Recently, one
of the bloggers was questioning why my pond mate is called "Blowfish". This got me to thinking maybe I should search for an avatar for Blowfish that was in keeping with my thinking.
Well, what a surprise!
There were
Blowfish games,
Blowfish pipes with big round bowls
Blowfish surfboards,
Blowfish bloomers for boys,
Blowfish hobbit shoes in flannel or plaid!
There was a Blowfish bicycle and,
an expandable Blowfish backpack for serious mountain climbing folks.
There were books and bands with Blowfish titles and there was an entire section of, er....unmentionables.
Well, none of these "inspirations" " are the reason my pond mate is called Blowfish.
Course if the deciding was left up to him no doubt he would choose the
Ale or worse still ,
those shorts!
I expect he does own some shoes every bit as ugly as those Hobbit shoes and we've certainly had our share of fun playing games but never the "BlowFish" game seen here!
And like all male creatures he grins at the idea of having an avatar bout something which ..... expands.
Judging by his showers he fancies himself quite the Hootie although his fav water tune is "Up the River St Laurence Looking for Florence!"
None of these are MY reasons for the Blowfish name.
Just take a look at the actual Blowfish photo
and tell me if your fella had a wiry gray beard what would you call him?
