Finding FishMan

My brother is officially famous.

Originally, I had a post ready for today about how mutant llamas were creating robotic duplicates of all my friends so they could torment me with petty insults in their diabolical bid to take over the world, but a funny thing happened as I sat down at the computer this morning.

I had an email.

Normally this wouldn’t be a surprise, because I’m such a celebrity and all that, so I’m used to getting 100’s of emails a day from my adoring fans. I was about to file this email away with all the others in the humorously mislabeled folder called ‘Trash’ in my email reading program when I realized there was something different about this particular piece of mail. It took a minute to dawn on me, but when it did I realized that this email didn’t seem to be from one of my millions of adoring fans. I could tell because for the first time ever this wasn’t a helpful email from a fan with news about some penile enlargement pills, online card games, naked pictures of b-list celebrities or even more mail-order anal hamsters packed in cardboard tubes for easy shipping.

What can I say; I like to play “special” games with my pets.

Anywaste, this particular email was from none other than Papaya, my brother FishMan’s wife. In it she mentioned that my brother’s store had gotten a write-up in New York Magazine! The article is short but still sings the praises of my brother’s shop and I couldn’t be prouder. They even mentioned his website, Aquatic Creations, which I must say was designed by the most brilliant, talented, intelligent, gifted, exceptional… and humble, web site designer in the known universe. I hope all of you take a moment of your time to go visit Fishman, either on his website or in person at his shop, and tell him how beautiful and wonderful his website is and how he should do something really, really, really, really nice for the designer this holiday season. Oh, and if you want, you could congratulate him on the NY Magazine thing, too.

But don’t forget to praise that amazingly great, yet modest, designer!
