The Book of Gabriel
In 1999, Grim Richard began writing a book for his unborn son. His goal was simple - to pass on all the really good advice to his son before he chickened out, matured into a responsible adult or both. Funny and provocative!
From the introduction:
I began writing this book for you when you were about 16 months old and it should be read some time after you reach puberty, regardless of whether you consider me a dork at that time. I realized your life might run more smoothly if I made a list of the shortcuts, hard earned lessons and family anecdotes I’ve gathered over my vast years of wizened experience. Generally speaking, that’s what this book is about.
Specifically, it contains invaluable information about lucky pennies, using pickup lines on women, Sea Monkeys, buying drinks for the aforementioned women and, as I’ll explain more fully later, nudist camp etiquette.
Some of the advice contained will seem tragically unhip. Forgive me. I was born prior to the Internet; I can’t help it.
