Sorry to hijack so many threads this late at night. We just got back to Htown after 10 days away, since IKE, didnt take a hike. Very lucky to be right in the teeth of it, with only some old(since Alicia) fence down and a few branches from the red maple in the front yard. The neighborhood looks pretty shoddy, but not like the poor folks in Crystal Beach, Galveston, Bridge City, others. My wife was at the pond in Miss., and had to prepare for Gustov; I stayed nort of town with son and family. They were fortunate, too. Then headed to Miss. where lots of mowing, bush hogging, and tree trimming awaited. The weather has been great, though. Unfortunately, when the weather gets good, the hay fever sets in. Such is life.
Glad you didn't lose it like a lot of people just South of you did. Yeah, I'm popping allergy pills.
I don't think any apoligies are necessary, burger. Glad the damage to your place was minimal.
In my humble opinion, if someone is so concerned about a minor thread highjack, they have consider what they've paid for the ability to make a post here in the first place (of course, I also say this considering that I highjack threads too!).
Not to worry about thread hijacking, BM. All is forgiven.
Did you know that in 1741, Captain Rice set sail from Antigua with a mutinous crew? He never reached his destination.
I'm getting a lot of algae and film on the surface of my pond lately. A bunch of water ran through my little pond during the 16" rain event from tropical storm Fay and I wonder if that had anything to do with it. My watershed is mostly agricultural land and I imagine there was a lot of fertilizer on the ground that time of year.
Glad to hear damage was minimal, Burg. If we can hold our breath a little while, hurricane season will be over... for a while.
i have a leaky pond, how do i fix it?
Did you know that in 1741, Captain Rice set sail from Antigua with a mutinous crew? He never reached his destination.
And that has something to do with the price of Rice?
GW, if you do a Google search, you may find a forum about ponds and such.
What..... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen Swallow?
An African or European swallow?

Ah, Moby Dick, I love that book, and the Led Zepplin song now that I mention it.

What..... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen Swallow?
That depends on how many coconuts it is carrying.

In a vacuum or at 1 bar?
Speaking of bars, if the conference is held at the Arlington Sheraton next year I sure hope the bar has been completed.

Oh and speaking of flop eared rabbits. A word to the wise, you need to be very careful with your forage breeding program. Too much inbreeding can lead to highly agressive
KILLER BUNNIES.
EVERYONE REMAIN SEATED! I'M TAKING THIS THREAD TO CUBA!
Cuba? Really? I have found he is so unapprochable after
winning the Oscar and really quick to file a restraining order I might add.
Is there really a Cuba Gooding Sr.?

Are we gonna bomb the rabbit on our way by?
Theo look, in order to maintain air speed velocity a sparrow has to flap his wings.....Wait, do you mean an African Swallow or a European Swallow??
If a tree falls in the forest, and there's nobody around to hear it, will my baked beans burn on the stove at say 450F?

If your stove is set at 450F,wont your beer get hot faster than you can drink it?
thats what they make huggies for
Contrary to what you may have read somehwere on here, Canadians do in fact litter. Just look at "our" geese.
Wait, do you mean an African Swallow or a European Swallow??
Badger, badger, badger, badger Go ahead watch it. You know you want to.
thats what they make huggies for
Ok, come on Dave, how is a diaper supposed to keep your beer cold?
On second thought nevermind. I don't think I want to know.
Badgers, We don't need no stinking Badgers.....
JoeG looks around the board and thinks, "It must be feeding time at the zoo..."
Someone told me
Its all happening at the zoo.
I do believe it,
I do believe its true.
Its a light and tumble journey
From the east side to the park;
Just a fine and fancy ramble
To the zoo.
But you can take the crosstown bus
If its raining or its cold,
And the animals will love it
If you do.
Somethin tells me
Its all happening at the zoo.
The monkeys stand for honesty,
Giraffes are insincere,
And the elephants are kindly but
Theyre dumb.
Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages,
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum.
Zebras are reactionaries,
Antelopes are missionaries,
Pigeons plot in secrecy,
And hamsters turn on frequently.
What a gas! you gotta come and see
At the zoo. At the zooo ooo, at the zoo oooo.
I'm going to go out and watch the fatheads devour the maggots as they drip into the pond, maybe have a cold one while I am at it, and then get back to sanding my drywall, this is too much fun. JHAP, you need help buddy...serious help. heh heh.
the dentist's dream child:
An African or European swallow?
Well...I don't know that!
everyone be seated this plane is landing
HILLBILLY FIRE ALARM
ROTFLMAO
Im gonna get one and hang it my wall tonite.Thats too funny.
An African or European swallow?
Well...I don't know that!
I think they were really talking about a beer swallow................never mind,Ill go to my room now
A beer swallow is called a "swig" where I come from. Coconut has no business in a swig, that's a Pina Colada.
That reminds me Heybud. I meant to tell you that I stopped by your place a couple of weeks ago but somehow I just couldn't muster the courage to ring the doorbell..
.

In Texas we take bigger "swigs" and therefore they become "swallows".For instance there are several swigs in a beer,but there are only 2 swallows
Again that begs the question, African or European??
That would keep me away from heybud's house also. I wouldn't even want to knock on the door.
Wouldn't slow down a door-to-door proctologist would it?
Especially a veterinary proctologist.
I hate to fathom the depth of the topic, but perhaps a veterinary proctologist lives there.
if there's any newbies following this thread
please bear with us.
Hey, what this green stuff in my pond?
This is about a normal progression of responses to a well thought out topic. Note the usual suspects. I hope you're getting your money's worth.....in the cheap seats.
...huh? what? I blacked out
In Texas we take bigger "swigs" and therefore they become "swallows".For instance there are several swigs in a beer,but there are only 2 swallows
In Illinois we take bigger swallows and therefore they become Chugs. There are 2 swallows in a beer but there is only one chug.
And still no coconuts.
Did you guys know that a bucket of chicken can score a touchdown?

This is how I make a living..does that qualify?
Oh sure, blame me for starting it just because I started it.
Not many people know this, but the turtle is nature's suction cup.
I always thought they were the soup bowls.
What happens if the elephant has gas!?
Maybe those guys need padding.
VERSION #2 
If I pour beer in the pond while Im feeding the fish,will they get the munchies and eat more food?
Not many people know this, but the turtle is nature's suction cup.
For some crazy reason, that was one of the funniest things I've ever read.
I just knew that elephant photo was going to get some collage exposure.
Thanks, but I can't take credit for it. It's a quote from UHF. The movie is full of crazy, goofy humor. Weird All Yankovich plays the lead roll if that tells you anything.
Someone else qouted UHF so I thought I would join In. "Badgers..... we don't need no stinking badgers!"
Stanley spudowskis....drink for a firehose
Dave and Jeff wouldn't stand for it. They would answer the questions ask especially if some citizen ask a question about pond management. To heck with the economy, I have spent all my money on my pond. If the govt wants anything from me, I'll just send them a green sunfish. Oops! wrong thread.

Are you sure THAT would be considered a confined space?

They deleted THE OTHER thread so I thought we could get back on track with this one.Burger,what were we talking about again?Did this thread get hijacked somewhere?Who took my beer?
Was the OTHER THREAD deleted due to content?

I cant remember another thread,who took my beer.I need it back before it gets too hot to drink.And I want it back in the kuzy please!
Tom, you must have forgotten Sunil's First law of beer consumption:
Thou shall not apply kozies to beer bottles. If thou can't consumth it before itth getth warmith thenith you should be consuming kool aidith.
At the conference someone tried to apply a kozey to Sunil's beer and suddently all I saw was a blur. His left had moved with lightening speed, shot out and did some sort of jujitsu move and broke the guys arm. It was very frightening. He was in the middle of discussing obsure guitar players or something and Sunil didn't even change facial expressions, he just kept right on talking as though nothing had happened.
Sunil is a very nice guy until you break one of his rules. Then it's every man for himself.
Jeff,I didnt break Sunils piddly little rule.It was a CAN,not a bottle.Besides,Im not scared of him,I can run faster than he can
That's weird about Sunil and kozies. I want use them either. Does that have any bearing how people will think of me cause I have one of the same beliefs as Sunil? If it does, I will start using a kozie, I promise.
I use cozies all the time for my can beer, I don't want it getting the slightest bit tepid and I don't want me fingers to get cold either. I use them year round too, just one of my things. Of course, when I am working at home here for myself I tend to run dozer with a beer crammed down by the seat, helps keep them upright too.
i absolutely do not use cozies for my cans of beer...........i use huggies........just in case my beer cant control itself
I think we have been on the topic of cozies for too long now. Someone re high jack this thread or I'll be forced to do it myself.

JHAP does not like peas. He does however like nuts -- no wait -- he IS nuts. Yeah that's it.

JWHAP, a serving suggestion:
I eat my peas with honey.
I've done it all my life.
It makes them taste quite funny,
But it keeps them on the knife.
JHAP does not like peas. He does however like nuts -- no wait -- he IS nuts. Yeah that's it.
How many times do I have to tell you, it's not politically correct to use the term nuts. We prefer the term reality challenged.
Oh and Theo, my Mom tried years ago the honey on peas thing. Highly over rated. They still taste like peas.
Back to the peanut name thing. What is it with people naming things:
Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Rockbass - None of them are bass.
Sacramento Perch aren't perch.
Catfish don't have any cat in them.
Who names this stuff?
I had a cat named catfish once.
....................

ahh, but you never tried DWIED peas wrapped in bacon. she either uses really big peas, or really small bacon.....
BTW, heybud, did you ever cook DWIED'S BS recipe?
Even JHAP loved DWIED's BS, a day that will live in infamy.
Derailed again.....O.K..,how many beernuts are there on this forum?
Anyone that drinks beer from a can deserves a cozzy, koozy, or whtever.
Put enough mayonnaise on peas and you dont taste the peas; my oldest son can attest to that.
JHAP is a granola.
Back to the peanut name thing. What is it with people naming things:

They named em after cats cause they TASTE like cat.Try it,you'll see.

I am a beer nut. Favorite one is Two Hearted Ale.
Even JHAP loved DWIED's BS, a day that will live in infamy.
Jeez, I'm never going to live that down. Ok I concede that if you wrapped peas in bacon and fed me enough alcohol I'd probably eat them. But I'd prefer large bacon and small peas, please.
if a peanut is a legume, then it is a pea.
I was going to protest that comment, request moderation, possibly even go so far as to demand censorship. Then I realized that you're probably right.

Tom, Tom, Tom. You're gonna be in trouble when JWHAP read this.
Can I use alum to clear my driving record? Will I have to turn the aerator off first? Will it muddy my record back up when I do turn it back on? It took almost as many years to accumulate this many tickets as it took beers for my belly!
DIED, I tried the BS recipe and it was scumpilisous? It is good especially with cat. You know I meant fish right?
By the way BS means brussels sprouts, not that other stuff.

BS!!
i'm pleased heybud.
DWIED makes the best BS in the lower 48!
Speaking of BS, I am now bereft of it. Just got back from hauling Peyton, our Polled Hereford bull, to the livestock sale.
No BS.
I would say Peyton is in deep __ __ .
Hey Bruce, James, and any other dentists, have you ever had a kid come in to the office after just eating some oreo's?
Heybud, Check this cat out! Turn up the sound too. It's set to the tune of "the Cat's In The Cradle".
Cats!
chris, get back to yer homework!
Hey Bruce, James, and any other dentists, have you ever had a kid come in to the office after just eating some oreo's?
No, but once I was going to have our best hygienist clean my teeth and I prepped by eating oreos on one side and cheetos on the other. It's quite a trick, but it
can be done.
I prepped by eating oreos on one side and cheetos on the other.
That's just
wrong. (shudder)
Theo what is a polled bull?? Is that what the rest of us call a steer or do you clip something else off too???
"Polled Hereford" is the breed. They are those red beef cattle with white heads/feet/tail tips and no horns.
THE POLLED HEREFORD STORY
(soon to be a major motion picture)
The original Hereford breed had horns. The guy who created the Polled Hereford breed wanted Herefords with no horns; he sent letters to every registered Hereford owner "polling" them as to whether they had any Herefords without horns. From this effort he found 173 (IIRC) hornless Herefords, and these were the foundation of the Polled Hereford breed.
Note: That's not exactly what online sources state, but it's the way it was told to me.
Polled Bull, horny but no horns.
Got rid of, yes. Beloved, hardly.
My Polled Hereford bull partner down the road and I have had this one for about 4 years now. He has always made Fish Wife nervous; he's not mean, just real stubborn (think 2500 lbs of stubborn). Next year 4 of the 6 females of breeding age in our small herd will be his daughters. And my partner, who is 75, is recovering from a near-fatal case of septicemia and decided it was time to get out of the cattle business.
Adios, Peyton. I'll be looking for a new bull/bull calf next year.
Theo,why wait till next year,there's plenty of bull around here right now you can have for free.We can even poll it for you.
Lets take a poll for Theo,how many thinks he needs more Bull?
I've never met Theo but he seems to be equally full of useful knowledge and bull, I can't see him needing a poll or otherwise to tell him that. Could say that too much bull never hurt a hijacked thread like this one though....
For Theos, there is a rapidly approaching point of diminishing returns that arrives from adding any more bull at all, almost like an overflowing cup.
Yes Bull
There ya go Theo.Free polled bull.Aint we Texans nice
i'm gonna be the first person to ever troll maggots and leeches.
I haven't tried trolling with maggots, I usually fish them under a bobber...
Maggots are a good tadpole bait, they will eat them of the bottom en masse, I saw it under my maggot machine, the ones that hit the bottom of the pond are tadpole food...
Can you Lo-Jack a thread??? Maybe to get things back on the owners purpose?
I thought its purpose WAS to get hijacked

What the heck is that chasing the tasty bucket of chicken? Another chicken mad because he is not delicious like the colonel's chicken? Perhaps he is a Popeye's chicken!!!

Speaking of hijacking a post, how do I start a new thread?
Hey RAH...once you log in, select "active topics" then select any of the folders like "questions and observations"...then towards the top is a small button that says "new topic" near the top..the world's in trouble when I start given computer advice!
I miss Theo Gallus, Steve Sanders too. (not the one who briefly sang with The Oak Ridge Boys!
Thank you Ghostown! Even with those clear instructions, I struggled, but finally succeeded.
