15. My cat Freddy is named after Mr. Astaire...
...because he's wearing a black tuxedo with a white shirt-front and also sports white spats on his paws. He's one classy gent-- except for the perpetual vomiting.

20. my other favorite Fred is this guy:
This goldfish's name is Fred. His bubblehead has grown soooo much that he appears to be blind.
I've removed anything with corners and :mad: very recently a frog that bit Fred's fin.
His new tank mates are guppies and neon tetras.




Sorry your Fred has stomach problems. :hi:

21. Joan, I'm impressed by your devotion to Fredfish...
...Is continuing bubblehead growth a real problem for this type of goldfish? I ask in all seriousness. I have seen these goldfish often, of course, but did not realize that their protrusions could lead to blindness, etc. Anyway, he looks so solemn there in your photo, but I reckon that's just a general fish face, and I am certain you're giving Fred the best life he could hope for. So kudos to you for your kindness.

23. Fred is an Oranda Goldfish
Unfortunately it looks like having a big head goes with the name Oranda. I have 3 others of his type (in another tank) that are not overburdened by the inordinately large head.

I thought he looked lonely so I added tetras, guppies and the miniature african frog. His tank is in my bedroom so when I noticed that he seemed to be hiding for a few days I started watching for signs of illness. Now that I've removed the frog to another tank, Fred is back to his old self.

28. That was my first thought.
Fred has one of the most distinctive voices in music. His second solo CD "Just Fred" was with Rick Sims from one of my fave punk bands, The Didjits. Fred's voice was made for that kind of uptempo stuff, and it went perfect with Sims super cool guitar style.

Here's a song from it. Sims is the slick mofo in the shades on guitar.

And a Didjits song, for reference. (Actually talking about them made me want to hear it, so I might as well share :) ) Sims was one of the coolest frontmen I've ever had the joy of watching. He's a little relaxed in this vid.

37. Here goes
Freddie Prinze Jr.

Fred Rogers
Lyrics for: Seven Little Girls (Sitting In The Back Seat)
(Dee doody doom doom)
(Dee doody doom doom)
(Dee doody doom doom, doom)

Seven little girls sittin' in the back seat
Huggin and a'kissin with Fred
I said, why don't one of you come up and sit beside me
And this is what the seven girls said

(All together now, one, two, three)
(Keep your mind on your drivin')
(Keep your hands on the wheel)
(Keep your snoopy eyes on the road ahead)
(We're havin' fun sittin' in the back seat)
(Kissin' and a'huggin with Fred)
(Dee doody doom doom, dee doody doom doom)
(Dee doody doom doom, doom)

Drove through the town, drove through the country
Showed 'em how a motor could go
I said, how do you like my triple carburetor
And one of them whispered low

(All together now, one, two, three)
(Keep your mind on your drivin')
(Keep your hands on the wheel)
(Keep your snoopy eyes on the road ahead)
(We're havin' fun sittin' in the back seat)
(Kissin' and a'huggin with Fred)
(Dee doody doom doom, dee doody doom doom)
(Dee doody doom doom, doom)

Seven little girls smoochin' in the back seat
Every one in love with Fred
I said "you don't need me, I'll get off at my house"
And this is what the seven girls said

(All together now, one, two, three)
(Keep your mind on your drivin')
(Keep your hands on the wheel)
(Keep your snoopy eyes on the road ahead)
(We're havin' fun sittin' in the back seat)
(Kissin' and a'huggin with Fred)

All of them in love with Fred
(Dee doody doom doom)
Kissin' and a'huggin with Fred
(Dee doody doom doom)
Wish that I could be like Fred
(Doom)
