Summary of Into the Twilight Endlessly Grousing

When I think of all the times a Stupidity Alarm could have saved me from committing a Stupidity ... Here's one instance that comes to mind.
My children: "Daddy, please buy us a horse! Please, please, please, please!"
Me: "Well, kids, I guess a horse wouldn't be all that much trouble."
Stupidity Alarm: WHOOOOP! WHOOOOP! WHOOOOP!
The cowboy who sold me the horse said it loved children. That was true. But as I belatedly discovered, it hated adults.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution says it all: "Describing Patrick McManus as an outdoor humorist is like saying Mark Twain wrote books about small boys." And if you don't believe them, McManus' millions of fans certainly can't be wrong.

Like Twain -- or more contemporary humorists Dave Barry or Garrison Keillor -- McManus shares the belief that life's eternal verities exist primarily to be overturned. In McManus' world, all steaks should be chicken-fried, strong coffee should be drunk by the light of a campfire, and fishing trips should consist of men acting like boys and boys behaving like the small animals we've always assumed they were.

Into The Twilight, Endlessly Grousing is McManus' 10th collection of hilarious adventures, wry observations, and curmudgeonly calls for bigger and bigger fish stories (don't even think about calling them lies). This time around, the renowned columnist takes on everything from cereal crimes, Idaho style, to a man's undying love for a good fly rod.

As always, McManus offers his own brand of philosophical insight along the way. A prime example -- his belief that ignorance is the bond that hold friendships together. And he gives us the examples to prove it. So no matter what you're after, it's all here in McManus' funniest and most far-reaching story collection yet.
