Okay, enough of this!! We all have to come to terms here. I happen to know that the person we "think" we know as Larry Brown, the writer, is actually a stooped over, shriveled up little old lady by the name of Modene Gunch who once worked for the real Larry Brown who has been deceased for quite some time now. Modene, a.k.a., Larry, was so taken with the illustrious Mr. Brown (rumor has it that a love affair was secretly working there) that she has continued to write under the pseudonym Larry Brown. Therefore, due to her extended age and obvious frailty (the bravado in her writing is taken straight from a CIA Thesaurus on How To Sound Tough), we should all just let this die and let Modene / Larry continue to add her/his snippets of information that have brought such joy to them (RIP Larry) over the years. In order to settle this matter once and for all, if Larry (Modene) will be so kind as to send ME a copy of his/her latest narrative on pheasant hunting, etc (poor soul wouldn't know a pheasant from a parakeet!!), FREE of charge of course, I will be glad to read it and set the record straight regarding its readability and accuracy. (Modene, please don't forget to put the real Larry's rubber stamped signature and a short note to..., let's just say, "...To Perry, the greatest pheasant hunter ever...." etc, etc. You don't have to go into any dialogue on my wonderful silver head of hair and how I can't possibly be the 58 years old that I am rumored to be)
Whaddayasay guys?! Shall we kill this one.
Hey, I just couldn't resist it. (Larry, please be civil in the reply that I know is coming)

Perry, You're light touch has brightened my day immeasurably. While I don't know Ms. Modene Gunch (aka Larry B.)personally, I will make it a point of purchasing "her" book on big game parakeet hunting in the midwest. Perhaps Ms. M would post here how the book written under the pen name of Larry Brown can be purchased...hope it's on-line. Thanks again.

Jake, Capt. Woodrow Call was the Texas Ranger (Tommy Lee Jones) who partnered with Gus McCrae (Robert Duvall) in Lonesome Dove.
The actual quote is: "I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it".
My signature tag was a paraphrase, but it is a sentiment I believe in, so I changed it to be accurate...as is fitting with the sensibilities of this forum.

Joe, you're a stitch. Marc, I've spectated some of the Brown/Maloney one-on-one matchups (the XXV thread was a good example). They're just sparring. Tedious as their quotidien quotational quibbles may be, both know where the line is and if they appear to cross it occasionally with each other, they certainly haven't with me. I don't know Larry or Jack; don't know Robert. I know my own tolerance level for both evil-doing and excuses and we're all getting a pretty good sense of Dave W's recently. His playpen; his rules. I'm glad he stopped saying "Don't make me come down there!" and knocked some heads together. Eventually, we'll get a pretty good idea of which ones deserved it.

I've never seen eye-to-eye with Larry Brown on ANYTHING, but to lump him in - is a big mistake.

Folks- Larry and I have offically "burried the hatchet" and things are back to where they were a week ago; i.e. I think so much of him that I buy his books and track down old articles he has written. I do this so I can hopefully glean a little from his vast experience of chasing wild roosters! As I told Larry, he literally knows more about chasing pheasants that it is physically possible for me to learn during the remainder of my life. Heck, everyone has a misunderstanding every now and then, myslef inlcuded. As an added bonus, I always remember the fact that he is married to a read headed woman! Anyone who has read my posts on this board over the past 10 1/2 years knows that means he has excellent taste in my book!!! Please just let this thread end with this post. Let's get back to talking about doubles and hunting.

Perry, that's funny! But I wish you'd made it maybe Diana Rigg (I'm dating both of us there) who'd worked for the deceased Larry Brown.

Yes Larry, it would be better to picture Mrs. Peel doing your writing, :-) JC
