In appreciation of this gift, here's a fun story about an angelfish.
Back when I ran a small saltwater aquarium, we were really pressed for cash, so we auctioned out naming rights of new fish. We picked up an angelfish and raffled it off. (we had several already, but there are actually A LOT of types, which look very different! The particular one I'm talking about looked like this: http://thai-scuba.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/AN-Six-banded-Angelfish1.jpg ) The problem was, our highest bidders were always a few guys who liked choosing controversial names. (They were my friends, too, which made things even more annoying). They either bid for "Bill Cosby" or "Kevin Spacey Did Nothing Wrong" (I forget which one, both of these names were winning bids at some point though), and I had to beg them to change the name so I could accept their money. They didn't, and so another person who worked on the aquarium generously dug into his own pocket to name the fish Bring Back Chocolate Milk.

The fish was gorgeous and had a short but happy life. The friend in question was actually a FSer, but was banned a few years back :(. We entertained the possibility of getting an identical fish and naming it Bring Back Bring Back Chocolate Milk but ultimately decided not to.

oh yeah and the short life is because one day the guy who bought the fish said 'hey i think BBCM is dead' and I said 'what do you mean, no it's not' and he took me to the tank and somehow a rock had fallen on it... :( Rest in Power Bring Back Chocolate Milk
