Not nearly as good as it's sequel, "JUST KIDDING: YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN ABORTED!!"

Geez, it's hard to believe no publisher wanted to pick that one up.

The internet: All the fun of interacting with the mentally ill without the incessant demand for spare change.

Ah, the constricting anus guy. Good call, tsm; one of the oldies but goodies.

I like how Miz Strong-Anderson appears to be blaming COMPUTER DICTATORS for her hundreds of thousands of typographical errors. Price is a little steep, though. Paul, you need to get a review copy!

My favorite part is :

THIS BOOK MAY BE REVISED: BECAUSE OF COMPUTER DICTATORS

Darned computer dictators, they'll get you every time. Oh, and @6 - I actually have a copy of that one, my brother got it for me as a stocking stuffer. ;)

@11: tsm was good, but I have to say I prefer @9, who I think nailed the etymology of THE HOLYSPIRIT.

It's always disturbing seeing a woman with her hands in her pockets. Especially when she's wearing a dress. Like a large man carrying a little umbrella, or a child in a tuxedo. DO NOT TRUST.

Does the whole book read like the blurb? I could barely make it through that. I couldn't imagine 600+ pages.

@1:

What I find really funny about that one is that apparently it took the author 252 pages to explain the action described in the title.

Seriously, how much can one really SAY about the health benefits of anal constriction?

Please tell me I'm not the only one who rated and reviewed Ms. Eliyzabeth's tome on amazon? Hint.

I think this beats "Latawnya the Naughty Horse."

But just barely.

the only self published books are rpgs, and usually you can get then as pdf files first to see if it is crazy F.A.T.A.L. shit or not.
