Diver mistakes object on Dorset beach for a buoy; it's a pufferfish

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA diver in Dorset spotted something on Knoll Beach and took it for a small marker buoy. It was a seventeen-inch pufferfish, fully inflated.

2. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentGovernor Vandersloot, you run a coastline. Dorset Wildlife Trust says these fish turn up in the UK rarely. Is this a surprise to you?

3. GI

   Governor Ignatius VanderslootNo. Let me inflate on that.

4. GI

   Governor Ignatius VanderslootI predicted this fish. The memo says, quote, expect a fish. My coastal leadership delivered a fish, on time.

5. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe fish is thought to have been blown off course by Storm Austen and Storm Boelo. Did you cause the storms?

6. GI

   Governor Ignatius VanderslootI did not cause the storms. I did, however, manage them, and the fish is a success story.

7. GI

   Governor Ignatius VanderslootThe failure is the beach, which has been unresponsive.

8. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe beach is in Dorset, Governor. You're from North Marrowby.

9. GI

   Governor Ignatius VanderslootLet me inflate on that.

10. GI

    Governor Ignatius VanderslootThe fish is thought of as a regional asset, and my brass whistle here has been in the family since before the storms.

11. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo you're claiming the fish. The notes say it puffs up to deter predators. You've puffed up three times in ninety seconds.

12. GI

    Governor Ignatius VanderslootThat is a smear. Let me inflate on that.

13. GI

    Governor Ignatius VanderslootI am the largest predator deterrent this state has ever had. Predators see me and swim to Dorset.

14. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentI didn't ask about coastal watch.

15. GI

    Governor Ignatius VanderslootWell, the whistle speaks for itself. And the budget was restructured, which is a kind of growth, and the fish agrees with me.

16. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentGovernor, the fish was found fully inflated on the sand. Nobody would touch it, and nobody's touching you either.
