Miss Pine's posts about her betta reminded me how much I've missed having one since Blue died a couple years ago. Tonight after depositing my paycheck, I picked up this little beauty. I'm torn on name options, but whatever I pick will be super nerdy. Cast your vote in the poll above to help me decide! _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I voted for Boyd, cause it seems like a good name for a fish. Then I thought about how fish don't do so hot in the lifespan department, so... I sort of want to retract that vote. I like the name Boyd for a fish though, so long as it's, you know, a boy. _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons.

They're usually a year old by the time their fins are fully developed and they're put up for sale. I'd had Blue for a couple of years when he finally kicked the betta bucket.

BTW my first dog was named Apollo - after one of the Doberman on Magnum P. I. and sort of after Carl Weathers in Rocky I think. Mom's choice, not mine. He was INCREDIBLE. I will someday blog about his irrefutable greatness and post a link. Until that fish can unlock a door, know whether to fetch a flathead instead of a phillip's head screw driver, and kills your neighbor's husky when it chases you and your friends onto your sister's car's hood, it will solely be named for a character that changed genders between productions like the lin minmei (sp? obviously) impersonater in the third iteration of Robotech. _________________ yup, that's my name.

I'm glad my post inspired you to bring a new betta home! At least 'Moist' would make sense... it's a fish...and smells like... _________________ Power is only pain It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.
