Well I guess it would help if I attach the pic....sorry still out of it from the weekend.....
Here is Anand with some of the discus chicks in the boy's room

A pic of Andre, he was one of the many that went home with some nice discus from the room

Here is a pic of one of the two tables filled with the show awards

And here is table number 2

The Boy's .....Danny, Hans, Cary and Joe...if you have seen a pic of the tee shirt you will understand the pose

Cary giving one of his serious talks ;D ;D

Cary and his son Jack getting one of his 3 awards

You had to be there to understand this pic ;D ;D

Cary and MY better half Tracey

Cary and errr...uhh....ME ;D ;D

Whats a party without dancing

And more dancing....note the palm tree in the room.....HA HA you have not seen anything yet

Danny placing a beer order

Dick(the judge) Joe and Cary......many years of experence in this pic............

There they are folks....55 tanks filled with discus

There was more than just discus at the show...This was a nice fish. I think it placed in its class....about 20 angels in that class

Standing room only most of the time in the room

NOOOOOOO winning best in class wont go to Cary's head...I'm glad I got my discus before he won ;D ;D

Here is a group shot that was made for Jack. He wanted to be there but as everyone knows he is in Iraq....so this is what we did for him

Heck it says I have to rename the pic....ok I will come back to that one later

Well it told me the same thing again...I will call it a night and try to rename the pics tomorrow and post some more.......Randy 8)

Just to let every one know, the party in the room Saturday nite was a luau theme....got to love that set of coconuts

April I have most of my pics burned onto a disc because they were loaded onto my lap top from my camera while we were in Cinci....So I am posting them here on my destop PC from my E drive so I cant change the names until I down load them on to my C drive.....I will post the one that will let me first and then download and change the names on the ones that wont let me post..
So everyone give me a few....
Randy

Discus Hans and a few of the Discus chicks

me doing water changes in the show room...I only had 3 discus in the show but somehow got talked into doing them all.....twice

Mench just chillin...gotta love the hat

[Ryan]

LOL John, is that the same dress from a few years ago? I could always post the original picture for comparison :-P And Willie, you're absolutely beautiful! Now everytime I see one of your posts, I'll have a mental image of you in your coconuts and start chuckling to myself.

Thanks for the pics, Randy :) Keep 'em coming.

Ryan

PS - The one of Cary in your lap is funny... we joked with you and Tracey in chat about how tall you were, but I see it was true. :P

another of Mench showing off one of his shirts...I think he wore about 15 different shirts over 4 days ;D ;D

Ok everyone I am just bouncing around trying to find pics that Simply will let me post so if I happen to double post a pic you will understand

Here is a pic of Sue, or for those that dont know her...should I say Mrs Cary strong

Here is a pic of Joe and the discus chicks

OK I give up the last 4 pics I tried to post says I have to change the name to post it....I will rename all of them first thing in the morning so I can post them here...I still have some of the better ones still on my laptop and I will get them posted tomorrow...I will work of the 2 pics we made for Jack and see if I can get them post in a few minutes..the rest will have to wait

OK I jumped on the lap top to get this pic...
For those that don't know Jack....Discus KC...he has been over in Iraq for the last several months protecting us....He wanted to come home so bad so he could come to the ACA..
Well we thought if he could not make it to us we would come to him....so here is a group shot of some of us at the ACA

man wrong pic....let me try again

Here is the pic of the shirt that will be given to Jack on his return to the States....We though we would all sign it to show him the thanks that we all want to give to him for his service to America

[BlueTurquoise]

Great documentary journalism there Randy! top bit of work, camera and commentary wise! I am sure it didn't beat actually being there I am sure!

I don't know what I like better, the fish, Mench's shirts or the Discus Chicks! ;D

Thanks for sharing! :)

[April]

I think John and mench and willie are to die for. lol.
and that pic for Jack and his shirt is great. He will be a happy boy.
great pics Randy. can we have a fashion show of Mench with all his shirts on?

[mench]

Pril.shirts are just shirts...the fish were the real stars of the show.
We REALLY NEED to start talking about just a discus show......With 55 entries I think we could do a show of our own and I would bet that we would get well over 100 fish.....Heck Joe and Cary could bring that many by them selves.
So come on all you organized people out there put you thinking caps on and lets see what we can come up with

Mench

[Willie]

Excuse me, April, but let's be clear about the difference between John, Mensch and I. I was the only one who waxed!!!

Willie ;)

[April]

LOL Willie. ok well can you teach John how to wax? think he needs it real bad.
and that stache has to go...next time. hes very lovely in turquoise...lol another tip for you John..never wear the same dress to a function twice. someone may have seen you in it before.
Willie...better change the colour of your coconut shells for next year. lol.
Mench..next year i want a fashion show . i'll bring my camera. just for Red. bring all your shirts.

[John_Nicholson]

Thanks April and Ryan and yes it is the same dress. It is the only one my wife owns that I can get into.......and besides I kind of like it.....LOL

As much as I like you April there will be no waxing for this country boy.....

-john

[fcdiscus]

Maybe we can join forces in Denver and Wax him! LOL, Frank-then you will know how the pigs feel.

[Discus_KC]

Don't make him squeal Frank !!!!!!!

LOL

[April]

HEE HEE!!!! ok now its worth it for me to go to Denver!!
John...i like you alot also..and you better be there next year in a new pink dress...and ready to be waxed!!
remember....i have "stuff" on you....so you better do as i say. lol. be there !!!!
:P
Jack...im depending on you to hold him down while Frank waxes. lol. I'll take my camera.
Just kidding John.. i know nothing. lol. had you scared there for a minute though eh?
