Title: Shameless book promotion (fatty/EMAW/college football related)
Post by: davegladow on March 23, 2012, 03:38:30 PM
Hey guys,

I used to post under the handle WeirdRobertsFoamFinger here, as well as under PurpleOrange and Mr. Bigglesworth on other boards -- man, I've been bbsing awhile).  Well anyway, I left, partly because I was in a pretty rough place and didn't want to add arguments over slow-cookers to my laundry list of daily challenges, but mostly because I wasn't working on my silly book as much as I wanted to be (there are only so many hours in a day to procrastinate). 

So anyway, I'm putting the finishing touches on said book and this whole Fatty thing happens, and it really just puts things in perspective, doesn't it?  I mean, here's a guy who gets EMAW better than anyone, and I'm trying to write a book about my EMAW-ness, and I just think, man, this guy needs to be a part of it.  So now he is.

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdesmond.yfrog.com%2FHimg878%2Fscaled.php%3Ftn%3D0%26amp%3Bserver%3D878%26amp%3Bfilename%3D1ocbr.jpg%26amp%3Bxsize%3D640%26amp%3Bysize%3D640&hash=8b05e1f927bf5ddbaa6f02278ce5686eed237504)

The book, Eyeblack Odyssey, is now for sale. 

http://davegladow.com/eyeblack-odyssey/ (http://davegladow.com/eyeblack-odyssey/)

It's about college football, and it's about EMAW.  If you think those things have merit, take a look.

But regardless, I'm back because life is short, and I think goEMAW.COM does a fantastic job of defending EMAW.  This is my contribution.  Hopefully the first of many.

Friend of goEMAW,

Dave

I turned my phone sideways (landscape view) and it flipped the image so it was still sideways.

So frustrating.

Thinking I'm somewhere between fanning and well, weird robert's foam finger, in the pantheon of EMAW greatness.   :embarrassed:

But I'm working my way up!   :driving: (<-- I think I missed this little guy the most of anything here.)

I would've missed the great EMAW passion and spirit.  The inside jokes, sarcasm, and sense of community.  Breaking news and the random subjects on the CF board.  Friends, I would definitely miss my friends.

But your list is :driving:.

Nah, I'm good.  And was kidding about the  :driving: thing.  Naturally, I missed  :combofan: most of all.

You would do well to mention to my minions that your book talks about me.  They eat out of my hand for eff sakes.

Yes, Steve Dave minions, Steve Dave (and goEMAW itself) earned a mention.  It involves his skill at ranking players based on their attractiveness and how that relates to being a fan.  I get philosophical about it.  Elite stuff, really.

And if that isn't good enough, just imitate him and buy a copy like he did.

THANKS DAVE!

I'll buy a copy. The slow cooker thread is literally one of my favorite threads on here so I am obliged.

Doesn't that describe just about every author?

Well, that depends. Is every guy who designs a shed for his back yard an architect?
