Fishy situation Slithering down the SCA president's throat, then flipping around in his stomach — that's how little Charlie Goldfish spent his final minutes. It all started as a very big and exciting night for Charlie. After bidding farewell to all his fishy friends, he was transported directly from his home tank at the pet shop to Marshall's SCA-sponsored Sock Hop.
