My boss and coworkers where I used to work in Portland, Oregon (until Friday, 22-Jan-2004) were kind enough to give me a series of books from author Tim Dorsey to help get me educated on the finer points of Florida. OK, well first off, the title of this first book denotes how I feel about now. Man, am I looking forward to getting some rest this weekend!
But the main topic of this brief post is the book, Florida Roadkill. What a hoot! ...quite irreverent (which I appreciate). Although, I must admit that this one even stretches the bounds for me ...and that takes a lot! OK, just as a teaser for anyone who might be considering Dorsey's writing, here are 2 rather priceless quotes:
...I need some more coke to handle this, she thought, and stuck a doctored spansule up her nose, snorting like a feral hog.
C'mon, this stuff is enough to make ya toss out the classics and get downright trashy :-)
...and my favorite quote so far:
...Obsessive-compulsive, manic-depressive, anal-retentive, paranoid-schizophrenic. He was believed to be the only self-inflicted case of shaken-baby syndrome.
I don't know why, but I'm suddenly feeling the urge to plant plastic pink flamingos in the yard.
