Book Description

March 26, 2002
So, you’re getting a little older. You’ve lost the slimness of youth and the smoothness of youth and the hair of youth and the youngness of youth, and you’re starting to wonder what happened to that handsome, happenin’ guy who used to make the ladies swoon–or at least not run away screaming. Well, never fear! Red Green and the Possum Lodge are here to invite you to lower the bar and pull up a stool. They’ll make you feel proud of yourself for your many achievements–like the fact that you’ve never killed anyone on purpose, you’ve never had an extramarital affair with a supermodel, and you never forget to comb the four or five remaining hairs on your head. Hey, it’s not how good you look–it’s how hard you try!

Sure, Red Green is the international movie-star mastermind behind the blockbuster megahit Duct Tape Forever!–but that doesn’t mean he can’t take time out from Hollywood to remind you that you have to grow old, but you never have to mature! In Duct Tape is Not Enough: A Humorous Guide to Midlife, Red Green provides all the wit and wisdom you need to make it through the golden years. You’ll find out what’s wrong with successful people, why never to laugh at a tax auditor, and how to survive your midlife crisis. For starters, step away from those rollerblades–NOW.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem on each page!, November 10, 2002
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Red Green's Duct Tape Is Not Enough (Paperback)
214 pages full advice, in the form of one or two page articles. These pebbles of knowledge, these gems of wisdom, these lumps of wit will help you with all kinds of questions you might have. Questions like; When should I sut up? Do gifts have a message? What expressions give away my age? And much much more! There are also quotes of the day on every few pages. All in a lovely and colorful paperback cover. You might say, "But how can I pay for such a book? Do I sell my blood? Can I trade in my first born? Do I have to go to Canada?" HA! Don't worry, the book is well within your means, new or used! Buy it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun read, explains the middle ager, April 21, 2003
This review is from: Red Green's Duct Tape Is Not Enough (Paperback)
There are people like me out there, people who are not old. We get a bad rap, which is fine, but then again, we're not old, so we don't really care. However, in this book everyone can get and enjoy a dose of worldly wisdom from Steve Smith, the head honcho from the Public Television show "The Red Green Show."

I admit, I almost didn't give this book five stars. At times the jokes are stale, and the various essays can sometimes be short. However, the total entertainment value is maintained. And really, aren't old people supposed to have stale jokes? ;-)

Sarcasm aside, Steve Smith has a sharp mind and makes great points about getting older. And in a way it helps show us young people that getting old is not something we can dodge, but that it can be done with optimism. Get it, read it, share it.
