Publisher's Synopsis
Mug & Mali set out to turn the lens of Dadaism on the impact of the 7 Deadly Sins on the 21st Century. Unfortunately, somewhere in between Gluttony and Lust they became extremely distracted, and produced another Miscellany full of semi-related articles, like ridiculous factoids; clarified malapropisms; puzzles such as Find the Differences and Fill In the Missing Finger; tongue twisters; illustrated diner jargon; rants from Chairman Mug; excerpts from Mug & Mali's collection of Illustrated Classics (Finnegans Wake, The Importance of Being Earnest, Works of Edgar Allen Poe, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Aesop's Fables, The Brothers' Grimm Fairy Tales, The Devil's Dictionary, Right Ho Jeeves, and Dante's Divine Comedy: Inferno); auto-generated artifacts in the Dada tradition (poetry, cocktail recipes, collages, recipes, jokes, and heavy metal band names); emotion-laden prints; eggcorns; ideas for up-and-coming American career choices; and, of course, articles about Wrath, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, and Pride. If you like your books sophomoric with a high picture-to-text ratio (if you know what we mean), then get this miscellaneous hodge-podge of cocktails, photo mash-ups, silly factoids, rude jokes, and emotion-laden drinking. This book is a work of puerile satire and is not affiliated with the more famous series of books written for Idiots and Dummies. In spite of the menace posed by hoards of lunatic literary agents, Mug and Mali announced this new disagreeable collection of crud. Readers will find the miscellany bewildering and the cocktails addicting - and vice-versa. "The Complete Imbecile's Guide to The 7 Deadly Sins for Dimwits" is sophomoric, yet uncouth, up-staging such lesser works as, "How to Moon Improperly!" and "Do Trousers Matter?" It's another piece of work that will keep you up nights reading and drinking. Enjoy!
