I bought this book for my actor-friend Robert. He needed a few laughs and distractions between doses of AZT, and needless to say, it was a complete success. Luckily he was confined to a robe...otherwise he would've busted his pants laughing.

He's no longer with us, but those days reading this book were some of his happiest.

Silence = Death

Tolstoy, Hemmingway, Kafka, and now adding another name to the ilk of these great writers, Norton. This book is phenomenal. Lil Jimmy is the greatest. Who else but him can make AIDS and kid touching warm our hearts. I say that this meaty-breasted zilch is my hero, and if you can find the time Jim, i'd love to go under the porch with you and get a little meep meep...give me those ribs you.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLil jimmy is a silly goose, but a great story teller! Thats terrible, I'm sorry.

The day Lil Jimmy passed away, a small piece of my heart died and was left empty. Why did he have to sleep with prostitutes unprotected? Why did he have to pick up trannies with butterscotch buns? And why god, why, did AIDS take him away from us! Jimmy use to do these impressions and you would think that is was the real person. He was so talented and loved by the street walker community. This book is inspirational and makes you understand who the true Jimmy Norden was. I remember seeing Lil Jimmy in New York one day during lunch. He and his buddy Sam were sharing some Elios pizza bagels and fried fish sticks. Sam is a "special" person, and Jimmy took the time to share lunch with him. That is the true Jimmy. God Bless Jimmy......

I listen to the Ramone and Frunkkkkkis show all the time and when this gentleman comes on the air I always have a good laugh! One time when discussing eating cake Jim Norton said: "Moment on the lips, lifetime on the hips!" And my chums and I all had a nice chuckle. He is also the inventor of "Cat noise thurdseey's" (Not to be confuseed with phone call Thursday's) in which listeners phone the show and give their best cat noise impersonation! It's swell! James was also heckling a hooker from his car once and before he could get away, she took off his glasses and broke them. Jimmy, nearly blind, was forced to consult a policeman for help. Also, Steve from Yellowstone never sounded so funny as when he told Marge from the "Little Animal Shelter" to clutch her chest and fall face first into a litter box!

What a great read while your waiting for your warsh to finish!

When I saw that the audio book was read by Jim Norton himself I added that to my shopping cart along with the hardback book.

If you're a faithful listener to the Opie and Anthony show, then you have heard some of the stories before and will understand how important it is to hear Jim's tone of voice when the stories are being told again on these CDs.

If you want to laugh out loud (Jim's favorite LOL) then buy this CD set or the book. Better yet - buy them both and show your support for one of the funniest and honest men out there.

Remember to listen to XM radio, Channel 202 for Opie and Anthony with Jim Norton and Ron & Fez. Hours of good, adult-oriented talk show entertainment. Thank you guys for the laughs! Good job on the book Jim.

jim norton is one of the most intelligent and hilarious child rapists this country has ever known. take your money and give it to him so that it will become his money.

In memory of the late great James Norton I read this book under my porch with a neighbor boy after a game of monster rain. James you will be love and you will be missed. RIP FFFFFFRRRRRUUUUUUMMMMPPPPPKKIIIISSSSS

Jim gives a very stern warning at the beginning of the book and it's something that really needs to be adhered to. If you are a fan of the Opie & Anthony Show & of L'il Jim Norton or just a fan of edgy self-deprecating humor, you'll love this book. I've been Ell-O-Elling from the warning on. If you're a stick in the mud, you should read this as well - you might actually do something you haven't done in awhile - laugh without worrying about your face breaking. MEOW

The weather was bad here (monster rain), so I read the book in one day! I am going to let my girlfriend Deb read it next. I am a fancy man and need fancy books, and this was perfect!
