Apparently the bellies of male lumpfish turn red during the breeding season, but red is not otherwise an expected colour for the creatures. Would that indicate that perhaps your picture is not of a lumpfish?

According to that website: "Descriptions of this fish credit it with a great variety of tints, which we can corroborate."

If you google-image it, you'll find a bunch of red ones. The one I saw at the Bonne Bay Marine station a couple of weeks ago had reddish tones, but was not bright red. I picked this image because it was clear and pretty, and because I liked the fish's expression. Here is another, perhaps more accurate picture.

He would say that putting a rocket on anything instantly makes it "mom." Which is freud slang for awesome because he was feeling especially oedipal that day. I would say that putting a rocket on anything makes it instantly more powerful and awesome. PIe. Rocket Pie. shoes. Rocket shoes. Ball. Rocket ball. A sweet new sport thats turns catch into a brand new ball game.

Prove me wrong!
