I can't believe Mildred Monday isn't in the book. Especially because of the fact that she died recently...

Who says she isn't?

Okay, fine, she's not.  I put her in the acknowledgments, though.

Newest book cover:


I think I'm going to make the "Dial & Save" words a little darker so they're not so noticeable.  I just don't know what else to write in that area.  I need to write some dialing instructions on the bottom instruction card too.  Any ideas for that?

So the book cover is going to be as aesthetically pleasing as this website?

Quit making fun of my design skills!

Here's a video of the book.  Because nothing is more exciting than a video of a book.

I still need some short quotes for the top of the chapters.  Like 4 or 5 more.  The quotes should be about the PLA, like how PLA changed your life or got you arrested or what PLA means to you.  Post them in here or email them to me.  Don't make me resort to making shit up!

Also, if anyone wants to submit some artwork for the book, that would be awesome.  There's 3 illustrations already, by RTF, 3rdworm and some other guy.  http://www.phonelosers.org/book/ has a list of most of the chapters, so you should make something related to that content.  I may have to reject your art if I don't think it'll work in the book, so prepare to feel suicidal when I tell you I can't use it.

I come to the PLA for one thing. That is, to waste the fuck out of my time. If this isn't in the book, so help me Geddy Lee, I will find your children, and tell them you aren't nice to your fans.

Or

Come to the forums. We are super kind to the new fuckers. Just don't be stupid, and you're fine.

Oh, and can you personalize the books?
Atonal apples.

What, like sign them?  Sure, I can do that.  Most of the preorders have told me to sign them.  I'll probably be a dick and sign over some text so you can't read it, though.

You can't fool me, I want you to sign mine in invisible ink!

Nothing has changed my life more than the PLA. Reading tons of uninformative and useless articles while listening to RBCP ramble on about irrelevant topics in the phone-show has wasted my life. I have gained over 270+ pounds while sitting here at the computer but I must admit, I owe it all to the PLA.

Nobody has yet.  So far I've deleted around 500 messages of people pressing touch tones.
