Just kidding. I'm going to be around to torment all of you for a long time.

In seriousness, I just wanted to thank all of the forum members for the time they take to post. I really enjoy informative posts, opinion posts, humorous posts, controversial posts, question posts....I love it all and I think everybody here (that means EVERYBODY) deserves a hand for participating. I have owned land for almost eight years now, and I feel like 2006 is really the first year that I enter with an intelligable plan. The stimulating discusion is something that I credit entirely for anything that I may end up doing right this year. I'll screw some things up too, but y'all will be there to bail me out.


Thanks again. Much appreciation.

Bruce

Bruce, the screw ups are called experiments and character builders.


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.

Let's not fool ourselves now.

I have the same feelings Bruce. I thoroughly enjoy reading your informative posts! Thanks to you also.

Now, which way does Sunil mean that? \:D

Must be nice. I haven't reached that level yet. \:o All the success I have is purely accidental. I'm serious. I can't count how many things have worked out due to happy accidents, and when I plan what I am going to do it doesn't work out!

I'm glad I didn't have the funds in the beginning ot do what I wanted to. It would have been one big cluster chuck! I now know better now. But I am learning. Look out Bruce!

Bruce is getting sentimental on us. He must be "on that gas" again. Somebody, turn off the gas.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I don't think it's the gas this time. I think today was Bruce's day off. The weather may have been too bad to be outdoors.

No, I'd say it's half cabin fever, half J.D., and half loneliness.

That might be Cecil's funniest post ever! You can almost see him teetering on the edge. He's one step away from sitting in the corner chattering like a raccoon.

Cecil looks for spy camera that Bill Cody planted last time he was here...

You know, with me getting all sentimental, how can you not reflect back on some of the classic posts of 2005.

We all remember how Theo discovered after years of problems, that horse tanks hold water more effectively when the open end is pointed up.

And who could forget Bill Cody, who informed us that every time he ran his aerator for 30 minutes that he was projected half an hour into the future. That kind of thing is just priceless.

And what about our friend Sunil? His classic post, when he told us that he could make better decisions on pond management by lining the entire inside of his house with aluminum foil. I mean really! Where else can you get this kind of information.

And then there's ewest. He may have saved us all hundreds of hours of frustration when he posted a link, that led to another link, that led back to the first link. He went round and round for days before a passerby pulled him free. Had he not informed us of this potential problem....well, who knows the tragic consequences?

http://www.pondboss.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=20&t=002291

There have been countless posts, by countless caring pondmesiters that make this forum what it is. I tip my hat to all of you.

Does anybody remember any more of the classics?

News to me. I have never heard of using Ammonia Nitrate to assist in digging a pond. The only way that I could imagine that happening would be to dig a deep hole with post hole diggers and shovels. Go down about 20 feet, pour in a mixture of diesel and ammonia nitrate. Stick in a fuse. Light it and run.

You should hear a loud boom, and see a lot of dirt flying in the air. The sheriff will drive up and say, "Why are you laying out here in this pasture smoking?" To which you will reply, "Shucks officer, had you been here five minutes ago, you would have seen me while I was still on fire." Then, after coming home from the hospital, you will have a small pond. Not to mention a lot of broken windows and deaf cattle.

That is the only what that I could see that ammonia nitrate could help you dig a pond.

Neat trick Bruce. The only thing I recall going round and round were the sweeper nozzles and maybe the boiled YP. :p

I recall the post recently by Al ( see pg 7 this thread) with the link to the spanish jumping fish clip and someones reference to copperheadedrattlemoccasin and best of all " Global warming and the Pirates of the Carrib." Theo's longhaired and new fish specie posts were classic. We should start a PB posts hall of Fame/shame.

You know about the ammonia nitrate thing you remind me of something that really happened. My dad was in a U.S. Army engineering battalion back in the 50's and he was in charge of blowing up ice jams on the Rhine River in Germany. I guess he got a little carried away one day and blew out windows for miles! \:D

ewest is right....I don't how many of these bloopers and pond'isms are out there, but the few highlites listed here had me crackin' up good. They need to be collected. I still laff out loud when I think about Theo's dramatic discovery of strange new fish species....the Golden Shriner is a fav! PB News, Christmas Edition by Theo

(I really thought this was the Bill Duggan thread when I opened it. \:o )

Your welcome, Bruce, and thanks to you and everyone else for all of your posts.

Oh, by the way, don't forget to put the neckbolts in when you assemble this year's Frankenfish. :p

I'm terribly sorry I didn't comment, Bruce, just as I am terribly proud to have coined the term "Po'Boy RAS" and then have you use it at WiperCentral. \:\)

"Po'Boy RAS", by the way, is a registered trademark owned by Von Trapp Family Idiots Ltd., a division of Gallus Inc. Our lawyers will be contacting your lawyers. :p \:D :p

Remember "Animals" ?, He did kinda get picked on, but I had to laugh.

Ok i will stay.But i think i have changed my mind and i am starting to show chickens and i could still take help so maybe when i get to wanting to get one.I will stay here and post.Thanks for all ya'lls help.Thanks.

Animals
Ok im done here.Oh yes i do like chickens and yes that is my hobby and i think chickens are fun.oh and to you who badmouthed chickens this is no joke.I am login off so BYE.

--------------------
Animals
Goodby, Animals. Perhaps you can visit again later and, hopefully, you will bring a semblance of a sense of humor with you.
Actually, you would probably have gotten little help with chickens on this site. In fact, all I know about chickens is that some dogs like them. Strangely, I learned this from a ten year old boy who told me "I had a chicken oncet but the dog et it."
