Book Updates (20% off through 11:59 pm EST on Friday, July 15th)

Well, upon reading through the proof copies of my two new books, I noticed a couple minor errors here and there. Along with fixing those, I decided to condense the books somewhat (10 pages on one and 12 on the other), to weed out a couple things I found to be less funny than the rest and to also help lower prices a bit.

Both revised versions of the books are now available at http://www.lulu.com

The Kind-Hearted Smartas* (uncensored version) is now $14.40 (20% off from $18.00) and at 278 pages. That's for the paperback. It can also be downloaded for $3.60 (20% off from $4.50).

As the title of this blog states, through this Friday, July 15th, the books will be an extra 20% off, which would lower the price of the before-mentioned book to $11.52 for the paperback and $2.88 to download. To get this extra 20% off, type the following code when ordering the book: BIG305

I'll now rundown the prices for my three other books:

The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck (censored version): $14.00 (down from $17.50) and at 260 pages. That's the paperback edition. To download the book, it would cost $3.20 (down from $4.00)

Including the extra 20% off through Friday, the paperback would cost $11.20 and the downloadable version would cost $2.56. Again, the code to attain this deal is BIG305

Those are my two most recent books. For my first, Seasons Come, People Grow: A Poetic Journey, the paperback costs $10.56 (down from $13.20) and to download, it costs $2.20 (down from $2.75). It's 184 pages long.

Adding in the extra 20%, those prices would be: $8.45 for the paperback and $1.76 to download. Once again, for the deal, type in the code BIG305

Finally, for my second book, The Serious Scale of Sarcasm: More Balanced Than a Drunken High-Heeled Clown On a Tight Rope, the paperback version usually costs $12.64 (down from $15.80) and to download the book, it costs $2.60 (down from $3.25). This book is 236 pages long.

With the extra 20% discount through Friday, the paperback costs $10.12 and the downloadable version costs $2.08. One more time...to receive this extra discount, type BIG305 as the code when ordering it.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...
