Ellen just had a segment on her show where viewers had sent in strange books they had found. I found two of them, but the third was printed in 1940, called "The Hygiene of Marriage." I really, really want to see that one, because someone had underlined many passages in it! Apparently Ellen couldn't even read sections of it, she was just "I don't understand. I just don't understand."

But I did find two others she mentioned, on Amazon. And now I share them with you, because I just need someone else to talk to about them.

All the Rain Promises and More: A guide to mushrooms in the West
I just want to know why that particular picture was chosen for the cover. Why?
Make sure to read some of the reviews. They're pretty funny.

Oozing for my Lord
There is no description beyond "Christian Autobiography" and only one review.
I know of no deity that would want anyone to ooze for them. I guess the Flying Spaghetti Monster could be kinda oozy, but still.
Am I the only one who finds the word "oozing" kinda gross, all by itself?

Whoa!

Those are.......... well, they're something.

And yes, "oozing" is a disgusting descriptor, and not one I'd use for something I liked. Infected wounds ooze, not your adoration of your lord.

**Note to readers** If I'm "liking" your sad post, it's because I'm trying to say, "I hear you. I'm listening. Your voice is valid." Not that I enjoy your misfortune.

That made me think of an old textbook I have Anaesthesia For The Uninterested I just looked to see if it is on Amazon and it is, selling for over $115.00!
It's a legitimate anaesthetics text book, not a spoof or anything.
Published in 1976 and there's some very non PC pictures in there, like a girl in a skimpy bikini, with rabbit ears on captioned "the ether bunny". I used to date and anaesthetist about 10 years ago and he'd never seen it before and thought it was very funny. I almost gave it to him, maybe good I didn't, I should try to sell my copy!

I just looked at Oozing for my Lord on Amazon, to be informed that people searching for that particular title had also searched for the other two.

HaHa! I looked at this on Amazon and it said customers who viewed this also viewed All the Rain promises and More: A guide to mushrooms in the West and Oozing for My Lord.

And Yeah is that man stealing the mushrooms? Weird!
