Summary
E-book exclusives: "Words on Jerky," "Jelly Roll,"and "The Problem with Hats" three Mike Nelson essays (sssshhh) *not available in the print edition*.In more than fifty hilarious all-new essays, one of America's brightest young humorists -- the head writer and on-air host of the legendary TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000 -- finds the fun in all aspects of the human condition, no matter how absurd.Why do some people retain cute baby-talk names for their relatives (like "Num-Num" and "Pee-Paw") well into middle age? How should a reasonable person respond when Olivia Newton-John sings, "Have you never been mellow?" Who's responsible for the sorry state of men's fashion, and is it the same guy who invented the jerkin? Is there any future in being a Midwesterner? Can you really enjoy your lunch when the restaurant is decorated to look like an African plain? How come women keep dozens of bottles and jars of moisturizers, unguents, and lotions around -- *all of them half empty*?
First line
Faced with a choice between two doors, behind one of which is a pack of ravenous tigers and Siegfried-and Rov (!)-and behind the other a pleasant stay in a hotel room for several days, I'd have to say, "Bring on the big cats-just please keep those German guys away from me."
