i think most people know my feelings about raiSINs [the face that the word 'sin' appears in the word 'raiSIN' is a clue!]. in fact i may have even blogged about it once or twice, such as over here, which includes links to the two raiSIN songs i wrote and recorded [yes, i wrote songs about my passion against raiSINs]. even my alter ego, Brad Fish, had something to say about them. two things in [...]

i posted this a few years ago when i had a Weekly Mash blog going on, but thought it was worthy of a place on Irresistibly Fish as it is one picture that never fails to make me smile a lot and usually laugh out loud [which is unusual for me - normally an inside laugher] i hope it might have that effect on some of you. you know as a child, many well-meaning adults [...]

If you are a big Pearls Before Swine fan like me [i really am - i met him once and introduced him to my most famous of stuffed dolphins, No_bob], then you will know how much he likes to on occasion mess with the newspaper editors, other cartoonists and people in general really. But i think he has a hard spot [like a soft spot, but harder and with more prickly edges] for the censorship [...]

It's been a while since i shared about No_bob, the world's most famous stuffed dolphin [can you name any others] who i was going to call 'Bob' [largely due to this amazing Blackadder scene] but then realising that he was made out of material and fluff and would not in fact bob, he became No_bob. When i was a speaker on the youth/school speaking circuit in South Africa i would usually take No_bob with [...]
