There once was a giant fish who occupied a Linden Lab programmer's desk, and Trout was his name. Captured by Linden staffer Valentyn Gatsuk, this photo showed up on a Lab alumni group page, and seeing as it's Halloween, I felt this to be a fish worth sharing. However, Trout has been a Linden for a long time since before this Halloween, and over the years, has been implicated in at least a couple cases of fish-on-employee assault. However, Trout also has his defenders: "One time, Trout Linden stole my monitor while I was on vacation and replaced it with a monitor lizard," former Linden UI designer Erica Olsen Firment fondly reminisced. "The whole thing was done to scale. Went swimmingly. I was hooked."

It's great to see whimsical things like this, done just for the halibut.

Way too much codding around going on in that office.

Trout Linden isn't a good codder. I'm herring all he does is reinvent the whale. Salmon should dolphanatly give his job to someone more ofishal.

I also acquired a smaller, travel-sized Trout to use when a concealed weapon was required.
