Fx5 (add the Fish)

When I was a Resident Assistant in Getsch freshman dorm at Bethel University (College then) in Minnesota, it was late one night, during first semester finals. I was in my teeny tiny room, studying for God knows what, when there was a knock on my door and a call to come and see what was in the bathroom. I walked into the 2nd stall, and there... I found this:


You probably can't read the sign. It says "Merry Christmas from Bob the Christmas Fish." How Bob got there, we knew not. Nor were we very sure how to get him out of there... nor were we sure why someone would want to waste a perfectly good Northern Pike. But there he was. So I thought today, as we usher in the Holiday Season (cause you know... October) I would pass on to you... Merry Christmas from Bob the Christmas Fish!!!!

This particular blog post is a TOTAL shout out to Miss Sarah W.W.... who KNEW Bob... personally.

Want more Friday Foto Fiesta Fun - go see Candid Carrie - and thank her for ALL her hard work!!!!

Oh - and make sure you head over to Lizzy for President - I've been.. thinking!!!

How bad do you miss college? That is HILARIOUS in college. If someone did that on my toilet at home they would be ripped a new one. Why the difference? Hmm, adultness is overrated.

Debbie said...

I can't stand it...what happened to the fish???

Lex the mom said...

October is a good month to begin the festivities!

What do you do with a fish on a toilet? Sing it! Maybe it should be a song. Bob the Christmas fish, bringing joy to the toilets of college dorms!

Whatever happened to Bob - do you leave him there for the next person?

LMAO! Only 'Up Nort' ... nothing says Merry Chrismas like a cold, dead Pike.

Jo-Jo said...

Wasn't that the fish that everyone brought to the new neighbors in the sequal to Are We There Yet?

Unknown said...

It could have been worse. It could have been alive and swimming around in the loo !!! :-)
