UPDATE: Mattsapundit welcomes new staffer

(UPDATED with new pictures, 11:22 a.m. on 5/15/06)

Please join me in welcoming the newest member to the Mattsapundit team.

Barry Tapwater, Mattsapundit Fishbowl Bureau Chief

The Mattsapundit Fishbowl Bureau: One gallon of top-notch content.

His name is Barry Tapwater, and he’s a Betta fish. Barry was hired at Petco after a brief interview process. His areas of expertise include kicking the shit out of other fish, and bubbles.

For now, Barry will be retained in a purely advisory role in the Mattsapundit Fishbowl Bureau; he will not be blogging, as his species has neither thumbs nor higher brain function.

Welcome aboard, Barry!

Put the little bugger up next to a mirror and watch his gills flare.

Welcome aboard, Barry! My last betta was named Fred.

Oh BTW, I wouldn’t take Smacky up on the rumble offer. The last fish I had I’d put up against an Oscar was a Green Terror. They’re another member of the cichlid family. Mine jumped out of the little space between the hood and the back of the tank and flopped himself to death on my bedroom floor. I’m sticking with the exceptionally hard to kill goldfish for a while (at least until my kids get a little older).

Barry and Al and Sumo and Edgar…

Houston welcomes a new presence to its blogarithm: Barry Tapwater, Matty B’s assistant! Being a betta — not to be confused with a former beta male (Oh! Gore’s second term revisited!) — Barry can’t get along with anybody, but he’s……
