OK guys, here's the deal...

ADDITIONALLY...

I will randomly chose one person who's bought the book to win a copy of the DVD box set "SCTV: The Best of the Early Years."

"You will laugh yourself sad at this fake catalog." - Patton Oswalt

"This book is madly funny, full of wild invention, and definitively satirizes one of the most banal and loathsome of all American institutions... BUY THIS BOOK!" - George Saunders

"Not since the days of Not the New York Times and The Journal of Irreproducible Results has the sly, surprising parody of otherwise ignored cultural detritus seemed so sharp and overdue; not since the days of the actual feral child named Kasper Hauser has humor writing been so nimble, hungry, wiry and covered in a fine cat-like fur." -- John Hodgman

"You need ALL this stuff." - Dave Barry

"This is the funniest catalog I've ever read. And they didn't even go with the old lady holding the giant 'massager.' Funny and classy." - Joel Stein

BUY SKYMAUL NOW! (http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FSkyMaul-Happy-Crap-Buy-Plane%2Fdp%2F0312357478%3Fie%3DUTF8&tag=thesoundof you-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325)

Pinkie swearing and putting a comment on that blog post.

Tell me more about it. It looks good, but I'm not quite sold. How many pages does it have and how many times will I laugh? Why does Amazon advertise a different cover? Will I feel good about buying this on Halloween? Can I wait until next Monday when I get paid again and still be entered in the running for those DVDs? When will I get my big break? What candy are you giving out tonight?


It has about 125 full-color pages, and you will laugh many times per page. In fact, that laughs-to-page ratio is part of what makes it so great. The joke isn't just the headline, it's the whole package, unlike most parodies (and particularly catalog parodies).

Amazon may have an out-of-date version of the cover, that shit happens sometimes.

It's a great thing to buy on Halloween, because it's only ten bucks, and it kickstarts the holiday giving season.

You should buy now if you want to enter the contest, but the book will still be there for you next week.

Don't wait for your big break -- make it happen. Do something that you have control of, and promote it to the hilt.

Nobody trick or treats in my scary inner-city neighborhood, so I will be buying my candy tommorow, when it is on sale.

You're a pretty good boarder when you've got something to sell

Yup!

Though I should point out that sales of the book don't benefit me... I am doing this because Kasper Hauser are my friends and I think they (and the book) are brilliant.

Have you ever clicked the link in my signature?

I did earlier today, and it made me uncomfortable.

That's so unfair.

Does it have to say "Parody" on the cover like that? :(

[Brain Stew]

I just bought this and feel sick to my stomach cuz I have no idea how much money I have in my account right now and had wasted 60 bucks on the Friday the 13th box set what the fuck.

Anyone want to buy a Friday the 13th boxset from me?
I'll sell it for 55 bucks plus the Skymaul book I just ordered after I read it.
That box is sweet. I have it too.

I can't even buy a pizza that would give me enough coupons for a free pizza.
