Walletboy* wrote a book

Everyone's favorite sitcom star in the best damn sitcom noone ever watched ('Get a Life') has written a book.

That's right, Chris Elliott has written a thrilling historical novel titled 'The Shroud of the Thwacker'.

I'm only about 40 pages into it, but it's pretty funny already. Katherine's brother Christian is a pretty good present picker-outer.

Another funny thing is watching American Football on Asian ESPN, which I am doing now (rerun of Pittsburgh vs. Denver...noone tell me how it ends up). Because it's a foreign game here, they have all these 'NFL Rules' info thingies where they explain just what the heck is going on. For instance "the line of scrimmage is the place on the field where the ball is placed. Each team, 11 on a side, line up on either side of the line of scrimmage. The players are separated by the length of the ball, and cannot move across the line of scrimmage until the ball is hiked by the Center to the quarterback.....etc.

Pretty entertaining. But not THAT entertaining, so I'm going to bed.

But not before I read some more of the book.
