He has also received the Charles Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievements in the Field of Excellence.
Deservedly so, I might add.

Jeff -- THE highlight of the entire conference was when you stood up at the first mention of green sunfish and SALUTED!  Theo is pulling everyone's leg, but I'm too slow to fully understand the joke.

On the way to the lusk lodge we stopped at a convenience store. Bruce found a quality hat at an affordable price. The vibe he was putting out was incredible. It takes a real man to wear a pink hat and a baby blue shirt and yet he pulls it off. Unbelievable.  Right click..save as...

Jeff -- THE highlight of the entire conference was when you stood up at the first mention of green sunfish and SALUTED! I got a lot of responses related to that. Actually to set the record straight, I stood and saluted when the GSA logo was displayed during Bill Cody's slide show (twice). All GSA members are required to snap to attention and salute the revered GSA logo. I'm gonna have to have a heart to heart with Otto. Apparantely he didn't get my memo. Theo is pulling everyone's leg, but I'm too slow to fully understand the joke. Theo's reference is to a "Simpsons" character (the one that I included about). The character's favorite saying is "Excellent."

 You think Bruce put's out the vibe. FMB was looking so purdy in his fancy shirt and that Hai Karate cologne he was wearing suddenly I had the urge to plant one on his cheek. Brettski was able to maintain a sense of decorum but I know deep down he wanted some butter.

The animal vibe that Fatty was puttin' out was stronger than the car-magnet at White Castle at 2 in the morning. My restraint collapsed shortly after the pic...(edit; subsequent McButter experience deleted)

We finally got home about an hour ago. I can't even begin to compete with all that has been posted above. We sure had a great time at the conference. Not that the presentations weren't important, but meeting and re-meeting everyone, was by far the highlight of the conference. Our trip to Oklahoma was great too, but there are things in Oklahoma that want to bite people! (this little lady was in my son's air conditioner when I opened it up to do a minor repair)  (and . . . Oklahoma mud trout look a lot like WV mud trout)  Thanks to all for such a great time, Ken and Lynda G.

Was it Thurs. or Sat. night that the favorite shirt without an occasion was to be worn. Mr. Slim McMargarine does look rather dashing. On Saturday night, Sunil also looked Don Juanish in his retro metro-disco shirt. The makeshift bar kinda ruined the atmosphere. How can I camplain; I was a squatter from the poor side of the forage pond.

We enjoyed the detour. Sunil, not so much. I thought Sunil was gonna perform the Vulcan Death Grip on the Driver. I found out the hard way that Sunil knows this mysterious technique when someone tried to put a koozie on his beer. Sunil grabbed the guy and performed the Grip, he stopped just short of killing the guy, and dumped him behind one of the big plants in the lobby.
Word to the wise, don't mess with Sunil's beer...EVER.

I was disappointed in Bruces "fancy" shirts///loked more like he had been hauling hay all day...not getting a pedicure and doing his hair.. Okay, I wasn't going to bring this up, but Fatty broke the ice with the pedicure comment. I arrived at the Conference in Arlington as A Man on A Mission - to determine whether or not Bruce gets manicured. My wife was sure that he does (I try not to let myself wonder how or why she thinks that). So I gathered photographic evidence, a clear shot of Bruce and his hands:  Upon arriving back home, I showed her the above photo of Bruce and asked "Well? Does he get his hands manicured?" She studied that picture for several minutes, then answered "No. But he has had eyelash implants!"

Hmmmmmm, after studying the first photo I realized something. Bruce's forehead doesn't move no matter how much he smiles.
I'm thinking Botox, lots of Botox.

Those sure look like the hands of a skillful surgeon. Did anybody get photos of Dr. Condello and Cecil filleting and skinning fish in the 100+ degree sun -- about 45 seconds per fish?
