Hilarious stuff.

Favorite is still Dav3 Barrie Does Japann. There's a very moving piece in the middle of all the laughter that shows exactly why he won a Pulitzer

I must read this!

No. What I'm looking for is humorous fiction. Dave doesn't write fiction.

He does. But most of what he writes is funnier than fiction could ever be.

KitCat said:
just adding: Dave barry also has a co written series (YA Fantasy i think?) it's called the starcatcher series, i imagine it has at least some humor in it.

Must look this up!

Whoo hoo! I've thought of a terrific opening scene for my story! It's sometimes hard to come up with something snarky enough for Mal.

I continue to become more and more irritated at Corporate Workplace.

Clear and simple communication is really not that hard. At. All.

This makes me borderline violent on the inside.

It's a "re-imaging."

So in 1990, the plot was:

"Douglas Quaid is haunted by a recurring dream about a journey to Mars. He hopes to find out more about this dream and buys a holiday at Rekall Inc. where they sell implanted memories. But something goes wrong with the memory implantation and he remembers being a secret agent fighting against the evil Mars administrator Cohaagen."

The 2012 plot is:

"As the nation states Euromerica and New Shanghai vie for supremacy in the far future, a simple factory worker suffering from violent nightmares also begins to suspect that he's a spy whose memory and personality were erased and replaced, though he is unaware which side of the fight he's on and how important his lost memories will be in its outcome."

that might be more in the vien of the short story than the Arnold-athon

What--chocolate-covered Hugh Jackman is no longer in style? Was he replaced by Jeremy Renner?

I'll just stick with Kate Beckinsale in leather in the next Underworld.
