-- Start of eye-straining note --
10th July 2003
To whom it may concern:
If you are reading this then I can only assume that you have removed the pond under which this note was buried.
Of course, as I am not around at the moment, I am not in a position to comment on why you may have chosen to remove the pond and, it is fair to say, that there could be any number of reasons for doing so. I will not try to list those potential reasons right now but there could be quite a lot of them. One of the more bizarre reasons could be that the removal of the pond was the direct result of a bite on the ankle from a Wildebeest, but I shall not speculate.
Anyways, I would like you to be aware that the digging of this pond and it's subsequent filling with water and stocking with fish and aquatic plants took a considerable amount of personal effort. It's not just the digging of the hole you know (although clearly that is a major part), but also the consideration that had to be given to the sitting of the pond, its shape and size, its location close to a convenient electrical supply, etc etc etc.
I have to admit that I am a bit miffed about all this. You have just destroyed (yes, I know its a strong word to use but there are principles involved here) something that took me a long time to do. If I came along and destroyed something that it had taken a long time for you to do then I think you would be a bit miffed as well, so just think on that.
Enough of this. Just get on with what it is you think you are doing, you snivelling pond destroyer.
Oh, and by the way, I hope your head falls off.
-- End of eye-straining note --
I gave up my eyes for you people. I hope you are pleased. - ra1ndr0p, on 06/05/2008, -62/+240Oh hai!
Thanks for resubmitting my story... for the third time... ;)

We were owned. :( - alanocu, on 06/05/2008, -1/+138very grateful - thank you
- staffell, on 06/05/2008, -1/+99wow, I wish people did this with everything they do, so future generations can discover them
- WallnutBoy, on 06/05/2008, -3/+93How did you find the 'Save Reply' button if you gave up your eyes?
I'm suspicious of you, Nightwatch.. -_- - plainOldFool, on 06/05/2008, -1/+76Thanks. I was about to say "There's no words on it! ***** thing Sucks!" The someone else would have dropped some more overplayed meme and we all would have gotten a chuckle out of it. But you had to do the considerate thing.
- Sornos, on 06/05/2008, -59/+121It is not your story. You submitted this story, and you have failed to get it to the front page. You do not own this story, and since your submission will never get to the front page, I will digg this one.
- beepu92, on 06/05/2008, -2/+53That would make destroying the pond so much more fulfilling and enjoyable.
- jonasblue, on 06/05/2008, -0/+51Thanks. I wish I would've read the comments before giving myself a headache.
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -25/+75Spoken like a true MrBabyMan-bitch.
- ra1ndr0p, on 06/06/2008, -1/+45Sorry sweetheart, but it is my story - thatcanadiangirl.co.uk is my blog.
Thanks for all the traffic by the way! ;) - KGtheway2B, on 06/05/2008, -1/+43"Hi, you just dug through a septic tank. Hope you have a good day."
- doctechnical, on 06/06/2008, -1/+42The current owner doesn't want his kids drowning in it. Go figure.
- Llanowar, on 06/06/2008, -0/+32Not pleased till you speak it out loud, record it and upload it for our pleasure, so we don´t have to read anything.
- doctechnical, on 06/06/2008, -0/+32IT'S THE KILLING JOKE! DO NOT READ!
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -2/+34WE'LL DO IT LIVE!
- weazal, on 06/06/2008, -3/+34whingy?
- macabaret, on 06/06/2008, -2/+32Thanks for posting this, and for giving Sornos what is perhaps the best smackdown I've ever seen on Digg.
- staffell, on 06/05/2008, -7/+34could have just gone here:

- inactive, on 06/05/2008, -1/+21WOW, REALLY COOL! I NEVER SAW THAT BEFORE!
- HayString, on 06/06/2008, -1/+19http://www.thefreedictionary.com/whingy
- doctechnical, on 06/06/2008, -1/+19I understand what you're saying, but (perhaps not in this particular case) don't you think there's merit in idea that the aesthetic or artistic value of something can override the rules of ownership?
To an extreme case, let's say I bought the statue "David". Do I really have a right to destroy it, thus depriving the world of it?
Just something to think about. - D3koy, on 06/06/2008, -1/+19I always hide stuff like this under permanent fixtures as I install them. I assume this is a small coi pond in a back yard, and not a real big pond.
- Evazan21, on 06/06/2008, -0/+18They are British.
- KGtheway2B, on 06/05/2008, -0/+18I thought the holes in the paper were stuff on my monitor... had to touch them to make sure
- michaelb1, on 06/06/2008, -0/+17I wish I saw your comment before I broke my eyes reading that blurry jpeg.
- M1N3R, on 06/06/2008, -2/+19its got a douglas adams feel i think,like the cheetah guarding the basement with no stairs
- doctechnical, on 06/06/2008, -2/+19Then why are you reading Digg?
- deathcannon, on 06/06/2008, -2/+18Is man not entitled TO THE SWEAT OF HIS BROW?!
- staffa, on 06/06/2008, -0/+16You snivelling pond destroyer.
- bravo1995, on 06/06/2008, -1/+16I guess it's just me then...

WTF are we whiny? guess we are - Elissar, on 06/06/2008, -2/+16I'm still waiting for the post about the other 'gift' the guy left under the bedroom floorboards.
- tunafizzle, on 06/05/2008, -1/+15I'll do it. I'm much more childish than you obviously.
- orenshk, on 06/06/2008, -3/+16And what? see the exact same thing?
- pr1me4, on 06/06/2008, -2/+14"Man, wouldn't this be funny to make up, if only for temporary anonymous internet fame"
- no one - jasdf, on 06/06/2008, -0/+11I hate how often Flickr submits to the digg effect.
- reknaps, on 06/06/2008, -1/+12I buried a mason jar with some of my toys and a note in it when I was like 12. Im now 28 and I'd love to go back to that old house and see if its still there.
- MrDoug, on 06/06/2008, -1/+11I did that with my kitchen in my first house. I took all kinds of before/after pics...put them on a CD and placed it behind the last cabinet we hung. I got a call a few years later from the owners. They found it after the house burned down!
- bravo1995, on 06/05/2008, -0/+10Inappropriate. Nice try, though.
- Baylow, on 06/06/2008, -3/+13I dugg you both up, because i'm a great guy
- ezran, on 06/06/2008, -1/+10It shows your begging capability :)
Boy, it's tough out there in digg!! - Soave, on 06/06/2008, -0/+9"Simon discovered this laminated letter at the bottom of his pond."
