    maybe the person is trying to get some support for instant-messaging a fish? and not actually lamenting hir condition of ichthyosity?

    Help! I am a fish!
    vs
    Help "IM" a fish

    I guess for that you'd need a waterproof internet.

    "First, be sure to ask the fish for a/s/l. This will help establish a rapport."

    Well, someone is clearly shamelessly ripping off the Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin gets tiny and leaps around on his mother's keyboard and it says 'help im a bug' over and over again.
    And they need to come forward, and be held accountable.

    ha! i remember that Calvin strip! exactly. also, will no one think of the bugs/fish? they, too, deserve credit, if not actual royalties; their voices are important, very important.

    rt: de nada

    There's an interesting part in Marechera's The Black Insider, where he talks about meeting "The Black Hamlet" (which is actually a reference of Wulf Sach's psychonalaysis of race book, by that name). The black hamlet is a soliloquising black person in Marechera's book. In another context, it is also a fish.

    well, for what it's worth, more than one person who knows i practice wicca and knows i'm trans, have accused me of being a sorcerer who, at least in one case, engaged in transfugurations.

    I'm sure you would have already googled it if you cared, but it seems to be a kid's cartoon...

    how's about searches on "tina bovine"?

    who??

    i mentioned an article in which Tine (The L Word) was described as bovine -- to which I said, 'huh? Tina bovine? huh?'

    is there a tina bovine or something. oh, i could try google. but then i'd get results like the above....
