I was perusing one of my favorite web haunts when I see (in reference to some fishy pics of a supposedly giant boar - NOT Hogzilla - killed in Louisiana), when I see THIS!!!:

"One of the pond websites I hit call this the Condello technique. Hold the fish close to your body and it gives your eyes a comparison to work with, next, extend your arm straight toward the camera and the same fish looks several pounds heavier."

Don't believe me, eh? Go to Iowa Outdoors!

Being on forum like that wouldn't make him world famous, but just famous in Iowa, and that isn't much to be excited about. About as exciting as being famous in Idaho.

Now wait just a minute! You can't equate being famous in IOWA with being famous in Idaho...it ain't even close!

Although Iowa may not be the center of the known universe, it's closer than IDAHO! Either way...news of HIM is spreading. Will all you PB'ers just stand by and watch it happen???

I'll give you a few minutes to reconsider there BB. You know I can bench press over 1,000 lbs. (although I choose not to).

Your commoent prompted me to google "Bruce Condello" and "Bobad".

10 hits out of 10 for Bruce. (didn't even look on page 2 and above)

Bobad, 4 hits out of 10 were me.

I got spanked. \:\(

It appears that whatever Brucg goes after, he goes after it 100%.

Should have been "Holy."

There was a girl in college named Holly. She was hot.

Let me just say that I lived in Idaho from birth to 6 mos. old. Of course, this qualifies Idaho to be a great state above other states.

Other states that have been graced with my residency thus qualifying them to be great are Tennessee and Pennsylvania.

Now my brother was born in College Station, TX, but that doesn't qualify Texas for anything. Sorry guys.

Damn...I google my name, and there's lot of "stuff"...none of it related to me.

Google my WHOLE name and the ONLY thing that comes up is this kid on Indiana's most wanted list...guess I'm not that famous...unlike IOWA...

...and why he's world famous....

The "other" Bruce Condellos are probably upset with their parents right now. Hard name with which to compete.

I'm sorry. That will follow him around like a 3-week dead, maggot-infested albatross.
