green goo

February 9, 2004

while my brother has been out of town, i conspired with his wife to do all sorts of surprise-type things to their home.

one such surprise-type thing we did was clean out his fish tank.
theres a little history here, but frankly its not that interesting.

let me just say that he hates the fish that were in it (originally mine) and the hordes of sex-crazed, orgy-lovin' snails that came with them. plus, he wants to go to a brackish tank. he doesnt have the heart to flush the whole thing, but he doesnt have the willpower to actively keep them alive. you know, with food and stuff.

the snails took over the tank. and then the Green Goo of Gog took over and quietly enveloped the snails into its fold. you couldnt even see the fish anymore.

we touched the Green Goo.
everything in the tank was slimy.
the water slightly burned our skin.
the last five inches of water was black as sin.
and i managed to get bathed in it.

he doesnt deserve it.
but now he owes me dinner.

that your best goo photo?

yes. and this was just the tip of the goo-berg.

the sides of the tank were so muckity that no picture would come out, and by the time we got the alien life form out of the water, i wouldnt trust my soaked hands to touch the camera.

If you'd have dropped a plechostemas (sp?) into that they'd have been huge in a week!

you destroyed my goo art and now you want me to take you to dinner!

thanks btw
