Carpe Diem

My friends can’t stop carping about my gillfriend. They say there’s something fishy about her. But I couldn’t resist the coy way she looked, I took the bait and I got hooked. Sure, there’s other fish in the sea, but we’re in love and that’s fin with me.

For her, there’s no mountain I wouldn’t scale.

    I bet he thinks it’s halibut him. Well, I’ve just haddock with all his nonsense!

      Dammit, of course I screw up my tags when I can’t edit.

      No kissy da fishy.

    Should that not be ‘koi’?

  6. Juno March 15, 2019 / 2:42 pm

    Not tonight, dear. I have a haddock.

    • Dulcie March 15, 2019 / 2:46 pm

      Ooh you should walk the plankton for that one. 😁

      • allein March 15, 2019 / 3:07 pm

        Oh, go take a pike.

        • Lucy's Mom March 15, 2019 / 3:57 pm

          Am I herring you correctly? You’re telling me to take a pike??

          • allein March 15, 2019 / 4:12 pm

            I was looking for a good retort but I got stopped when I discovered there is such a thing as a noodlefish. A NOODLEFISH!!!

    Do we think this match is just a fluke? Well, if it is, we can’t crab about it.

    This site is dolphinitely my gill-ty pleasure for silly puns!

    • allein March 15, 2019 / 3:08 pm

      You’ve come to the right plaice!

    Good Cod, I waited with baited breath to see the comments and this grouper didn’t disappoint – you are all a ray of sunfish – er, sunshine.

    Takes us right back to the “Plenty of Fish in the Sea” post from several months ago. Pupper looks like he enjoys getting playfully smacked by this fish.

    • Duckie πŸ₯ March 15, 2019 / 3:23 pm

      Smacked on the lips, that is.

        OMG I’d forgotten that one. I miss Mike’s responses to robocomments–they’re hilarious.

        • Murray C March 15, 2019 / 3:57 pm

          Jeepers creepers, I’d forgotten about those – that is so gut-bustlingly hilarious – Mike, I bow to your genius.

      • dubravkamcvmd March 15, 2019 / 4:11 pm

        That really was a great one!

        • Alice Shortcake March 15, 2019 / 5:08 pm

          Oh Gawd…how could I have forgotten that one? Mike should be writing Harlequin Category Romances – “The Fish Fetishist’s Turbulent Turbot-Lover”.

    I’m so glad this site exists. After the massacre in Christchurch, which left me feeling that the best way to deal with this planet is to nuke it from space, I need somewhere full of news items and photos to make me feel that there’s hope for our species yet.

    • Murray C March 15, 2019 / 6:01 pm

      Alice, my post below came about before I saw yours about the massacre today – sorry if it seemed out of line – it was, of course, just a continuance of the fishy posts previous to it.

    • Smartypants March 15, 2019 / 9:33 pm

      Yes, my tiny hometown had a terrible murder/suicide this week. This place is a godsend.

    Ronald Searle’s “Alas, poor York…..

    • Murray C March 15, 2019 / 6:03 pm

      Auto correct has done a disservice yet again – “Yoric I believe is the proper spelling.

      And to tell a tale on myself – I was talking on the phone to someone last night and I was trying to use the phrase “exercise in futility” and what came out was “exercise in fertility”. I had a good guffaw at my own expense.

    Is this the scene in Casa Whitefish when Lauren Becodd says to Humphrey Beluga, β€œJust put your lips together and blowfish!”

    At least they’ll always have Pond!

      • Faye March 15, 2019 / 6:50 pm

        Yeah. I cracked myself up!

  14. Amyliz March 15, 2019 / 8:49 pm

    The comments on this post remind me of the punster who used to leave comments on the Old Ranch, cuteoverload. At the moment I don’t remember the user’s name but I wonder if there is some relation to our overlord Mike!

      • Amyliz March 15, 2019 / 8:56 pm

        Yes, Oakley! OK, so no relation to our Mike, to whom I am so grateful for this fun, witty, and yes CUTE oasis!

        • allein March 15, 2019 / 9:00 pm

          Sometimes if there were a lot of comments and I didn’t have a lot of time to read them, I would just search for her name. I’m a sucker for a good pun.

          • Debg March 15, 2019 / 9:11 pm

            Like a remora?

            You all were outstanding today with the puns. I’m so grateful for the giggles on such a sad day.

            • allein March 15, 2019 / 9:13 pm

              Ha!
