Fortune Teller Miracle Fish

Fortune Teller Miracle Fish promise to reveal your private sexual inclinations in ways no one can understand. In reality, they're little red fish-shaped pieces of thin plastic that curl up in certain ways depending on the heat source they're currently on top of. For the three of you who've never heard of these fishies, the gimmick is that they'll curl up into some random position when placed in the palm of your hand. After seeing what position it forms into, you referred to a stupid chart to find out what kind of lover you were. Truth be told, the Fortune Teller Fish is how I was exposed for having a crush on Bailey from WKRP when I was six-years-old. I've never been able to live it down, and now that I've got another FTF in my possession, I will soon extract revenge by feeding it to an alien tiger. First, let's see the chart:

According to this, no matter how the fish curls up, there's one thing no one can deny: you've got a pretty weak emotional gamut. But you do have a plastic fish, so things kinda balance out in the end.

Matching the position of the fish with the chart, we can deduce that the person who owns that hand up above is fickle. Now that's really amazing. Magic personified. There's just one problem...

My broken ecosphere, once home to four small shrimp and a couple of sticks in purified water, seems to be displaying the same inner fickleness. So either a broken ecosphere and the person who owns that hand are emotionally equivalent, or the Fortune Teller Miracle Fish sucks.

In biology in high school, we did an experiment with these fish. everyone said that it was heat that made the fish curl, but everyone was wrong. it’s moisture that makes the fish curl. put the fish on something moist or wet and see what happens.

X-E Grammer Rangers! We’ll be led by Matt-on, a floating head in a jar (imagine Matt’s head like Zordon’s only smoking a cigarette…it makes me laugh).

Maybe the miracle is that a fish shaped sliver of platic can be sold for a dollar.

Quick question – does anyone else remember "The Hurricanes" (Cartoon show about a soccer team) and the accompanying theme song? Okay now of that small group do any of you own smackdown 4 (Shut Your Mouth)?

If so try listening to one of the Original Musics that you can give the wrestlers as entrance music. Listen to "Oringinal 17" give it about 5 secs to play and then… ITS THE SAME EXACT MELODY AND TUNE A THE HURRICANES THEME SONG! Seriously. I sang along to it. I think I’m the first to have noticed this. I know this is slightly o/t but as a long time reader I didn’t know where else to post this.

The same tune is also on smackdown 3 but I can’t remember which "Original" it is.

I have been pronounced officially dead from one of those fish.

Anyone who knows should now trust entirely in the fish.

I mailed a Miracle Fish to an ex-girlfriend who I would dearly love to get back. So far, no response… but it’s been less than a week. How long should it take, if it’s going to work?

okay, we have to design an experiment on this for biology
the teacher handed out the fish and on the back, where the chart is, it says that “Motionless” means TIRED not DEAD ONE!!

HAHAHHA! how funny is that?!:]
