Who knows, maybe someone replied to something posted up above and I never found it? Oh well.

Yes, in fact, I just found it! Aendr, the Mad Hatter, posted a reply to my joke about being accepted to every single college I applied to. I made it way back about three weeks ago and there's a message in response to it posted about 26 hours ago. Scroll up this entire forum from here until you find a really, REALLY big goldfish. That's her. That's our phantom message.

Do you know how long it took me to find this? Yesterday I thought my browser was broken because this forum registered a response and the last message I could find was something I'd written myself! Lo and behold WAAAAAAAAAy up here I find the biggest goldfish I've seen in, oh a while!

Biccies!
AEndr, The Mad Hatter Posted Oct 30, 1999
where do you come from? the US?
ie do i have to translate my british english?
i will asume the latter, as there are plenty of americans etc out there who may read this later
biccies are a familiar name for biscuits. it is pronounced to rhyme with "Nicky's". biscuits are the british equivalnet of cookies. over here, cookies or american cookies are one particular style of biscuit- the dough-y flat ones often with chocolate chips. biscuits are generally harder and crunchier. they come in many flavours with various nicknames
garibaldi - i personally do not like these, they are made with currants - public school children often call these "squashed fly biscuits"
chocolate - ie with chocolate on top
ginger nuts - hard ginger flavour ones
gigner thins - thin ones, disintegrate fast if dunked
bourbon creams - brown with a brown cream between two layers
rich tea - good for dunking
nice (neece) - sugary on top, light
jammy dodgers - round with a cream fiiling between two layers. the top layer has a hole in which red "jam" is. (jam is what we call jelly, kind of, don't ask, come to visit - it is easier than explaining jam/jelly)
there are some really nice bright pink layer ones, but i have no idea what they are called. most people know what i mean if i say the pink layer-y ones.
and of course Jaffa Cakes, which are not biscuits http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?forum=24018&thread=23905 but are scrumplicious anyway.

it was the graduation that meant I was away for a few days and so didn't realise you couldn't find my fish. it looks neat with skellington fishies
Name that Major!
Irving Washington - Gone Writing Posted Oct 31, 1999
No problem, and I like these new skeleton fishies (how long will they last?) And thanks for the info on biscuts! I just love the minor little differences between English from England and English from America! I love the little embarassing situations you can get yourself into
