Kudos to Ken Bondi

************************************************************* I thought I would sneak in a little happy note about what Ken Bondy does so well. He slides into the biome of fantastic tiny sea creatures and captures them (electronically) so people can be amazed by them for centuries to come -- he takes only the quick image, harming nothing, changing nothing, leaving nothing to guess he had been there. Now that's a noble calling.

Some of his creatures are rare and other-worldly. Some images of them in their natural state make me giddy in their fantasy -- just the thought of their strange (to us) sex changes, mating habits and rituals amaze us. Some can change their sex at will, some are parthanogenic, some mate with themselves.

At the risk of highjacking my own thread that reminds of many poker games when other players have suggested I do that. (usually after winning one hand in a row -- that happens when, with dealers choice, I get to play Night Chicago Lo Ball You roll Em).

But, I digress. A Nomad round of applause for a great guy, a sportsman of the deepest water (pun intended), Ken Bondy.

Hear, Hear?

or is it Here, Here?

I-ther way he is in a world unto himself, after SDM!

I'm not sure. I don't say that a lot.
Anyway...all that stuff Jorge is sayin' about changing sex and mateing with oneself is nothing new. Goat666 has been doing that for years. :biggrin:
Jes kiddin', Goat. I know you won't see this til later 'cause it's Sunday and you're probably at the landfill eating beer cans.
Bon Appetit.

Good work, Ken, I'm sure such records will prove more valued as time passes.

And I believe that's "Hear, hear" as in "hear what the man has to say" or something like that, I hear.

I too am giving my bro...by the way, it's Bondy with a Y....a standing ovation for his outstanding talent and sharing it with the world.

Ken Bondy - 10-2-2011 at 05:02 PM

Wow, this came right out of left field. I am overwhelmed, and truly grateful for the nice comments. Thanks to all of you and particularly you Jorge. Mil gracias,
++Ken++

Sorry for the spelling. Not a typo, not a spellcheck thing. I need Mindcheck-Automatico-Mexicano for 75 year olds.

What a fine discerning group of caring human beings! Perfect thread. (Except perhaps for poor Goat, who may in fact thrive on abuse) Ken, I'm permanently imprinted by having come WAY too close to the edge while under H20 to ever go where you go, so thank you so much for going where I won't, and letting me share.

Talk about sweet, now that was nicely put! Kudos.
