Huddleston Pond

Who pulled the plug?? With all this rain you think the dock of the pond would be at least touching the water....why is this not filling up??
When the pond has water in it again it's going to look great. But, its really discouraging to pass by and not see it filling up. Is there a problem? Its been years now....yes...literally years!

With a name like "Hoppette" and an interest in ponds....

Are you a frog?

I giggled over the same thing, scrolled down and saw that you had beaten me to the punch.

Only I was going to ask if she was any relation to Kermit.

This is your fault.

You see, the Hopper and the Hoppess died in the drought, but the Hoppette
survived. The pond is meaningful to her!
The snakes in the grass (not lawyers) are also a continued threat to little hoppettes. They eat them.
It has been raining "hoppettes" lately, so maybe the pond when full will support all of them for the snakes delight!
After all, we eat the cows and pigs and sheep, and goats, and horses (French do), and monkeys and apes, in Africa, (our relatives,) dogs and cats, and snakes (Asians do).
So, if a snake wants a little hoppette, so what?

More than us need the ponds!

I, for one, will not sit idly by and watch the friends and family members of hoppette get devoured by snakes. After all, hoppettes are so much more valuable to us humans than snakes are. They sing and dance (when no one is looking) and their legs are edible once we've gotten tired of hearing "Hello my baby," for the millionth time. What have snakes ever done for us aside from talking some bimbo into eating an apple and damning the human race for all eternity?
Therefore, I propose we organize a Simpsonsesque "Snake Whacking Day". I'm dusting off my Louisville Slugger and heading over to Huddleston pond.

...And Adam said unto God, "What can I get for a rib?"

Perhaps we can stock the pond with some gators. It would take care of any rampant stray animal population, and we could gator tail occassionally. Don't get me wrong, I love animalls...They're delicious. MMMMM, Nummy Nummy!

when there are so many snakes-in-the-grass, on this site, that are in dire need of some of that "whacking"? "I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything"(B. Simpson(or any number of today's generation)

Will that be patterned after Weasel Stomping Day?

It might be something like the baby seal head-thumping day in the Arctic!
Isn't there something made from their fur for those fancy women?
I don't know any use for snakes, except as a sub for leather.

Yes, but all the authorities say that, in order to adhere to tradition, clubs must be made from the tusks of endangered elephants.

Nothing makes a better bashing club than a limb with a knot from an Ash tree!
The MLB bunch tried Maple, but they shatter like eggs!
73 fans and several ball players have been stabbed and mesmerized by flying maple bats recently.

However we must improve the game either by: raising the pitching mound again; allowing more narrow bats at the handle; corking; wearing sandpaper gloves; hopping up the balls; inventing more and more undetectable steroids; allowing pitchers to juice up their arms just long enough to last 5-6 innings at most so that they can overthrow but just for a few years before the first of the "Tommy Johns!" Helps to have the same amount of pitchers as you do position players, also. 12-13 pitchers or 13 or 12 position players.
Allow some clubs to spend a quarter BILLION on players and others 80 million!
Bats from those endangered elephant tusks could just break Bonds home run record!

Yes, I said Ash--not a..!
