do any of you have the floating alligator to scare away birds? I had one at one time but it deteriorated and I threw it away. If I remember correctly it seemed to work fairly well. what have your results been if you have one? I was thinking about ordering one.

I bet our cormorants would dive-bomb it.
Sounds like a good idea, though. I could think of some good pranks involving guests as well.

I'd say it's our fair turn after 73-10 in 2003. That being said, I'll take every chance I get to savor something that has happened twice in 22 years. What a sad streak of futility...may there never be another one like it. Personally, I like the shot of the Ag section exiting en masse before the fourth quarter. I think the rivalry just got more interesting... [Sorry James, back on track...where did you get the first gator? It sounds like a good idea...what kind of birds were you trying to scare away?]

Baylor's playoff chances now seem dim as their opponent this week is :
Legacy Christian Academy of Frisco, sealed up their tenth victory in a row and a spot in the Regional Playoff game. The Regional playoff game will be played at Baylor University's Floyd-Casey Stadium in Waco this Friday at 7:00 p.m.
This appears on LCA's website

A rubber alligator would work for a while. Birds are very good at figuring things out. I have a lot of turtles, so I guess I need this fellow:

Evidently, Lusk's knowledge has become so vast that he realizes how little he knows. Probably downgraded himself. In ten years he'll likely go for three stars.

Damn, Eric! Why'd you do that? I think it was Cecil who blessed me with four stars years ago and I finally hid them, realizing that I knew extremely little. I even posted an opinion a few years back that only those with authoritative knowledge of matters related to aquaculture should have five stars. Time in grade doesn't count. And there's no provision in my profile for hiding the stars. Dave! Sunil! See if you can take those stars off me and next time you see Eric, pour a can of whup-ass on him and tell him it's a gift from me. I'm too old to do it myself.

Look now Dudley - wow 5 stars - amazing what mods can do. Oh sure upgrade Dudley to 5 stars but leave old JHAP, Bob Lusk, Brettski and Theo languishing under the scarlet letter-like classification of four measly stars. I'm thinking of writing a made for TV movie about this oppression. I'm thinking the script will go something like this... [Opening shot of Brettski and JHAP discussing the pros and cons of solar powered vacation retreats. JHAP has his back to the camera. Up walks Moderator Ewest....]
Moderator Ewest: Old woman. JHAP: Man. Moderator Ewest: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there? JHAP: I'm 50. Moderator Ewest: What? JHAP: I'm 50. I'm not old. Moderator Ewest: Well I can't just call you "man". JHAP: Well you could say "Jeff or JHAP". Moderator Ewest: I didn't know you were called JHAP. JHAP: Well you didn't bother to find out did you? Moderator Ewest: I did say sorry about the "old woman", but from behind you looked... JHAP: What I object to is you automatically treat me like a four star rated inferior. Moderator Arthur: Well I am a moderator. Brettski: Oh, moderator eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. Moderator Arthur: I am your supreme moderator. Brettski: Well I didn't vote for you. Moderator Ewest: You don't vote for moderators. Brettski: Well how'd you become moderator then?
[Angelic music plays... ]
Moderator Ewest: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur (a very powerful, link posting computer) from the bosom of the Lake, signifying by divine providence that I, Ewest, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your moderator. JHAP: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' laptop computers is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. JHAP: Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a word processor at you. JHAP: Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Moderator, just because some moistened bint lobbed an internet connected electronic device at me, they'd put me away. JHAP: Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed! Moderator Ewest: Bloody four start rated peasant! JHAP: Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw him Brettski, Didn't you? Oh and Ewest don't even think of upgrading our classifications to 5 stars now. We'll wear our 4 stars as a badge of honor thank you very much.

Oh and sorry James. I believe that this thread was about pest repelling imitate-a-gators about which I have no words of wisdom or experience.
Carry on.

JHAP - I mean old man.
Theo is a mod - he can take care of himself. He is 5+ stars in my book. Bob owns the place so he can do what he wants - including fire the mods and award gold stars + .
Now for the common folk - you have to know how to play the game. The stars mean nothing - at least not to me. The people - now that is a different mater - they mean a lot. Just so you understand - Dudley (even though he complained) is a class guy - for reasons only a few here know . So I acknowledge him just like I do you and B'ski with 5 stars. The difference was no one else had voted for Dudley so my vote was the only one to count. My 5 star vote for you was offset by some dummy who does not understand that people matter. No special powers here - just privileged to share this place with special people who count more than stars.

Mary Gauthier - Lucky Stars
You throw me that look again we both know what it means packing bags and tying up loose ends lettin' go of busted dreams
Silence fills the room tonight You've never been this cold To leave me sliding down your icy look With nowhere to grab a hold
CHORUS I know it's hard to know the truth So we live with points of view I'm counting on my lucky stars I used to count on you
Everything you do to me I've done to you before There's beauty in the symmetry Of evening the score
CHORUS I know it's hard to know the truth So we live with points of view I'm counting on my lucky stars I used to count on you
I know it's hard to know the truth So we live with points of view I'm counting on my lucky stars
