As the title suggests, this is the "leftovers"...,
By The Scenario (Roseville, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lost Deep Thoughts: Don't Fight the Deepness (Paperback)
Jack Handey got a lot of mileage out of his "Deep Thoughts" series, but I think the word "rejected" would be more fitting than "lost" for this fourth volume. I don't want to suggest that it's bad by any means, but it's definitely the most hit-and-miss of the series. Some of the passages are classic Jack Handey ("Toward the end of the Stone Age, I bet there was already a feeling that metal was just around the corner."), but many of them are downright lame ("Life is a constant battle between the heart and the brain. But guess who wins. The skeleton."). If you've got the other three volumes, this one is absolutely essential, but if you're a newbie, don't start here. Pick up "Deep Thoughts", "Deeper Thoughts", and "Deepest Thoughts".

This review is from: Lost Deep Thoughts: Don't Fight the Deepness (Paperback)
Jack Handey's at it again with his characteristic blend of pseudo-feel-good musings. "The Lost Deep Thoughts" features enormously funny observations, remembrances, hypotheses, and situations in Handey's finest style.Handey returns to his more traditional style of humorous deep thoughts in this volume, featuring briefer musings than in his magnum opus, "Fuzzy Memories." From the dangers of King Kong (kids seeing that huge genitalia), to the king and queen who loved laughing (until they remembered they had the plague), to the problems of owning a robot (having to whip it to get it to fetch the paper in cold winters), this book's loaded with wonderful, side-splitting thoughts. Jack! Please write more!

Get lost in "The Lost Deep Thoughts",
This review is from: Lost Deep Thoughts: Don't Fight the Deepness (Paperback)
I happen to like the "Deep Thoughts" seiries, so of course I like this one. Jack's way of turning a situation into a psychobabble feel good statement is hilarious and the pairing of the nature photographs reminds me of those dumb motivational posters at work - you know, the one where it's a photograph of an eagle flying over a canyon and it says something such as "Strive with all your being to fly as the eagle does fly and makes more widgets for our company to make huge profits from" or some nonsense like that. (Okay, the signs _don't_ say the widget thing.) It's vaguely comforting to read this book, to know that Jack's still out there (in more ways than one!) pondering his "deep thoughts" and sharing them with us. If you enjoyed the other books, you'll want this book.
