Unfrozen Swordfish: Surprise!
Unfortunate oversight: turkey comes out on top19 total reviews
Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is an extremely well-written tale of woe. The town dump is decidedly badly treated! are there no rules limiting what horrors can be deposited there?

You can never remove the stench--gotta chuck the freezer. Point taken about the dump!
The gist of the story is factual--the final scene is exactly as he described it! I'd hoped the amusement value would compensate for nausea. Wrong! Many readers are gagging. Cheers. LIZ
Comment from judiverse
I'd go with the grilled cheese sandwich every time. I hate the smell of fish, so Chuck's experience must have really been odious. It was costly one, too, given that the men demanded hazard pay for carting away the freezer. Too bad about all that food going to waste, if you like swordfish, which I don't. Great humorous details in this. judi

You're very welcome. When we have leftovers, I'm careful to separate my steak or chicken from hubby's salmon when re-heating. You're the James Patterson of FanStory! Scott and Chuck cheerfully doing the work for you. (Just kidding.) judi

Not so fresh, swordfish sushi anyone? With an imagination to think up all your, or should I say everyone-you-know's misadventures, I often wonder how large the tidbits of truth really are. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Liz
I am not allowed to cook fish in my house. My wife told me if I wanted fish that I needed to drive to McDonald's and get a fish filet sandwich. I decided not to do that so I just don't eat fish Unless I'm driving by a McDonald's. I'm certainly happy that I had not eaten before I read this. My computer would be sharing the desktop with my breakfast. Not much smells as bad as bad fish.

It's funny
Comment from BethShelby
Wow! That story really stinks. It reminds me of when we took my father in to live with us and brought him 200 miles further north. We visited his old house about once a month. All his furniture was still there, including the well-stocked freezer. When we returned, the power had kicked and with no one there to alert someone. The freeze had had no attentio0n for a month. I'll never forget the smell, not the cleanup. There was also the refrigerator to deal with.

Your story was funny and I got to laugh at someone's else's cleanup up, But I couldn't help but remember my own and feel a little bad for Chuck.
Comment from Begin Again
Liz, you have me gagging on my coffee this morning and imagining the foul order... What a mess! And I thought contending with the backed-up commode was stomach-churning. Fumigate thy house!!! Even the wild animals probably steered clear of the dump. LOL Smiles, Carol

Comment from humpwhistle
Ah, electrical appliances are dead weight when not sucking electricity.
I rarely cook fish myself--occasionally I'll bake some tilapia, or similar mild white fish. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with my canned Chicken of the Sea.
Frankly, I'm surprised that house was ever habitable again. I'm guessing the local dump is now considered a hazardous waste site.
Entertaining.
Peace, Lee

Comment from Debra White
Hi Liz,
What a disaster!
You should've put a 'delicate stomach warning' on this one!
Your vivid descriptions are so clear that the rotten, fishy, stinkiness is practically emitting from the vents in the back of my computer screen.....
'The floor was inundated with a milky fluid so foul it was fit for suckling the devil's spawn.' - What a great line. Nothing could be fouler than that!
Thanks for the read. I think!
Best wishes, Debra :)

You have a way of jazzing up stories like this to make the most of the entertainment value. Like many a good story, it seems much funnier in retrospect. I can imagine the stink!
