Gold Fish

Postby GoldFish » Mar 15th, '04, 16:19



Hello! Im Gold Fish, I'm 18 years old and I've been doing magic now for just over 2 and a half years. I take my magic seriously but because of the restraints of study and work I can't really take it any further than a hobby at the moment, which is a shame. I view magic as pure escapism, something that i can relax with and just forget about everything else as I focus on the cards or the cups or bits and bobs that have secreted themselves all over my bedroom! Even though I've only been doing magic for a short time I think I can safely say that I have some skill due to the many hours of research and input that I have put into my magic. I hope to fit in well here and look forward to proving my worth.

All the best

Fish

All the best,

Will Wood

Nope, there's two reasons really:

1) Like a Gold Fish i like to think that I see things from a different perspective (Goldfish have to look through the curved glass of the bowl making them see things in very strange ways)
2) When I die I want to be flushed down the toilet.

All the best,

Some more interesting facts :

Most common name for a goldfish?
Jaws.

Goldfish swallowing (a fine sport if I ever heard of one) started in Harvard in 1939.

Dry fish food makes goldfish constipated! Poor fishy.

If you keep a Goldfish in the dark room, it will eventually turn white.

A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.

The Sun is actually the gathering of screams from dying goldfish collected and compressed into a ball of fishy heat. Its true. The pink penguin told me..

Welcome :)

I wanna know how anyone manages to feed a goldfish dry fishfood? Seems to me it's gonna be wet before that goldfish manages to eat any????

In my world goldfish are the magicians of the animal kingdom, so they need special stay-dry dry food.
Odd but true!

More of a point is how do you know when a goldfish is constipated?
Squeeze it and see how far......
never mind.
