Yeah, but wait till you get one in the left nostril. I expected adman to mention the slimy catfish he dragged out of that pond but maybe, like me, he was waiting for the second part to Dave's joke. Now that we know there's not a second part we can all get back to more important things, like um, I was mopping the kitchen floor, need to go check on that laundry...

As for pond algae, I wish I could eat it. I would like to eat it raw but I think I would cook anything that came out of this pond. Or maybe it's not even algae I'm talking about but waterthread pondweed or brittle naiad or eurasian watermilfoil. Yesterday I made a half hearted attempt to clean some of it out, thought I might be able to rake a good bit of it to the banks, pitchfork it into the utility vehicle, talk about stupid jokes.
