The title of our journal is Parker Pages not "The Parker Pages" or "the Parker Pages" as we have so often seen it.

We don't say "the Field & Stream" or "the Outdoor Life" or "the Gray's Sporting Journal" or "the Shooting Sportsman" so why do so many people say "the Parker Pages"?

It just ain't right I tell ya, it just ain't right...

Call me crazy but someone should rename it The Parker Pages. It has that certain je ne sais quoi like when a football player announces his alma mater:

THE Ohio State University
THE University of Florida
THE Parker Pages! Field and Stream and Outdoor Life are low lives compared to this publication anyways, they can't possibly pull off the "THE."
