[Things Jaime has needed to handle: Hornet attacks and explosions and death and friends going psycho, and friends who went psycho getting upset about going psycho, and girlfriends (okay, girlfriend, singular) with broken ribs, and on and on and on.

Things Jaime feels equipped to handle: this.]

new slogans for your shirts

I did it on porpoise
puns so bad you'll eel over
I'm a reel catch
have you been herring a lot about the hook line and tinker
a real pain in the bass
you don't have to be a brain sturgeon to like fishing
aren't you tide of bad puns
if you are then I'm your mortal anenome
amenome
anemone who made up that word

you're welcome

[infomodder]

[What in the hell, peering at this forever. He expected one. One timid breach into the world of puns and wordplay that didn't relate to murder and chaos, and instead

he got

joyous and beautiful collection ever.]

You can blame anemone on the Greeks. [EDUCATIONAL FOREVER.] I've got a shirt that's along the lines of the porpoise and the bass, but none of the others. Brain sturgeon is particularly good. You really sure you're okay with me using them? Want me to draw up a contract so you can earn from the sales?

[khajidont]

You're not actually going to use them are you?

[infomodder]

I can't see any reason why I wouldn't.

[The brain sturgeon one is fantastic! Fintastic, even.

Well. Except. Okay, yeah, he can totally see why he wouldn't, hinging on Jaime and if:]

Unless you don't want me to, that is.

[khajidont]

What no if you wanna use them go ahead. They're just dumb is all

[khajidont]

[Realization dawns!]

Whiiiich is probably why they're perfect for dumb shirts

[infomodder]

[hdu call what he makes a living off of in this world dumb, hdu jaime reyes, on the menu you go]

Dumb or not, three of those can do very well. [Jaime gets a check at the end of every month for, like, $35 sort of well. Wow.] Nothing's dethroned the Master Baiter shirts and hats yet, but that one about mortal anemones would be a top contender.

[khajidont]

You think? Then sure they're all yours

I just looked at fish names on wikipedia

[for like an hour. commitment.]

[infomodder]

[Bless. He's definitely getting a birthday present other than Will not making any appearance at anything planned, which is a present in and of itself.]

Did that mention clownfish? Or why they're called clownfish?

[no goD IT'S A TRAP]

[khajidont]

[But what if he wants bucket mac n' cheese!!!! What if!!!]

Well it mentioned clownfish but everything I could think of would have been like stop clownfishing around and there's bad and then there's REAL bad

so whyre they called clownfish?

[infomodder]

[JUST ASK]

For the same reason you won't find them on most menus. They taste funny.

[yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah]

[khajidont]

oh my god

[khajidont]

I can't even get mad at you for that one I walked right into it

[khajidont]

Though apparently they're called clownfish because they're bright and there's a bunch of different kinds

[yes, he got curious and looked it up, shut up, knowing things is very important to him!]

[infomodder]

[He'd have just replied with "lol" but then, oh, oh yes, learning about fish. Encourage that forever.]

Fish are pretty interesting, aren't they?

[khajidont]

About as interesting as most other animals. You like them on their own too?

[infomodder]

[That's why he hangs out in bodies of water for an entire day, catches them, goes home, and eats them. That's how you show things that you like them.

Wait shit.]

I do. There are so many fish that there's always something new to learn. The kinds that live in the deepest parts of the oceans tend to be some of the most fascinating.

[those anglerfish are hella fucked up.]

[khajidont]

Oh yeah those ones are neat. I'm not that interested in like halibut but the deep sea ones are cool. I watched a planet earth about them

But I also wouldn't eat those ones

[He's got a Discovery channel addiction. Whatever, it's helped with the superhero business!

That one time, but it'll happen again...!]

[infomodder]

[Gunther was right about this kid all along. Good job, dog. More peanut butter coming up soon.]

You'd probably get in trouble if you did eat them, so that's good.

[Says the guy who ate an endangered bird but whatever, he was eating it with Hannibal Lecter, the only people who'd be in trouble were the ones who tried to mess with them over a damn bird.]

[khajidont]

Are we talking trouble with the government or trouble with the digestive system?

[infomodder]

Both. There are rules about how many fish you can catch per species and some are endangered. Just like you find with animals out of water.

[khajidont]

Huh. Good thing I'm probably never gonna go fishing then

also I don't think you could catch those things without some serious gear

[Which he could do. He's stood at the bottom of a great lake before. It had been surprisingly boring.]

[infomodder]

Some serious gear and enough knowledge and experience to know what to do with anything you might catch. No excuse at that point.

[Surprisingly boring because there's no Gameboys and Facebooks, right? Goddamn kids.]

[khajidont]

Unless you're one of those douchebags who hunt after endangered things to say that you caught one

[infomodder]

[So glad that present will forever stay between Freddie and him, dead or alive.]

Don't get me started. There aren't harsh enough laws in place for those douchebags.
