Submitted for classification by @thebitis "Can you do the tasselled wobbegong?"
admin note: several people have pointed out that this is a misidentified goosefish. After some searching, I think it's an American goosefish?
Heh. Its goosin time

Are you more of a goosefish (left) or a tasseled wobbegong (right)
A friend had just asked me to use tumbler, and I just saw a goose fish. What the fuck. I wish I could unsee the goose fish. The poem was nice though, maybe I should be an English major. Idk.

Goosefish!
They are a family of anglerfish characterised by a very flat body with a wide mouth! Very little is known about most of them, but there are some species that can be seen more often. Most goosefish average at a body length of about half a meter (1 foot 8 inches) but some can grow to be even bigger, the American anglerfish can be as large as 140 cm (4 feet 7 inches)!
