Fish Tales (Comedy Open Mic 12)

There was once a minnow who loved cartoons and trivia. He shared everything he had with good people around him. He would give a bounty to those who found a good introduction post and welcomed new users. He was really the Inspector Gadget of upvotes in Steemit.

This Steemian was nominated as best mentor and given great praise for his initiative in promotion of community and interaction in Steemit and for curating the #introduceyourself tag. But one day about two months ago Inspector Gadget suddenly disappeared. He hasn't been seen since.

I knew I was on to something when I saw his last post jump from $5 to $45. I looked at where the upvote was coming from and it was sneaky ninja.

I had a strange feeling about this and I wanted to find out what happened to my friend. All I found was a fish tale. He hasn't made a post or comment in months. I don't think it was the Sneaky Ninja who chopped him up but I have my own theories.

At the time I was not the only one who saw this bounty number 33 post. It was then I knew I would never see my friend again. These were the only remains I could find. He left his auto vote on but hasn't been seen posting since.

It didn't take long to guess what had happened to my friend. He had worked so hard to support and welcome new users into Steemit. While helping others he grew into a healthy sized minnow.

On the sidelines a hungry cat was watching the minnow grow. When the minnow grew fat enough at just the right moment the cat pounced and then the minnow was no more.

These were the minnow's last words:

And this was the comment that killed him:

Rest in Peace @gogogadgetupvote

I nominate @gogogadgetupvote to get up from the dead and write a comedy post.

I nominate @grumpycat to write something in #comedyopenmic. You are a celebrity here.

Sort:  

that's one mean cat.

There is a lot more behind the story but in Steemit two months seems like ancient history.

what an observation! now i wonder what the guy is up to. clearly looks like his bot is still running 😐

Actually I wanted to nominate you @roundbeargames but it is only fair to call the cat once. Sometimes he writes a post. I guess this is not funny but it is a story I had inside for too long and had to tell it.

How come all the comedic posts are not truly funny unless it's related to Steemit? I remember gogogadget from when I first started too. Admired him myself. Did wonder what happened to him. Hmmm...I wonder if he is still on my follow list. I hate to be following the remnants of a fish tail.

Edited, I must have been smart without knowing it and stopped following him some time back.

That is a good question. I would like to get out of Steemit but material that everyone in the world relates to easiest is Steemit if you are on Steemit. I get two tries on comedy open mic. I should do one topic outside steemit but did both about Steemit this time... opps.

As far as @gogadgetupvote I respect him as a martyr. My kids love zombie pets. So I will still follow him.
