OK, I was out at the pond to (pics and story on another thread), and I saw these giant brain pod looking things on trees, on the bottom of the pond, and even entirely around a duck decoy in there. All at water level, they are light in color and round looks kinda like a coral. and when I knocked it off the duck decoy it was like a firm gelatin substance....WHAT IS IT?? And I being invaded by aliens and should be afraid to goto sleep in fear of being cloned???

HELP!!!!!

The Bryozoans are an ancient race--committed to universal peace.

They rely almost entirely on logic, and love, and inner peace. They are very slow to anger.

They also never wear clothes.

You had me confused for a while until I remembered you have trees in the pond. I thought it was one of those rare "Air Jelly Blob" infestations. They can be dangerous.

Don't let these guys fool you FMcB.

Sure Bryos are cute and cuddly. The appear all innocent and nice. And then they begin wispering to you. Oh, it's not a vocalized wisper, nothing that other folks can hear. One day you are standing next to the pond and then suddenly you hear their voice directly IN you mind.... "JHAP YOU WILL OBEY!!!" You say out loud "Did you hear that?" Any your wife says "Hear what honey?" And then you realize that the are choosing to speak only to you, that YOU have been chosen as their official emissary. And every time you are pond side they are speaking. Always speaking, scratchy wispering in your head. Telling you to think things. Telling you to do things. Telling you to say things. Telling you to post things on Pond Boss. Always talking, never listening. Too many instructions, too much talking, too many voices all at once. Make them be quiet, make them stop talking. And then you realize that you must destoy them. You must make the voices stop. Only one species can survive.

Or maybe that's just my Elodea. I'm not sure because I've never had Bryos in my pond.

Just becareful FMcB, all I'm saying is just be careful. Oh and ear plugs don't work by the way.

I've often suggested that Lusk, himself, is a bryozoan.

Try substituting the word "Pond Boss Editor" for Bryozoan in the previous posts. If it works, you may be on to something.

On the other hand, Fattay either does not read his Pond Boss issues, or does not remember much from the readings.

We'll get him squared away in July.

You're so lucky to have those living filters. I have serious briozoa envy.

Naaahhh can't ship any Bryos. The FBI and Homeland Security don't like to see packages with green melted Jell-O like substances dripping from them -- they seem to think it is related to C-4. When they call on the phone , no matter how well I annunciate , they hear nitro when I say Bryo. ;\)
