OMFG. Priceless.





My copy just showed up, It has been mighty weird seeing pics of the book out in the wild when I had not yet seen one but DAMN, Thes, Erik and Wiel's work on the design and layout of this puppy paid off, I am tripping right now.

USPS battered the box around..the book is not pristine. Arseholes.




Check your PMs.
 
I read my copy in the hospital waiting room yesterday afternoon waiting to see if I broke my ankle (I didn't, thank goodness). There I am surrounded by the bleeding and sick while laughing hysterically from reading a book with a mop on the cover. There were many strange looks.





Thes, Alan--the project is fantastic in every way. My congratulations!
 
Number 14 arrived! Too bad the box got beat up, the contents are pristine tho. Spinnin the 45 right now, effin awesome guys!


Highly recommended A + + +
 
Yes yes yes, so good.





Congrats all involved.





A big shout to Thes for making good my order after I tech-messed it up.





Owe you dudes some money or whatevers, holler when ready .

I have a few loose 45 labels. If you want, send me a PM and I can sign one and send one out.
 
Finally got to my copy, magic number 33. It's too bad the 45 wasn't produced for mass comsumption. :endorse:
 
Finished reading it last night.





Very good. Enjoyed it.


Forget the Cloudstreet, this is The Great Australian Novel.








But I wonder.


I want my wife to read it because I like her to enjoy what I enjoy, but I think she will just be grossed out. Not really into scatological humor.





I want to send it to my brother, who used to own a porn theater.


But I am wondering how much non-strutters would enjoy it.


He doesn't know that Jungle Groove means James Brown or any of the other record collecting references.


He wouldn't get the Stinky Dave and Leo Sayer jokes.





My question is, would a non-strutter enjoy?

I was telling a friend of mine who is a screenwriter about The Mop and he totally wants to read it.


He thinks the setting is an interesting one for a story plus I told him there are many hilarious characters and vignettes.

on ressurecting the original thraed!
