Tomorrow Is International Fangtooth Appreciation Day

Fangtooths, also known as ogrefishes, are deep-sea, ferocious-looking beryciform fish.  I don’t know why the plural isn’t Fangteeth but it’s not.  It’s fangtooths.

The head is large with a huge jaw and appears haggard, riddled with mucus cavities delineated by serrated edges and covered by a thin skin.  Coincidentally this is descriptively similar to pajama momma, although they are not related.

The eyes are relatively small, set high on the head; the entire body is a dark brown to black and is strongly compressed laterally, deep anteriorly and progressively more slender towards the tail.

The fangtooths are among the deepest-living fish, found as far as 16,000 feet down. They are more commonly found between 600 - 6,000 feet however, and juveniles apparently stay within the upper reaches of this range.

Thank you fangtooth you fucking hideous, horrifically formed, repulsive piece of crap.

I would not eat a fangtooth fishstick regardless of how much ketchup you put on it.

    Apparently it’s klling Gavin too. I’m laughing so hard he wanted to make sure I wasn’t crying.

    He said, “funny? funny?”

    Are you sure he didn’t say “shirt? shirt?”

  5. Comment by pajama momma on May 28, 2008 9:29 pm

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    That happens to be particularly funny because, shocker, he’s not wearing one. He is however, wearing “big-boy” underwear over his diaper. I like to fit in with the neighborhood. Would hate to appear too classy.

    Sweet! Between the teeth and the binocular vision, you know it has skillz in the killing and eating department.

    Thank you MCPO. I almost feel like you were on my side for a second. It’s too dang hot here for clothes. In fact, I sit here naked at the computer all. day. long

    Is that why Gavin cries so much?

    I figure it’s more realistic to think I sit naked at the computer all day than to think I have four kids.

    I think disabled vets that live in Pennsylvania have sex with them but I don’t think anyone eats them.

    Palmetto bugs are easily one of the creepiest things out there aside from lizards. Nothing scares me like a lizard, but these bugs comes close. They’re HUGE!!

    They don’t have these things in San Diego.

    True story?

    Last night I was in my bed thinking about stuff. And one of the stuffs I was thinking about was sea monkeys. Which in turn made me think about an actual toy/game I had when I was a kid.

    Here’s the old commercial for the the old version (starts @ 2:45) :

    Ha! I like how they focus on the “Gaylo” part of Gaylord the dog’s name. Homophobes.

    Those are the exact barrel of monkeys I had as a kid. Don’t really know why those were fun but they were.

    I remember bringing my Barrel of Monkeys to school with me (I think in 1st grade), that’s how much I liked them.

    I also had this stupid thing. I played it so much that it got to be frustrating. Couldn’t wait until it finally broke, My siblings and parents hated because the beeps and boops were so annoying.

    I have the maturity and emotional development of a 14yo, but the body of a 29yo.

    I wanted a race track so badly. There was one that would even take the cars up the walls, but I got a Baby This & That instead.

    Is that what those things are? I spent a summer in Florida at my aunt’s when i was a kid and her apartment complex had this little rec room with a pool table and it was crawling with those things. My cousins just called them cockroaches so i just figured Florida had some weird mutant roaches, but it had to have been palmetto bugs because they were huge.

    Two Words: Stretch Amrstrong.

    I had this. I poked it with a push pin. A reddish goo that smelled funny came out.

    I ran with scissors, too.

    These are the ones my neighbor Henry Pinion had and I was so jealous.

    Race-car tracks were cool. Mine usually lasted until Christmas day afternoon.

    Stretch Armstrong, lol. I wasn’t into playing with dolls.

    I think Ace had Stretch when he was a kid.
