'Tail tassel's make a great fashion statement when one is trying to attract a mate! Then again, if that doesn't work, there's always the threat of the orange scalpels to get ones (potentially)divided attention!

When I volunteered for the Witness Protection Program, I didn't expect to be give fins and gills and be relocated to a Marine Preserve!
Ha! My former associates will never find me here!

Hmm! Neon accents and an orange racing stripe! I am like soo hot!

What! This IS my good side!

Happy New Year!
Wishing you a happy and prosperous 2012!!

"Mele Kalikimaka" from the Christmas Wrasse!

A BUFFET CONUNDRUM
I dono! The sign out front said "all you can eat" but the selection seems really limited! How bout a MacDonalds Quarter Pounder with cheese instead?

Observing the light hue of his siblings, it quickly dawned on Timonium the Tang that the 1 gallon container of SPF 1 suntan lotion he bought at a deep discount online was not such a good deal after all!

This early prototype of the Cessna 150 was doomed to failure for its lack of carrying capacity, landing gear, and range. Its aquatic capability, however, enabled it to successfully morph into what we now affectionately refer to as the "Flying Gurnard."

They can be seen flying the world's oceans under various airline colors.

The fish world equivalent of the 'office water cooler' appears to be the odd bit of pink colored coral! Go figure!

Why yes! My suit IS made outta sharkskin! What gave it away?

During the recent world series, Utrech the Umpire is shown here calling the base runner 'safe' at first!

Congress' "supercommittee" on deficit reduction moves into its serious negotiation stage this week with members still far from reaching the goal of reducing the deficit by $1.5 trillon. Note, in this exclusive photo, that they cannot even agree on who sits where! Sigh!

A master predator, Ira the turtle prepares to swoop down on a herd of unsuspecting algae

Sigh! This having to breathe at the surface every few minutes is one big pain in the 'patootie!' What I need is a snorkel! Yeah, that's the ticket! A turtle snorkel!

Iridescent blue accents highlighted by a large snout, a broom-like tail section and copious amounts of eye shadow mark Irma as the defacto standard to beat in the Bay's forthcomming annual fashion show and chitlin strut!

You rock girl!

Little heavy on the rouge there, Grandma!

According to Cory of 'seaslugsofhawaii.com,' this inch long critter is a Plakobranchus ocellatus! I'm just gonna call him 'Plak!'

Trying to make a rectangle out of two 'right' triangles proved to much for the Coronet brothers! Geez, mused, Harvey, the younger brother, trigonometry was never my 'strong suit'!

Endemic to Hawaii, the Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse sets up a 'cleaning station' to rid customers of parasites and dead skin. He also provides a nice tactile accompaniment to further enhance the overall experience!

Hmm, think I need a massage!

Blind from birth, Mike the Moi employed the Trevally brothers to act as guide fish! They, combined with Mike's acute sense of feel, proved invaluable for getting him to the feeding grounds!

Mel, the Moorish Idol, is planning on celebrating the forthcoming Memorial Day at the gala, all you can eat, Hanauma Bay barbecued algae fest!

Ever mindluf of the 'rules of the road', David signals for a left turn at the intersection of Coral Way and Seabreeze Drive!

So, then they told me that I had just won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepsstakes! Yup! 10 Million Clams! All I had to do to claim my winnings was sign a release! Stupid Sweepstakes!

My internist recently recommended an Abdominal CT scan. He then remarked that it was the equivilant of 100 X-Rays and that there was some concern about what all this radiation could do to someone over time. Then he noted my Medicare status and remarked: "At your age it shouldn't be a problem!"

Sigh! Think I need a new internist!

No! No! No!

Geez!

Your exposure control is this button HERE! THAT's your zoom control!

Congress, attempting to reconcile and pass debt ceiling legislation, had difficulty with the word 'compromise' this week! Here, they are shown pulling in various directions. Let's hope that cooler heads prevail before the 2 August deadline! Sigh!

Entitlements? Medicare? Social Security? Hey, no worries mate! With our life span who cares? We don't even have an AARF "geezer" organization to join! We don't live long enough! All that aside, where would I carry their card?

So they elect these clowns to Congress to represent 'the people,' and all they can do is engage in 'political polarization.' One group insists that taxes be raised and the other insists that spending is decreased! And neither side is gonna budge on numbers! What ever happened to the spirit of compromise? These intransigent clowns are going to run this country into the ground! They're behaving like a bunch of petulant adolescents! Sigh!

Makes me glad to be a fish!

"That's one small step for an Urchin, one giant leap for Urchinkind!"
