NAMELESS GOLDFISH, AGE UNKNOWN, DIES IN HIS STAMFORD HOME
A nameless white and orange goldfish, a Stamford resident, died recently at his (her?) Springdale home. Time, date and cause of death are unknown.
The fish lived alone in a plantless and rockless fish tank in Igor's parents' bedroom. The fish, who had somewhat of a orangey-colored brainy head, was likely purchased at the Fish Bowl store in Springdale.
He is survived by Pinky and The Brain, two larger, more dominant goldfish who live in the big tank in the living room.
The family speculates that Pinky and The Brain, known as the evil masterminds of the living room fishtank, sent their menacing vibes over to the nameless goldfish in the bedroom, causing his death. It is thought that Pinky and The Brain may have caused the previous deaths of former tankmates Whitey and Blackie the goldfish.
Funeral and wake information are unknown.
In lieu of flowers, this goldfish lover requests that your thoughts and prayers be with the nameless goldfish, and all the other nameless fish in need of some fishy love and attention.
