America's most hilarious sportsman returns with this collection of insights about youth, the great outdoors, and the philosophy of fileting fish. When bestselling author Patrick McManus looks at a subject, you're sure to come away with an outrageously new perspective.
In "Muldoon in Love" McManus examines how third-grade crushes can have a disastrous effect on show-and-tell. In "The Big Fix" he explores the insidious relationship between women and flat tires. In "What's in a Name, Moonbeam?" he welcomes into the world a new grandchi ... er ... a new small relative.
"McManus captures the innocence most of us lose when we become grown-up."—Booklist

      Fans of McManus (The Grasshopper Trap will welcome these 27 little excursions into the life of the narrator "Pat,'' the author's alter ego. His humor is directed at fishermen, hunters, campers, gun-swappers, little boys and willful weather. All but the last two are recognizable. Deliberately ``simple,'' the humor is always good-natured: the worst character is a prissy, visiting auntand she turns out to be a nice person in the end. The settings are all in the West, often in Pat's boyhood town of Delmore Blight, Idaho. Boyish pranks and adult foolishness get the mostattention, with the usual cast of McManus characters: Retch Sweeney, Rancid Crabtree, wife Bun et al. Among the best pieces are ``Angler's Dictionary'' (``Best fishing timeYesterday or last week. Worst fishing timeNow.'') and ``Advanced Duck-Hunting Techniques'' (see the Toilet Tissue ploy). It's good, clean, old-fashioned fun.
