Book Description

December 2001
They would save the wicked from the pious, the rich from the poor, torch the rain forest and eat their shoes if necessary. Yes, Dennis and his pal Dave are off on the greatest and wackiest adventure of all time: a cross-country motorcycle trip begun from the frozen Midwest on the first day of winter.

For Dennis it's a way to recover from being dumped by the peerles Shirley Kozlowski. For Dave, a way to show off to a grateful world his immense and supreme boldness.

Along the way they wage desperate battles against humanity's most descipable enemies: poets, wine connoisseurs, shoe sniffers, newspaper editors, vegetarians and square dancers. The escape from car-trunk brain surgeons, creative writers and other bizarre and creepy people. And they unravel some of life's deepest mysteries, like why old people walk slow and why some people don't wear underwear!

Our two heroes aren't geographically ignorant; they know they must head south in the winter in order to avoid freezing to death. But to their shock, it's cold in Texas in the winter, too. So they devise a clever plan to stay warm: Blubberizing.

And what is blubberizing? Smearing themselves with thin layers of bacon grease! But the plan backfires when hordes of people who are too poor to buy their own lard, take them prisoner and scrape the grease off their bodies.

Includes in this insanely funny books is the epic poem, I Got Stinky Feet:

I don't know much 'rithmetic.
I can't spell retreet.
I can't fly a fighter place,
But I got stinky feet!

I Got Stinky Feet is a brilliant mix of comedy and knife-edge satire that rips the world's snobs, slobs, losers and idiots. Like Mark Twain's timeless classic, Roughing It, I Got Stinky Feet's satire, humor, and outlandish stories and characters is humorous fiction at its best.


Editorial Reviews

Review

An adventure story that contains wit and oddball wisdom -- Albuquerque Journal, April 7, 2002

Hilarious ... gut-busting. Just about everyone you can think of gets reamed in these pages. A breezy ride. -- Weekly Alibi, March 28, 2002

From the Author

I've followed only a few rules in I Got Stinky Feet; they are to make people laugh, to rip the world's hypocrites and idiots and to avoid boring people to death.

If you're looking for "literature" by college professors about the angst of turning 30 and the unfairness of having to work for a living, read something else. But if you want to laugh like a maniac, if you want to come away feeling that you'll get through this whole mess, buy I Got Stinky Feet.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am spitting coffee, April 30, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: I Got Stinky Feet (Paperback)
...through laughter. Gut-busting funny and no holds barred. This is an adventure story of the first order, that doesn't let reality or logic get in the way. This is the kind of story that makes me miss the U.S. ... not the landscapes, but the insane and irreverent imagination.

5.0 out of 5 stars Planning your next trip? This is your vacation guide!, June 25, 2002
This review is from: I Got Stinky Feet (Paperback)
As a fellow co-worker of the author, who listens to this man's contagious laughter and well-versed opinions day-in and day-out, I knew I was in for a ride when I purchased this book.

Little did I know that it would be a motorcycle ride in the dead of winter. That was just the beginning. From cranky bus passengers to a car trunk surgeon, this book is a true representation of what makes life worth living.

Forget the tame, rebellious nature of two women driving off the Grand Canyon, Dennis and Dave are out to soak up the little pleasures of their soul, while wreaking havoc on the misguided people of this world.

I am already making plans this winter to buy a motorcycle, eat stale bread, drink lots of whiskey and head to Mexico. You will too after you read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Raising Arizona" meets "Easy Rider", May 28, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: I Got Stinky Feet (Paperback)
This is a hilarious read - tangental, exponential, coaxial - no wait - use of words like this could find me in a tree (the book explains - without giving anything away).

Full disclosure: I work with Dennis... but hardly know him - different departments. He told me he wrote a book - and I thought OK, I'll buy it. I did not expect to be cracking my ribs in bed every night - laughing out loud, then wheezing the slow gasping yucks out my sinuses - as my wife was now long asleep.

If you've not seen the movie "Raising Arizona", this review may not make sense - but if you have, you get it. Raising Arizona doesn't let itself get caught in Hollywood formula for comedy. But the formula for I GOT STINKY FEET ... formula? What's a formula?

Best wet-eyed laughing read since PJ O'Rourke's "Give War a Chance".
