So that's what you get when you call Apogee and say Aardwolf!

Some of the others (in no particular order):

  1. Joe Siegler, after months of training with Yoda has finally mastered his Jedi training and can lift Dopefish. (Justin LaBroad)
  2. "And now you dip the dopefish into the hot water to make the special tea.." (Vlad Popa)
  3. Like the art of the Seventeenth Century, this photograph depicts all three of its subjects staring not at each other nor even at a common point, but into space, deep in thought (probably pondering why they haven't invented toilet paper yet). (Jayson Treat)
  4. An attempt to use a dopefish to hypnotize web surfers backfires on Joe Siegler, reducing his entire vocabulary to one syllable words or less. In an exclusive interview, Joe says "DUH." followed by a deep guttural burp with perfect tone and resonance. (Gerald Roberts)
  5. Its fourth and goal, the Steelers decide to punt for the extra point to win the Super Bowl...the snap....the kick...HOLY COW, what in the world, it appears as though a.....a dopefish has blocked the kick...is that legal??? (Aaron Corcoran)
  6. This is a great moment in Joe's existence. He has never felt such kinship in his entire life. Their thought processes are nearly identical, the Dopefish's being "Swim, Swim, Hungry" and Joe's "Program, Program, Hungry." (William Hyatt)
  7. Expecting to be pressed for time to get 'Shadow Warrior' finished for the holiday season, the staff of Apogee/3D Realms begin decorating the Christmas tree a little early this year. (Tom Taylor)
  8. As Joe looked at the dopefish in awe, he pondered how in the heck could one of these tiny stupid looking creatures devour a hero whole? He also wondered what it would taste like stir fried with a side order of rice pilaf. (Ryan Fulton)

In reality, this is Joe Siegler standing in front of the Live Shot Camera holding a Dopefish Christmas Tree Ornament.
