This is a Book by Demetri Martin (818.607 MAR)

"We hope this explanation has been helpful in answering your questions and concerns, despite how ridiculous and uninformed those questions and concerns may be." (pg. 91 a response to letters of complaint regarding Cat-astrophe: A Calendar for People Who do Not Love Cats)

If you enjoy Demetri Martin's trademark ridiculous, yet clever, sometimes almost too clever humor, you will love this book. If you don't, you won't.

A few highlights for me were: 

"Dad," a description of what it is like to be raised by the guy who was raised by wolves (pg. 69)

"Megaphone" 

        Like a lot of people, I've always enjoyed commenting on stragers' outfits. Unlike a lot of people, I now had a new megaphone to do it with. And, let me tell you, commenting on people's hilarious clothing choices through a megaphone makes it so much better.

These Guys Can Iron!

         Extreme ironing is not a sport just because you are doing a sport while you iron.  Dictionary.com defined ironing as "the act or process of smoothing or pressing clothes with a heated iron."  There is no mention of this being a dangerous sport.  Ironing by any other name is still just pressing clothes.  Some of the things they do while ironing are sports, but that doesn't change the nature of ironing itself.  Pressing wrinkles is still housework, even if it is done on a glacier.  Therefore, I would classify extreme ironing as remote housework, the ultimate multi-tasking activity. 

       I feel strongly against ironing in remote locations.  Since extreme sports in the form of lawn bowling have knocked my teeth out in the past, I would fervently resist having to participate in extreme ironing.  Also, combining two unpleasant activities doesn't add up to fun free time. (By Tory Johnson)

If you search the CGHS catalog for Wolves, you will discover everything from a Buffy the Vampire Slayer graphic novel called Wolves at the Gate, to The Great American Wolf, a straight up nonfiction book about wolves, to Red Rider's Hood, a Neal Shusterman story that is complete fiction.

Books Do Stuff When You Aren't Around

I can't decide if this is creepy or cool or both, but I do know it's some pretty impressive stop motion.
