At least the second one is news to me. Not that I particularily care. Maddox stopped being funny about 4 years ago.   ;The National Day of Sweden!;  D-Day?   ;  Tuesday!What do i win?   ;  It's the day where a bunch of idiots drop the most significant digit off the calendar and realise that the world is going to end because of that.I mean, yeah, I've heard a lot of stuff about that book, but personally I'd prefer to keep my humour intake on Internet and TV only.Quote:Original post by SandmanTuesday!What do i win?Did you bring your coat?   ;Quote:Original post by aidan_walshAt least the second one is news to me.

It's had numerous spots on Amazon's top 20 list for daily sales, including a decent period (week or two if I remember correctly) at number one.  That was all from presales. From what I understand (Don't have my copy yet), it's just a bunch of pictures with phrases like "A" is for "Ass Kicking".  A simple book for simple minded people.I must say though, some of his online commentary is quite interesting.  Such as (taken from the books page on Amazon):Quote:" Straight Is the New Gayby MaddoxIn a world where metrosexuals--stylish, well-groomed, and sharply dressed men--have taken the center stage in defining the new masculinity, small pockets of men are starting to emerge, rebelling against the status quo. This new breed of man has rejected a lifestyle of wine tasting, pedicures, and excessive cultural awareness (i.e., any cultural awareness). This newly born response to metrosexuality is gaining momentum like never before, calling back to a day when men proudly wore plaid, ate liver and onions, and smelled like motor oil by choice. This modern man has come to be known simply as: the hetrosexual.Hetrosexual men aren't afraid embrace their masculinity. They eat, drink, and sleep like real men: fully engorged. There's no such thing as a "fashion faux-pas" in the world of hetrosexuality. In fact, even the use of the phrase "faux-pas" draws the ire of the hetrosexual man in the form of beatings and social isolation (preferably both). These are men who refuse to be pigeonholed into the constraints of sexual ambiguity, and gladly welcome every opportunity to crotch-wrestle a hot babe. Hetrosexuals are making it cool to be straight again; straight is the new gay.Think you might be a hetrosexual? Take the following quiz to find out:1. How much should you tip a hairstylist?A) 10%B) 15%C) 20%If you answered, you're wrong. Hetrosexuals don't go to hair stylists.2. Cologne?A) YesB) NoThe correct answer is B) No. Acceptable fragrances for men are: sweat, grease, rum, or some combination thereof.3. Which language do you speak?A) FrenchB) EnglishC) BothD) NeitherThe answer is B) English. French is the language of love, and men don't love anything. At best, there are varying degrees of "like," and even then, men don't like anything that much.4. When dining at restaurant, you shouldA) Push aside your friends and wrestle over the best seatB) Wait until the maitre d' seats youC) What's a maitre d'?The correct answer is A and C. A, because if you don't secure the best spot at the table, you may find yourself in the position of having to engage in small talk with your guest. And C, because of the answer to question 3 above.If you answered all of the questions correctly, congratulations: you are the winner. The important thing to keep in mind is that you are a man (unless you are not), and nobody can take that away from you.
