Who is Fang ?
Fang -- Sam's close friend and
Apartment Master -- is legend among the Elders. Even so, Fang is "fish"
without definition .. although some foolish soles have tried. Fang
can become quite irritable if his water is not changed on time, or troublesome, if he has
to wear a collar while he and Sam are out for a walk, hand-in-fin, along one of New
Yorks finest boulevards (i.e. something about a mandatory "leash-law" which Himself
insists, "does not apply!")
But there is much, much more to this fish than you might guess.
Why, just the other day, I read
about Fang in a recent issue of FQ, (Fish Quarterly):
"... Fang, New York's Bonvivant,
Raconteur, and (sometimes) Boutonniere for the ladies, is often seen lurking about Sam's
Apartment - perhaps hanging out in his gold goldfish bowel or just jauntily strolling down
the street with Sam, hand-in-fin. But don't let this calm, laid-back demeanor fool you ...
"
... and again, this note appeared in the Fishington Times:
"... His creditations are impeccable: BS(Vienna),
MBA(Adelaide), MS(Waterloo), PhD(Soho), DD(Bombay), LL.D(Dunedin), DD.S(Guadalajara), and
UPS(Buffalo). Fang is truly 'The' defining model of a modern Renaissance Fish.
There are no world waters that have not known the flick of his fins."
But as you will soon see, even these
generous remarks do not do Fang, full flavor of justice. He simply will not be fit into
any preconceived can.
We all have grown quite
fond of Fang and wait for Sam's e-mail messages and to hear what Fang is about that
day ... and this is what "The Fang Chronicles" are about.
So dear reader ... each day, as the
Sun doth rise over The Big Apple
... the Elders arises and await "Fang's latest adventure
" ... in Sam's next report.
... and now, the adventure
continues ...
