Geeky Giveaways: The Quotable Douchebag [Quirk Books]

September 10, 2009 in Books,Contests,Philadelphia with 14 Comments

I adore Quirk Books and love knowing that they base themselves here, in Philadelphia. I also love that every now and again, I get a little surprise in the ol’ Geekadelphia mailbox, thanks to their wonderful PR team. Pride & Prejudice & Zombies found its way into my home (and my heart) not too long ago, as well as a wealth of other books that we still need to review on here.

The Quoteable Douchebag, as compiled by author Margaret McGuire (a Philadelphian!) is out now, and is a hilarious collection of incredibly stupid remarks from politicians, musicians, movie stars, athletes, and more. While a handful of people actually don’t belong in the book and, I believe, are unfairly included (Pete Wentz, for one), there are some truly outstanding gems that are worthy of inclusion. Notably the wealth of quotes from David “The Hoff” Hasselhoff. There are many dying children out there whose last wish is to meet me. Ah, David. You’re a real class act.

Rounding off at 144 pages, and running your pockets about $13 at the bookstore, The Quotable Douchebag is an excellent and hilarious addition to your coffeetable, and will no doubt, inspire plenty of conversation.

Now, speaking of conversation… want to win a copy of the book? I’ve got mine right here, primed for a giveaway. Update: Just leave a comment! We’ll randomly pick one of you and send you the book at the end of next week.

    I need this book to feel better about myself. I’d type more, but I’m busy crying…

    I’d say give it to Nichole but that would be mean…or would it? :)

    I like “quotes” and “phrases” and stuff like that. Please advise.

    I would like to see the word “douchebag” experience a resurgence in the common parlance.

    I’d like this book, and to Tim I think “Tool” as done a nice job as a replacement word.

    It’s nicer sounding while retaining the same feeling, and it caries the added bonus of being able to be said around the sensitive types without too much (if any) backlash.

    I think your a douchebag for not giving the details on how to win the book. People are just posting but there are no instructions on how to win it.

    Good work!
