I was watching Leonard on the dvd when I popped the fish into my palm. Head and tail (of the fish!!) waggling furiously - IN LOVE - I could have told the fish that.

Love the "cheaper than a razor blade" quip, made me giggle.

My first post ever on Leonard Cohen Forum, and it is about the Miracle Fish! :roll:
I love it! I must say, I have had more fun with it than was probably intended . . .

I have a confession to make about my miracle fish

Post by wakeupmartin »

I broke my miracle fish. I'm so sorry. It was an accident. I was careless and I let it get crushed somehow and become a sort of concertina-fish, without any miracle.
In my shame and despair I threw it away.
I'm in for it now.

Reminds me of the suicidal goldfish in Amelie.

Cute - but poor fish looks like it's suffering. Somebody give it some water please.

Not too sad -- there are other videos about the fish -- just search "Fortune Teller Miracle Fish" on youtube and you will find one, I'm sure!
