Title: A Great Brunner Story
Post by: Gene Wensel on March 17, 2007, 03:24:00 PM
I recently hunted with a guy who hunted with an outfitter who had taken out Paul Brunner two weeks previously. The outfitter showed him the exact tree Too Short hunted out of. He said you could see where the Dwarf had hung his Screaming Eagle about 16-18 feet off the ground. When he climbed up to hang his own stand, he counted peg holes in the tree. Get this....27 steps to get 17 feet up! The outfitter also told him that he carried a five gallon bucket in his truck and would throw the bucket down as a step stool every time Too Short had to climb on board!

I'm pretty sure Too Short is somewhere between three and four feet tall. I saw him on a nude beach one time but I didn't want to go anywhere near him with a tape measure with all those naked people standing around him....

Post by: 8th Dwarf on March 17, 2007, 04:07:00 PM
Fat man speak with forked tongue!  I always use THIRTY steps per tree!  

Also, Fat Man would never be allowed on a nude beach, because no one could prove he was nude.  That belly would hide everthing down to his knees!

You have to PROVE that you are nude when you go to the nude beaches I frequent.  
Your turn, Gene!

Too Short and TOO LONG!

I remember when Too Short had to cut six inches off the tops of his cowboy boots to cure a nasty rash on his thighs.
30 steps is quite a load when you consider the midget uses railroad spikes.

Paul fell out of a tree once and landed on his feet. He used to be over four feet tall before that incident.
If you go to the "Old Timer" thread (on page 40 or thereabouts on this site), you'll see a photo of me and Too Short with a big bear I shot many years ago on an elk hunt. The photo is proof positive that the Dwarf is the exact same size as my arrows....

Gene told a story at the PBS gethering in Salt lake. Tells of the time 2Short was huntin' Pronghorn on the flats of Wyoming. He was walking up on a nice buck when the buck spotted him. It was a staredown for several minutes then the goat got down on his knees to look eye to eye with the dwarf. Quick as a wink 2Short launched a shaft and anchored that buck before he could get up from his kneeling position.  Believe it or not.

Oh, by the way my truck was a lil' chevy s-10. God bless the lil' guy...he used to have to sprint just to keep up with us. His strides were very small...

Title: Re: A Great Brunner Story
Post by: Mark U on March 17, 2007, 11:51:00 PM
In defense of Paul, with his well known superstitions, he has to put in twice as many tree steps because he feels he just can't climb down on the same steps he climbed up on.  So he climbs up on 9 and down on a different 8, then makes the last two foot jump at his own peril.

And Gene, it's a well know fact that you exceed the weight limit on any commercially made tree steps, so you use individual tree stands as steps.  When you finally get to where you want to perch, the tree looks like the tower of Babble.

And Biggie will confirm this.

Too Short doesn't ever run....he "scurries." The only reason he is not over weight is that he has to take three steps for every one of normal men.

Gene,

I heard a story that Schaf held you upside down and shook money out of your pockets?!

Pete, does that mean when you and Schaf got Paul out of the bed of the S10 you only had to use one hand?

This thread is too much!  My wife wonders why I sit at the computer and laugh so much!

Too short must be lurking and stocking up on comebacks.

Paul will be getting even with all the short people jokes.  Just as soon as his wife lifts him up onto the chair, so he can reach the desk top and type.  I can see him now standing on the chair pulling the key board over to his chin and typing away.  Good thing he is near sighted!

Mr. Wensel on the other hand left MT, I guess he wanted flatter ground so he could roll to his treestand.  :saywhat:

Ray,

Not my theory , but if it was then I have to conclude   :help:   that maybe it's because Gene usally wears a hat outside, so the sun doesn't get through. Not saying anything but when I had my bariatric surgery the doctor told me that I would gain an inch for every ten pounds I lost, so see things do grow in the sun    :thumbsup:      :thumbsup:

Post by: 8th Dwarf on March 19, 2007, 12:46:00 PM
That's it!!!  5:30 in the morning and I wake up to see THIS?  The gauntlet has been thrown down!

Some years back, I went to a seamstress and had a dental mirror put into a leg wrap, complete with velcro for adjustment.  Sort of like a garter, if you get my drift.  I presented it to Gene on stage at the PBS gathering, in front of hundreds of people.  It was cool...  Gene hadn't seen his "Hydraulics" in years and he was now all set.  

I asked him a couple of years later what he had done with it and he said he had thrown it out.  THEN...I asked Donna about it.  Aha!  Seems he kept it and all the velcro is just about worn off.  

The cowboy boots...Again, another PBS convention and I went into the men's.  Urnals were full (and way too high, anyway), so I went into a stall.  I'm standing there kind of humming a tune and I hear this splattering sound, followed by insane giggling.  I look down and someone in the next stall is pissing on one of my $600 Paul Bond Ostrich boots!  

When I walked out of the men's room, there were around 600 pairs of eyes glued to my one dark boot (and pant leg) and my light boot.  Just remember, Gene...  "Revenge is a meal that must be eaten cold!"

Floating the Moose John River with Gene was a REAL education.  Now most of the stuff that happened on that trip are not presentable here, but, TRUST ME, this man (using that term losely) is whacked out most of a 24 hour day.  

I HAVE PHOTOS!!!!  First, there is Gene in a T shirt that only comes down to the fat roll above his navel.  It says, "I choked Linda Lovelace!"  Of course, it was my shirt and he borrowed it.  It never fit again.  Then there is the photo of the Brothers Wensel Sumo wrestling!  Both had their Jockeys pulled tight into their bun cracks...or maybe they are always like that.

These are old time regular photos, but when I get back to Montana, I'm going to have them scanned and see about putting them in this site somewhere.

More?  You bet, but I'm saving it for the next time I get in here.

Oh, yeah... Bob McMann was here and we went fishing together.  He's the guy who used to bring the Helle knives in to the country.  If he posts a photo of me with a sheep in a river, I was just helping the sheep get to shore.  It had been mired in the mud and instead of helping me free it, he took pictures.  Don't believe anything he tells you.  The sheep was way too tall for any of that to be true!

Too Short needs to tell us a few more facts. The tune he was humming in the urinal stall happened to be "I'm Singing In The Rain."
When he came out of the rest room, one boot was light tan and the other was a dark chocolate color. Priceless.....

I've heard the Mr. & Mr. Wensels have a new fitness workout video.
They say it's to help eliminate the need for the emrgency buttom shown in TV commercial for "I've fallen and I can't get up" to:

The Wensel's "Wobble and You Won't Fall Down" work out video.

With songs like "Eating to the Oldies" and another "I just wanna eat all night and eat everyday" (sang in the KISS melody of "I Just wanna rocken roll all night and party every day)

Why walk and take the chance of falling down when you can wobble every where.

It's all about a a Seefood diet, when they seefood they eat it.

Still visiting those places where you put a quarter in the slot and get to see part of a "special" movie?  What was it that happened to Barry's Burbarry Rain Coat in one of those places?  Hmmm?  I can't seem to remember!

Then there's the story of you shooting that Bear and getting him half skinned and then an Elk bugled.  Off you went and never could find the Bear or the skinning knife again...Good thing Barry and I were there to help!

Then there's the two cases of Dinty Moore Beef Stew that you and Barry ate cold while whining under our table...

Man, it goes on and on...don't it, Gene?

Too F. Short

Along time ago when Wensels were considered totally believable; one of them said that they got big bucks the 'easy way'.
'Estrus is Estrus; human or deer.'
"Just what do you think that string is for??"
And that fall was one I will NEVER forget. Those things were hanging from every tree!!!
      :eek:
I live in bighorn country; not unusual to see them in the road or next to it. I also live in steelhead country; and its not at all unusual to see fishermen in the store wearing their hip boots.
 I don't expect to live to elk season... cause I know I am going to ask ..... "you sheep huntin?".

Now I'm not one to go against Uncle Gene, after all, he and Barry are two of my closest friends BUT, (you knew that was coming eh?)

When it comes to hangin stands, Too Short's steps aren't that big of a deal. Wens uses 4 stands to hang one. One about knee high then climb up on it, another about waist high, climb up on it....you get the idea. Then he screws the steps in on the way back down. Don't believe me???

Sheesh!  I take off on an overnight fishing trip with my mate, who happens to be a beautiful, six foot tall, Nordic Goddess from Norwegian Airlines, and I come back to more verbal sewage!

I remember the time in Georgia when we were filming with Gene and Barry and we went into a Shoney's restaurant.  We had to wait about 5 minutes for a table...  Gene was hungry (so what's new) and went around eating scraps off other people's plates on vacated tables.  THEN the idiot goes over to a table full of southern red necks and asks for some bacon!  I already had my escape route picked out!

Calgary Alberta:  a really CLASSY, wee breakfast restaurant with lace table cloths, fine china, and a lovely view.  They only made one mistake when they remodled this place...they put the men's room right off the wall of the dinning area with no corridor.

As usual, Gene orders enough for about 8 REAL people (my size) and starts scarfing it up.  This is one of those times when you don't let your hands stray too far from your plate, or they'll get bitten off, if you get my drift.

In walk four MOUNTIES...you know, the Sergeant Preston types with the fancy red uniforms.  Now we note the second mistake of the day...they sit in the table closest to the men's room door!  About this time Gene gets that "I'm topped up look on his face and anxiously looks around for the you-know-what.

Within moments, some really gross noises are coming through the men's room door and then the air, once prefumed with the scent of freshly baked cinnamon rolls, changes to something slightly worse than the settling ponds in the Calgary sewer treatment plant.  Two tables immediately emptied out and they weren't that near the door to the can.  I watched the faces on the Mounties...They are sort of like the Queen's guards...they can't let on that something is bothering them...they just sit there grim faced. The give away, with these stoic guys is when their skin begins to turn a lovely shade of green.

Then Gene opened the door (and, of course, left it open) and walked into the room again.  I heard a thump behind him and saw one of the Mounties slumped over on the floor!  I grabbed the check, paid it, and got out the door with out taking more than three breaths.  Lucky I had been a free diver for all those years and could hold my breath for a full three minutes.

All my really good blackmail photos are on the film kind and sitting in a file in Montana, but when I get back, there will be MANY photos posted to this site.  Paybacks are one of the fun things that I really love.

Gene did forget about the time we were in his Blazer going fishing and I took a slug of my coke...only to find I had gotten his spit can by mistake.  Having your stomach pumped is NOT a pleasant experience.

Too F. Short, but danged pourd of it (I'm also pourd to be dislexic)!

By-the-way, I now wear rubber gloves when I drive anywhere with Gene!  Yuck!

It is fun to watch him picking the dead grasshoppers off your grill and eating them.  He needs a wee bit of Emily Post, though.  He constantly smacks his lips when he gets a big moth!  

Ask Gene about the time he woke up at a P & Y convention and found PUKE all over the sleeve of his cordoroy sports coat.  Yeah, I know...who would EVER buy a cordoroy sports coat?  

Biggie...you owe me one for the Sumo contest.  How about some of YOUR stories about our pudgy friend?

Ahhh...I see that wudstix, who can't spell for beans, is OLD enough to know!

I can picture Gene and Barry, sitting like Jaba the Hut in front of the old wooden, three foot tall, radio listening to The Shadow, The Lone Ranger, Boston Blacky, Bat Man, Roy Rogers, Amos and Andy (which probably affected them more than any other program), and more.

Then came TV.  Ask Gene to tell you his long running fantasies about Annette Funacello!  He described them glowingly around several campfires over the year.  This is one of the reasons that Schafer was so reluctant to answer Gene's questions about his success with women.  He didn't want to end up sharing with Gene...by proxy.

I walked into a room one day
Was shocked, not knowing what to say
There on the bed lay two beached whales
Far from sand and boats with sails
One was Barry and one was Gene
By far the grossest sight I've seen.

Pizza boxes, burger wraps, and crumbs galore
Clothes and stuff strewn on the floor
The smell of body was strong and stout
My only thought...how to get out?
Mindless giggling filled the room
Along with an occassional minor boom

I still have visions of that scene
Two beached whales...Barry and Gene
Wearing only jockey shorts to my surprise
I didn't know they came in that size
The rest of my life will be a nightmare
Of all that fat and all that hair

There once was a runt from New Zealand
Who fancied to track him an eland.
But the person named Paul
Was the size of a doll.

His stride lacked some pride
With a much taller Bushman at his side.
This Bushman "host with the most"
would not turn him to toast

But were the tracks in the sand
Made with Paul's hand?
Some called it a snake
But they were wrong on their take.
This "reptile" it seemed
Was not quite what was deemed.

Yes, the drag marks were deep
But definitely not cheap.
No women would ball it
No lumberjacks fall it
It took two real men to haul it

No, the tracks in the sand
Were not made with Dwarf's hand

They came from the little guy's wallet.

Post by: Gene Wensel on April 13, 2007, 06:06:00 PM
Oh ya? I'd say kiss my butt, but you can't jump that high...
 Here's another one:

There once was a chap named Paul Brunner
Who thought of himself as tail gunner
With M-60 he spoke
Not a voice nor a joke
But the elk,
they still called him Blade Runner.

With broadhead and bow
He tredged through "deep" snow
Just a skiff would come up to his navel
High heels would not work and he felt like a jerk
wearing ostrich boots with Vibram

So in summer he bent for snakeskins to rent
to tall people as bow limb covers

Now snakes could look down atop of Dwarf's crown
For a mouse was not much bigger
But with M-60 in tow instead of his bow
He struck quite a fancy figure.
But jumping was nil as he hoped for a kill
What a shame he could not reach his trigger.

There once was a man named Gene
Who at hunting seemed quite keen
Alas, we have heard
From the mouth of a bird
He's so big, he's a has been

Now, Gene, I'm working on several more dandy limmericks.  I'll have them for your assessment tomorrow...

Gotta like Randy Newman!!

Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Round here

Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)

Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here

Good thing these guys like each other. Otherwise it could lead to a stint in the ring. Would be a classic Ali/Frazier match up. Speed and footwork against power and brute force.

I'd buy a ringside ticket but wouldn't have a clue on where to put my money.  :)

Guys...and gals...

I throw down the towell.  After the 20 best reasons, I have no place left to go.  I admit that Gene is funnier than I.  This hurts, but I have to be honest.

Now, the fact that everything he wrote was plagerized should be noted.

Heck...  I put a fork sticking up out of the Moose John River when I was floating it with a much smaller Wensel.  I was photographing it and Gene saw me and asked why I was doing it.  I told him I was going to do a story on the trip and include this photo with the caption: "We came to this fork in the river and didn't know which way to go."  He then asked if he could have a copy of the picture after it was developed.  I sent him one after the trip.  Next thing I know, I look in the latested PBS magazine and there is MY photo and MY quote, with Gene taking the credit for himself.

So, although I have thrown in the towell, I strongly suspect that Gene got all this humorous stuff from someone else, as he is not smart enough to do it himself.  He gets most of his funny lines from Grease Man Manelli tapes that some dude Washington DC sends him, by-the-way.

Also, if you ever share a camp with the twins, bring a big trunk with a HUGE padlock and lock up your food.  

My last thought to convey to you readers is for you to remember that all those growth hormones had to go SOMEWHERE!  It's got to be why so many women flock to me.

Cheers!

Way Too F. Short

My cowboy boots are not white on top.  

I am much better looking.

My women are in the class of Jane Mansfield, Goldie Hawn, and Shirley Temple.  I would never be seen with a HAWG like that!

I'm working on more Wensel stories.  I am ticked that I don't have my photos of him here in New Zealand!  I could top him instantly with some of the blackmail class photos I have of the guy!

More poetry soon...

Jayne Mansfield and Shirley Temple are two examples of your type women? I believe they are both dead. Even if they were alive, they'd be pushing 90 years old. If that blonde in the photo was built like Jayne, your clone wouldn't be standing as close. Matter of fact with one good inhale, she could give your little buddy a black eye. Shirley Temple turns your crank? Wasn't she a child star? What are you trying to tell us? I would think Betty Boop was more your type.

I've not met Paul, but have met Gene and Barry,
I think short people have the camo thing  whipped- unless some guys are out "stump" shooting...
Gene could get by with a sign taped to his belly,
1st cut $40/round bale.  The deer wouldn't suspect a thing....

Been gone fishing...now back to defend myself.

Shucky-darn!  You're right, Ray, but you didn't consider the fact that this was obviously a "Typo", since I do not EVER mis-spell an English word.  SIX YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL gave me a superior education!  How many of you other readers got an education like that?  In addition to all that education, I was very mature when they sent my diploma in the mail (for some unknown reason, they refused to allow me to attend the senior graduation exercises...fine with me, since I HATE exercising anyway!)  I guess it was because they didn't want someone nearly 21 in the lineup!

Gene is one of two fat deerholics
In the woods he used to love to frolic
No more frolicing now
He's as big as a cow
Many years since he's seen his hydraulics!

And some of you think this is between two FRIENDS??????

Hugs and kisses, Gene

Maybe Dame Edna, or some such cutie pie?  I need to have women to lust after, Gene.  Note, I did NOT end that sentence with a preposition!

I actually gave up on "Miss Montana", my anatomically correct blow-up doll, because I finally met the perfect woman.  I met "Dolly" in a cool gift store in Invercargill, New Zealand.  She is be-ooootiful in all respects.  She is the perfect woman!  Very low maintenance, too.  One great thing about an anatomically correct blow-up sheep is that she never complains, never asks me to do chores, and never says, "No"!  She has a cute, wee, red bow on her left ear.  All it takes to keep Dolly happy is a wee, rubber patch kit.

I am truly happy for the first time in my life, Gene, and I wanted to share this with you.  By-the-way, Gene, Dolly has a sister, Mildred.  I have taken the liberty of sending her to you in a plain, brown-wrapped box.  She should "be in your hands" in just a few days.  Let me know how you like her.  I think Donna will be darned happy about this, too.  

By-the-way, Gene...  You're looking awfully grey and aged in your photos.  May I suggest an Ellis-type toupee...or at least some hair color.  It would take years off your life.

We need to get together soon, Gene, and compare notes on our lady friends, if you get what I mean.

Cheers, OLD friend!

Heeerrrrreeee we gooooo, folks!
