    Okay kids, fantasy time. It's time to bask in the greatest people on the planet for once: us. I said this on the drunk thread a lil' bit ago:

    I honestly think that if you took the best writing and musings from people on this board, you could get a published humour book out of it like The Phat Phree did.

    The question is, what board members would you want to write in it and what would the theme be? It would have to be original. Maybe we could make fun of people or something.


    A rep I recieved right away:

    That should be a thread.

    So, why not? I mean...what if? There are many-a-talented people on here. Other websites have done it.

    Focus: If TiB was to publish a book, what would it be about and who would you want writing it?

    Yeah... I got a thread denied once because I had a typo in the title.

    "Hairiest varginas you've ever seen" had more problems than a simple typo.


    Anyway, I don't really know what theme the book could be besides "a bunch of random funny stuff." The best posts around here are pretty hilarious, but we're kind of all over the map. Unless we get suapyg to write a book about how to make fancy benches. Then we'll all just share the profits.

    Best of the 'Ask a whatever' threads. A series of informal interviews with whores, strippers, Free masons, migrants, cam girls, and functional alcoholics. That'd be awesome.

    Ballsack's Guide to Wedding Planning edited by DixieBandit would be a literary achievement unlike anything we have yet encountered. Especially if Scootah writes the honeymoon section.

    I vote we have Scootah write the honeymoon section, and then just pull like 8 random sentences out of it, context free, throw the rest of the honeymoon section away, and then randomly place the sentences throughout the rest of the book.

    "For dinner, it would be wise to consider offering various options, as some guests might have-- It's important, when applying pressure to the throat, to push forward with the entire hand rather than squeezing, which can lead to discomfort and bruising-- food allergies."

    Until they invent a way to put .gifs of girls in leather being tied up and eaten out into a paperback, I'm not quite sure how successful we might be.

    We could make the paper soggy.

    Does anybody know how scratch-n-sniff works?

    Since this board's inception, I've considered Beefy Phil and Crown Royal to be the funniest members here. Honorable mentions go to Aetius for having the best wit on TIB and Nom Chompsky's story-telling abilities.

    One thing I like to do every once in a while is copy/paste a really funny quote I see on here and share it on Facebook, quoting it by "Anonymous." I dare not tell them about this place, though. That's why when anyone asks where I saw the quote, I just say, "Oh, uh...Reddit."

    A couple of examples:

    As for a hypothetical topic, I'd say that a collection of general life musings about nothing in particular, written by a group of strangers, would still be vastly more interesting than this.

    I had one or two titles in mind:

    "Life Lessons in Being An Attention Whore"

    "Hipsters and Other Mistakes of Society"

    "I'm Fine. Everyone Else is the Problem."

    * could a mod please be kind enough to change that incredibly annoying typo in the thread title to "seen"? Thanks.

    BP and I could always writing a "Duelling Pianos" review on Armageddon.

    Don't forget the pizza manager!


    I think scootah could sell a fairly large volume of content if marketed well - 'Inside the life of a fetishist' or something like that - but then he might give up all his indie cred in the S&M community, and it'd never be the same.


    I was thinking you could probably write a serious sociology paper on one of the drunk threads, but there's no such thing as a serious sociology paper.

    Black Jesus is my favorite writer here, followed by Crown and Nom Chompsky.

    No site makes me laugh aloud like this one.

    Where's toytoy88? His posts alone would make a great book.

    Probably jerking off to Dixie's post describing a monster truck rally.

    I'd like to see a book on dating/marriage/sex by several folks on here. I'd like to say it would be a 'do it yourself' guide, but I've got that covered.

    The TiB Guide to Relationships: from Do-it-yourself to Schadenfreude, seems like an appropriate title.

    I actually think a book that just fetures "thread like" chapters would sell. Take a few of the all star threads, smash them together in a book, and voila we have our first work done. After an audience gets to know everyone as characters we hit them with TiB part two: Drunk Threads.

    But then again what do I know? Outside of musings on a fucked up family life, I really don't have to much to say.

    I could be the boring filler you'd need to up the page count.

    I think we could get a series of books going. Like those "worst case scenario" books.

    Worst-Case Scenario Survival Guide: Drugs and Alcohol by dixiebandit69 and ballsack4.0 (eds: jennitalia and bewildered)
    Worst-Case Scenario Survival Guide: Fuckin' by scootah and Nom Chompsky
    Worst-Case Scenario Survival Guide: Getting a Less-Fat Ass by lhprop1 and shimmered
    Worst-Case Scenario Survival Guide: The Goddamned Wilderness by Nettdata and dewercs
    Worst-Case Scenario Survival Guide: Killing A Man With Your Bare Hands by BrianH and diablo.
