The Funniest Thing I Have Ever Read

Hoke Malokey (like, Bob Dole, this is how I refer to myself) just read "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" by David Sedaris and makes the following offer to all of Ace's acolytes.

Buy the book. Read the chapter about Sedaris' brother ("Rooster at the Hitchin' Post").

If it is not the funniest thing you've ever read, Ace will refund the purchase.

I dunno. P.J.O'Rourke has had me on the floor gasping for breath on several occasions.

David is the GAY MULLET!

Snide Quear Humor, How Droll.

Amy is much funnier!

Ace, you can find more about the Rooster in Barrel Fever, one of Sedaris's earlier books.

I'd also point out that as funny as Sedaris's books are, the audio books are possibly even funnier. Having listened to these, I almost can't bring myself to just read the books anymore.

Speaking of the Rooster, be sure to check out

http://www.sedarishardwoodfloors.com/

which is the website for the Rooster's flooring company and

http://www.youcantkilltherooster.com/

where you can get official Rooster T-Shirts.

PJ O'Rourke had me on the floor gasping for breath too, but that's when we were dating.

Ba-dump.

Posted by: Hoke Malokey on October 2, 2004 04:39 PM

Sorry about that loose shit. The other Rooster material is in "Me Talk Pretty One Day," not "Barrel Fever." Though I'd reccomend both, I figured I ought to correct the record before I make a maniac out of David Sedaris.

Posted by: Publius on October 2, 2004 04:45 PM

I've read that book - and that chapter is great!

Have you read his other books - i.e. Naked, Me Talk Pretty Some Day? I recommend all of them - I've laughed out loud at ALL of them.

Posted by: Isobella on October 2, 2004 10:53 PM

Sedaris rocks. Who else writes a story about finding a turd in the toilet at a party, and CONTEMPLATING what to do with it?

Plus, David Sedaris' books are the only books my wife has ever read. They're like Tivo and Seinfeld for her...every viewing is a new viewing, and every reading is a new reading. As long as he cranks one out every couple of years, I'm good to go.
