---The Goby fish and the blind shrimp... (http://www.holybuffalo.net/cgi-bin/ib/forums.cgi?forum=3&topic=298)

In the Great Barrier Reef, there are two species that have struck a chord with me. The Goby fish and the blind shrimp have a symbiotic relationship in which the Goby fish, with it's excellent vision, and the blind shrimp, with his wonderful digging skills, work together for survival.
The Goby fish enjoys living in tunnels, but lacks the skills, and the equipment, to dig. The blind shrimp digs wonderfully, but lacks the vision, hence the name, that the Goby fish has. So, the Goby watches out for the little shrimp fellow while he digs a home for them both. They stay in touch with the little shrimp's antennae and if they lose touch with one another, the Goby scours the ocean floor until they find one another again.

I've found my Goby...who's yours?


-- Posted by Glacialis on 5:43 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

That's cute...


-- Posted by Fallen on 5:49 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

Come on now, Peppy...

Who's your Goby?


-- Posted by Glacialis on 5:58 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

You're my Goby, Kristen.

You're my Goby!


-- Posted by Fallen on 6:01 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

And you're my blind shrimp, Peppy!

Show me some love!


-- Posted by Glacialis on 6:03 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

I'll show you why they call me the cumming linguist, love.

*lick*

:lickme:


-- Posted by Fallen on 6:04 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

That smiley scared the living hell out of me.


My blind shrimp!


-- Posted by Glacialis on 6:07 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

I'm a dirty little blind shrimp with a busy and skilled tongue.


-- Posted by Fallen on 6:08 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

This is far too frightening, Peppy.

My blind shrimp! I want to dip you in honey mustard and eat you!

Mmm...I'm hungry now.


-- Posted by Glacialis on 6:11 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

mmmm...

Eat me...


-- Posted by Fallen on 6:21 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

Oh God...

Anyhow, my little blind shrimp.


-- Posted by Glacialis on 6:35 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

I'd happily be blind if I'd get you for life.


-- Posted by Fallen on 7:04 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

I feel nice and warm and fuzzy inside.
I'd happily be named Goby if I had you.
Goby is a kickass name.


-- Posted by Glacialis on 7:07 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

I love you so much, Kristen. Even if I've never met you. Chatting with you makes all my troubles seem worth while. Even if everything's good now. And saying that in public, like on this board, makes me feel all good inside.


-- Posted by Fallen on 7:10 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

Mmm...I love you too, my little blind shrimp.


-- Posted by Glacialis on 7:13 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

All I want is to make you feel nice and good inside. You've suffered enough. I don't want you to suffer anymore.


-- Posted by Fallen on 7:16 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

Eh...I love you Ile.


-- Posted by Glacialis on 7:20 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

I love you Kristen. I love you more than anything else in this world. I just want to be there with you. I'd just want to be anywhere with you.


-- Posted by Fallen on 7:33 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

I smell abduction!


-- Posted by Glacialis on 7:34 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

had I the resources, you woudn't be safe from me...


-- Posted by Fallen on 7:36 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

Muahahaha!

I love YOU more.


-- Posted by Glacialis on 7:38 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

Argh! Now you're spilling it over here too. I'll save the poor people from it! I'm the people's champion!


-- Posted by Fallen on 7:41 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

Oh yeah?!?!?

Okay, I give.

My little blind shrimp!


-- Posted by Glacialis on 7:42 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

*big hug*

My little Goby fish...


-- Posted by Fallen on 7:44 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

My little blind shrimp...

I love you Peppy.


-- Posted by Glacialis on 7:51 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

*sigh* I can't get enough of telling that I love you.

You know... this must seem quite sad to any others that are reading (unless, of course, they have given up already... :) )


-- Posted by Fallen on 8:18 pm on Jan. 18, 2002

And I love you!!!


-- Posted by Amor Fati on 3:02 am on Jan. 19, 2002

Why do guys get so fired up only when they're drunk....*sigh*. You two should meet.
And Gillian Anderson is one of the most amazing actresses in the world.


-- Posted by Fallen on 11:39 am on Jan. 19, 2002

It hasn't been just when we were drunk, thank you. Its been all this week!
Woohoo!
And Gillian Anderson is one hot moho.

My blind shrimp!


-- Posted by Amor Fati on 2:37 pm on Jan. 19, 2002

Not only hot, but one of the best and most underrated actresses too.


-- Posted by Fallen on 5:19 pm on Jan. 19, 2002

Ahem...indeed.


-- Posted by Amor Fati on 3:58 am on Jan. 20, 2002

Whatever...


-- Posted by Fallen on 10:37 am on Jan. 20, 2002

What in the hell is your problem, Mihnea? What have I done to you that's made you so angry towards me?


-- Posted by Amor Fati on 10:49 am on Jan. 20, 2002

I'm not angry at you. We just have had some different oppinions lately. And now you sort of dissed Gillian, so...


-- Posted by Lacking in meaning on 11:32 am on Jan. 20, 2002

She's quite pretty.  But I don't think she's a good actress.

Her and David Duchovny don't seem to be able to speak in any voice other than a monotone.


-- Posted by Lacking in meaning on 11:34 am on Jan. 20, 2002

Gillian.  Heh.  Stop being so faux-angry you two.  You know that really, neither of you give a damn.


-- Posted by Fallen on 12:09 pm on Jan. 20, 2002

I said she was attractive! What the hell? And you're right, Richard. I don't give a damn.

Mihnea, you're being an ass.


-- Posted by Amor Fati on 11:16 am on Jan. 21, 2002

Clear case of missunderstanding Kris. Stop saying I'm being an ass.
And if you both would just watch The X-Files season 8, you'd see how incredibly intense Gillian can play. Plus she should have gotten an Oscar for "The house of Mirth", or so I've heard...


-- Posted by Glacialis on 1:17 pm on Jan. 21, 2002

*Shakes head in dismay and goes away* :sad2:


-- Posted by Fallen on 1:27 pm on Jan. 21, 2002

Alright, I won't call you an ass anymore.

BLIND SHRIMP!


-- Posted by Amor Fati on 1:32 pm on Jan. 21, 2002

Goby fish! ;)


-- Posted by Glacialis on 2:05 pm on Jan. 21, 2002

Erm... Mihena? Don't make me go jealous and get medieval on your hiney. :samurai_hack: :)


-- Posted by Fallen on 2:21 pm on Jan. 21, 2002

BLIND SHRIMP!


-- Posted by Glacialis on 1:08 pm on Jan. 22, 2002

GOBY!!


-- Posted by JuggleFoe on 2:08 pm on Jan. 29, 2002

don't make me spank you all with moon rocks.


-- Posted by Fallen on 7:55 pm on Mar. 30, 2002

Mmm...moon rocks.

I'm out of the hospital and I want a piece of that!


-- Posted by Glacialis on 7:55 am on April 3, 2002

Nice to have you back. This place has really died since you left.

I'd just like to know how he's going to spank us with rocks... unless they're plates.


-- Posted by Fallen on 3:29 pm on April 3, 2002

Mmm...plate rocks. Goddamnit, people. Can't we please put some life back into this dinosaur?! And Peppy, no calluses here. Lose the cold, bitter act won't you? I love you, darling.


-- Posted by Glacialis on 9:33 am on April 10, 2002

I'll lose it. All's fine again. Your mail explained it all.


-- Posted by Fallen on 3:08 pm on April 10, 2002

Woohoo! Now what did I say in it?

I'm joking. I think.


-- Posted by Glacialis on 6:23 am on April 11, 2002

No matter what you said in it. Main thing's it fixed stuff. :)

Now when did I go over 1000 posts? :cool_shades:


-- Posted by Fallen on 2:55 pm on May 17, 2002

I was joking about it, I really did know what was in the mail. Now, why has this place died so much? Where are you people? I can explain for Peppy, but for others, what?

And alas, my blind shrimp has left me for another Goby fish. Although, I dispute her Gobyness, I smell a barracuda.


-- Posted by Schizoid on 1:04 am on June 7, 2002

I wanna find my goby fish.

Now there's a sentence I never thought I'd say...

Wait, maybe I have found my goby fish!


-- Posted by Fallen on 1:54 pm on Aug. 10, 2002

As I have said before, I do not fully believe (and I will not fully believe until I have met her, which may be this winter!) that this new fish is a true Goby. I smell danger in the waters. Muahahaha. Poor me. I've lost my Goby.


-- Posted by Fallen on 9:06 pm on Feb. 10, 2004

Okie, I was wrong. She might be insane, and she might be a bit off in the head--but she's definitely a great gal.

What up, my home Goby?

A tricycle of love, that is.


-- Posted by Glacialis on 12:53 am on Feb. 16, 2004

Weeeelllll... I'm at school at the present. I got in! :) Just came back from driving my lorry driving test. Fuck it was difficult to get my brain to remember how to use all those gears again.

If all goes as planned, I'm a bus driver in the beginning of September. :D


-- Posted by Amor Fati on 9:49 am on Feb. 16, 2004

Buss drivers over here are the biggest assholes, next to cabbies...Looking for a new career, Ile?


-- Posted by Glacialis on 8:47 am on Feb. 17, 2004

I've wanted to be a bus driver (among other things) since, what, '97. I tried to get on the course last year, but didn't have the luck. This year however...

Most drivers around here are ok, many are downright nice, but there're the ass holes here too. Luckily they're in the minority.

One of the worst cases of ass holeness was when Elina and I were trying to get a bus to the next city last Summer. The driver stayed on the furthes lane from us, and stopped in the middle of the road, opened the door and hollered that he wasn't going to pick us up since we were 2m from the stop sign, closed the door and drove off. Hooray for customer service. :flameangry:

Been driving the whole day today. We were out on the parking lot of the Mess center not half an hour's walk from where we live. After the initial stiffness wore off, I got so good at the slalom course, especially in reverse, that I got compliments from my fellow students. :)

Tomorrow's a similar 9h driving practice day.
