2759 Koi Jobless in Seattle

Hat tip to Wagga for this find!

There's something fishy about letting fish give a pedicure. That's what the state says.

Pedicures by fish — the use of tiny, live carp to clean feet — has been deemed unsanitary and illegal in this state.

The state Department of Licensing issued a statement Thursday saying officials were "greatly concerned" that customers, in their quest for smooth heels, are willing to soak their feet in a tank of toothless fish that feast on dead skin.

Christine Anthony, spokeswoman for the department, said it's impossible to sanitize the live fish. "You can clean the tank, you can clean the water, but there's no guarantee that the fish aren't carrying something from the previous customer."

Speaking of fish: Happy Fishnet Friday! TGIFF!

Hi Notanoptimist!

@Anon,
If this one said "Hockey Mom" rather "Obama" on it I could completely see Palin wearing it.

@edgar,
I was considering only posting the "California going bankrupt" guy for Fishnet Friday, but decided that was cruel given what a bad week we've survived.

@Ogg,
I'll have to review the Wonkette comment thread, but someone found the character pictured in the L.A. Times. That sort of thing just doesn't happen in Northern California.

In other news, I came home to discover toilet paper everywhere. Poms can be a teem of MAVERIKS too! Last night's debate must have rubbed off on my dogs.

Hi Edgar,
Thanks to a bunch of "wealthy" people like Casey Serin, CA is pretty screwed these days - of course there are also many, many other reasons this state is so fiscally f-ed up, but the foreclosure/credit crisis situation has culminated into the perfect storm that may be the straw that broke the ailing camel's back.
