The Grilled Cheese Madonna

Hey kids,

Mostly, when I post something here, I try to tickle your funny bone with something humorous about everyday life. But, this time I’d thought I would share something cool instead.

Chris Cihlar, author of, “The Grilled Cheese Madonna and 99 Other of the Weirdest, Wackiest, Most Famous eBay Auctions Ever,” is selling the first ever copy of his book on eBay.

This book is very well written, and a total blast to read. But what’s REALLY cool is that this first ever copy has a bunch of signatures from the various people that are mentioned in the book; the one’s who have achieved fame through their own personal auctions throughout the years on eBay. To top it off, all the proceeds from the auction goes to charity.

Chris and I have been in contact for over a year regarding this book and I do have to say that “The Grilled Cheese Madonna,” should be regarded as the definitive collection of eBay wackiness (myself included). So if you are looking for an altruistic purchase, by all means bid on this book. If you cannot afford to bid on this signed original, you still owe it to yourself to pick up a regular copy.

FYI, Chris isn’t paying me a damn thing to say this. He's a talented author with a great book for a worthy cause. I wouldn’t be posting it if I didn’t feel it was worthwhile.

Just buy his damn book. (And mine, while you’re at it. :-))

New Things Happening

I wanted to refrain from posting anything until after April Fool’s Day. I guess I was afraid I wouldn’t be taken seriously. (Insert laugh track here.)

There are a few things going on right now that I am very excited about.

The first thing is that author Chris Cihlar’s new book “The Grilled Cheese Madonna and 99 other of the Weirdest, Wackiest, Most Famous eBay Auctions Ever” will be coming out in May. I received an advanced copy of the book and I have to say that, not only is it extremely entertaining, it is meticulously researched. I gotta tell you, people are freaking nuts. Pick up a copy of it. There are banners on this site for it, so check it out. (While you are at it, buy my book as well.) Kudos to you Chris!

The second thing on the list is I have gotten a lot of emails asking for a spoken word version of my book. I am very encouraged by the responses I have gotten from different record labels and people, so I am happy to say that this is in the preliminary stages and a CD version should be out later this year. I’ll keep you posted.

Last, and perhaps the thing I am most excited about, is Dr. Manuel Gomes, a licensed therapist specializing in sexual health and relationships, and I are teaming up for a new entertaining, informative and controversial advice column. It has already been picked up by a newspaper in the Pacific Northwest, and hopefully will be coming to a paper near you. More details will follow as soon as I receive them.

Motorcycle season is upon us, so I just wanna tell all you riders to keep the rubber side down.

Later,
