Yes, we should finally start taking orders next week (and it will most likely start shipping the week after). We’ll soon have a site up for NTM Publishing, Inc., where there will a PDF sample of the book (including a couple of my favorite In My Worlds that I can’t imagine anyone not finding them the funniest things ever). Even better than reading a sample, you’ll be able to order the book, and it will be $16.95 plus shipping. All proceeds will go to the get Frank J. and family out of debt fund. We’ll offer packs of books (maybe 3 or 5… we have to think on it) at a discount so you can buy them for everyone for Christmas since there are a criminal number of people who have yet to read an In My World.
How much extra a signed copy will cost hasn’t been determined yet (there’s extra shipping and handling to do that), but not only will you a signature in your book but also a Frank J. self-portrait (that will explain what a hat means).
I especially like the back cover. The picture of me is in an outtake based on doing the photo shoot next to a golf course. I also have actual quotes from famous people about me (all taken out of context). Maybe I’ll get an image of the back cover up later (which include the cool NTM Publishing logo).
BTW, the book is 368 pages with a Foreword, Acknowledgments, a table of contents, and 95 In My Worlds. I think it includes some of the funniest stuff I ever wrote, and I can’t wait to get more reactions on it.
Yay! You can’t wait for the book, and I can’t wait to get your money! Everyone wins!
Now on to plot how to promote my book. Saying really controversial stuff so you get on the news seems to work. Any ideas of controversial stances I can take?

I said this and this and this and this about Sundown Lounge.
Essentially, a podcast good enough to listen to despite the host’s politics and my own short attention span.
So, Larry Winfield of Sundown Lounge replies.
Notice in my four posts how I mostly said good things about his show in spite of my disagreement with his politics, but he said nothing about mine.
I also link him. A good podcaster and blogger links, even if he disagrees with the subject matter.
He… um… doesn’t. You have no idea who he is talking about. Just some right-wing mo-fo that he compares to someone sending poison letters to media people and worships an anorexic nutcase and Michelle Malkin (“STOP TALKING ABOUT MICHELLE MALKIN!”)
I make the effort to find the good. He…
Well, judge for yourself.

I have the Borat song “Throw the Jew Down the Well” stuck in my head, which is bad. Because I don’t want to be at work picking up some printouts and, without thinking, start singing to myself, “Throw the Jew down the well…”

What if, while I’m singing that, a Jewish co-worker comes by and says to me, “Hey! It isn’t right to want to throw me down a well!”
And my only response would be, “But I want my country to be free.”
“Then you’d better find some other means to that end than throwing Jews down wells. Good day, sir.”
I don’t think my company hires Jews, though.

I hate five day work weeks (half my work weeks are only four days since we work nine hours Monday through Thursday), but a six day work week?
Well, here I am on Saturday to put in a full nine hours (and I actually have plenty to get done), but I’ll take some sanity breaks to blog.
Anyhoo, this morning I saw that John Hawkins had posted a video from Chris Rock entitled “How Not to Get Your Ass Kicked” which would have been great advice for the idiot from UCLA to follow.
As we all know, Lair stuck to that advice when he had guns pointed at him, and he turned out (relatively) fine.
