Happy Birthday...Blah, Blah, Blah [Hardcover]

Timothy Mikkelsen (Author), Phyllis Wright-Herman (Author), MikWright Ltd. (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2000

Laugh! Go ahead and laugh--out loud! It could be the hair, it could be the clothes, or it might be the fact that your family and friends closely resemble these.

When Tim Mikkelsen and Phyllis Wright-Herman started creating goofy greeting cards, they thought, "Let's just say what people want to say, but won't. Let's provoke, nudge, and push our skewed sense of humor to the masses and see what happens." To their wildest amazement, "the big goof" caught on--and now it's on fire.

Happy Birthday...Blah, Blah, Blah is a collection of the best of the best on birthdays. Sometimes you love 'em and sometimes, well, there could be worse things--you could be dead.

Remember, it's important to laugh, but it's imperative to laugh at ourselves--everyone else is. Enjoy!

Very funny books but they have many of the same photos and captions as other Mik Wright books.

...

With "happy birthday...blah, blah, blah," these two (one with a name and one without) have answered prayers all across America for a perfect, inexpensive birthday gift. (I'm not sure the humor would translate to some other countries, but you never know.)

This book is irreverent, funny and occasionally just a tad well, er...sick.

A hardback full of pictures with clever blurbs, this little book is such a delight it should be passed around, so do your friends a favor and leave it unsigned. That way they can recycle it for someone else's birthday gift.

Oh, I'm sorry. That wasn't very nice. Here's better advice: Read the book to brighten your own day. Sign it. And tell your friend to buy another one for their friend's birthday. It isn't nice to be such a cheapskate and anyway, Tim and Phyllis need the royalties...

5.0 out of 5 stars I was quite moved by your mother's rendition of "feelings", August 21, 2000

This review is from: Happy Birthday...Blah, Blah, Blah (Hardcover)

This is one of the funniest humor books I've ever seen. I have been buying the greeting cards for a few years, and when I saw this book in a local bookstore, I read every single page. I was crying from laughter by the end.
