Aunt, I believe.

And I've long wondered whether or not Cricket's parents had more reasons for sending their wayward kid to the Minneapolis paraschool other than just because it is close to where the Jaguar Gal lives.

I'll beta fin that the fish is still around. Heck, I can just see the newly adopted kids taking it out for a walk in the wagon with Katherine. Wouldn't have taken much to lure them on an outing like that.

Otherwise, my main thesis still stands.

Yeah, I don't see it floundering at all. You'll hear no carping from me on that account: I have similar suspicions as you do, so won't dismiss it all as a load abalone (unless I decide to be all contrary, just for the halibut).

No need to be all crabby and to retreat into your shell like a cold fish. That sort of attitude can poisson a forum, leading to a sea change that will leave everybody at loggerheads. Just go with the flow of current events, even if you sometimes feel out of your depths and things get rather abysmal. The whole porpoise of this place is to freely exchange ideas, after all!

So, you're saying the world would be your oyster, if we'd simply clam up? Isn't that a shellfish attitude?

The reason for this entire discussion sounds a bit fishy to me.

Whelp, of all the commentaries so far it is hard to figure which one smelt the worst. I was beginning to buy the argument hook, line and sinker- but the bait was bad. I suppose I could float an opinion on porpoise, but I suspect it would sink. 'Ignoring with extreme prejudice' ... isn't that something elected officials do regarding their responsibilities on a wholesale basis? Seems so to me.... but back to the current- I guess I'll just stay in the cephalopod's shaded greenery and sip the crabjuice whilst the lot of you figure this out...

Maybe there's a catch I'm missing here, but the net effect of this thread seems just too weired, and way off tuna. You can count me trout.

As for me, those swam 20,000 leagues above me...

Sure makes for a whale of a tale, though...

yet redoubtably the slimy coating on the sea-dweller served it well as it hit the bank, floppity-flippity, and gaining the surface with a loud 'plank!', sank...
