What in the hell did I do to deserve this???

[KillerMuffin]

Well the StudMuffin got over his pout about not getting any until I'm done with my pout. That much was obvious.

There are more fish in my bathtub. Big, living, slimy, moving around fish. In MY bathtub. Since it is the only bathtub in the house my desire for a shower will either be shared with fish *ich!* or put on hold.

Why must he bring the fish home? I thought we'd established that we catch fish, we keep fish, we clean fish out at the lake. This was discussed and agreed upon. Particularly since a few of the neighborhood cats discovered the fish remains in the outside trash can last time he did it. It was very ugly.

Not as ugly as the catfish, bass, and dead wipers in the bathtub though. That's just about beyond the limit of human endurace. My home is not an aquarium. I have a nice 5 gallon aquarium with small, non smelly fish in it. We feed them. They don't get mad when you turn the light on and splash water all over the bathroom. They don't have the dogs so freaking excited they bark constantly when they charge into the bathroom after someone, like myself, innocently opens the door to use the bathtub in the manner for which it was intended.

I swear, if Sparky shows up on my doorstep with a kinky chick, a video camera, and some KY for the fish, I'm leaving.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

I don't get it.....

Live(?) fish in your bath?

Not dead?

For aquarium cleaning?

 

[sexy-girl]

hang in there Killermuffin it sounds like a nightmare *hugs*

 

[cymbidia]

Is this some kinda get-back on the Studmuffin's part for your refusal to do the horizontal bop with him?

 

[KillerMuffin]

You're a transplanted southerner Spunky. You know the drill, don'tcha? Or are you pure urbanite?

Man goes fishing.
Man catches fish.
Man puts fish on stringer.
Man finally calls it a fishing day.
Man pulls stringer from water.
Man drives home with live fish in cooler.
Man puts live fish in bathtub to clean later.
Man calls mom to crow about 16 inch bass.
Man's wife walks into bathroom to take shower.
Man runs like hell.
Man may be stupid, but he is no dummy.

OK, I might be a dumb Yankee who only goes fishing on party boats where they will clean and bag the fish for you if you want them to....but why not leave the fish in the cooler until you're ready to clean them?

 

[Mensa]

I've got a good idea

Why doesn't StudMuffin give Killer a scale scraper and she can clean the fish while taking her shower. Sorta killl two birds with one stone.

 

[KillerMuffin]

He's got a 15 pound catfish in the lot. It doesn't quite fit in the cooler.

No, cym, this is normal StudMuffin behavior. He actually thinks I should be proud of him for it. He can't figure out why I'm having such a fit. Of course the front half of the house reeks like dead fish being filleted now. And the stink will be there for a while.

I normally understand studboy, but this is beyond the realm of human understanding. He caught the damned things half a mile up the road from a public fish cleaning station.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Okay, I've spent time in the Ozark's.....

Is her going to gut them on the hood of the truck?

Leave catfish heads nailed to your favorite Maple tree?

Use/cure the innards for chum luring Garr?

Ask you to use Stink Bate for a facial cream?

Just watch out for scales between yer toes.

 

[cymbidia]

I would be monumentally pissed off if anyone ever put live fish in my bathtub.

I guess maybe that's one of the things that seperate the Southerners from the rest of us, that tolerance of wildlife where it absolutely does not belong.

You've got an interesting man there, Muff, at least there's that.

 

[KillerMuffin]

Not all southerners do that cym. Some have boats.

Have you met the StudMuffin, Sparks? Yeesh, except for the scales bit cause catfish have skin.

 

[Desert Amazon]

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Duh.... I know catfish have skin babe....

that's why I mentioned catfish heads nailed to your tree.....

I don't know what he does but that's the way we skin'em in Missouri.....

You nail there head up there and take a sharp knife and "ring around the ole head," and peel'em back.

 

[LadyDarkFire]

How about showing him why you are pissed off by giving him the Comet, the scrub brush and the rubber gloves and letting him clean the bathroom until it no longer reeks of fish?

 

[Never]

Now this is interesting.. Being a pacific northwestern suburbanite lady myself my response would be to stick the fish back into the cooler, drive to the nearest lake and set them free. I'm guessing that's not your response to the situation though.

I used to live in Michigan which, surprisingly, has a strong southern influence and my grandfather did indeed bring hold fish to skin or descale. However, he was kind enough to set up a tub in the basement for just such a purpose and what little dead fish smell seeped up into the house was quickly replaced by a frying fish smell.

I suggest you yell and complain and explain why that's not acceptable in your house.
I think the studmuffin is going to get you grey before your time myself.

No doubt about it. The timing is just too perfect for it not to be.

Man has blueballs,
Man goes fishing,


yup! sounds about right to me too!


Although, when I fish............. I keep only what will be consumed that day, the rest I release. And I never, repeat, never bring fish into the house until after they have been dressed out and in a bowl ready for the batter or marinade. Geez, my wife would have a cow!............... two even!
