JHAP, see how many koi you think are in the hotel pond. Then calculate what kind of forage base would be needed for one black crappie, one gar, two LMB, and three sunfish in that same pond.
More importantly, don't tell anyone what you're doing; if confronted, just act mentally challenged.

Here I am sitting in the Arlington Sheraton lobby/computer area and I'm looking around and I don't see any Pond Boss folks.
My wife and I got in today around 1:30.
Walked around the pool, had a rum and coke, and now I'm bored.
I'll be looking for you folks tomorrow. Hey Jeff, WELCOME TO TEXAS...!!!!

I'll be looking for you folks tomorrow. This will be our first chance to verify that you're not one of Theo's alter egos. PM me your cell number!

JHAP, Lusk is at the hotel now and he wants to talk to you.
Check your PM for his cell phone number.

OK so who's getting pumped up???
We already have JHAP and Lusk on-site although they might not have connected just yet.
So the stories will be starting soon...

Just good times for Thursday night, but it could get crazy.
"...I will be headin gout that way.."
No. Don't bring any gout. Please.
You must come on Thursday, Fattay.

Sunil, Bob wants to meet me? What'd I do??? Are my posting priviledges gonna be suspended? I just got off the phone with the Boss. He's meeting me in about 15 minutes. My palms are sweating like a school girl going to her first prom.
George, thank you for welcome to Texas. I really look forward to meeting you.
Bruce, I often forget what I look like. So if you see me remind me who I am. Also, how do you really know that Theo is not one of MY alter egos.

JHAP, see how many koi you think are in the hotel pond. Then calculate what kind of forage base would be needed for one black crappie, one gar, two LMB, and three sunfish in that same pond. Wow, that took a while. There are 197 Koi. 91 males and 106 females. Oh and the hotel staff wasn't too happy about me catching and sex typing the koi. I'm currently working on a graph to illustrate the koi color breakdown. More importantly, don't tell anyone what you're doing; if confronted, just act mentally challenged. Hmmm, it was really easy convincing them that I was mentally challenged...... go figure.

Then calculate what kind of forage base would be needed for one black crappie, one gar, two LMB, and three sunfish in that same pond. After some very intense calculations, I figure that 54 Lop Eared Rabbits ought to do it. 30 females and 24 males (talk about a male Lop Eared Rabbit's dream).

I'll call you a little later, since you're obviously about to get dressed down by Lusk.
I'll be honest with you. The first time I met him, he beat the holy daylights out of me. He said it was a "welcome to the family".
Now, after knowing him for a couple of years I understand why he did it. He wanted to make absolutely certain that I'm wholeheartedly committed to the Pond Boss team.
Be prepared.

I've just done multiple toasts via cell phone with JHAP, his wife, and Lusk.
They are having a blast and there's only three of 'em there.

Does that mean JHAP survived the "initiation"?

Thankfully my spies told me that there would be an initial ceremony that may involve a serious beating. I decided to take matters into my own hands. I lured Bob Lusk to the lobby bar on the guise that I would buy him a drink or three. He took the bait. We are now holding Mr. Lusk hostage. Unless our conditions are met Mr. Lusk will go through a brain washing proceedure in which he will forsake his love of ponds and now be interested in managing squirrel ranches. Pond Boss will be changed into Squirrel Boss. Fear shall grip the nation. Life as you have known it shall cease to exist. Condition number 1: A new thread must be created in which the almighty Green Sunfish is praised to epic proportions. Condition number 2: In this new thread, a minimum of 50 forum members must proclaim their love for the almighty GSF and vow that they shall NEVER post disparaging comments about this magnificant species again. 49 members will not save Mr. Lusk. 50 or more or it's all over. Condition number 3: Ninty one dollars in unmarked bills shall placed into a Flintstones Lunch box and shall be left at a location that we shall disclose in the future. More funds shall be requested as the bar bill ransom requirement increases. Prepare to open your wallets for the cause. We shall post additional conditions in the very near future. WE HAVE SPOKEN!
