258.0. "The Name of the Roes" by FDCV01::BEAIRSTO () Tue Oct 07 1986 21:43

    We've just put up our fish tank again, and our first fish has survived
    long enough to merit a name. I'm going to call him Albert Finny.
    
    We're going to get several more fish in the near future....

How about Gill Hodges?

Then you could get another one and call it Gill-again.  And you could build
a little island for him...

     "Hamilton" is a good name for a fish.

    A sufficiently large collection of the correct species
    could be the John Perch Society...

    Just wanted to tell you that Betta Grable is doing well, as are
    the Finn boys (Mickey, Huck and Errol).
    
    One of the glass cats we got is dubbed Tom Paine. Any suggestions
    for the other?

There was a very well-known world champion Bridge player in the '30s named
Sydney Lenz. Perhaps this is a magnifi-cat?
