The Three Dead Fish

So because I am the less busy of the two (three?) of us, I will be the one to explain the Three Dead Fish.

It actually has nothing to do with Gollum, I just found this to be amusing so I stuck it here.

The elf and I were actually sitting in our room one night, and we came up with a scale for measuring the effectiveness of our witty remarks. I was talking to someone on Facebook and giving the elf a running commentary. The conversation went something like this:

Two Hobbits: I feel as if every time I say something to this guy, I should be getting a reaction--but I don't! It's like I nuked his pond and I'm looking over the side of my stupid little boat and instead of the mass carnage I expected, all I have to show for it is three dead fish.

After much giggling at yet another one of my ridiculous metaphors, we established that the average snarky remark was worth about three dead fish. (Anything less than that is just kind of pitiful.)

We then made up a song about our three dead fish. It goes something like this, to the tune of Three Blind Mice:

Three dead fish, Three dead fish

See how they float, See how they float

They floated up to the end of the dock

They gave the fisherman's wife quite a shock

So she then tossed in her old alarm clock

And made three dead fish

It's a work in progress. DON'T JUDGE US!
