Sometimes you eat the catfish, and sometimes the catfish falls from the sky and smacks you in the face.
Lisa Lobree learned that lesson Labor Day morning when she was walking to meet her CoreFitness class near the Art Museum, heard a "rustling" in the trees, and then -.
Lisa Lobree, of Fairmount, was struck in the face Monday by an estimated five-pound catfish that fell out of the sky. She was in bad shape immediately after, but posed with the fish later on. "Suddenly I was slammed by something," Lobree recalled Friday. "I was like, 'What?!' I was freaking out."
The injuries: Minor. The trauma: Immeasurable. The theory: A bird was flying with the fish in its mouth and accidentally dropped it. On her face.

Tree-cats are very common. To troll for tree-cats, you typically use a kite.
I’ve seen an eagle about 5 miles up the Schuylkill river from that location.
Will find it!

...raining catfish and dogsharks............
LISTER is lying in bed, having an nightmare. RIMMER is standing in front of the mirror, practising the Full-Rimmer, Triple-Rimmer, and a Two- Handed-Rimmer salute.
LISTER: (In his sleep) Quick! Get an umbrella. Get an umbrella. Quick, get an umbrella. Get an umbrella. Cor! Ungh...
RIMMER: (Reading from a poster tacked over the sink) "Necrobics, Hologrammatic Exercises for the Dead."
LISTER: It's raining. It's raining down. Get an umbrella! It's raining. It's raining.
RIMMER clenches up his face and starts rolling his head around. Something falls from the ceiling. Another one falls.
RIMMER opens his eyes to see herring falling from the ceiling. He stares in amazement as more and more herring start to rain down from the ceiling. RIMMER backs out of the room.
11 Int. Corridor 159.
RIMMER continues to back out of the room. There's no fish falling outside of the room.
RIMMER: Holly, what's going on?
HOLLY: What?
RIMMER: What's happening?
HOLLY: Um, Hercule Poirot's just stepped off the steaming train. And if you want my opinion, I think they all did it.
RIMMER: Why did we have to have you as the ship's computer? We'd be better off with a bucket of sheep's slop running things.
HOLLY: If you've got a complaint, just come straight out with it. Don't hide behind innuendo and hyperbole.
RIMMER: Why is it raining fish in our sleeping quarters?!
HOLLY: I'd be lying if I said I knew. The only comparable incident on record is in 12th century Burgandy when it rained herring.
The Mayor of Warsaw walks up to RIMMER, ringing a bell. He stops, then spontaneously combusts in a flash, leaving only a pile of clothes behind.
RIMMER: It really is gonna be one of those days.
You’re not on the Red Dwarf ping list because why?
LOL
We always called the Schuylkill River that runs near there the Shure Kill..... If you fell in it was sure to kill ya....
Nah.
If there’s a bustle in her hedgerow, then it’s just a spring clean for the May queen, not a catfish. So don’t be alarmed.
Are there catfish in the Schuylkill? Ew!
The gods must be casting.
And the forests will echo with catfish?
Baby flathead, good sized channel. Monster chub.
Catfish MC Nev Schulma created some controversy last spring when he tweeted that ‘black chicks tend to catfish a lot’.
Then he had to get on his bicycle and fist his forehead to outraged snowflakes.
Then they did a show where a black chick insisted she was communicating with “Bow Wow”
apparently a rapper of some repute, who turned out to be a lesbian.
So she caught a catfish on the headbone too.
I love the Red Dwarf series.
My favorite is Kryton.
I was just watching the episode where go to the backward world on vid.
Cat just tried to ‘use the bushes’ before they left.
