I'm not sure how many are familiar with the works of Jim Goad or know his history but this book is a treasure.

*chirp, chirp, chirp...*

still havn't read that.
picked up shit manet and put it down ater 20 pages.

Here's a passage for you....

"Since I don't know a thing, I figure I'm about as qualified as anyone else to talk about religion. I have no inkling why I'm here on this dirtball planet, and I'm even less sure about you. I'd call myself agnostic, but that sounds as if I'm nasally congested. I'm a simple boy. My life has never been French-kissed with supernatural phenomena. Never had a personal chat with God. Can't say I've ever had a tumor disappear through the the power of prayer. Haven't seen any suspicious flying objects. No Sasquatches rooting around in my garbage can. I've sometimes been relaxed enough to feel what you might call "at one with the universe," but that's as profound as it gets. Sometimes you feel connected to the universe, sometimes you don't. I get more religion taking my dog for a walk than I'd get in any church on earth. I've taken shits that have provided me with more exquisite spiritual satisfaction than twelve years of Catholic school."

Nads?

" I get more religion taking my dog for a walk than I'd get in any church on earth."

I read this when it first came out, being an "Answer Me" reader, and this is my
favorite line in the whole book.

(btw, hi all! it's been awhile!)

jillbee.

When I first read this, I thought you said "when I first came out" and I was gonna congratulate you on that.
But then I read it again.

i finally got the full set.
including the #4 with the rape board game.


and Welcome back!

There's Jersey JillBee.

yeah, back at least part time!
my booze budget has gone away until March on account of a little Central American
jaunt I am taking next month so I have little to contribute to absinthe chat, and will soon have
to start "training" for 10 days of a steady diet of cerveza.
I have been working pretty hard lately too...gotta give my eyes and joints a break or i get hurtful repetitve stress issues.

Where ya going?

costa rica. i need to escape all this snow.

I think I'd like to go to the Dominican Republic .... awesome cigars down there.
