radioman Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Read a photocopied UK Daily Mail in the hotel lounge this evening I spotted the following list of interesting books: Six legged sex, the erotic lives of bugs What to say when you talk to yourself Tattooed mountain women and spoon boxes of Daghestan Whoose bottom? A lift the flap book Tea bag folding The anger of aubergines People who don't know they're dead How green were the Nazi's? Living with crazy buttocks Knitting with dog hair Fancy coffins to make yourself Woodcarving with a chainsaw How to avoid huge ships Old tractors and the men who love them Nuclear war, What's in it for you? Fabulous small Jews Natural bust enlargement with total mind power Kitting in the fast lane Stray shopping carts, A guide to field identification Wonder if they're available on Amazon?

Old Hippie Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 "...What to say when you talk to yourself..." I could use that one. Fortunately, having a blue tooth ear piece keeps me from looking totally wacked. And everyone talks to themselves, whats the big fucking deal?
