My Fear of Being Eaten by a Fish Just Got A Lot Worse — 22 Comments

  1. YIKES! Sid is disgusting…scary and disgusting. I’ll be sitting right along side of you on the sand Mark. He might as well be the shark in Jaws….Oh my God….he’s frightening!!

  2. Snakeheads have been spreading in the United States for nearly ten years. I remember blogging about these at least five years ago when they started WALKING OUT OF THE WATER to get to new places to live.

    Yes, that’s right — these suckers WALK ON THE LAND. There is no escape for you now.

  3. Oh yeah, I have heard of these. Southeast Asia is crawling with things intent upon killing you — too bad they’ve found their way to the UK.

    I will have to tell Sam about this, though. He’s all about fearsome creatures and would be completely intrigued by the “walking on land” bit. He has already asked me if spiders can fly (he’s convinced every house spider is a black widow), so walking fish would surely ignite his twisted imagination.

  4. @ Edna: See? Living in the middle of nowhere does have advantages.
    @ Joy: I think sand would be safe. I bet they don’t do well on land. I can’t run with flippers on, so I’m extrapolating the risk as low to moderate.
    @ Brian: WHAT? They are HERE? WTF? Link please!
    @Gretchen: How about the fact that the fish could eat him? That will probably make Matt’s day too: “I’ll feed you to the fish.”

  5. I do remember some mention of snakeheads in the U.S., but it’s illegal to possess them in Kentucky, if that’s any comfort.

    Matt frequently threatens Sam with death, so I doubt it would faze him much.

  6. That is just all wrong. How did the crustaceous period NOT kill all those REALLY ICKY gross things like this?

    I would die twice and puke if something like that even came near me.

  7. @Gretchen: Making them illegal in KY makes them highly desirable. Death by fish, tho?
    @The Absurdist: These are a product of nuking Japan during WWII and then using Agent Orange in Vietnam War. I have documents. LOL on dying and then puking.
    @The Absurdist: Hell yeah, the are boot scootin’ but Texas doesn’t have any lakes right?

  8. Actually, I just had fish for lunch and thought of you. Perhaps they’re in it for payback? The Avenging Angels of the fish community?

  9. Wow! That’s the ugliest, meanest looking fish I’ve ever seen. He looks like he as soon eat your leg as look at you. Down boy.

    Nice post. I’ll be stopping by again. Meanwhile, feel free to pay me a visit.

    Have a nice day.

  10. Dude, it is SO Lent — Ash Wednesday was not even two weeks ago! It ends with Easter, March 23. But even if I eat fish for Lent, I daren’t eat that fish, as he’d certainly eat me back. Probably in a particularly painful and gruesome manner, too.
