Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Diet Dew Addict Indenti-Fridge Contest

The Setup
We have recently seen not only testimonial to the cognitive, piscatorial, and cyano-luminescent enhancing powers of Diet Mountain Dew (DMD), but have also vicious, unwarranted attacks on it (Yes, I'm talking about YOU, Sunil!). We know from Horizontal Aeration that Pondmeisters such as Bob Lusk, Bruce Condello, and myself run on DMD. Lusk depends on it while flying back and forth across the country, from Texas to upstate New York (and beyond), holding down at least three jobs – Editor, Writer, Fisheries Biologist. Bruce utilizes DMD to allow him to complete hour-long dental procedures in under ten minutes, giving him time to surf the World-Wide Web (including this forum) in between patients and to fish 5 ½ days a week. I "need" my DMD to let me suffer through aerospace management BS ideas intermingled with actual engineering all day, then farm all night. (I am considering switching to direct IV application, if only to allow my green glowing teeth to revert to normal.)

The Contest
Correctly match the three refrigerators pictured below with the correct Pondmeister owner listed above (not Sunil).
Fridge #1:

Fridge #2:

Fridge #3:

Delve into this mystery with all the detective skills your intellect can muster! Leave none of the 256 million differently colored pixels unturned in the search for possible clues. Consider the size and location of the refrigerators in question. Are they electric, gas, or wind-powered? See barbeque sauce available only in San Antonio? Ancient citrus fruits covered in a mold found only in the Pacific Northwest? Locally produced cheese not sold outside of Wisconsin? A photo of me you recognize from the Post Office? All these and many more clues could be waiting for you in the photos to solve this caffeinated conundrum.

The Prize
The first entrant to provide the correct answer (or the most correct answer) wins a cube of 24 12-oz cans of DMD provided by yours truly. Contest ends at midnight on Saturday, January 28, 2006.

Who Can Enter?
Anyone can enter. Anyone at all. Anyone, that is, except for employees of Pepsi-Cola, Pond Boss Magazine, Jaeger Wald Farm, and Dr. Frankenbruce & Igor's Discount Dental Practice. Note that this disqualifies Bob and Bruce (and myself). I must also ask these two gentlemen to desist from posting any tidbits of wisdom which could give away the answers to the contest.

What Do I Do to Enter?
Just post your answer right here. Feel free to include the speculations, deductive reasoning, and full color where-are-my-pants, I'm-late-for-math class dreams which led you to your brilliant conclusion. WAGs are welcome and, considering the reportedly unstable nature of myself and Bruce (and possibly Bob Lusk – have you ever actually read the Publisher's Block in Pond Boss Magazine?), will probably be required.

No Purchase Necessary to Win
Although if I could, I'd require you to subscribe to Pond Boss Magazine. You SHOULD subscribe to Pond Boss Magazine. SUBSCRIBE TO POND BOSS MAGAZINE!!!

The Catch
("What, Theo put in a catch?" "Yep, here comes the meadow muffin.") I'm not delivering the DMD to the winner's address. You can stop in at Jaeger Wald Farm (PM or Email for info) to pick it up, OR have it personally delivered to you at a Midwest Regional PB Gathering, as originally proposed by Sunil (yes, I'm talking about YOU, Sunil!) before the idea was absconded and expanded upon by our Southern PB brothers and sisters. Come on, Dew Addicts and OH-PA-MI-IN-KY Pondmeisters, here's an incentive to not let the beer drinkers in Texas and Georgia have all the fun!

P.S. Sunil: If you win, I'll also give you a cat to drink the DMD for you.


P.P.S. Make sure she gets enough Dew, or else she turns into one mean pussy.

This is a hoax. The cat is from New Yawk City. I saw it on TV when they were showcasing Al Sharptons house.

Top picture Theo: His refrigerator has a compartment for "fruits". That would be important to a Ohio Yankee - down South we just go out and pick 'em off the tree (they don't warrent a special compartment in our 'frig). Also, as the prize he mentions the prize of a "Cube" which he is obviously familar with. Plus, whatever is in that white bag is probably yesterday's or tomorrow's lunch.
Middle picture Dr. Bruce: The "frig is sitting on a young kids play table (only one with young kids). He begging for our help with his "in your face " display of DMD.
Bottom picture Bob: FedEx box of homemade goodies from a satisfied customer in NYC. That chilled roll of toilet paper must be a Texas thing.

rmedgar, that's the kind of deductive reasoning I was hoping to see here! If it happens to be correct, it's even better.

Cold toilet paper WOULD come in handy (oooh, free pun!) down in Texas, what with all the red-hot chili they eat 3 meals a day.

The top picture is Condello - this can be evidenced by the spill of DMD that can be seen on the silver wear band on top of the fruits drawer; he was drunk on Jack and spilled a DMD in the fridge. Second, you can see the whole milk which is Condello's preferred drink between 7AM and 10AM due to his stomach ulcer(s) caused by DMD and Jack, mixed of course. No brown liquor before 10:30 AM now.

The middle picture is Lusk. He has the speed-grab set up as can be seen on the fridge door because he thinks he's a busy man. He has calculated that he saves 0.008 seconds each day via the speed-grab set-up (8 DMDs/day x 0.001 seconds saved each time). He is also in temp. living quarters hence the mini-fridge.

The bottom picure is Theo. He is desperately trying to switch to Diet A&W because he's scared
that the luminous nature of his teeth may be
permanent. Plus, he's too cheap to buy cans, hence the two-liter jugs.

Theo , Bob and Bruce top to bottom. just a WAG.

BTW DD I saw that cat on TV at Jessie Jackson's house

The top is Theo. It would take an Engineer to stuff that much crap in a refrigerator and still have room for some type of exotic Mineral water.

Middle is Bruce. His wife won't let him have junk like that in the house. It might change the kids stem cells or something. So, he bought a dorm style refrig to put in the area where he overwinters those wierd, glow in the dark, fish.

The bottom is Lusk. I see blue Gatorade or Powerade or something nasty tasting in the right side of the picture. Its only really needed in Texas, especially in the large size bottles. Also, I'm not sure they sell A & W Root Beer up North but they damn sure do down South. My son, my son, how often must I instruct you on your libations? If you keep on going like this I'll catch you drinking something that tells you to savor the bouquet. Repeat after me: Malt and hops, malt and hops, malt and hops.

This is what happens when I spend the weekend in town. I'm getting worried about myself.

DD :

I am with you that blue g-aid is nasty. Now A&W (not diet) is good in a frosty mug or almost frozen on a hot day.

Eric, almost frozen A & W is my favorite drink on a hot day before the sun goes down(somewhere).

Quit makin' fun of my cat

The top fridge is Bruce's (needs that much Dew to keep the whole family going)
The middle one is Bob's (Flying all over the world solving pond problems, he's the one who needs something in his fridge called "On The Go"
The bottom fridge is definately Theo's (the Fed Ex box contains his meds shipped in from Canada, obviously unopened)

BTW I saw that cat on MTV's Cribs

I would say #2 is Bruce's. Those can's are pretty straight and clean.
#3 I sould say is Bob's. Not much to eat in there, like the cat gets it all.
That leaves Theo with #1.

I saw that cat on "America's Most Wanted".

LOL You can tell that the furry feline has stolen the show!

My vote:

The first picture is Theo's. It is well known that above average IQ space rangers are cluttered. :p
The second picture belongs to Bruce. The cans are neat and organized (almost sterile in appearance), and he has to keep his supply at arms reach in order to map out strange aeration systems at a moments notice.
The third belongs to Bob. Note the abundant water supply needed to help fill in drought stricken Texas ponds.

The cat is a full time resident of Bruce's office. Note the glazed over expression and head tilt. Both are clear signs of her hanging out at the gas tank/mask too often.

Didn't I see that cat in a Pirate movie?

Oh, my gosh! You guys are too funny! There is no doubt that the northern pond bosses are going stir crazy.

Jimmy:

That is classic !!! ROFLOL I need to learn how to copy, edit and post other peoples pics.

Deb:

My college roommate frequently called me a space cadet. I am happy to have graduated to space ranger status!

Jimmy:

It is quite possible. She has made a fair number of movies, most of them Indian language "Bollywood" productions. Here is a still from her most recent movie:


There's a lot of makeup on, but you can tell it's her.

Theo you may be exploiting the cat's talent for your supplemental income, but I still say it is Condello's cat. I hacked his office computer and found two more photos.

This was taken when the cat was in obvious nitrous oxide DT's:


And this one was taken right after the cat had taken a good "hit" from the mask:



Sorry Dave, but Theo's/Bruce's furry friend does not belong to Al Sharpton. I believe however that this one does. The resemblance to her owner is rather scary.

Here's the triploid and the diploid version side by side for those of you considering stocking strategies.

......and here's one, right before it reverts back to a green sunfish.
