Hey, Shad, welcome to the Pond. There is always a vacant lily pad next to mine. Be sure to dry it off before climbing onboard.

I’m with the chickens on this one, ponds, they are dangerous places.
I mean apart from the risk of drowning; (can someone point me to the shallow end please because I don’t swim well) you often can’t see what’s under the water. There could be alligators in here. What about snakes? Does anyone check?

I’ll just sit on the edge here with my trouser legs rolled up and maybe dip a couple of toes in the water if it’s not too cold. After all, I am British you know.

No alligators, but there is an Anaconda. I'm not certain whether or not he has returned from his summer in Massachusetts, but the Pond heater has been turned on for him.

As it happens (reaches into his rucksack for a thermos flask) I did.
Italian coffee! Help yourself. Be warned, you could stand a spoon in it.

Don't worry about the gators. . they have plenty to eat down there. The python is pretty gentle, it's just those pesky monkeys you gotta worry about.

The beavers didn't think that the python/anaconda was gentle. It is a python - not an anaconda. Forgot that we did a DNA on the shed skin.

Sometimes the Princess is just not fair. I told her that I had just welcomed someone to BYC who has 58 nine week old chickens in their living room. I then paced off the living room rug and told her that I was going to build a pen and raise just 10 chickens in our living room. She never said a thing - just held up her hand and made a 0 with her thumb and forefinger. That's just not right.

That sounds like the OK sign to me. Do it quick, then play the Misunderstanding Card.
