Shrimp.
A friend pointed out to me that shrimp are basically the cockroaches of the sea. They just float around and eat fish poop all day. So gross and I can’t even.
Have you tried your local Swords 'R Us? I hear there’s a July 4 blowout sale this week. Use promo code Pond50 for half of your pond!
That’s the spirit!
The nice thing about being a pessimist is that you are always either right, or pleasantly surprised.

October 2025 me: what the hell, why didn’t anyone tell me about this before!?!
Someone recently told me they bought a “vintage truck”. I asked them what year the truck was made, expecting something from the 60’s or so…but apparently 1985 is vintage now. 😟

My top 5 were Walk the Moon, Dr. Dre, St. Lucia, Passion Pit, and Muse. I will check out your recommendations, always down for some new tunes. Thanks!
I was also placed in Fort Collins. Despite being your musical neighbor I don’t know any these bands. Wild.
You already have a bunch of suggestions, here are a few more of my favorite sci-fi names/characters that I didn’t see…
Hari / Salvor (both from Asimov’s Foundation series) Rico (from Heinlein’s Starship Troopers) Leto / Duncan (both from Herbert’s Dune) Ender (from Card’s Ender’s Game series) Filip (from Corey’s The Expanse series)
Honorable mentions Fry (Futurama) Jar-Jar (Binks)
