In Which I Need Your Attention, Please

May I have your attention, please?

*ahem*

Gopher Dick.



That is all.

P.S. I found this lovely treasure in a thrift shop, but I couldn't bring myself to purchase it without snickering like a pubescent teenage boy. And yes, for the inquiring minds, it's a children's western novel.

Seeing that book would probably reveal my true maturity level. When I was working in a bookstore, someone kept radioing over the headsets about a book called, "What Your Poop Says About You?" and every time they would say something about it, I would grin like an idiot. At least I wasn't the only one, one of my managers was nearby and he was laughing too, lol

Miss Grace said...

That should totally be the name of a blog.

Aunt Becky said...

YOU DIDN'T BUY THIS? Badass, I'm ASHAMED.

Lola said...

Um, there's no excuse for not purchasing Gopher Dick. WTF, man?

Daddy Files said...

It may be a book, but isn't "Gopher Dick" also what most people in Maine eat for lunch?? ;-)

Kat said...

My inner 14 year old boy is smiling like he just found his dad's stash of Playboys.

Nej said...

It would be displayed prominently at my house, were I to find it. :-)

Laura said...

You should have bought it! That book goes for like $50 + on ebay... yeah I was bored... I looked it up :)

Have you seen it's companion?

Gopher Pussy?

That's right. I have the mind of a twelve year old boy.

The Social Frog said...

Yeah, that is a very interesting title for a book and a childrens one at that!

MIT Mommy said...

You have my attention.

Is that sort of like 'Moby Dick' except furry and small?

I can't believe you passed on that book! Well, at least you took a picture of it for all of us.

Chris Mancini said...

Somewhere, someone reading your blog just went, "Dude, I got the name for our band..."

Lana said...

i love that you asked so politely for attention. did you read any of the story? i really want to believe that it had nothing at all to do with real gophers and their dicks.

Moonspun said...

Oh and I wanted a picture of it!

Roberto said...

Hah. Or how about ordering spotted dick whilst in England? Tasty though it may be, it takes a lot of will power not to giggle when saying "I'd love some spotted dick, please."

Love Lila: What does ones poop say?

Miss Grace: It really should be.

Aunt Becky: *hangs head in shame*

Lola: I'll go back and get it this weekend. I doubt someone else will have snagged it up before then.

Daddy Files: The only people in Maine that eat Gopher Dick are the people visiting from Cape Cod.

Kat: I smiled, too, when I saw this.

Nej: That's a good idea.

Laura: Damn! Now I have to go back and get it.

Joy Is Everywhere: You and me both.

The Social Frog: I guess it meant something different back when it was written.

MIT Mommy: I would imagine so, yes.

Employee No 3699: I'm going to see if I can snag it up this weekend.

Chris Mancini: You know, you're probably right.

Lana: I don't think it did. It'd be some kind of weird if it was, though.

Moonspun: Of a real gopher dick?

Roberto: I just couldn't do it.

Cape Cod Gal said...

It is a good thing I wasn't there with you. We would have gotten into all sorts of trouble.
