Greetings all! Am putting the finishing touches on a book about pond and lake construction. Collaborating with Mike Otto. The book needs a name.
So, who better to come to than this forum? We have some quick-witted thinkers here.
How about a catchy name for a pond/lake construction book?
The winner gets the first copy off the presses, signed (if you want it signed) along with a year's free subscription to the magazine.
Email me direct, if you wish. pondboss@texoma.net.
Winner will be announced as soon as we go through the mountain of emails (ha.)
Thanks, all.

"Toy Manufacturing for Big Boys" - actually, that was my wife's suggestion.

"Digging holes an planting fish."
"If you dig it (right), they will grow"
"Can you dig it?"
"Successful pond construction"

and
"It's more than a hole in the ground."

I'm surprised Nick Smith didn't call it... "Aw Shucks Officer, If You'd Have Been Here Ten Minutes Ago You'd Have Seen Me While I Was Still On Fire."

I'd give some deep multiple-level play on words catchy title such as: "Walking on Water: Engineering the perfect pond" Or you could sell out and give it a quasi-racy title like: "The Big Lake Erection Handbook" which might sell a few extra copies, but then you would probably have to deal with a few disgruntled purchasers who might demand refunds...Or maybe not...The disgruntled buyers might be to embarrassed to complain.

Couple of thoughts:
Your Own Slice of Heaven: Building the Perfect Pond
The Man's Aquarium: Building the Perfect Pond
Someone else had posted an idea like this for a Pond Boss bumper sticker or something like that:
"Befriend a fish, build a pond."
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
