Real Ponies Don't Go Oink!

Best-selling outdoor humorist McManus ( The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw) bags another in this collection of yarns featuring irascible woodsman Rancid Crabtree, "Phantom of the Woods" Retch Sweeney, boyhood pal Crazy Eddie, and others of McManus's acquaintance. Also meet hunting dog Strange, dog delinquent, whose prey of choice is year-old roadkill. Readers of McManus's humor column in Outdoor Life will enjoy his observations on the joys of pig-back riding, workshop puttering, and Sasquatch ducking. So will those who, like McManus's wife Bun, appreciate nature most from the window of a seven-story luxury hotel.Contents:Controlling My LifeStrange Meets Matilda JeanTough Guys Don't BirdA Good Deed Goes WrongThe Fishing BoxSocial SkillsThe ClownA Good Night's SleepA Brief History of Giving (1942-89)Pouring My OwnTeenagers From HellSecret PlacesPutteringSearch and - Uh - RescueThe BustReal Ponies Don't Go Oink!Blood SausageCrash Dive!My Abduction by Creatures From Space, for What It's WorthPhantom of the WoodsThe Piano LessonZumbo and the Misty Mountain GhostsThe Road HunterWhy Is It?The Late Great FourthCamping In
