Happy Pond Boss Birthday to me.
Yep two years ago today I joined Pond Boss. Goes by fast don’t it. I’ve learned tons, laughed a lot, and met lots of new friends.
This is my 1,820th post, that’s an average of 2.49 posts per day. Since I’ve be accused of posting to myself many times and posting useless dribble thereby wasting bandwidth, I decided to audit my posts. Here are the results:
Total number of posts to date: 1,820
Less postings that represent replying to myself : 479
Less posting in which humor (or attempted humor) was the only subject matter: 1,337
Equals number of posts in which something beneficial was added to the forum = 4.
There you have it. Four times I have added useful information to this forum. HA!!!! Take that naysayers! That’s an average of two good posts per year!
Of course now I'm entering into my terrible twos, so all I can say is HANG ON, the ride may get a little bumpy from here on!
Oh and PS, I can’t guarantee that I can maintain the 2 good posts per year average. That may have been a fluke.
JHAP, if you've only made 4 useful posts in 2 years, they must have all come during the last week - 'cause you've made at least that many recently.
OTOH, we're in for your "terrible twos" now.
Heck, I've only made 1134 posts. You're way ahead of me, JHAP!!
Oh wait, make this the 1135th! Learned that little trick from Theo. I didn't really contribute, but just chit-chatted. However, it counts just the same as a Bill Cody masterpiece.
Happy Birthday JHAP.
Anyone know what you get a 2 year old pond nut?
Congrats my friend. I can truthfully say life on the forum hasn't been the same since you came on board. I mean that in a good way. Four informative post put you 3 and half ahead of me.
Four informative post in only 2 years. Quit bragging! I've been here 4.33 years, and my only post that was close to an informative post was my masterpiece that suggested that one wear tennis shoes instead of boots when wadding in their pond.
Jeff, I think I have had only 4 post that have been funny to spite many attempts. I stick to some attempt at useful info. I enjoy your humor btw, jealous really I do not have the same wit.
PS what is it Sunil, only 2 post that have not had a typo?
Happy Birthday JHAP.

Ain't nothin like tootin your own horn.....You should have added this subject to the "posts to self" section! LOL
Congrats,and its not the terrible twos,its the terrific twos on PondBoss
You had 4 good posts? Really? Aw, come on.
Don't go getting serious on us.
Congrats, JHAP, thanks to you, I now know more about greenies than I ever hoped to learn.
Thanks.
Thanks all for the mostly kind words.
I'm in the process of learning Photoshop, so my terrible two's might be slightly more terrible than previously anticipated.
Can't ya just wait until I'm a rebellious teen??????
I can only hope he doesn't drop the
Cosby Brady kids at the pool
I thought in honor of Jeff, I would link back to his first post.
Hillarious from day one! Loved the Al Gore reference!
Jeff's First Newbie Post......My, how they grow.....
JHAP,
I followed Rainmans link and then followed the link to your lake website. You have a beautiful lake/pond.
The Al Gore reference is pretty good. happy late Pond Boss birthday
i'm older than you, and i've made 5 useful posts so there....
happy birthday bro
PS what is it Sunil, only 2 post that have not had a typo?
Now
that's funny!
Yep Bruce as Jeff Foxworthy states the thigns that are true are always the funniest. You claim as funny so post number 5 where I was funny, sweet.
For the longest time, Greg, I thought you had one of those things where you just speak and the computer generates the text!
Nope Sunil just bad typing with no spell check ran, too big of a hurry most times. Besides they do not have one of those that picks up my southern drawl.
Rainman, thanks for posting the link to my first post. Wow, what a trip down memory lane. Second post and I was already a wisenheimer. That should have been a red flag.
Brett, thanks for the kind words about the pond, I really need to update and upgrade the website - that is always very low on the priority list. Usually when I'm on the internet I'm either researching a tax issue or scrutinizing Pond Boss posts to determine if there are anyone's words I can twist for my own demented purposes (not necessarily in that order of priority).
DIED, thanks for posting. Try to be more of a regular would ya? Dang, lately I feel like teenage girl after I let you go to second base - - you never call, you don't write...
Greg, don't worry about spelling, the only reason my spelling is OK most of the time due to a spell checker.
Thanks again everyone.
Well I've got work to do.....
now where are those photos of Brettski, I know I have them around here somewhere.
Oh and as an also and besides, this is the very first photo that I posted on Pond Boss. I posted this on August 4, 2006 in the Several unknown facts about redears thread.
Don't worry JHAP, I have learned in going through numerous topics on this website that when I see your initials I just skip on to the next one...so, post away...
...........DIED, thanks for posting. Try to be more of a regular would ya? Dang, lately I feel like teenage girl after I let you go to second base - - you never call, you don't write...
.................
I stand corrected on the first photoshop pic.
Whoo boy!
I don't admit this in many places, but I am really and truly the one and only sibling of JHAP.
One of his favorite movies when we were kids was, "The Incredible Mr. Limpet" starring Don Knotts.
THAT should have told us something.
BTW. . .did he tell you guys he was born in a sanitarium???
--Ladyfish
Welcome aboard, Ladyfish.
No, he didn't tell us he was born in a nuthouse, but we all kind of guessed there was something going on.
It was kind of like the 800 lb. gorilla in the room when you were talking to him at the convention. You know, he'd be talking, and you'd just be nodding your head but really, you'd be wondering "....is this guy nuts or what?"
a hearty welcome ladyfish, you appear to sound as a normal and grounded individual, isnt it amazing just how different siblings can be from one another
......yer surrounded now JHAP.....
Hey, I really liked Mr. Limpet. As I recall, he dang near whipped the Axis by himself. What a roar.
Welcome Ladyfish, hmmmm, sounds like you are my sister.
And yes because I am the undisputed "Duke of Disclosure" I did in fact inform this forum that I was born in a Sanitarium. In fact you received honorable mention in the post. Here it be:
JHAP was born in a sanitarium Sunil just doesn't remember because, for reasons that I can only speculate on, his long term memory doesn't seem to function properly.
Oh and as an also and besides The Incredible Mr. Limpet is STILL one of my most favorite movies.
Yo recuerdo ahora, mi amigo.
why do i have to press 1 for english?
"I remember now, my friend"
