    I was at a meeting tonight and a man mentioned in passing that a certain book was the second most published item in the world. I looked at google and it maybe the first or the third but it is certainly up there. I was surprised when he said what it was.

    I think that "Scraping Foetus...." have still not been acknowledged as the pioneers that they were.

    I don't think he wrote a book though.

    What was it?

    Jamie Oliver's The Naked Chef. Is it like a rule that every woman on the planet has to have at least one (usually unopened) copy of this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,679 ✭✭✭SafeSurfer


    I have an idea for a book.

    The book is called "Cum Makes You Thin".

    Every woman wants to be thin and every man wants a blowjob so its win win.

    If some damn feminist asks for proof I'll ask them did they ever see a fat bird guzzling Jizz on redtube. (And no the exception does not make the rule).

    Multo autem ad rem magis pertinet quallis tibi vide aris quam allis

    My cousin's bf wrote a book ages ago. It was published as a free audiobook online. What little attention it garnered ridiculed it completely at best, or were simply appalled. I listened to some of it and it really was awful. Laughably bad.

    I looked it up just now. It was recently published by an imprint of a major publisher which is trying to be trendy it seems. It's in a nice cover, has a compelling blurb that is far better written than the book itself, and even has a short promo film with decent production values. Now it seems to have received a good few reviews, and they are a bit mixed - but range from raving about it to cautious criticism of it as a failed experiment.

    It's still utter sh!t though. It's purely people responding to the presentation. They think it is clever because they are told it is clever - even though they are being told this by the person selling it to them. Thierry Guetta style impact.

    There must be a word for this phenomenon.

    Reminds me of those blatantly false work from home ads that promise a gazillion euro a week as long as you know how to use a computer. I can't wait for the before and after pics.

    The book title wouldn't be "The Lady in the Knocking Shop" by Ivor Nickersdon by any chance?:):):)

    Semen is not only nutritious, but it also has a wonderful texture and amazing cooking properties. Like fine wine and cheeses, the taste of semen is complex and dynamic. Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and restaurants. Despite all of these positive qualities, semen remains neglected as a food.

    ahahahhahahahahahhahahaa :)
