The Antisocial Commentary Release Party!

So, I wrote this book, see.



It's pretty darn funny, if I do say so myself. It's got over 50 of my best posts, with all the stupid boring crap taken out and some cool non-boring crap shoved in where the boring crap used to be. It's going to retail for $11.95 plus shipping and handling, but for a very limited time you can pre-order a copy for $9.95 with FREE shipping. That's like five bucks you're saving, which is pretty much like me buying you a Grande Carmel Machiatto and a cookie. Plus I'll sign it if you want me to and I can find a friggin' pen.

The book will be officially released on August 15, but you can pre-order it NOW.

To pre-order it, just go here and fill out the form. You don't have to pay anything right now; you'll get an email when the book is available with instructions on how to pay using PayPal. It's super-easy, trust me.

PRE-ORDER ANTISOCIAL COMMENTARY NOW!

The book contains all of your favorites, including:
  • Harry Potter and the Inevitable Slide into Satanism
  • The Force is Middling in this One
  • Thee Eagle Has Landed ("What happens on Jupiter...")
  • Brilliant! (James Blunt's Songwriting Journal)
  • Mixed Fruits and Metaphors
  • Don't Make Me Angry
  • Congratulations on Your New Testicles!
And many, many more. Buy two copies and give one to the next pair of Jehovah's Witnesses that stop by. You know you want it.

And just to prove that this is an actual book and not just something I made up in Photoshop to screw with you, here's a PDF excerpt. You'll need a PDF reader (like Adobe Acrobat) to read it.

Thank you for your support. And a special thanks to all my fabulous blogger friends who helped me throw this little shindig. You guys rock. And don't be surprised if you get a little token of my appreciation in the near future....

Also, sorry to be lame, but my wife and I are taking off for a few days to celebrate our 14th anniversary, so I have to leave the party a little early. Please help yourselves to whatever's in the fridge. I'll try to drag my ass back here in time for Friday's caption contest, but it might turn into Saturday's caption contest this week.

The proctology community must have shed a collective tear (or is it discharge?) when you failed to join their ranks.

(This makes more sense if you've read the PDF file)

Well done and good luck! Is there anything about gorillas in the book?

Congratulations on the book. Do you think there's a market for an anthology of first chapters of never-completed novels? If so, I've got it made...

*wipes tear from corner of eye*

that's not for the book, you dope, it's for the fact your lovely wife has managed to put up with you for 14 years... and counting! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to the both of you! : )

Hey! Happy Anniversary dude!

I'll give you a hall pass for leaving early for this one, but that doesn't mean you don't have to stop over to my place to see the rotten things I said about you.

Have a great day Diesel and congratulations on the book AND the marriage!

Happy Anniversary to you and the lovely Mrs. Diesel. Enjoy. We'll help make sure the refreshments get - well refreshed.

And congrats also on the book, I've said some lovely (and a few not so lovely) things at my place too! Oh and you'd better get me in on the early bird discount. Put my copy aside.

Good luck and enjoy your Anniversary!

Congrats and enjoy some time off. I found you through Lis at about-every-little-thing.blogspot.com and I added you to my feed reader so I can guffaw on a regular basis. I'm off to buy the book!

Happy, happy release party! Post is up and I'm going over to pre-order my copy now.

...I hope you sell enough books to become silly rich and graduate from being "apeshit crazy" to "eccentric".

Ah... NOW I see why you came to visit me yesterday...you wanted me to come and see your new book! Well, I've got news for you, Dies...I love it! Thank you!

Happy Anniversary to Mrs. Diesel and yourself. Hope you have a terrific few days!

Good Luck with the book sales!

A book, that is interesting. We always wondered if a blog might look good as a book.
But what is even more interesting:
Will there be a release party? With nip and shrimp? Because then we will be over!

I must purchase your book because QofD told me to and I always do what she tells me to - plus I'll pretend I totally knew about this book all along and give it as a gift to my husband telling him that it is what all the cool kids are reading.

Found your site through Jami Ward. CONGRATS!!! Great stuff - I'm definitely ordering your book.

8:27 AM  
Blogger Jami said...

14 years? Wow. Really? 14? What are you putting in her orange juice that inhibits her higher brain functions for that long? Anyway, are you taking the kids or do we have to leave some beer in the fridge for them, too?

Pretty cool party, so far. Hey, where's the pool?

8:36 AM  
Blogger Diesel said...

Thanks, everybody! This is the best party EVER. And not just because I'm making almost as much money as I'm spending on beer.

I'll be around for a few hours yet (we're not leaving till this afternoon). Anybody up for limbo? Er, down for limbo?

Happy anniversary- they are definately NOT lame, nor is sneaking off early to be w' your wife.
I like the idea of giving it to the next J.W.'s that stop by the house. Is it just me, or have they (and other cults) been more active lately? Weird.

That's what I"VE been doing, D. Writing a book. Mines more of a 'how-to' about meth labs and such. So, many similarities.

Seriously, our internet's been out a month and I'm too damned lazy. Soon to be fixed.

You may be onto something. Giving copies to the JWs. Hmmm. You think it'll work? It wouldn't work on the Mormons-we'd just put it on the pile of stuff JWs give us to read for when we feel like having a good laugh!

Congratulations, Diesel! On your book AND on 14 years. Awesome job by Mrs. Diesel of recognising what a cool dude she's got. :)

I suppose I should take the book to Starbucks and purchase a Grande (white moca for me) in order to pay tribute, besides, Starbucks at lunchtime is the only place I can read...in peace.

On a serious note, again congrats on the book coming out. You deserve it.

WOW! A real live book? Congrats on it (and your great blog too). Thank you for stopping by my humble little blog. I was really shocked. :-) Thanks also for the nice comment. I'm done tweaking I think. Only so much I can do with my non-skills.

Yay for Diesel!

YEAH DADDY YOU GO BOY!!!! :0)
I'm pimping your book over at my place, even though you never came over to give me advice about the Man Nipple pondering. Dan came over! Thanks Dan!
Congratulations on the book! I pre-ordered my copy and I'll be expecting a signed copy with some lovely words about how appreciative you are that I am your #1 stalker and you hope that never changes and you and your wife will be sending me tickets to fly out and join you on your next family vacation. Or something similarly sweet like that. Do us a favor and post a continuous tally on how your sales are doing. Most of us are on the board of directors you know, and so we should be kept abreast! :0D

Any chance you're actually a girl? I don't usually find guys that funny. Well, I mean, I laugh at them and everything; it's just the with them thing that's kind of new. I'm gonna get me one of your books.

well diesel.. id be celebrating too if i was you ... this is wonderful.. and i am signed up to get my copy.....

2:25 PM  
Blogger Diesel said...

Wow. Just got back into town and saw everybody's comments. You people are going to make me cry, darn it. The wife and I had a great time. I surprised her with a Tears for Fears concert! I mean, I surprised her by taking her to a concert, not by having them play in my backyard or something. Although I hear A-Ha is available.

And the book sales are beating my expectations. Thank you, everybody! I don't think I'll post a tally of sales, but if anyone really wants to know, send me an email and I'll let you know. (Hint: I'm not going to give J.K. Rowling any real competition for a while.)

Blogger OneFullHouse said...

I can't believe I can't buy the book cause I don't know the name of one of the Marks Brothers.

Come on Diesel, throw me a bone. I'm European for Pete's Sake. Ask me about Stalin instead.

9:44 PM  
Blogger Diesel said...

OneFullHouse - You don't have Google in Europe? Try entering "Karl". He was European. I'll also accept Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo or Gummo.

It amazes me that the classic comedy of the Marx Bros has not been seen by everyone on the planet.

There should be a cable channel devoted to old classic comedy.

11:28 PM  
Blogger Uncivil said...

Congrats on the book release, and the anniversary! I pre-ordered and the link wouldn't accept Groucho's real name Julius Henry Marx, so I had to start over!LOL!!!!.
Does it cost extra if Mrs Diesel autographs it too? I was thinking maybe she could even leave me a lipstick kiss on one of the pages?
Wishing you both the best!!!!!!

I like the .pdf excerpt so much I pre-ordered the book and will add your to me blogrolls.

Not sure how I discovered your site, clicked a link on someone's blog without paying attention maybe.

Glad I did funny stuff.
