A celebration of oddness

Post by cromasaig » 5th Mar, '08, 10:42

Barack, Hillary, schmillary. The contest that matters is for The Booksellers's oddest book title of the year. Please visit http://www.thebookseller.com to make your selection from the following unpickupable published titles:

Diagram Prize: Vote for the Oddest Title of the Year

* I Was Tortured By the Pygmy Love Queen
* How to Write a How to Write Book
* Are Women Human? And Other International Dialogues
* Cheese Problems Solved
* If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs
* People who Mattered in Southend and Beyond: From King Canute to Dr Feelgood

The cheap thrills of 'Closure' are currently besting my own particular favourite, 'Cheese Problems Solved'. Together, we can raise the tone of literature.

Apparently it'll set you back £135.

But all your cheese problems would be solved. Not just some. All.

You can't put a price on that.

And believe me I have a lot of cheeseproblems. 135 quid is a small price to pay

I look forward to the follow-up Asia focused "Tofu Problems Solved"

'Cheese Problems Solved' should be the Singaporum book - kind of like our mascot [smilie=gnigni.gif]

Any book that metions Dr. Feelgood and King Canute in the same sentence gets my vote...

Not sure about scouting for boys, but Scouting for Girls is a good band.

My bad, I thought Burb was simply stating a preference...

Oh. I just realised that Fat Bob will interpret "bush" entirely the wrong way. We are talking trees here, Fatty.

So you think that FB will think that Scouting for Boys is about paedophilia?

I thought Scouting for Girls was. Thought Scouting for Boys was a title already available and that you had bought every edition since you were of age, Burb.

Scout leaders.....they seem like strange people to me!

Prayer has no place in public schools. Just like facts have no place in organised religion.

Dear old FB. The French would have found you very useful at Agincourt. No matter how many points come your way, you miss them all.

[smilie=rotflmao.gif] Much as it pains me to do so, I have to give you a gold star for that put down.
