So the Broom Reviews are fake–how disappointing. But I suspect the playtime that some girls are getting out of it is still real.
**Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas : A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream **
by *Hunter S. Thompson, Ralph Steadman *
I had heard so much about this book that I had to read it. While there were some entertaining bits I was slightly disappointed that the author didn’t make his condemnation of drugs a little clearer. Look, I’m no square, drugs are a fact of life and therefore an issue open for discussion in literature. But I do believe that authors such as Mr Thompson have a duty to their readers to stress the dangers of drugs so that they can then make an informed decision not to take them. That’s really my only gripe apart from the sick illustrations.
**BWAH. HAH. HAH. HAH. HAH. **
I love this universe.

And we most certainly can’t be mentioning humorous Amazon reviews and ignore this little gem, can we now?

Update from the Seattle Weekly
Small World - Unclean Sweep
Oh, lord! This guy Henry Raddick is a freaking god! The guy is weaving in comic themes through his work like a pro. Take for example the prequel to the above dog-reaming comment:
Pets-R-Permitted: Hotel, Motel Kennel and Petsitter Directory
A truly wonderful guide which I wish I had bought prior to recently boarding my dog Grendel. I’m told he got himself a…-jacket for putting himself under the wing of an old timer daddy bulldog during his kennel stay. This superb guide will help us consider the alternative community-based disposals on offer since Grendel clearly can’t do the time without unacceptable compromises.
…And if you think Grendel is in for an easy time of it now that he’s out of the hoosegow, think again:
Taxidermy, a Complete Manual
A fantastic guide to a lost art, and one which has greatly assisted me in the difficult task of reassembling my dearly departed spaniel Barry. First rate.
I want to find this guy and shake his hand. Or at least wave to him from the other side of the plexiglass window.
So 15 years later this is still a thing?
