CALLING FOR THE FINAL FOUR!!!NOW!!!

[Bluefin22']

Well after months of searching, pleading and almost wearing lingerie, this is it. Well cant wait to see who the final winner is..

Well i know its a long read but I belive its my best work ever.

Ohh and my guest will no other then the second place finisher. So judges thats for you to decide.



Yawwwwn, Streeeeetch, a little flip of my tail fin, a ruffle of my dorsal fin in the sunlight that is cascading down through the magnificent blue sea. I just love that sunlight, when it hits me just right, my stripes light up as glitter just like the parades they have during Cinco De Mayo.

¡Hola, Mi nombre es Ono Soleado! Translation: Hello! My name is Sunny Ono! I feel the need to share with you “A day as Wahoo”. My dad says it’s a bad idea to give advice when I am so young, but little does he know, I know everything and I am not giving advice. I am just sharing a little bit of what a Wahoo is. I mean come on, really. How hard can it be to just share the ins and outs of a charming, handsome Wahoo? I am a Wahoo! A Wahoo I say, everyone wants to be a Wahoo! We’re fast! I am talking lickidy split! Because of our speed they say we are a brutal fish to catch and when they do catch us, they say they need a special troll jiggy thingy. My grandfather Jose Ono says something like 25 miles per hour! Now I guess you know why our species is pretty much the only species on our track team at school. We’re sleek and long. The girls think we are handsome, because of our features. But then again, who wouldn’t? Blueish Green in color and Sliver on the sides! We Wahoo’s like to catch the girl’s eye by making our sides simmer. We try not to smile at them until we know they really like us, because our mouth is filled with a fierce set of teeth! Nothing a set of braces can fix! Trust me I tried! But let me say, just by showing those pearly whites I have saved a few damsels in distress! Oh ok, so it was two! And one doesn’t count ‘cause it was my sister being a smart mouth to a whole school of cheerleading fish! There goes my chance with any of those cheerfishleaders! Anyways, back to me! I said we were long but did you know that one day I am gonna reach 8 feet? My grandfather Jose is 6 feet, and my father Pablo Ono is 7 feet. The doctor says I will easily reach 8 feet! What a catch I will be! Umm, err, well not really. Don’t really wanna get caught, if you know what I mean! I was just thinking for the ladies! So I say, who wouldn’t want to be Wahoo, but my dad just says I am Yahoo!

Your probably wondering why my name isn’t of the Spanish decent as the rest of my family. Well when my mom Isabel Ono was pregnant with me she had deep urges to always bask in the sun up near the top of the ocean. So when I was born she named me Soleado (Sunny). She is always nervous because since the day I was born I tend to drift to the top and waste the day away watching my self shimmer in the sun. My father, Pablo and grandfather, Jose always told me of the mysterious ships and boats that would pass and cast giant dark shadows. They would tell me that when I saw those I would need to swim as fast as my little tail fin would take me back to the reef and to keep my mouth shut! But in all my years, I have never really seen one. I mean in the distance but nothing to be worried about it. However, today the sun poked his head into my room and woke me up with a blanket of warm hugging rays. I knew that today was a day of rest and on this day I would aimlessly drift to the top and bask in the sun.

Aww, yes! The day starts! I wiggle backwards ready for my first morning dart threw the rocks, and sea life, as if I am a strong bull on fight day trying to out smart the matador! All the while keeping one eye open for the ladies ‘cause if they are out, you know I am only going 2 miles per hour so everybody sees me.

Of course the ladies are out! It is beautiful today! They are all out, preening and fluffing their scales! So of course I am out there doing my best maneuvers, and gliding through the rays of sun to assure that the ladies see my shimmering, slender, sleek body. You know they are looking, and for that reason, I am NOT! You know how it goes. Be carefree, elusive, that’s the name of the game. La Persecución, The Chase! And for that simple reason, I do a quick maneuver and dash out of sight. My intent was to dash out sight and hide behind the rock to look at them to see if they were looking for me. But Oh NO!! Not me! As I dash out of sight, I literally dash right into the rock! WHAM! SMACK! I flip over the top of the rock and slink out of sight into the crack off the rock. OH MY GOSH! I am so embarrassed! Quickly, Quickly, get up! Shake it off! Swim it off! Slightly coherent, I muster up the strength to sneak away. Head hung low as I drift towards the top of the ocean to bask in the sun. I ponder, what went wrong? How did I miss judge that HUGE rock? And I can’t forget the ladies. Who saw what? Who heard what? WAIT! Is there going to be a mark? I can’t say I meant to disappear as if I am a great magician if I have lump and contusion on my face! As my mind went ramped with thoughts and I was going to recover from this travesty, my body started to shiver. Strange I thought. Have I really been floating aimlessly that long? Has the sun started to set? As I started to open my eyes to see what was going on, I realized that I had a huge migraine! Pound Throb Thump went my head! Was that my heart beat? I slowly propped one eye open to peer about when I realized, it is really dark. I started to peal the other eye open, fighting past the pain when I realized that I was right smack dab underneath a huge boat!

Can they see me? Not knowing this I slowly turn my self around to dart back to the reef, when I realize, there are load of strings hanging down. I have no idea what those are but there is a yummy smell coming from them. Yumm-O there are loads of ballyhoos swimming thru the water. Then as if my father and grand father were right next to me I hear them in their thick Spanish accent, “¡Necesito nadar tan rápidamente como mi aleta pequeña de cola tomaría mí apoyo al escollo y para mantener la boca cerró!” Translation: “I need to swim as fast as my little tail fin would take me back to the reef and to keep my mouth shut!” As I tried to follow their direction, I feel a small tap on my back. I frantically look back and see a shinny funny looking thing slowly sinking through the dark waters. I let out a huge SCREAM and put my tail fin in “B” for boogie! As I dart through all those string things and yummy scents I start to come into the light. I slow down a little and think, oh my gosh I sooo just screamed like a little girl! Add that to my humiliation if anyone heard me!

Strange, though I am out of the dark shadow, I realize that I am still seeing those string things. I have a sinking feeling that I am not out of harms way, I start to swim faster and faster. The faster I swim the more out of breath I get. I can’t breath I can’t breathe; I need to open my mouth…As I open my mouth to gasp for air I feel this unforgiving jerking tug! I feel as if the roof of my mouth is being ripped out of body! I look out of the corner of my eye and see one of those stupid string things stuck to my mouth. As my lip starts to swell I let out a yell “EATH MY BUBBLESTH”! I swam down as hard and as fast as I could, as if my arch rival in my track meet was right next to me egging me on. I kept picturing my family, and thinking what would I tell father and grandfather. I know my grandfather would be scared, but proud of my fight, saying that I would have a great war story and a scar to go along with it. Oh yeah, a scar! The ladies would rush to my side when they saw that I was hurt….Umm WAIT! Why am I not going down? I know I am swimming down, but I am starting to see the top of the water…What the Crap is going on? Before I knew it I was doing aerial flips while being violently tugged forwarded. Then crash back into water, I would take a deep breath and pop back out of the water with a huge jerking thrust forward. I fought spastically for my life as I saw the boat getting closer and closer with every jerking thrust forward. The strange thing is, every time I popped out of the water, I would hear cheering, hootin’ and hollerin’. Which infuriated me more ‘cause I just wanted to get away and go home, and these yahoo’s are out here thinking I am doing an aerial trick for their amusement! Wait till I tell my dad what a real yahoo is! As I reach the boat and feel a cold sharp spearing thrust into my side, I realize I am not going home. Nor will I ever be. I am hoisted into the air and flopped on the wet, hard, cold boat. I am soon deafened by all the cheers as I helplessly gasp for air, flipping as if I might have one last great flip that would launch me back into the water and back to safety. As I had wished before that no one saw me scream like a little girl, I now hope that some one did and could tell the story to my family. I lay there looking up at a bunch of yahoo’s with a mouth full of cheesy teeth, and some with out any I realized that my pearly white smile of fierce teeth couldn’t get me out of this one.

Adiós Amigos! ¡Véale en Cielo Humano. THE…PARRILLA! Translation: Good Bye Friends! See you in Human Heaven...THE GRILL!

LOL, inflation up here in the NE is so bad,

it's a buck-THREE-eighty!

BTW, great stories guys, I need to bow out.....the date would have been fine, but I will now be knee deep into a gutted kitchen at that time (hopefully will be at LEAST "on the rebuild" anyway).....don't have the luxury of paying someone to do it, so I will be doing it with the help of a good friend who is a Contractor and has a few weeks coming up that he'll be able to help me out to get it done quick as possible.

Ok, I'm trying to upload a audio but having some technical difficulties, so I'll post the lyrics (patent pending, that is) and try to get the audio to you soon.
The song is to "Margaritaville".

1st verse
Lookin for something to eat-ah,
Some ballyhoo or bonita;
I just shined up my bright, sharp teeth.
All my friends have been dying,
CuZ the boats are all trying,
To hook us up for their wahoo trophy!
Chorus:
Swimming by myself in the deep blue sea.
Hiding from the "Run Off" and Marty
All of my friends are getting hooked and gaffed....
I just laugh,.. That won't happen to me.
2nd verse
Don't know the reason,
When it's wahoo season.
Marty wants to catch me so I hang on his wall.
But I'm too smart and too cunnin,
From the Run Off I'm runnin
He can hook-up my friends, but he can't have us all!
Chorus.......
3rd verse
I'm getting so hungry,
That it's not even funny
Got to fill up my stomach quickly before dawn
I see a fish so I bite it,
What's this!! I have to fight it!!!
Well I'll be damned, Marty's got one on!
Chorus
Swimming by myself in the deep blue sea
Hiding from the Run Off and Marty
All of my freinds are betting hooked and gaffed..
I CAN'T LAUGH...
THAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME!!!
