Back in Feb 06' while doing a Yahoo search for pond management I was directed to this website. I was floored by the amount of information and advice I found here in the discussion forum. It took a few weeks of reading to scratch the surface. After this initial period of wide eyed orientation I knew I just had to join and start to post. Problem was the more I read the more I realized how little I knew about pond management compared with the high level of knowledge and experience of the regulars on the site. Not wanting to come across as a complete dolt I promised myself that I would keep reading and learning and as soon as I could make a helpful, informative, and thought provoking post I would register and do so. After a full year following the forum I gave up on my promise and joined anyway. :rolleyes: I finally decided that I could just do like I did in high school and sit in the back row and make the occasional wisecrack and hope for a cheap laugh (sort of like Sunil but with a lot less practical experience). :p Anyhow when I joined I couldn't decide what I wanted my signature to be. I thought of several but ended up with the Star Wars knockoff you see below. Getting good feedback from Bruce on my signature has inspired me to post the others that I thought of and maybe if I get more support for one of these I will switch. Some of them are variations of other members signatures, some are personal, and others I just thought were funny. So here they are

" It's not about the disposable income it's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the disposable income will disappear on its own"

"Ask not what your pond can do for you but what you can do for your pond"

"My lawyer knows nothing about scud fecundity"

"Incomprehensible Latin gibberish"

"If I remembered half of what I have ever learned I'd be a genius"

"During my last checkup I asked my dentist how he sexes his bluegill. I was dismissed from the practice"

"Half of my savings was spent on the pond. The other half I wasted"

"I think I brained my damage"

"Everything I ever needed to know in my life I learned from watching the Simpsons"

"If you skip your own college graduation to go to a tractor pull you might be a redneck" (guilty)

"I remove pond weeds by a process I call the Repeated Arduous Kelp Extraction method. AKA the R.A.K.E. method"

"I'm not sure if I want to belong to any discussion forum that would accept someone like me as a member"

Well there they are I hope you enjoy them.

My favorite sig is Cecil's:

#1,2,3, and 6 are my favorites, but the one you're using now is great also.

Just for the record I did not come up with that, but it can definitely be true. Saw it first in the Aquatic Ecosystems catalog. Just want to give credit where it is due.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Cecil, You still get credit for choosing it. If I would have seen it before you, I would have grabbed it! \:\)

It's getting crowded here in the back row.

I'm partial to "Incomprehensible Latin gibberish" myself.

I have enjoyed many of them. Mine should be credited to Theo for the idea. My current new favorite is Sunil's , "Hey Boy! Watch that knife!" , but I like Bruce's - "every day's a new day " and a new signature -- approach.

Jeez, if it wasn't for the wisecrack posts my post count would probably be 7. \:\(

I figure I'm going to keep my posting habits the same until either (1) the moderators ban me for lack of valuable contributions or (2) the nice employees of the Sunnybrook Institute for the Very, Very, Nervous bring a collection van to relocate me to a stress free environment.

Personally, I think signatures are overrated, but I DO like yours, DJT.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Some one liners from the late great Groucho Marx

I've had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it.

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

While hunting in Africa, I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How an elephant got in my pajamas I'll never know.

You are only as old as the woman you feel.

My mother loved children. She would have would have given anything if I had been one.

Either this man is dead or my watch has stopped.

Anyone who says he can see though women is missing a lot.

A child of five could understand this. Someone fetch me a child of five.

Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.
