this can't be serious...

Janet Rudolf "I'm all about Crime Fiction, Chocolate and Team Building."

How did such a moron compose the Platonic Solid of bylines for the quintessential duchey american middle class / professional female?

Her baking book is fantastic

@2 - When I was looking for a copy of The Autobiography of Mark Twain, I came across a review that complained that there weren't any autographed copies available anywhere. Sometimes, it's just a lot easier to believe it's a joke and move on.

@2,3:

#bookstorebingo is (apparently) a tag people use for dumb stuff they overheard in a bookstore.

@6 Or in a music store? My brother-in-law was browsing in a used record store, and overheard one teen say to another, "Oh look! Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings!"

#7 Jesus, that's an old joke. How recently did your "brother-in-law" overhear this "teen" make a reference to Wings?

Obvious troll is obvious?

@8 Well, colour me gullible...he really did say it, didn't realize he was repeating an old one...doh.

@10 - Replace it with this story you heard from somebody on the internet:

When I was in high school, I overheard someone say "Oh my god! This year, Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras are on the same day!"

@11 believe it or not, several years ago there was an article in the Seattle Times about local Mardi Gras celebrations that actually did say that Mardi Gras would be on Tuesday this year.

@11 Hmph. Slog makes me feel very silly some days...
Okay, MacCrocodile, I will, in fact, mention that to the brother-in-law over the holidays, merci!

@13, if you really want to annoy the B-I-L, mention that Wings broke up 30 years ago. If you really want to rub it in, find an actual teen, if such are present, and ask them "have you ever heard of the band 'Wings'?" and try to prod their nonexistent memories with song titles -- "'Listen to What the Man Said', no? 'Let Me Roll It?', 'Junior's Farm', 'Helen Wheels' Nothing?" until he makes a move to physically attack you. Have an escape route handy.
