Several years ago, Larry Root threatened to come to the Quemado gathering with around a dozen of his "biker buddies". I extended an invite - and he never showed. At the last Sierra Vista shindig, crossfireoops asked me why I didn't use a "handle" - I replied, "Greg, I've done a lot of business over the phone, or by handshake. If anyone wants to find me, God forbid they couldn't. I'm listed in the phone book, and well known around my area. I can be found - for better or worse. I'm here, and will give ANYBODY my address." Hope they truly want to meet me.

You are insane for using your real name on a forum.
Mark, you are right - I remember that stupid threat and, actually, was looking forward to Root and his rooters showing up at Armijo Springs. What an entertaining scene that would have been. Such a disappointment.
Following word tussles here, two or or three others threatened and said they were coming - gave them my coordinates. No show - internet bullies never show up. Good thing now - I got old.
That one of my favorite parts of my favorite movie.
No one ever gets the reference.
Name something that floats.

None...but I'd imagine there's plenty....especially when I post a photo of a buck I killed few years back.....it just agitates the s hit out of a few guys and I enjoy giving them the red ass!!
Grand Pap always told me not to worry about the guy who brayed about what he was going to do, the one to watch was the sneaky fugger you pissed off and who shut up and slipped around behind you and drove the knife in flat between the ribs and twisted it.
Less talk more action kind of thingie.

Larry sent me a PM and threatened to shoot me. Said he could do it from 2000 yards. Called it a chip shot… I just laughed and asked him about a couple of restaurants in Pinedale. Never heard from him after that.
