Fish: Not as Cool as a Dilophosaurus

As you may or may not have noticed, on the side of this bloggage, I have some fish.  While these fish might be pretty cool, they aren't.  Sure they follow your cursor once you put it in their "tank", but that's probably because they think it's food or something else that fish enjoy to rush.

While trying to muster up an idea for a new blog, I was playing with my "fish" since I'm too poor to actually buy any real pets.  I kept scrolling up and down with my mouse to simulate an earthquake.  The fish were completely unresponsive.  It was the most pathetic thing ever.  My fish would never survive in the real world.

This got me thinking on real pets that I want.  I want a dog...or maybe a cat...something that I can pet but I don't have to take too much care of because they should be self-sufficient.  Also too, I want a gerbil, or hamster, or guinea pig or something that is small enough to put in a hamster ball and watch it wheel itself around.

If all these fail, then I'm going Jurassic Park and bringing back a dilophosaurus.  THESE THINGS ARE AWESOME!

Case and Point.  How fricken awesome would it be to wake up and see this loving face staring hungrily back at you every single morning?!?!?!  Better yet, how much fun would it be to take it for a walk in the neighborhood, or play with it in the dog park?  The answer is is SOOO MUCH FUN YOUR HEAD WILL PROBABLY EXPLODE!!!!!!!  That's how exciting these things are.

So, basically, Dilophosaurs >>>>>>>>> fish.
And google chrome's spellcheck doesn't know the word Dilophosaurus...or google.  Or spellcheck.

Side note:  the orange fish (I call him Red) got stuck in the corner.  How is that even possible?!?!?!  And I just found out that I could feed them!!!!  This is a good day!!!

UPDATE:  The Red fish doesn't eat.  For real.  You can throw all the food at him (or her), but it won't eat a thing.  It just sits there and slowly reaches for the food, but gets beat by the other starving fish.
