Congrats Bondo. Those that I have read have been short, sweet, and spot on the point. I may hit 2000 posts/replies in my first year here. Very doubtful I'll live the 33 more years needed to catch up.

65,000 "Ayah"s. Somehow Bondo slipped up on number 65,000 with 65,001 posts now. :facepalm:

Is a timeout called for? We got rules, ya know! :D

Not sure the Ayuh to post count is 1:1, however close. If I had to guess, I would go with about 55,000 Ayuh's in the 65001 posts

Congratulations, Bondo!

All your input here is appreciated by me, and I'm sure many others. So, toot away IMHO...

BTW, I thought of you while hearing new stories again of lake levels going up again - I think you're the one to figure out how to protect your property in a practical manner

Guess the number of Bondo "AYUH" contest! If the geeks could tally 'em up, and we could do a best guess contest ...

... first prize would HAVE to be a tube of "Anygrease." :D

Congratulations Bondo. Great to have you around.

the tally should be easy to query the database.

Google says 17300 results

Bondo, you always seem to have helpful info for boaters. Congratulations on the 65000 (and 1), and I will never have that many posts (and not going to try either), and the ones I presently have usually don't make much sense anyway. :facepalm:

I always wondered where you got the handle Bondo?

Ayuh,...... I'm glad ya spelled it right in the edit of my post, even if ya misspelt it in yer post,..... :D

I know the number of times I've typed Ayuh is well short of my post count, as I'm thinkin' I had several thousand posts before my Sis sent me a Maineiac Christmas card that inspired me to adopt it as a tag line,.......
Though I think I've typed "Welcome Aboard" damn near as many times,....

On a side note, I've been banned from postin' comments in the local newspaper's on-line edition, because the flamin' progressive mod, claims Ayuh is Racist,..... :rolleyes:
Of course, I know it's really because I lean pretty hard to the right, 'n as dav said, My posts are "short, sweet, and spot on the point."
The fact that I'm still a single digit typist keeps my posts short, 'n to the point,.....

... first prize would HAVE to be a tube of "Anygrease." :D

Ya know, it's guys such as yerself that have made me who I am here,..... ;)

Xtraham gave me my avatar years ago,.....

Don Sindledecker did the 1st photo-shop of Bondo's Any Grease,.....

You built my signature,.....

'n for the life of me, I can't remember the name of the guy from Portland or Seattle that I stole the "Welcome Aboard" from,....
He's been gone pretty much since politics was banned here in Dockside, years ago,....
We were pretty good friends, 'n I donno whether it was me usin' the "Welcome Aboard" all the time, or callin' his man-bag a purse, but he kinda just disappeared,....

Ayuh,..... Back in junior high, some of my Buds called me BBond,.....

Other's called me Bondo,.....

Bondo stuck,.....

Most of my Best friends still call me Bondo, rather than Bill,.....

It was a name provided for him when he retired from MI6. That way you don't figure out his real name from the spy days.

Ayuh,..... Back when I was truckin' all over the country, everyday when I bought fuel with an advance check, the cashier(usually a Gal) at the fuel desks always asked if I was related to James Bond,......

At that point, I'd say,... "Oh, you know my cousin, James Bond, 007, Licenced to kill",..??
Then I'd whip out my SS card, show the 1st 3 digits to 'em, 'n say, "Ya, I'm Bond, Bill Bond, 006, Licenced to Thrill",.....
Used the same joke, just today with the Gal at the hardware store,....

If I ever get around to mountin' my Merc 150 hp tower of power on my ole Glastron Jet-Flite, that's gonna be the boat's name,.......
006, Licenced to Thrill"
