    I read the listing and, like magic, heard Lewis Black’s voice in my head. I have to say that improved things greatly.

    This is the first book I’ve ever written and is designed to make people be better and feel better – I feel better already and haven’t even read it. Just knowing it has been written puts me at FUCKING EASE!!

    Use Language to your advantage like the seller has. He does not give a fuck, not a single fuck, not a single solitary fuck simply cause he don’t give a fuck mother fucker.
    How did I do? Is my language here as advantaged as his description? Perhaps I need to hire the girl who is whoring out her ideals for 19.99 to help…how many days do I get her again for that??

    $50? Right…ok so $50 to have someone tell you all the things your mom told you, but with more swearing (unless your mum was like mine). No one is actually going to buy this are they? (if so I am willing to record similar advice so you can make a cd and have a real mum scream at you to clean your shit up and shut up, for a small fee)

    I hear the voice of Justin’s Dad from “Shit My Dad Says”…except, since Twitter is free, I can easily just spend $0.00 to get similar types of (yes!) wisdom. Ergo I have just saved myself (and possibly some of you) fifty large! That is, until Justin’s book comes out, but since that will probably retail for about twenty bucks, I’m still saving $30.
    Um. Anyway. That’s all my maths ideals four one nite.

    Lewis Black and Red from “That 70′s Show” – both are well worth imagining!!! A nice subtle difference between the two: the crazed “I don’t give a fuck if you listen to me” rantings of Lewis Black versus the beleaguered “dammit, Eric, I’m telling you this for your own good,” advice from Red.

    BTW: am i the only dumb-ass who got a kick out of “pantie WAIST”? No elastic-waistband advice for me!

    Great. Just what I always fucking wanted, a book screaming at me to do shit years after I moved out…’cause I miss my deranged family and all.
    Just skip the writing and go yell at yourself.

    It’s easy. Just go to mirror and tell yourself to brush your damn teeth. Now clean up the house mother fucker! And don’t forget to take out the fucking trash you loser!
    Now..you feel better and you’ve saved $50 bucks, or you’re a depressed, suicidal wreck. In that case, you can blame journal guy.

    (serves 8 of you bastards)

    4 pounds of a goddamned chicken

    2 quarts of boiling fucking water

    some salt and some onions and some motherfucking bay leaves and some other crap

    Heat this shit in a pan and mix it all up, but FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS be quiet when you’re doing it. Don’t run your fucking mouth off at the stove. Running your goddamned mouth off all the time isn’t fucking polite.

    Enjoy! and then clean the goddamned kitchen up… you dirty…
