Ships & Bricks: alike in the way they’re different.
This was another simple, absurd, and entertaining description from Hitchhiker’s Guide. When we draw parallels we frequently compare like things. The choice to combine “these two things that are similar because their not” caught me pleasantly off guard. I’ve been looking for some funny books of late–the kind that make you laugh out loud. They’reContinue reading “Ships & Bricks: alike in the way they’re different.”

“…more AK-47s than Budweisers.”
Here’s one more post from Dave Barry’s Big Trouble: Bar names, all by themselves can be funny. The Drunken Donkey, The Pint of No Return, and Psycho Suzi’s Motor Lounge & Tiki Garden. The Jolly Jackal brings an entertaining image to mind. Barry takes it a step further with another one of those exaggerations (andContinue reading ““…more AK-47s than Budweisers.””

“…fills the space with grape scent.”
A handful of books use smells to connect the reader emotionally. CJ Simone does it sparingly in The Manic Mission, but this line grabbed me. In the late 80’s, young love smelled like Carmex, Almay, Drakkar Noir, and sometimes grape bubble gum. The Manic Mission is for readers interested in tough topics that eventually offerContinue reading ““…fills the space with grape scent.””

“…delight and torment girls.”
Ok, one more from The Manic Mission by CJ Simone. I’m a slightly nerdy white guy, and I rarely delighted or tormented girls . . . but we all knew the knuckleheads that did. Handsome, talented, and sometimes cocky or just a fool. And yet, we nerds thought, it might be nice delight and tormentContinue reading ““…delight and torment girls.””
