WTF were those moronic frat boys thinking? [Here’s the first story](http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2003/06/04/fish.DTL) and [here is the second story](http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/06/05/MN94963.DTL) about it. Poor innocent pet fish is swimming along, enjoying life, then WHAM! She gets hit with a rake, dies, gets stolen, and reportedly is cooked and eaten. Poor Goldie. ☹ ---

Frat boys are morons? In other news, Pope found to be Catholic, and bears reported to shit in woods. ---

I have no wish to _carp_ about this, but may the _scales_ of justice weigh heavily against these criminals. I hope there is no _catch_ to the judge’s penalty because these _pond_ scum need to be fined more than just a _fin_! ---

Perhaps a mob of vegans armed with hemp pitchforks and organic-fuel torches will teach these dipshits a thing or two. But seriously… what the hell? Did they have the fucking munchies? UCSC is a beautiful campus, and this was stupid and pointless. > [@](#): > > MTV quickly disavowed any role in the koi caper. > “MTV had no involvement in this incident,” said network spokeswoman Eileen Quast. “We didn’t shoot the incident and have no plans to include it in the story line.” OK, good. And it better not be on the show. > [@](#): > > “We’re under contract with MTV, so we can’t talk about anything,” [a frat member] said. An MTV producer appeared from behind the house to confirm the restriction and also declined to comment. “We had nothing to do with this, but we won’t allow you to talk to the parties involved.” What are you, the Mama Hen? They’re big boys and girls, and it’s not your fight, leave 'em on their own. (all quotes taken from the OP’s linked sfgate articles) ---

Ew. Just ewww. I just can’t get myself to a place where this sounds like a good idea. What sort of mental process occurs where the conclusion is “Hey! Let’s steal a $700.00 goldfish that the entire campus treats like a pet and eat it!” ---

They must be 2 **really** big men on campus to eat 20 pounds of fish between themselves. ---

Hmmm… The human being in me wants to say that this crime and the frat boys involved are weird, moronic, and slightly disgusting. But the college student in me wants to say, “That was _awesome_, dude!” and then chug a Bud Light. ---

This sort of idiocy is yet another reason I’m glad to live off campus. ---

Well, you know how it is with the over-emphasis on Omega-3 fatty acids these days. Didn’t they even use any _wasabi_? Oh, the humanity! ---

I hope those kids understand how their actions are affecting their fellow students. I hope they not only feel terribly sorry, but also serve a sentence or pay a fine or something more than a slap on the wrist. ---

Fear not, the proper penalty, if correctly consigned should involve having to eat the campus mascot as well. ---
