: : WELL! This whole thread has certainly been an eye-opener - and to think it all started with a plug for "Precaution", which, incidentally, has NOTHING to do with Hawkeye, Natty Bumppo, loincloths, or any other heart-palpitating issues that Miss Marcia and I spend our time fanning ourselves over!
: >>True, but don't forget, you DID make that one simply dreadful statement that "compared to Precaution, the Leatherstocking Tales had NOTHING to offer"...that's how Hawkeye got dragged into this. As his NUMBER ONE fan, I simply had to take exception to that claim, even though I know full well that YOU, of all people, appreciate Hawkeye fully. It was just a line I couldn't ignore.
Well, now Miss Marcia, that statement o' mine has never been rightly understood, no it hasn't. What I MEANT was that in terms of pure licentiousness, the plot and characters of "Precaution" would have all the advertisers lined up at the door for prime time, while "The Leatherstocking Tales" tend to come across as a mite tame for today's TV audience. Know what I mean?
As to Hawkeye, in his rightful place, he is without peer, be he DDL or Natty - so you see, you and I really do agree on everything in the world, and I think it would be counterproductive to practice your World Famous DownHome HeadLock, since She knows the valie o' bear grease and a tidy little scalplock in sich sitchawations.
