I Stole This Too!

All I can say is, luckily, there are no Comic Book Experts here reading this, because I stole the idea from, I think, MAD Magazine. But who would know, since there are no Comic Book People reading this piece anyway? Right????

Years ago, MAD Magazine (which nobody in this 'National Geographic' crowd has read in forever, because there's no Comic Book People around THIS spot!!!) did a regular segment called "The World's Thinnest Books." Or something like that.

So I thought I would contribute-the Comic Book Folks will never find out anyway. Right???

The World's Thinnest Books:


1. "Hoagy's Guide to Bargain Shopping."

2. "B-Down's Keys To Finding the Perfect Husband."

3. "The Sunny Side of Hitler"

4. "Chef Joanne's Lunch Cookbook"

5. "Putting Your Best Mugface Forward," by Nick Nolte

6. "Michael Jackson's Tips On Childrearing"

7. "The Life and Times of Jon Benet Ramsy" (Ok-that's a bit sick, but I couldn't resist)

8. "How to Keep Your Marriage Alive," by Elizabeth Taylor

9. "Muslims Who Love America"

10. "The Domestic and Foreign Policy Successes of President George W. Bush."

Whew. Feel free to contribute-just don't tell any of those Comic Book People.

That reminds me of a story:

"The Vole" comes from a tiny village, and they only have one book. It is there holy book, and no one can gaze upon it because it is sacred.

The book is kept in a cardboard box at the very top of the Tall Tower

There are, however, many rumours (sic cake) about its consistency.

Most belive that it is, in fact, wafer-thin. That it has, on the cover, a solid black circle. On the first, and only, page, some believe is a green triangle, but others believe is a blue square.

The animosity between the two groups has created a centuries long conflict between the "Green Triangle Gangs" of Penrose Street, on the South end of the village, and the "Blue Square Posse" that lives mostly in boats down by the docks.

So then "The Vole" broke into the Tall Tower, and ripped open the cardboard box, and it turned out that the sacred book was actually a menu from a 1970s "Sambo's" restaurant.

I think Clinky was just trying to make me feel more at home. I think I have something in my eye ::wipes eyes furtively::

My spelling is all over the place on these blogs...in real life, I spell more consistently, I promise. Hee.
