I have more actual friends on Pond Boss than I have from all other aspects of my life combined. How the heck did that happen?

Not that this is a surprise, but a lot of people don't like dentist. But we all love pond gurus on this forum.
In Dog Beers, I've had one.

I'm proud to say that I'm a friend of Bruce's. Course that probably isn't the type of character reference Brettski was looking for.

Bruce maybe people think you're just too good to be true in person? Seriously though I can't imagine everyone not wanting to be your friend. That IS weird. As far as not liking dentists it can't be nearly as bad as being a taxidermist. Many people put me in the same category as morticians (not dishing morticians though as I'm sure it requires a lot of training an skill).
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Just thinking, Cecil - if you got together with a Mortician, you could do a VERY realistic ice fishing scene.

Hey did you even notice I'm here in the evening for once. Ricki is still back east and I'm on my own still. I'm find all kinds of stuff to get into and learning new things every day.
Today I learned that you should never open the trap door that is on the bottom of the toaster. It lets all the crumbs out. That leads to vacuuming the floor.

Dr. Brucenstein, you must work too hard during the day. Then, you're off for pond/fishing time, and we're the only ones who check in 24 hours a day on that stuff! Thank goodness your family likes you so much.

Glad you posted that photo, DIED. I spoke with Lusk yesterday, and he said the water was 18 inches OVER that dock during that 10 inch rain last week. No permanent damage he said, which says something about Bob's stewardship (care for the land and ponds).

No, no Tom we're not saying that you're a heel because you like Bruce. Heck Bruce is a great guy and being friends with him doesn't make you a heel. We have other reasons that we think you're a heel. Just to clarify Bobad, I was in fact talking about bread crumbs. All the "other" crumbs were all ready loose when I got here.

Geez, a guy gets busy shipping several hundred fish and look what he'll miss! This is some FUNNY stuff! one of the few threads I read EVERY post to in order to catch up.
One thought crossed my mind for Bruce. BigBlueGill.com shirts?!?! I may have to resort to blackmail if I don't see one in my mail soon! Just kidding----but if I'm not, I'll bet I'm holding up the same finger(s) as Jhap. Let me turn up the volume!

What do you catch using heels for bait?And what does that have to do with being friends with Bruce?Or are you saying Im a heel cause I like the guy? ??? Now I'm really confused. It's bad enough I've been confused from birth Tom, even though I test high on the I.Q. scale (at least on the Internet where there is no time limit). In case there is a misunderstanding on your end, and you're not pulling my leg -- here's an explanation for the heel comment: Davasta made the following comment when in college I revealed I put on identical shoes with two different size heels, and thought overnight I had legs of two different lengths (in reference to Bruce's comments about thinking there was something wrong with his eyes when he forgot to put his contact lenses in). Well...other than the fact that you apparently wore women's footwear in college, there is nothing wrong with you. And somewhere in the thread pantyhose came up (in reference to my pantyhose pellets.) My response of course was the shoes I wore in college were not "heels" as in women's shoes but all shoes have heels..
