Pond Boss
Posted By: Bruce Condello Managing for global warming - 09/26/05 05:50 PM
I'm a newbie and I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice. My pond is currently thriving with large numbers of ten-pound plus largemouth and you can catch a 10 inch bluegill on every cast.

I seem to have discovered a potential problem, however. I've been researching global warming and I've noticed a definitive inverse relationship between the global average temperature and the number of pirates found worldwide. Please review the following chart I've created.



Anyway, I just thought that trends such as these reveal a need for me to be proactive in my pond management goals. If indeed global warming is having such profound effects on planet Earth should I consider liming my pond? Or possibly stocking hybrid bluegill? Any comments would be appreciated.

Did the laughing gas storage system spring a leak while you were in the room. Where did that chart come from ? \:\) ;\) Better hide ( ahh lose )the keys. \:D ewest

While my assistant's question remains pertinant, his failure to have his work reviewed by the Grad Committee at the Gallus Institute for Higher Hilarity is revealed by the switched numbers of pirates for the years 1820 and 1860. I would also like to avoid any confusing by pointing out that he is referring to High Seas, "Rrr!!" pirates in this analysis. Similar research has shown that software pirates did not begin to flourish until the effects of Global Warming were beginning to become noticeable and that their numbers have a direct-square realationship to the average mean increase in global temperature.

All in all, though, a commendable effort worthy of Bruce's BS (Bulls***), MS (More of the Same), and PHD (Piled Higher and Deeper) degrees.

Bruce, I would begin to worry about you if I wasn't doing it already. ROTF \:D \:D \:D

Bruce, as you've no doubt noticed by now, you need progressively more and more gas just to reach the same high as you did the previous day.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again ............................................
Lay off the gas, Man! Just lay off the gas.

Out.

Bruce, I gotta know...are you a member/supporter/worshipper of the Flying Spaghetti Monster???

I don't want to get into a religous/political feud on this subject. You just took and used the pirate graph, which is definitely ingenious and funny The website however has me a little disturbed, although it does shed a unique perspective on the subject. I'll leave it at that. For those who have no idea what I am talking about (Flying Spaghetti Monster) click here .

P.S. What if a pirate hatchery was made and bred pirate by the thousands? Would this reverse the negative affects of global warming? ;\)

Actually, Cecil was having problems with photobucket so I decided to try and post a new image to photobucket to test the system. The graph was the last thing I had seen, so I needed a plausible (NOT) context in which to post it. It seemed funny at the time.
Posted By: Dave Willis Re: Managing for global warming - 09/26/05 11:31 PM
Bruce - to do a true statistical analysis, you cannot use averages on your Y-axis. We're supposed to use the empirical (raw) data. Sorry; couldn't resist.

Bruce,
I don't think this is the time to lime.

It's possible you could offset the ballance of the Supreme Court!
I would definetly wait until the turn of the last century, or perhaps the return of the present past.
Grrrrr mate'y it is as it was before!
Posted By: Bruce Condello Re: Managing for global warming - 09/27/05 12:11 AM
I'm really appreciating all the advice. I also scoured previous threads on similar subjects and found the following post by Bill Cody dated April, 2002:

"If you reverse the current on a 220 V. Gast aerator you will find that within half an hour you will be projected 30 minutes into the future".

This seemed related to the pirate problems that I'm anticipating.

Posted By: bz Re: Managing for global warming - 09/27/05 08:46 PM
I'm not anywhere near the same league as you guys. I'm still trying to figure out how the amount of rainfall affects the water level in my pond. I haven't graduated to the level of figuring how Pirates of the Carribean affect my need for lime but you have educated me that there is a connection. Glad I watch this forum.
Posted By: Theo Gallus Re: Managing for global warming - 09/28/05 01:27 AM
It's really simple, BZ. The local density of the Pirates of the Carribean is directly proportional to the Johnny Deppth of your pond.

When me crew saw yer boat, every scurvy-boned mate who was married jumped ship. Me had a mutiny on me hands.

Aaarrrggggghhhh!!!!!!
Posted By: Dave Davidson Re: Managing for global warming - 10/05/05 10:58 PM
Sunil, I'm not surprised your crew jumped ship when they saw me. You know, they name hurricanes after people. Heck, I've been blamed for mudslides, ice storms, earthquakes and assorted other local calamities. Most from an x-wife.

But me, a pirate? Hell no; I'm a Headhunter of the slimiest sort. My goal is to do obscene things to your recruiting budget (or else).

We came to this land from across the perilous seas from the Scottish highlands to find a new home. We fit the Comanch and the Hispans to settle the new land and called ourselves Texicans. Being peacable people we developed a new weapon to make ourselves invincible and safe from interlopers. We covered ourselves in the manure of the male bovine and for longer than our old ones remembered, none dared come upon us. Now we hear of a new and terrible weapon developed by a Pennsylvania Dutchman by way of the Indies. Rumor has it that this fisherfolk has surrounded himself with the eau of shat breeches of urchin. If this brigand comes through Hispanola past the Bermuda Triangle and bears WNW the Gulf breezes will render our lands uninhabitable. Some are considering suicide or (shudder) crossing the Red River into the Oklahoma Territory, a land known for brigands, thieves and OU Sooners. If they find no welcome there, their plans are to travel west to the Pacific Ocean where they will live on milk and honey at the expense of the current residents who have gainful employment.

I would think that bookings are wide open for the holiday season. Can't imagine anyone wanting to tour the "resort islands" off east or west Africa. :rolleyes:

BTW,re: global warming, was anyone able to stomach the made for TV movie "Category 7"? What a disaster.

Interesting that the attack happened in the Seychelles, perhaps the World's best location for bonefish...maybe some travel "bargains" to that location soon.
Posted By: Meadowlark Re: Managing for global warming - 11/07/05 04:43 PM
Yea...I'm sure glad Deb posted that link cause a group of us have been(had been) planning a bonefishing trip there in Spring....not with Pirates...and the fishing there is from a mother ship, very vulnerable to Pirates.

Ahoooy ye small water pirates . Bloody William Kidd rasin the flag on the big day. Got well from dat broke leg from fallin off the stool when ole Iron Roger Read was tellin about leaddy header.

Cutlass is sharp and eyeglass is scanin the horizon for cold water Black Jack doin pond surveys on his skiff or them sneeky low life mist creatures. They be a goin to Davy Jones locker ifin I catch umm round my waters. Be an eye a-pealed for Mad Sam to see what his pirates who play games with other swashbucklers are a doin. Ole Guvner been land locked with no water for floatin his boat so its been easy sailin down in them southern seas.
