Goldfish Should Never Be Kept In Bowls!

Maybe my coffee hasn't kicked in yet, but I honestly don't see it there.  But, I suppose you covered a wide enough array with your list.

I could also have used:
legend, story, tradition, fiction, saga, fable, parable, allegory, fairy story, folk tale, urban myth, urban legend, illusion, story, fancy, fantasy, imagination, invention, delusion, superstition, fabrication, falsehood, figment, tall story, cock and bull story, tale.

You must love your stories.

 

[TallTree01]

Yup.
Stories rock!
@ eagles- the last one on the list is tale. I edited it just to make you look silly.

 

[eaglesaquarium]

I don't need help in that department. 
 
 
But, a 'tale' is different from a "fish tale" at least in the US.  
 
Fish tale

fish story and fish tale
Fig. a great big lie. (Like a fisherman who exaggerates the size of the fish that got away.) That's just a fish story. Don't try to fool me. He's a master at the fish tale. Maybe he should be a politician.

 

[TallTree01]

^ never heard of it.

 

[eaglesaquarium]

Now I don't know if you are yanking my chain or not, because its the end of a long day for me! 

 

[TallTree01]

You've lost me.

I think we should just leave it there and let this thread get back to goldfish.

I wish I could convince people this was true. The majority of customers just insist keeping them alive for a year is an accomplishment, and that I'm wrong. Other admit they die but tell me they just don't care. Both arguments make me rage.

Here is a question I asked a while back:
http/au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApCnYPQGg1JmBgBY5JqDSwDg5gt.;_ylv=3?qid=20130307013236AAJYfzc

Shows the general publics views not just fish crazies like us.
The one the people voted as best answer really hacked me off...

 

[Blondielovesfish]

Lot's of those people that answered don't sound very nice. What is with people and the idea of "it's just a fish?".
And seriously? Ocean/sea? What a dumb answer! People like that really annoy me. They should all come back as goldfish and be kept in bowls and see how they like it! 

 

[Supraman]

No cause then it's still a fish being mistreated

What should happen is they should get locked in a room that's way to small for them to live properly in.

 

[TallTree01]

The room should be filled with crappy air as well like the ammonia the goldfish live in.

 

[Supraman]

Haha agreed

And Fake, tacky ornaments.
