Norm Macdonald RIP

For some reason I went straight to the pet goldfish store and was like, good for him.

Gonna need a suncloud recording for those of us who haven’t met you off the webs.

Well I have spent significant time in Eastern Canada and I can speak French (or I used to be able to), and I'd say I'm kind of laconic, so...maybe I do sound kinda like ol' Norm. How he used to sound, I mean.

I completely assumed you were into pet fishes.

As far as I know I've never eaten a pet fish.

Have you met a fish named Wanda?

Otzi and Otto are both 4 letters

You missed it by a few years.

It started out with one. One live goldfish, swallowed up by a Harvard freshman on a dare. Three weeks later it rose to three, and four days after that it jumped to 24. By the end of April 1939, the record for the number of goldfish swallowed stood at 101. Students at colleges across the country—the University of Michigan, Boston College, New Mexico State, among others—had popularized a quest to see how many goldfish a single person could eat in one sitting.

Something tells me Norm would approve of this tidbit in his thread.
