This is pretty much right on about the state of things in our Great State. People from Outside will scratch their heads at somethings, but let me tell you, it's all (just about) true! A great memory for a great state, or a good thing to send out when you are just tired of trying to explain the better things of life on the Last Frontier. Long live Spam...

From the moment I opened the sleazy pages of this political and moral incorrectness, I was moved. I was also in the bathroom at the time, but anyway,I was amazed at the humor , it's unique, clever and inventive. Something someone might expect if you visited a class full of third graders who were mutants, childish humor expressed in such an intellegent way, to make the stonchiest old republican titter. It really captures the crazy lifestyle of those isolated Alaskans and endears them to my heart. Because Iam one by the way has no bearing on this review...I'll be the first to tell you there are some real home grown stinkers come outa here ... Anyway, if you've got a funny bone grease it up and sit back with this book, it's got enough stories of fun, when passed on, It'll make you the highlight of many parties to come!! I highly recommend this creature for reading. A million laughs!! Thanks!!, Diva that digs it.

If you've seen the Whale-fat follies in Anchorage Alaska, you need this book as a remembrance of your surreal pilrimage to their...their...club. If you haven't been to the show, well, the book is off the wall so far, the pages hardly have time to stick to the latex before hitting the floor. Their show is political satire, schtick and delightfully bawdy. The former Miss Anchorage often steals the show with her Wagnerian physique and her drop-dead comic timing. Buy the book, but even better, see the show, then buy the book.

The author, Mr. Whitekeys, demonstrates yet another facet of his wildly diverse talents. How one man can single handedly summarize all that is good about Alaska in a brief pictoral volume leaves me...speechless. I can't wait to visit the Fly By Night Club and see the book acted out in life!!

Back when I lived in Alaska, Mr. Whitekeys' Alaska Bizarre was the perfect bathroom read. It does a great job of documenting the oddities of life in Alaska. While some of the stuff is a little dated, it is still a highly enjoyable read.

My only complaint is my copy of the book isn't very well bound. After only one read through, the pages started to come away from the spine. I find this strange, since my original copy (which as been lost to the sands of time) lasted many years.

Highly recommended.

I read this book and was amazed at the bizareness of it, so I had to see the show! It is everything they say; where do these guys get their ideas? Of course, I had to try the coconut beer battered Spam.......delicious!

I must read for anyone thinking of coming to Alaska!
