People who know me reasonably well (who have progressed beyond the
casual groping and grabbing period inherent in all new platonic
friendships) know that I like animals.  But not in the normal,
traditional, sexual sense...I actually just enjoy watching them frolic
in their natural environs, stroking their velvet-like fur, or feeding
them raspberry flavored gelatin by hand as we relax together in my
luxurious and spacious bathtub.  As a consequence of this completely
wholesome fondness, I have several tanks of freshwater tropical fish in
my humble abode.  From Angelfish to Zebra Danios, you might call me a
"fish fetishist"...but that would indicate some sort of illicit physical
attraction, so let's just call me a "fish freak".

Unfortunately, sometimes animals "pass away", or "release their mortal
coils", or "float to the top of the tank and turn fuzzy".  When this
happens with one of my aqua-friends, as a means of honoring its memory
(or for those who are spiritual, "helping the soul on its way to
Happyville"), I remove its delicate, bloated corpse from the tank, say
a few words of thanks for the happiness and pleasure it brought me
during its life, give it one last farewell smooch, and then use the body
to pull some really insane shred combos!  Check this out:

Neon Tetra ("Sammy") - [kick], dragonfly, ducking butterfly, [drop]
Pearl Gourami ("Hunk") - [kick], butterfly swirl, scorpion tail, [drop]
and best of all
Cherry Barb ("Winker") - [clip], Grave Digger, Tombstone, [drop]

Short but sweet.  Just like their little lives.

But now I must run, the water runneth over...
