fight corporate publishers

For the past couple of months, a book offer with a bigger publisher was pending for RATED F. This came about because of the book's sales performance. Thank you for your support, by the way.

The publisher hesitated because the book is "...a little ... different."

I say that book publishers FCCing suck!

Here I am, rejected again.

I Ref Football

I'm one of those guys you see on Friday nights on a high school football field wearing the striped shirt and tossing the yellow hanky. Every year at this time, I have to pull out my uniform and make sure it still fits. It does. I tried it on last night. So if you play high school football or like to go to the games, please don't yell at the damn officials.

The Dukes Of Hazzard

Okay. I admit it. I am part of a generation that learned how to jump cars over rivers and to drive like a maniac screaming "Yahoo!" as the befuddled police crash their cars in failed attempts to capture you.

I even had a Dukes of Hazzard lunch box in sixth grade. (It depicted Bo and Luke Duke leaping through the windows of their '69 Dodge Charger--complete with a Hemi, by god.)

I had to see the motion picture. I knew it would be insipid, silly, and complete candy--a perfect way to put my brain on "pause" after a long Saturday. And it was all that. Silly car chases, and more redneck fun than the television series ever dared. It was stupid, delightfully stupid. I knew it would be. And I loved every corny bit of it.

But my question to the couple that got up and walked out after about forty minutes is this: WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU EXPECTING? It was the Dukes of Hazzard for god's sake.

Go see it. But don't bring your brain--you won't need it. And that's the point.
