More Dojo Dialogue

[Dojosmama]

1st male dojo: "Well, it has been awhile since we've gone onto this forum with our aquatic conversations. But I would like to introduce our new tankmate, Silvertone. Our Mama just got him, and he's a silvery gray, unlike the rest of us. We'll be able to keep a better eye on him, making sure he behaves. That includes not hogging our food!"

Silvertone: "Oh, yeah? Well, I was picked out special because I'm such a sleek, pretty silver color, so I should have more privileges!"

2nd dojo: "You stick out like a sore thumb!"

Silvertone: "You'd better NOT pick on me! Mama saw me in the LFS and found me irresistible. She's going to be watching how the rest of you treat me."

1st Rosy Barb: "Whoopee! More fins to nip!"

2nd Rosy Barb: "Just try it! The frying pan isn't far off . . ."

1st male dojo: "I like what Mama has done about our filtration . . . removing that unnecessary second filter so the current isn't so rough, anymore."

Yellow Glofish: "Yeah, I like that, too. We can actually swim more naturally."

Zebra Danio: "Yeah, but the lid on that filter box is still so warped she has way too much trouble getting it to seat properly. I've heard drunken sailors speak more politely."

Rosy MInnow: "Yeah, and the decibel level! Sound carries through water ..."

2nd dojo: "Who cares? Our water is clean. She was able to put in more biobeads since getting rid of that cumbersome sponge and going to quilt batting."

1st dojo: "Good move, Mama! Now, please remove that awful mermaid!"

Silvertone: "You mean that gorgeous redhead over there? Hey, she's cute!"

2nd dojo: "You seemed to like that algae pellet Mama gave us all for our breakfast."

Silvertone: "Not bad."

1st dojo: "Wait until you taste our O-Nip treats!"

Silvertone: "Ive heard of those. Are they really that great?"

2nd dojo: "GREATER!"

1st dojo: "But, she STILL won't give us any caviar!"

2nd Rosy Barb: "Really? You want to eat another fish's eggs?"

1st dojo: "Got news for you -- ALL fish eat the eggs of other fish. Some even eat their own eggs ..."

Silvertone: "Cannibals!"

2nd dojo: "What foreign planet are YOU from? That's the way of aquatic nature."

1st dojo: "So, why won't she give us any caviar?"

2nd dojo: "Can't afford it, I reckon -- even though we deserve it."

1st dojo: "She could afford that fancy new plant she put in here!"

2nd dojo: "Which creates a nice new hiding place for US! Hey, there are trade-offs."

Silvertone: "I see my new home is going to be quite interesting. I do like all this added space. That tank at the LFS was cramped."

1st dojo: "Well, don't expect any special treatment, see? We were here first, and we're the jealous type."

Silvertone: "From what I've seen, we ALL live in luxury, here. Plenty to go around."

2nd dojo: "Well, you're certainly right about that . . . Hey! Lid flap is opening! Meal time!"

(everyone gathers around to receive)

1st dojo: "Frozen bloodworms! Hey, not quite as good as Caviar, but close!"

2nd dojo: "How would YOU know if caviar is any better? You've never had any! And it looks like we're never going to GET any!"

Silvertone: "Shut up and EAT! YUM YUM!"

Thank you for your dialogue posts, they are something I look forward to reading!

[Dojosmama]

Silvertone: "Oh, look! We've gotten a response. Some folks find us quite entertaining. No surprise, We ARE celebrities, after all."

1st. male dojo: "Of course we're celebrities! We're the most famous occupants of this entire aquarium."

2nd dojo: "Does that mean we get our own limousine?"

1st dojo: "How about a yacht?"

Silvertone: "Complete with a mermaid harem?"

1st dojo: "We'll need to run that by our manager -- oops! I mean, our Mama."

1st Rosy Barb: "You eel wannabes are silly! She's not going to give you a yacht!"

Silvertone: "Who asked YOU?"

1st dojo: "Well, it IS doubtful. We can't even get her to feed us caviar!"

2nd dojo: "You on that kick, again?"

1st dojo: "That's what celebrities get to eat."

Silvertone: "Speaking of food, when do we get ours?"

1st dojo: "Yeah. Where's our breakfast?"

2nd dojo: "You should know by now -- when the light comes on above, we get fed. Not until!"

Rosy Barb: "It's Daylight Saving time. That light is on a timer. So, guess what?"

Sivertone: "Doesn't mean a thing. It still comes on at the same time every day. Just the clocks read differently."

Yellow Glofish: "Who feeds the mermaid?"

(Everyone in the tank laughs out loud -- EXCEPT the mermaid!)

1st dojo: "Have you been nibbling on some plant we don't know about?"

Yellow Glofish: "Shove it, eel!"

Zebra Danio: "Who are you voting for this presidential election?"

1st dojo: "Why -- MAMA, of course!"

2nd dojo:"Me, too!"

Silvertone: "I third that! Our MAMA for president! --- And here she comes!"

(Lid flap opens. Food enters tank).

Silvertone: "Quite an effective campaign technique, if you ask me."

(Everyone dashes for the grub, all at once.)
