44 - A Fine and Pleasant Misery

A Fine and Pleasant Misery by Patrick McManus is a favorite from Tom's youth. Together with his best friends at the time, Tom lived many of the adventures that McManus so comedically recounts. Meet such memorable characters as old man and professional idler Rancid Crabtree; visit Grogan's military surplus store, where items with genuine jungle rot and bullet holes cost extra; learn the difference between a crick and a creek, and the proper techniques for fishing in each; and above all, get insights on how to proceed when a mean-tempered cow stands between you and the best fishing spots.
