Anyone want to guess who the two guest celebrities are for the conference? Here's mine; Tony Stewart and Ray Scott.

I know Tony Stewart is quite a fishing and pond enthusiast, but I doubt if he would give up Bristol for the conference.

Being in the same room as Ray Scott, or Johnny Morris, or Charlie Campbell or Bill Dance (I could go on and on) would be a thrill.

i was kind of hoping george bush and dick cheney would be in townjavascript:void(0)

I think I forgot to mention Condello in my post.

Bing

Jonnie Bubdadine could make an appearance if he's not fishing in the english channel. But they probably would have to pay him big bucks for a trip to the states, so I have some doubt on that one.

I'm guessing Long John Silver and Captain Jack Sparrow!

n8ly...Dick Cheney? Better bring the orange hunting vest and bullet proof vest! Dick Cheney Video

Doubtful. The two don't appear in the same place at once for national security reasons. JMO but I'd be disappointed if a politican showed up.

i wouldnt really categorize the President as a celeb, but lest we not forget W is a pondmeister......11 acres IIRC.....i'd be REALLY impressed if mr. lusk booked him for an appearance.

maybe we can get him on the PB forum after 08...any thoughts on what his screen name might be......well...lets not go there.

I heard Ted Nugent lives in that area now too. Is that true?

Now that is someone I don't care to meet. Sorry if you like him, but he's from up in my neck of the woods and I've know three people that have met him personally. All three walked away disgusted by his arrogance.

If he's there I'll keep my distance.

Bing It may well be 3 of the 5 you named -- Bruce will be there and your guess is as good as mine on the other 2 but I have pics of Bob with 3 of those four.

(javascript:void(0) was my sorry attempt at adding one of those smily faces to my reply. I also cant figure out how to do that bold quote thing yall do.

I'm just hoping to get Bruce's autograph.

Bing, I can't confirm a lot but will say that you will be thrilled by one of them. Might work out to be more.

Jesus! Now that would thrill me!

.....and then ME??? :rolleyes:

Saying you'd like to see Ray Scott, Johnny Morris, Bill Dance and Bruce Condello is kind of like saying you'd like to meet Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, and Krusty the Klown.

LOL that that does sum it up nicely..LOL good chuckle, thanks!

I'll be just as happy to meet Bruce Condello than any "celebrity." And I mean that.

Happier, even. Except maybe for Krusty the Klown.

And what's wrong with Krusty the Clown? Besides, he's the only 1 still living.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that Bruce was a given and not a legitimate guess. Who knows with Tony's private jet and a possible impound race he could still pop in for an appearance.

FamilyTradition:

I stand corrected. I will leave my #24 DuPont hat at home.

Bing

...Are you saying I'm illegitimate?

I'll take the high road and guess Jaime Pressley and Nicole Van Croft.

That's the high road, Dudley? You even spelled Jamie's last name correctly. Have you also admired her...err, assets?

BTW..does Krusty raise trophy bluegills?
Talk about a thread deteriorating.

OK, I see the picture of the clown and will come clean. Otto is the celebrity. But don't tell him.

This seemed to be a guessing games thread, Burger, and I thought I'd try to introduce undertones of realism.

Isn't George Bush Sr. a Pondboss subscriber ?

Give me Bush

I thought it was jr.?

I think they are both members. I know they both have ponds. Maybe that is the two celebs? I remember Ray Scott talking about when SR. came to his place fishing. They had divers look in the water for bombs, etc. I'm sure the PB will welcome the secrect service agents. If not I got some coool aviation glasses I can wear with my suit.

Somehow, I can picture Greg more easily in a wetsuit than a 3-piece suit.

Greg, please don't wear a suit.

Greg,

I'm not wearing a suit! You can't out dress me.

If Greg wears a suit, he'd better be wearing full neoprene waders over the top. If not, he will have no legitamacy whatsoever as far as I'm concerned.

You guys are quick. That was just a joke about looking like a SS agent. You can bet I will not be in a suit. However I might just have to shave off my 4 month old beard just to look a little younger, the gray is out of control. Will rubber knee boats help the image? They might go well with the khakis.

Here's how I'm dressing.

Well we know who the SS will pat down first! That crazy dentist!

Guys I'm inside taking a short break from ice fishing. The pond is so clear I can see all the way to the bottom and every fish that comes up to my bait. It's a thrill but they are really picky and spooky. I think it may be because of the dark area above them due to the shanty and the two holes. I drop my bait in the farthest hole and and can sit back in the chair and watch the bait in the nearest hole. Got one 13 inch perch and missed five or six bigger ones. Nice and cozy in the Dave Gentz two man pop up. Wish you were here Bruce. I bet you'd be thrilled to see those big perch down there.

Why would William Conrad want to show up dressed like a Dentist? I'm confused.

Guys recall that we have the secret service BG form Bruce's naming thread so we won't need the suits. :p

ANTI-DENTITE!!!!!

Quote from Cecil...

Wish you were here Bruce.


Trust me, Cecil. I'd do just about anything to be pullin' 13+ inch perch right now. I'll try to get on the ice Sat. morning.

what is this fascination with ice fishing? If it is that cold I'm huntin'. I will have to get one of you guys to take me sometime before I pass judgement. I guess if you drink enough Beer or Mellow Yellow anything is fun.

It's not so much my fascination with ice fishing, it's just I'm more fascinated with that than I am staying at home watching old reruns of Northern Exposure.

The thing you southern guys don't understand is you don't get cold if you dress right, and this is the only time you can walk on water and fish anywhere on a body of water without messing with a boat. And if it really gets cold you use an ice shanty or ice house like this one. (Or if you're old like me) Now this is living! Where else can you watch the superbowl, fish at the same time, have some beer and brats, and not listen to the wife nag you? Ah sweet home away from home!

Here's a clever design that is built to be practical for pulling.




And this one must have been build by an Irishman:

And here's what happens if you don't get one off the ice soon enough. It becomes fish structure.

"Hey I think we ought to fish over Fred's house today. The gills seem to like Fred's house better than Bill's. Must be that antennae on top!"

Cecil, you likely recall that I’m one of those “The thing you southern guys don't understand is you don't get cold if you dress right".

I can tell you some stories about walking on water and drilling holes in ice 8 – 10 ft thick.


Which ice hole is the latrine?
The devil made me do it...

TEXAS SOUTHERN BOY

that is some shanty, Cecil. Do you rent out ice holes for fishing in that thing?

Cecil knows a lot about iceholes.

Theo – be nice...
By the way, what happened to our “Attendance of two celebrities”

...my turn to be the straight guy.
Cecil,
Am I to believe that a structure as large as the sinking home is truly a temporary ice-fishing house that is moved on and off a frozen lake?

George, are you sure that isn't just "northern" Texas?

That was then this is now!

Actually Texas is an anomaly IMHO. In the northern part of your state you can be sunny and in the 70's in the winter and two days later it's snowing. Am I right?

Are you saying I'm the resident hole expert?

There are many holes. There are A holes...

When that picture was taken most of you guys were just a twinkle in your daddy’s eye..

Cecil – you are so right. Two inches of snow day before yesterday and forecast in the 60’s this week …
Turn on the feeders... :p
