Am I the only one

[Ronny Bello]

I was wondering if I was the only one the sings while doing my aquarium chores. Like an example of what I'm trying to say is i sing blue oyster cult don't fear the reaper. Inst stead of reaper I say "don't fear the reefer". Change some words to a song to make it about your aquarium.

I change bible verses, like instead of "Judgment Day" I read "Water Change day" in a deep and menacing voice.

Yes I do, and I frequently tell Echo to play one or another of my playlists while doing so, so I can sing along.
Funny you should mention Don't Fear the Reaper; BOC was my favorite band in college, from around just after Agents of Fortune was released. I even had their symbol on my dorm room door as a freshman.

I do like to have the stereo blasting during chores, while sipping a cocktail and enjoying a smoke.

Nothing like 1000's of watts cold drink and salt water. Yes good loud vibes makes my fish heavy and happy.

You ever see the Saturday night live skit. I got a fever and the only prescription is more cow bell. Lol

 

[Star reefer3]

I just talk to myself while I do chores

 

[Auquanut]

I tell my fish : If ya don't eat yer flakes, ya can't have any pellets. How can ya have any pellets if ya don't eat yer flakes?!?! Pink Floyd. (revised)

Also known as "Soft white underbellies" when they played small clubs for true fans!
My GF from way long ago's dad was their recording engineer, loved BOC!

I can't sing well but I still do all the time, and often change the lyrics for whatever I'm doing

I'm usually saying to my family.....

"I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A PROJECT HERE! GEEEEEEEEEZ. WE'LL TALK LATER!!!!!"

I've actually called for and had formal Family Meetings for everyone to STOP approaching me while I'm working on the tank... yet it STILL happens

The minute I lay my hands on the tank, they all lineup with questions:
Dad, can I have a sleepover?
Do we want to go Barb's cookout?
When do you want to go to the grocery?
Dad, Addy down the street said smthg mean to me.
My car needs an oil change.
Did you pay the phone bill?
Did you call your mother back?
Dad, next week you need to drive me to swim practice at 6am each morning. (Wait...what?!!)

On and on and on. Its AMAZING to watch when I have both hands in the tanks standing on a step stool.....

My poor Tank Hood... I'm usually beating my forehead against it

I'm mean, you cant tell me your needs:
* at the dinner table?
* in the car?
* when I ASK you "how are you doing"?

Lololololololololol

Same. Except I’m not a Dad. I’m a sixteen year old in highschool. And right when I put my hands in the tank Mom yells up from downstairs “Alec, *unidentifiable*” so then it’s the
Me: “What!?”
Mom: “*unidentifiable*”
Me: “what!?”
Mom: “I said *unidentifiable*”
Me: “WHAT!?”
Mom: “*unidentifiable*”
Me: “I’m working on my tank and can’t hear you...”
Mom: “well, *unidentifiable*”
Me: *hopeless* “Okay.”

 

[NashobaTek]

Every time I start cleaning the tank, everyone suddenly needs in the kitchen sink or the counter where stuff sits while I'm cleaning. I have finally gotten the sister-in-law to disappear to her room when I am out there working on the tank. I always have the stereo blasting.

How come the dog always needs to go out, or the phone rings (its work) (again), or the doorbell ... there is always something...

Just wait until you're married. Your spouse will bark out specific "honey-do" items from the FARTHEST point in the house. When you miss a couple of them, when you're in a future argument they'll do a recall of "You n e v e r listen to me!"

You're the fool ;Wacky

Lolllll I don’t think I’m gonna marry. Too much work. I’d rather spend money on coral than jewelry and dates for a wife hahaha
