[OT] A fish that good, you don't eat all at once!

Hmm...how to get this on-topic? I know: inspiration for a Call of Cthulhu adventure!

Fish Talks, Town Buzzes

It sounds more like a plot hook for Green Ronin's upcoming game Testament!

Hey - how can you not like talking fish?

Well, somebody didn't like it: after all, they butchered it and sold it, apparently not even charging extra for Holy Carp.

I wonder if it was on a stick?

Let this be a lesson to talking fish everywhere: you're supposed to be offering people wishes! Ranting about the apocalypse is just gonna get you gefilted.

From the article:

Mr. Nivelo does not understand Hebrew, but the shock of a fish speaking any language, he said, forced him against the wall and down to the slimy wooden packing crates that cover the floor.

That's not a sentence you read in the NYTimes very often.

The puns are straining to come out, but I'll forebear.

Thank you! I found out about this article from this thread, where all the puns (and more) have been made. (I also stole the thread title from this thread).

Okay, I'll break my own rule now to point out that this is the first carpy deum I've heard of.

Ah, yes. Scaling new heights of humor here at Enworld.

(Punning, especially punning in public, is a terrible habit, but one that is too satisfying to resist. Until you get hunted down by global villagers with virtual pitchforks. )

Call of Cthulu plot hook is right! An entire town buzzing?! That must be terrifying! That's almost as bad as bards making the hills come alive!

Just to add my own tangent off topic response to off topic messages.

Have you noticed EVERYTHING can be used for Call of Cthulu game. So techinically nothing is off topic anymore.

Bucs win the Super Bowl. Must be Hastur.

Cubs will win the Wolrd Series this year, talking fish, must be a sign for the end of the world, time to summon Cthulu.

Thats all

So which ball of extradimensional slime gets the blame for SARD?
