It seems that Catmandoo (Ken G.), Todd3183 (Todd Laneve), and Rainman (Rex) will be at my pond in Somerset PA on Friday Oct. 22, '10.
So, if there's any other PB members who are close by, please accept an invitation to join us.
It seems like Ken is going to grace us with his culinary indiscretions kind of in a Survivor Man mode, using what we can catch in my pond, or what he can find on the street.
Rex will be delivering some fish for all of us.
Todd will provide moral support for all attendees to eat what Ken prepares.
Regarding fish to cook, we will certainly have Bluegill, Bullheads, some LMB, and maybe some crappie, channel cat, and Yellow Perch.

There goes the neighborhood.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Don't worry, Guvnor, that neighborhood's been gone for a long, long time.

Obviously photos are required for this event. All photos, and all written accounts -- factual, exaggerated, or otherwise, shall require careful scrutiny by attending legal counsel, prior to posting.

Wow. I just Googled Sunil's "pond." This ain't no BOW for Bill Cody's yacht! It appears to have its own rail line running from one end to the other. I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable in anything less than a 60-foot vessel captained by a Coast Guard licensed pilot.
Lynda is worried about my involvement in this adventure. She's hoping none of us will need Todd's services.
For those attending, we'll have epicurean delights like you've never tasted before.

Obviously photos are required for this event. Jeff, This seems like a perfect opportunity for you. Isn't it time to visit the in-laws? I'd be glad to pick you up before sun-up and get you back shortly after sun-down. I can throw a ladder in the truck if you find it necessary to sneak out and back in. Todd would have to evaluate the decision, but I think we could possibly extend our legal review of photos and stories to your presence. Ken

This will no doubt turn out to be a good old fashioned east coast throwdown. Of course, the world will likely never know as we'll be sure to apply a good dose of legal redaction to all written, photographic, or other recordings of events that may be alleged to have taken place!

This could be almost like Woodstock 69.
This could be almost like Altamont 69.
We probably will have a few hundred-thousand less people, a few dozen less famous musicians, and a lot less drugs (except for those of us taking drugs for blood pressure, cholesterol, heart rhythm, hair loss, . . .
We need a name -- Somerset 10-10 . . . ????
One last thought -- how about FishStock 1010?

Let's take full photo documentation, but then put the infamous black bar over everyone's eyes in the pictures.

I'd love to Ken, unfortunately it's just not doable with my schedule. I'll just have to be there in spirit.

You should set up a Web Conference for the event for those of us that are excluded from on-site participation. That way the event could be worldwide rather than local. You can have a worldwide event with only the local beer costs to worry about!

Maybe we'll drunk-dial you on Thursday night, JHAP. Lucky for you the time difference 'cause drunk-dialing is best when you're waking up the recipient of the call.
This is especially important if the call recipient is a good friend. Really, they're glad you cared enough to call, so they don't want to hang up on you for waking them up; then the blathering from the call initiaters becomes too much and anger sets in 'cause the call recipient was woken up by the call.

One last thought -- how about FishStock 1010? Hey, if I could get a leather biker's vest, I could look a little bit like the Hell's Angels that worked "security" at Altamont! Or we could just skip that part, down our Lipitor with a couple of cold beers and take home our fish from Rex! I vote for Fishstock, but dammit, I'm not camping out and shunning civilized living standards just for the effect!

I find that the hang up usually occurs somewhere after the 8th or 9th recitation of how much the drunken caller loves the woken up callee.

Sunil is ignoring me again (I know it's just because he doesn't understand me).
The thing about drunk-dial is the unintended consequences when wife answers and gets the "treatment" from an unknown slobber-drooler.

You just made the list, Dwight.
(taken from Stripes)
No, really, Dwight, I'm not ingnoring you. We can call you also. I think you only get a 1-hour time zone reprieve.

I have to be in court that morning and possibly into the afternoon of that Friday, but had planned on being at our hunting cabin in PA that evening. So, if timing works out I hope to be able to swing by... What time were the festivities planned for?

It seems we're getting together Thursday night, staying in a hotel near my pond. Then it will all depend on Rainman 'cause Todd, and maybe Ken, have to get their fish back to their ponds.
So Friday morning into the mid-afternoon if you can make it, CJ.

Sounds like I will just miss out. If I get out of court early I may be able to make the back end to at least meet you all. Might know more as it gets closer. Getting a show of cause issued against me probably wouldn't be the best idea...

Definitely not, but getting a continuance granted because of your urgent need to attend to a "family" matter isn't too bad of a thought! After all, this IS widely regarded as the Pond Boss Family! Make that prosecutor actually do some useful work for once and file a continuance for your hearing!

CJ, I may still be there past 3PM.
Keep in touch on your status.

I probably won't get up there until sun-up on Friday morning. The rest are arriving on Thursday night. They'll probably need some protein by morning. Your suggestion would certainly fix any growling they might have in their tummies.
