There's more to Dave Barry than "boogers," of course--he's the McDonald's of American humor. Three--and this is the key--when you open one of his books, you know exactly what you're going to get: "Eugene is located in southwest Oregon, approximately 278 billion miles from anything." "If you're looking for a hearty entree that (1) is related to spiders; (2) is descended from a worm; and (3) has mutant baby-poopers walking around on its lips; then you definitely want a lobster." This collection of columns--sure to serve billions and billions--is called Dave Barry Is from Mars and Venus. Two, he's everywhere. . (Strangely, it isn't a parody of John Gray's series, even though there's nobody better equipped to do one.) Inside you'll find the same genial, absurd fantasies, riffs on clippings that Barry insists he is not making up, and bizarre personal adventures that are his trademark. One, nearly everybody likes him. Do you like hamburgers? Of course--and you'll like this book, too. "Booger." In case you're wondering, that's the title of a winning entry from a parody contest that Dave Barry's flagship paper, the Miami Herald, ran in 1989It is rich with gems of truth in every section along with the opportuntunity to evaluate our current behavior and the challenge to become a Spirited Leader not just a manager or a Leader.. I can't spoil people. It has guided me to understanding what constitute a real estate and how it can be handled. It basics tells the kids which body parts are their privates and says they have a right to say no if they don't want touched/hugged/kissed. There are a few places where the pages are "wrinkled" (looks like paper does when it gets jammed in a copier). This "globalization of war"-doctrine is, according to Michel Chossudovsky, professor of Economics and Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG) in Montreal, Canada, the centerpiece of America's hegemonic project in order to gain world domination. The transparency pages are a perfect way to illustrate the ‘mixing’ process because young readers can see the “before and after”. I am lending this book to a coworker tomorrow, which is why only now am I rating it. Lots and lots of hot, steamy, graphic sex. As a former lawyer, professor Craver has been there himself. Believe it or not, I actually got choked up reading that part. This is awesome. Full disclosure: I finished the four-book series before writing this review so I encourage you to check out all of them. It lacked depth and was too general for me to gesychronized swim team ("Picture a bunch of elegant swans swimming with a flailing sea cow") or reliving the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving ("We've decided to obliterate your culture, but first may we try the stuffing?"), Dave Barry proves that one man can make a difference--by having the guts to answer the questions few people bother to ask:
¸ What makes people want to eat animals they would never consider petting?
¸ Where do the World's Three Most Boring People meet?
¸ Why is Colorado freezing so many human gonads?
¸ And just how does Oprah have the power to turn a 1957 Hotpoint toaster manual into a #1 bestseller?. Whether he's splashing with the U.S. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, bestselling author, and Wheel of Fortune contestant Dave Barry exposes the shattering truth
