“Splish-splah I was Takin’ a bath,
Long about Saturday night…”
Sounds like jarbabyj’s idea of a good time. 
Bathing your children with an eel in the tub. Can I be the first to say Ewwwww!!!?

If memory serves me correctly, you should always bathe the eel with the children to get the best flavor.

There are so many things wrong here, I don’t where to start…:eek:
Do they have a hovercraft and is it also filled with eels?
Ya know, this reminds me of a song…
“The captain had a daughter
Was swimming in the water,
Delighted squeals came as the eels
Entered her sexual quarter.”
And yes, there is somewhere a picture of me on a canoe, drunk off my ass wearing an eyepatch singing this song.
With a liter bottle of captain mograns.
I love it! Bizarre, peculiar, and yet totally believable.
One must wonder, however, exactly how old is that eel, and how old do eels live?
Wow, that’s awesome if that story is for real. Man, I love eels, especially Morays. They are precious creatures, second in my mind in cuteness only to cats. I’m totally serious. I’ve downloaded so many cool pics of eels! I’d love to swim in my tub with a pet eel.
I wanted so much to get an eel for myself, but when I researched it, it looked like way too much trouble to take care of the little guy. Eel maintenance can apparently be pretty tricky. Additionally, trying to cram a 100-gallon tank into my already crammed apartment would have left me little room to move around.
Sigh… I was going to name him Benito… you know : “Eel Duce”?
Hmmmm…wonder why jarbabyj hasn’t lobbed a grenade into this thread yet…
She sick? 
Oh God, no, not eels. Eels, eels, eels, horrible black and grey eels. shudder
I even hate the way the word is spelled. Eels. With an upper case E then a lower case e. It’s horrid. brrrrr
What?
Still no jarbaby?
Steps must be taken!
Leave it to german children to fall in love with one of the most heinous, hideous, satan spawned creatures on this planet, with their grotesque, pin point eyes and tiny, razor, gollum like teeth. “No papa…we LOOOOFFF the eelllll”
When I become queen of the world, every eel will be gathered together and chopped into many thousands of pieces.
Grrrrrrooooossss
They are the scariest looking critters on the planet.
But so, so tasty.
When they are chopped into many thousands of pieces, will they be rolled on much sticky rice and dipped in much wasabi?
An aquantance bought a live plant for his aquarium. Shortly thereafter, his fish began to disappear. Not die and float to the top, not lunge their little fish bodies over the side to oblivion, but disappear. One night he sat and watched his tank. A live baby eel had been hiding in his live plant. It was slithering out under cover of darkness and eating the fish.
Wow. Yuck. They have enough brains to train? It doesn’t try to attack the kids? And aren’t the kids grown up yet? It’s been 33 years!
I don’t think eels are in any way cute. They are scary and malevolent-looking. Ugh.
