In these funny and twisted stories of American culture, David McGimpsey answers questions which have long demanded answers: What does a teacher of Elvisology teach? What kind of animal is McDonald's Grimace? Did Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman ever kiss each other? If Fonzie's leather jacket wrote letters - who would it write to? Are there other kinds of nog besides egg nog? Is it better to write for the New Yorker or to have developed scripts for LA Law? Is there a worse band name than The Agoraphobic Wilburys? And, of course, what parts of the male anatomy best rhyme with Jesus? collection of fiction has often heard but, luckily, the speaker usually mishears and thinks he's heard you sure are lovable! They are loveable. In a landscape of mini-mails, theme restaurants and weight-loss centres, the sadness of life's adult rewards leads to comic relief in these short, topical, American asides. This is perfect reading for college dropouts as well as their less romantic cousins who stuck it out until they received a degree. The work bears all the hallmarks of McGimpsey's critically acclaimed poetry (sharp wit, pop savvy) - except, now, without the annoyance of poetry!
