If you couldn’t tell by now, I love writing lists. The more random, the better. When we were still living in Phoenix, I picked up a copy of “Mountain Man Dance Moves: The McSweeney’s Book of Lists“. I can’t remember who suggested the book so go ahead, get offended whoever you are.
Sunday, after a busy day of avoiding a freelance project, I picked up Mountain Man Dance Moves: The McSweeney’s Book of Lists and was cracking up so bad as I decided to read Mack a few.
Here, let a few points from the lists speak for themselves as to why you should get a copy:
Signs Your Unicorn is Cheating on You
by Christopher Monks (page 11)Seems emotionally distant and uninterested
Wears fancier tail ribbons
Every time you say the word “magic” is sighs forlornly.
Is making a movie with Angelina Jolie.
. . .
Oh snap.
And what is more awesome than unicorns? Did you say dinosaurs?
Eight Reasons Why a Tyrannosaur Caught in Tornado Is a Funny Thing to Think About
by Austin Allen (page 37)1. The tiny, flailing arms.
2. The helpless “RARRRRRR!”
3. The angry, wild-eyed expression.
4. That dinosaur with the sail on his back floats by and he’s just cruisin’.
5. The landing.
. . .
I could keep listing off the reasons why these lists were having be roaring with laughter as tears came forth from my eyes but seriously, aren’t those examples from a few lists enough?

I ha always thought that a kid with big ears in a strong wind would be fun to watch…
i lurve lurve McSweeneys and everything they do
their lists are awesome
haha, agreed. Especially if it goes dumbo style and the kid could fly.
I could not agree more. I was cracking up so bad when I was reading it. I finally had to put the book away since it was hindering the productivity level around the apartment.
