2 Frat Boys koi-napped, killed, BBQed and ate Goldie, beloved pet of UC Santa Cruz

They have no sole. I trout they understand the kind of crab they are getting into. It gives me a haddock when I end up herring this kind off tail. But I’m not going to bust a seal, I’m making it a porpoise of mine to not take the bait and flex my mussels, cause the cods will take care of it.

Paging Kid Addotta, paging Mr. Kid Addotta…

I’m sure the cops know who did this, they are probably letting them flounder around for a while, hoping they’ll turn themselves in.

They probably did it just for the halibut.

Carpe Carpio

Marco Polo had introduced the Romans to the carp, having brought some back from China, along with firecrackers and rice cakes. For the Romans, “Seize the carp” meant to grab a fish for yourself now. Not to wait, not even to take time to cook it, but to eat of life and enjoy. For tomorrow you may die. We who are about to eat raw fish salute you.

I could be wrong, but I think it is Kip.

You could be right, actually. How’d I type a “d” there? :smack:

Kip Addotta, Kid Addotta…I don’t get it either way.

Fortunately, there is someone to avenge the death of poor Goldie the fish!

Yep, them frat boys sure are morons. Just like everone from the south is dumb and all italians are criminals. :rolleyes:

Psst…Neurotik

But was the fish named Midas or Goldie? The reports conflict.

And I hope these two are punished rightly.

Esprix

I’m sitting within a couple hundred feet of that pond right now.

When I heard about this, it made me want to cry. All my time at this college, the koi pond has been a place sit for a few moments and take a break from my busy life. I always thought it was pretty special that we could have such beautiful fish out in public and everyone always treated them well. The koi pond has always been a little special corner of campus. But now it is more of a blot. I can’t believe the fuckers ruined the koi pond for me, and so many others.

I’ll grant you the theft, but not the cruelty. What is cruel about eating a fish? No doubt the guys are grade A assholes, but I don’t see any crulety to animals here, unless they tortured it or something. It was just a fish, a nice friendly fish, but just a fish.

/puts on flame proof suit.

They did whack it with a rake, Rhum.

If’n ya don’t think that’s cruel, we can whack you with a rake a few times, too. :smiley:

No, I don’t think that is cruel, at least no more cruel than getting a hook through the jaw and then suffocated to death the way many fish die.

I think you sort of have to take it for granted that any animal living on campus is living under a suspended sentence. Although for this to have been a true frat stunt, they would have had to swallow Goldie whole and alive.

Flame proof suit won’t help you against radiation, Rhum. Here is some plutonium in your pants.

Frat Life and Jackass don’t mix. And if it turns out MTV was complicit. They shouls be sued for a lot of money.

This is so bizarre. I can’t believe MTV filmed about fraternities at Santa Cruz. WTF?

When I graduated from UCSC in 2000, there were 4 sororities and 6 fraternities. (I think 8 of these organizations were specifically for Asians, too. They seemed to be pretty much ethnic organizations wearing Greek letters. It all looked pretty pointless.) Those numbers may have changed, but I know that this hasn’t: there is no Greek housing on campus. Greek life is non-existant. No one cares about fraternities or sororities. Being in the gamelan ensemble or playing intramural ultimate frisbee is way cooler than being in a frat at UCSC.

These guys are morons. No self-respecting Banana Slug would join a fraternity, and these guys prove it. I bet they’re College Eight students.

(God, I hope this doesn’t double-post.)

For some reason I read the title and imagined Goldie to be a dog…I am actually kind of relieved that it was only a fish, although the guys are total morons for having done what they did.

Still, at least Goldie wasn’t a dog…

(my Cegep had two Corgi dog mascots - that must be where I got the idea from)
