Good trade, daughter.
I agree. Definite upgrade.
Perhaps she might be interested in the Ilongots.
Super Positive Clueless Evangelical says, "Oh, that fish is the Jesus fish, I just know it!"
It is a Siamese fighting fish named Cookie Puss.
Oh, and thanks for the Ilongo stuff. I will pass it to the lovely daughter ASAP.
fish and zombie!! agreeing on things!!!
I used to have a god, but then I got a fish too. But the fish died. Perhaps god killed him out of some kind of jealous tantrum. But I dug in my heels and left the corpus delicti in the fishbowl, and sure enough, now I have a zombie fish...

Fudgie the Whale can kick Cookie O'Puss' ass. Even if Fudgie isn't really a fish. Although Melville would disagree.
DO not forget Berberlangs.
Trading a god for a fish is like trading a man for a bicycle.
What percentage of the man is bicycle already?

Fuck, an atheist paradise ruined by Popery.
My favorite take on what the Filipinos have had to put up w/, from a WWII movie:
"400 yrs. in the convent, & 50 yrs. of Hollywood."
They're still in the convent, duly producing bunches of little Catholics in the approved manner. And to say "hi" you say "¿Cómo estás?"
I hope you both ordered baluts.
