Our local book store sells The Dalek Survival Guide but I think this is slightly closer to the ol' comedy bullseye. I eagerly await a follow-up, along the lines of "Labour Party Political Broadcast Survival Guide."

And the greatest book ever is The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy.

On the topic of quirky books that may make good Christmas presents, here's a link to Bush-Quotes calendars and books.  I don't claim to use perfect grammar constantly but I also don't attempt to use polysyllabic words that are obviously beyond me.   :P

I never voted for him, and I can't stand him either.

David Letterman really isn't that funny anymore, but some of the clips of Bush that he makes fun of are slightly humorous.

earlwood: "Mind Over Matters" by Mike Nelson? I love that book!!

As for this zombie book, I'm thinking of getting it for a friend. I read some of it today at the bookstore, and it was really more creepy than funny. I think my friend would like it. Too bad I don't have any money.

I think it goes without saying.

Anyways, I picked up the Survival Guide today. I will be sharing the info amongst my zombie brothers, so don't feel safe.

We have the knowledge. The knowledge is power.

It certainly does make you cooler than him.  I should know, since I have my own signed copy.
