The Great goldfish dilemma

AckwelFoley

Well the fiances goldfish alfie finally kicked the can after 7 years of goldfish biss. As the trauma is naturally too great for herself :rolleyes: old snyper here is the one to decide an adequet yet quaint disposal of the remains.

Alas, i do not take these decisions lightly, i will leave it in the hands of AH.

Your options by poll..

Bury it (her choice)
Flush it
Bin it
Feed him to the cat. (my idea..2 birds one stone)

Bury it. Add its nutrients to the soil (good for the earth!), saves at least one extra wasted flush of a toilet too.
Kill of a few hundred thousand more and in a few centuries you might have the beginnings of an oil field!

Snyper in posession of the corpse of a seven year old?

That can't be good......

feed em to the cat.

You'll save your self 70c on a can of cat food. In the good ol' days you could afford to do such things as bury a fish but now... the cats gotta eat.

Pop it in the noisy neighbour's post box, 2 birds with one stone.

Have you tried CPR?

If you were to bury him what would you bury him in? Flushing ftw.

Berry good story.

BlueSpiral

Btw have you checked the fish for a donor card?

Fajitas!

Tell her you buried it. Soak in varnish. Leave to dry. Put butter in microwave. Melt. Put varnished fish in mleted butter. Return to fridge.

Video ensuing hilarity. Post to Youtube.

Feed the cat for a win win.;)

Feed to cat, but tell her it´s been buried.

PirateShampoo

Well to be on the safe side you should chop off its head so you dont end up with a Zombie Goldfish.

Of course, puts me thinking, feed the mixture to the mother in law as a fish milk shake.

I've always fired the smaller pets in the bin.. fish, hamsters, that kind of thing. But I think you need to start thinking beyond the burial / flushing etc. Get down to the pet shop in the morning a bit lively before she suggests replacing it with something.. else..

Feeding it to the cat or flushing it are too easy snyper. Full burial ceremony for the goldfish. Pick a plot in the garden, prepare an eulogy and have a wake after.

Hazys

Roll it up in some carpet and push it off a bridge

PinkTulips

I wouldn't feed it to the cat in case it died of something nashty and kills the cat too.... if she's traumatised by a dead goldfish think of the drama if the cat snuffs it too

I buried my 7 year old goldfish under a sick looking tree in the garden in the hope it might feed the tree a bit. Couldn't flush it in this house, plumbing is so dodgy you'd be lucky if it didn't turn up in the loo again later in the day [vom]

It reminds me when my goldfish died. We came home from school around seven years ago to find the fish container empty. We had cleaned the tank earlier and left them in a big mixing bowl of water. Flabbergasted, I looked down to the floor where I was met by the image of my two dry goldfish, seemingly dead on the floor of the kitchen.
Naturally, a burial at sea seemed appropriate so a few final words were said and they were flushed in the the toilet. Then it seemed that one of the fish would not flush down and when the water relaxed, it started swimming in the bowl, back from the dead.
Still alive today.

Fry it in the pan and have it for dinner tomorrow. Waste not, want not.

Dyr

Find a small buoyant object like a plastic tray, add paper and lighter fuel, place fish on it and then set a match to it as it sails across the nearest pond or lake

That or tie the fish to a large helium balloon and send him off to the great sky aquarium

MarkR

I think you should stick maybe six bottle rockets and fire that fish fatality into orbit. Even if it doesn't reach orbit, the bang will give him a fine send off.

stovelid

Don't let it go to waste.

Have you any wasabi and rice around?

Fracture

Tear it up into tiny pieces with your fingers infront of the woman, take its eyes out and put them in your mouth and spit them at ur girlfriend.

Kold

If it's any consolation, well, it was never really alive. Ya know?

When my old goldfish eventually died after nine years on a Monday I put him in a ziploc and froze him in the freezer until my sister returned home from College a while later so we could bury him toghether in the garden. I have a corner of the garden which has seen various puppies, pet lambs, gold fish, random dead birds, a plague of rats (14), buried there. I got creeped out last time I went to bury a dead rat there a few years ago and started digging up bones so I closed it and buried the rat alongside it.

My dog of 15 & 1/2 years died last year and I buried her at a new spot close to her favourite tree where she was often tied out during fine days. Made a little plywood box and all as I loved that dog, couldn't bring ourselves to get another yet:(
