I was cleaning his cube just now when the little bass turd slid right out and into the sink dispos-all.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; No harm came to him, since of course the dispos-all was not running. But it made it quite difficult to retrieve him. I tried using a spoon and even went so far as to try tongs. Just so he wouldn&#8217;t suffocate from lack of water, I tried running a trickle into the sink; and I guess he used this slight stream of water to evade all attempts at rescue and to dive further into the plumbing. Perhaps he can survive, swimming about in our pipes; but I&#8217;m pretty sure he&#8217;ll be unable to access his e-mail account, unless of course he swims over to some Internet caf&eacute; or the like.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; We regret his untimely passing but wish him well on his travels.<center><table width=\"375\" style=\"background-color:black;\"><tr><td width=\"50%\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wastinaway.net\/shortfatguy\/images\/byefisha.jpg?resize=176%2C144\" width=\"176\" height=\"144\" title=\"Fish\" border=\"3\"><\/td><td width=\"50%\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wastinaway.net\/shortfatguy\/images\/byefishb.jpg?resize=176%2C144\" width=\"176\" height=\"144\" title=\"Fish\" border=\"3\"><\/td><\/tr><\/table>The Fish, in two of the last photos taken of him, admires the SFG logo<\/center>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We regret to inform fans of the Fish that for the foreseeable future he will be unable to answer your e-mails.
