time for a summary now - maybe in a few hours.

Sock eye, I too have struggled to understand how Rapunzel got her shopping and laundry done. Did she have access to migraine medication after a particularly active "hair climbing" day???

i love fishing and fish!!!

AARGH! Look out fellow swimmers! There's a fisher coming for us!:winkh, but I don't think P&B would try to catch us for dinner. Would you?

i love fish and fishing but i wouldnt try and cach u lot especially a shark (mark the shark) i love fish!!!

Wahoo! Thank god!

FISHING???? Thank goodness you don't like shark meat, P&B!! I think sockeye and I will need to stay close to Mark the shark so we don't get caught!

I have been told that I am descended from many generations (at least 1000 years worth) of "fisher folk" - Yorkshire fisher folk, actually. My father's side of the family made their living this way up until the last few generations. I have found I have quite a bit of luck when I go fishing, and I've always wondered if there were some genetic connection - that makes me lucky, that is. It certainly isn't anything I know intellectually that gives me the edge on others.

wow cool mate im glad u like fishing aswell

Yes, Mark the shark - Snow White nodded off for the longest, I think - other than Sleeping Beauty herself!

What kind of fishing do you do, P&B? I do a lot of fly fishing here in America.

what do u mean?

I dunno, P&B - I just had to edit the thing!

When I clicked on this thread, Mark's comment was last - then when I posted it I saw your response. Weird, eh?

yea i do sea fishing and coarse fishing

fish are you from yorkshire and moved to america or have you always lived in america? i would love to go there one day and also canada, it looks so beautiful

is fish still online???

Here I am

Cinders, America is a beautiful place! So is Canada - though it's a wee bit nippy there from time to time. And so is Yorkshire - beautiful I mean! As to my real nationality....I guess I should not say, since it is a personal detail and all.

Fly fishing? I can't even swot one across the chops with a rolled up newspaper, never mind throw a line!

Oh, fly fishing as in...whoops! Sorry, guys! A misunderstanding...

Markie Sharkie - Fish and I will have to buy some camouflage to disguise ourselves as other fish - AND my red colouring attracts too much attention ... how about the GI Joe look for us? Or the false specs and moustache? It's great swimming with our favourite chums, isn't it? You'll be happy to know that has sent the Salmon-ella on her way with the breaking of wind underwater - must be the onions!

I think you and I should wear shark coloured camouflage, sock eye - elsewise we will be spotted by P&B!

I just saw what you said about fly fishing, Josephine! It's called fly fishing because you use a "fly" - a pretend one, usually - to catch the fish. You rest the fly on top of the water and the fish jumps up and grabs it. But maybe you knew that.

It didn't register with my weary brain at first, Fish! Those mental images of mine...time to stop taking the tablets, eh?

The shark coloured camouflage sounds great - all we need to do now is find some razor sharp false teeth and a strong fin to look a little menacing. Safety in numbers and Markie Sharkie will help us, won't he?

Here are some mintballs to keep you going...

Ready?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzwwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooopppppppppp!

and here are a few more!

ZZZZeeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww!!!

Enjoy!

Sock Eye Salmon

YYYYUUUMMMM!!!!!!!!! Thanks, sock eye!

squigly - chuffed to mintballs that you enjoyed the cyber-mintball experience.

Shrek had my ribs cracked to glory when it first came out, too.

Here are some more of those delightful minty things for you!

Catch!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzwwwwwwwwwwwoooopppp!

and again!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooowwwwww!!!!

Deeeee-licious!

Sock Eye Salmon

The mintballs are SO good! Thanks, sock eye! Shrek is WAY funny, and there are "one liners" that still make me laugh and laugh every time I see it!

what sort of fish have u caught fish???

I LOVE Shrek! I laugh every time I watch it!

Fish must catch some fly-ing fish (sorry, couldn't resist.)

Good one, squigly!

I wish THIS Fish could fly!

Like your cardinal friend?

Read in another thread about all your adventures. Sounds like some pretty serious fishing! Although I'm surrounded by ocean, I've never been fishing, can you believe that? But I've done a lot of flying...that's the only way to get off this rock!

some people actually call thm flying fish

lol

Like my cardinal friend, yes - but without all that flapping of appendages! I'd like to fly like superman or superwoman (depending on my gender, which is, of course, quite secret here on the W&G website!)

teehee...mum's the word!

SuperFish! Then you would really be a flying fish!!!!

Mum is definitely the word!
SuperFish! I like that! I love to swim and I often think it is similar to flying....just a bit more wet!

fantastic fish? how's that

Sorry - how's what, bond man?

a name for you

Hmmm, interesting Fish. I've always thought you were male.

what fish is girl?

No idea?

w.o.w

Yeah.

hello

What with the collapse of the population of cod, and swordfish, and tuna, and, and... there are some odd fish names now to be seen for sale. Like orange roughy. Mahi-Mahi. Tilapia. And smelt.

I do like the Arctic Char.

I have not seen or heard from good ole Sockeye in quite awhile, and I'm getting worried because I found this picture on the internet!

Please let us know this is not you, Sock Eye!

Neither have I. NOO!!!
