What the hell is fishy-fish? WHAT THE HELL IS FISHY-FISH???!!!
To some, FF is a state of mind. To others, a religion. To others still,
it is lunch. Most will agree that it occupies that grey region between light
and dark, love and war, life and death. For dead are the fishes that we
be eatin', and life are the friendships abounding among us.
Founded in 1924 by the comedy team of Pinklestein and Laffelblatt,
Fishy-fish (usually capitalized) is the ritual consumption of our
carefully prepared watery bretheren. It is currently celebrated at a
location discovered by the Reverend J. Bike (jbp@noc.usfca.edu) with
the help of a female warlock who shall remain unidentified. Assisted by
the Right Despicable S. LaFlorette (french for "little flatulence"), a
small but fervent group of worshippers now exercize FF Wednesdays at
1PM.
Together, we explore the questions of life, searching for that one word
of sometimes many letters to place in crosses on famous mass-distributed
word grids. Often we fail, yet we continue the quest, fortified by our
oceanic ambrosia. Thank you for your interest.
