My fourth brief conversation with the ghost of John Merrick

Merrick:  “I AM NOT AN ANIMAL!”

me: “Yes you are.  You’re a Coelacanth.”

Merrick:  “I AM A HUMAN BEING!”

me: “Or maybe a very large catfish.”

Merrick:

me:

Merrick:  “I AM NOT A VERY LARGE CATFISH!”

me:  “Man, you must really hate the sight of red beans and rice.  And cole slaw.  Am I right?”

    You forgot the hush puppies.  God, how he must loathe hush puppies.

    So,what did you have for dinner last night?

    And did it make you dream?

  3. David R. Block says:

    Off Topic, but there is a poll on the front page CNN.com about the NCAA fiasco.

    Be there or be square.

  4. If Merrick were a catfish, then I’ll bet he would have had quite a slider.  Not to mention an unreadable pick-off step…

    Coelacanth?  Your mind is wired very differently than most others Jeff, which is why I enjoy spending time here.

    Coelacanth.  You rock.

  6. McGehee says:

    What nobody will admit is that the coelacanth caught by that fisherman wasn’t fresh.

    Frozen prehistoric fish. God I hate that.

  7. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Those are some wicked-looking prehistoric fish, though, aren’t they?  I remember my sixth-grade teacher telling us the story of a fisherman pulling one out of the water off the coast of Africa (?) and having my entire worldview expand exponentially at that instant.
