"My Pet Fish" Soap looks like the bag that you carry home from the pet store, but don’t be fooled…these plastic fish are not swimming in water, they are embedded in clear, vegetable based glycerin soap shaped like "water in a bag". A great party favor. Fun for kids from 1 to 100. Comes in assorted colors; let us choose the color. Soap has no scent; measures about 3 1/2"H x 3" at widest; 5 1/2" from top to bottom of bag.

No, I'm not going to Burning Man but hooking up with some folks who are on their way. Precompression as opposed to decompression party. I'm bringing my fishing gear to Siskiyou County — in case things get too crazy... hahaha.

As per the instructions, use the arrow keys for movement, the space bar to glomp and just figure it out! Play the game

What is this about?

It's about finding an answer to that age-old question, the one that we have all asked ourselves:

What would happen if you shipped 20 unassembled old-timey wooden fishing lure kits off to be finished by a bunch of artists? It turns out that the answer is CRANKbait! Lures of Distinction.

Shown here by Hugh Macdonald, see them all here.

Mark Frauenfelder of Boing Boing fame painted one too.
