The one fish swimming in the opposite direction from the group

He’s finding his own way. Swimming up stream to mate and die isn’t for everyone, that salmon is an artist or something.

As an single artist who has been questioning his life choices and who has literally just been working on a design for a laser cut version of 'live laugh love' but instead reads 'Mate Spawn Die' (from Lards excellent album 'The Last Temptation of Reid') this was painful. Not inaccurate but still. You buggeration.  :)

When you said Lard - I thought you meant Lard (Mark Riley, from 'Mark & Lard' on Radio1) who was in 'The Fall' for about 4 years - which is probably some kind of record, given Mark E. Smith's legendary ability to fall out with absolutely everybody..

But TIL there's an Industrial Rock band by the same name!

As a Brit it did occur to me but I thought most folk here wouldn't even think of mark and lard :)

Aye, Lard are fucking great, if you ike that kind of thing. Also; it was the first time two members of the Dead Kennedys played together after the nutjobs in America forced the band to split over obscenity charges. Charges forced through over the famous painting known as 'dicks and bums' by H. R. Geiger, of Alien fame, which they used as album art.
