My wife and I thought this meme was so funny that we themed our wedding around this fish and call each other boops

That's so fucking wholesome.

The talk page is an all-time classic of petty Wikipedia drama.

If you click the "talk" link at the top of the page, there's a discussion about the original header image for the article, "Boops boops in a bucket," depicting just that. Because the image committed the unforgivable sin of being slightly whimsical on a Wikipedia article about a fish, someone went on a lengthy crusade to get it replaced.

"I must be dreaming."

That’s either a whole lot of nope, or the thing from Farscape that kryten geeks out about from the plant people.

Possibly both.

I'd make a joke about Huso huso (Huso = short for "Hurensohn" eq. son of a whore), but that only really works in german.

Ahh, is that what startet all the sturgeon memes?
