I've never read the bible either.. that doesn't mean I haven't seen bits and pieces of it, or gotten the general idea what it's about.

Books, are a waste of trees.

Tell me, in your own words,

1) What you believe this book is about
2) What sort of research was done for this book, by who
3) How many of the things said in this book have cited refrences
4) What message you believe Al Franken is trying to give his readers

I want to know what your "Bits and pieces" are telling you.

Now why doesnt that comment surprise me.

I take that "waste" comment back, as it turns out I actually own 15 books.

7 Steven King
4 Dave Berry
1 Dennis Rodman
1 Mick Foley
1 Jerry Seinfeld
1 Bill O'Reilly

Well, that answers my question as to why you don't want to read Al's book. You believe what Bill O'Reilly tells you, and like your name says, "The truth hurts" and Al points out a lot of things that Bill lies about.

:1orglaugh

Classic... complete with an unneccessary comma to add some irony!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

~ Al Franken turning a profit.
~ Just enough so that he can say "research was done", without being full of shit.
~ Just because someone cites a reference, doesn't means dick. I can cite references that say Michael Jackson is an alien, and Richard Gere has a thing for furry creatures.
~I would hope somewhere in there he expresses a desire for his readers to have a firm grasp of the English language before asking stupid questions. If so, please take his advice.

Just because I own it, doesn't mean I've read it.
It was a gift.

I added it for dramatic effect.
:Graucho

ahahahaha

Yet another bit of irony from you. If you want to turn this into petty insults, because you are clueless about something you are against, perhaps you should get your own firm grasp on the english language.

I hate to stoop to your level, but I can't resist.

The use of "that" in this sentence is incorrect, you shouldn't have put it there. Your comma should have went before the quotation mark.

Gotten?

Shall we continue with pettyness? Please, point out my english errors again, I love your retorts.

So you own the book, and this book makes you think twice about books being a "waste" but you haven't even read it?

what's wrong with Gotten?


Main Entry: 1get
Pronunciation: 'get, ÷'git
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): got /'gät/; got or got·ten /'gä-t&n/;

You have got to be shitting me, you mean gotten is actually a word? How the hell can the past tense of a past tense word be a word?!

I stand corrected.

You have gotten to be shittinged me.

It was a gift, as were most of the others.
It's a waste, because I will never read it.

The only ones I actually bought were the Dave Barry books, and I rarely even take them off the shelf.

it's used commonly here, maybe it's a regional thing.

Dave Barry? Well, at least I can respect you.

Southern?

Massachusetts.

:)

Dave Barry Slept Here got me started on him.
Read it in high school, nearly pissed myself laughing.

Too bad the TV show was total ass.

The first dave barry I ever read, was an editorial an ex girlfriend had clipped, and put on her wall (You know, the typical teenage girl bedroom, with clippings of shit all over) about how useless a Hummer was. I was hooked.
