Not too long ago we had a swan feeding a carp, now this item from Spluch, noticed by xoB...

bloodly hell. i swear i saw that SAME damn swan in hangzhou a month ago and he was eating the goldfish.

Just fattening them up!

It looks photoshopped to me...

Even a swan can get bored when the cable is out.

Exactly what I thought.

Little red riding hood, Hanzel and Gretel, now playing The Swans and the Goldfish!

I'm just trying to figure out - where does the swan get the goldfish food? And how did he make that raft?

There's something fishy going on here.

He cooked it in that pot!

My guess is someone is feeding the swans or other birds with the contents of the pot and the swan is sharing with his finned friends.

Any chance the swans get fed by someone popping a bowl of dry food on the raft at 10am? And the goldfish are a little less dumb that we give them credit for?

Can you say "chumming"? :D

Part of me is just wondering if the swan is just some poor schmoe who did something really really bad in a past life and is trying to make up for it by feeding the goldfish.

Or maybe the swan is just fattening up the goldfish.

Who knows?

This is the swan's way of indicating that he thinks the food is not fit for cygnine consumption.

Excellent word!

... and there's more words where this came from :D

And THAT, my dear Scriveyn...
 

...is why the average person only employs a vocabulary of 3,500 words.
"Oh my good man, you said belluine! I thought you said culicine. Of course that makes perfect sense and I couldn't agree with you more."

As for the swans, I don't know how they got their start but in China at a lot of the parks that have lakes in them they sell fish food so you can feed them when you visit. The goldfish can get pretty big and there can be quite a frenzy. You almost feel as though there are enough fish that you could take a quick step across them and not sink.

A friend of mine has a stock pond where the fish are trained -
when you stomp your feet on the dock, they swarm towards you (expecting handfuls of dogfood pellets) ...

It is. I see replicated fish heads and waves. Dunno why, it's not like it helps the story.

and the next day, the swan was eaten by the chinese.
