Okay, admittedly it's
been a bit since The Thurber Brigade traveled down the path of relationships,
but bear with me for one more blog about SEX.
Take a zany trip through
American culture all within the pages of SEX and the AMERICAN MALE. Zack
Hardiman loses his mind one day after he discovers he doesn't own a single
T-shirt or magazine that isn't covered with advertising. After a short
rehabilitation in Doctor
Thomas’ World Famous Mellow Recovery Sanctuary, he begins an adventure to explore American
life and soon discovers how advertising, politics and mindless sloganeering
permeates and controls every aspect of our lives.
In SEX and the AMERICAN
MALE everything is fair game in this quick, fun read as the author parodies and
satirizes everything from America's fascination with massive gas-chugging autos
to science fiction conventions.
Makes you want to log on
to Amazon.com right now and buy it, doesn't it? Whatever.
That was a sly nod to
the book by the way. I throw in a "whatever" now and then as a slight
stab at Americans who use it relentlessly and usually as a form of
conversational surrender.
The real purpose of this
blog though, is so I can make up all sorts of silly statements readers of SEX
and the AMERICAN MALE can make by being in possession of this funny, thigh
slapping tome (did that description convince you to buy? Just $2 at Barnes & Noble)
- “Yes, I really enjoyed SEX last night.”
- "Sex last night was fantastic!"
- "Of course I enjoyed SEX on my flight to LA."
- "I have a little SEX every night right before turning off the light."
You can also try to make
those relatives you are not fond of having over feel a little uneasy by
casually saying these phrases:
- "My friends and I really enjoyed SEX last night—together."
- "My biker boyfriend and I so enjoyed SEX this afternoon, we may tackle it again tonight after you leave."
- "I laughed a lot during SEX the other evening. Your daughter did too."
- "The cops would probably be upset if they knew I was enjoying SEX while driving."
As you see, the funny
and maybe a little bizarre statements you can make if you own a copy of SEX and
the AMERICAN MALE are endless. So
buy a copy today (still just $2 at KOBO) and come up with your own SEX phrases.
An Apology: I want to take this final moment to apologize to those readers who believe I am making fun of them because they might be a little queasy about seeing and reading the word SEX over and over. Or to those who think I'm using it as a blatant ploy (like the advertisers I chide in the book) to get people to read this blog. I am of course, but nevertheless, sorry.
