(V.): The act of going to a particularly crowded or new place solely to catch new people, fall in love with their stories & then let them go. I find stranger fishing beautiful. It helps you find hope in humanity when you understand how people function. Grab someone new by the wrist and reel them in. Find a stranger and make him or her not-so-strange. Keep in mind that when you stranger fish you have to be selfless. The conversation is more-so about learning about the stranger than sharing your personal stories. First, listen to theirs. Perhaps they may try to stranger fish in return but give them courtesy of your entire focus/attention. I promise you will learn so much.
Shannon is stranger fishing at the park again! She is sitting next to someone alone on the bench, asking how the person is and proceeding to ask what he wants to do in life and why.
Doug is asking that stranger what his inkling is, what that one thing in the back of his mind is that seems so impossible that he always wanted to attain; he must be stranger fishing!

Get the stranger fishingmug. (1) A large, plump fish, not necessarily sporting impressive length but necessarily displaying mass girth.
(2) Anything of impressive girth or that is simply impressive.

(1) The guide pulled the rainbow engorged with salmon eggs from the stream and shouted, "a toad fish."
(2) Eyeing the cupcakes, little Nicky grabbed for the biggest of the lot, screaming "toad fish."

Get the Matty Fishmug. The Babel fish is small yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier, but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the unconscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them.
The practical upshot of this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish.
Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindbogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly disappears in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is whte and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingo's kidneys, but that did not stop Oolon Colluphid making a small fortune when he used it as the central theme of his best selling book 'Well That About Wraps It Up For God'.
Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different race and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.
