Hey Book Nerds, A Prettier Way To Rack Up Your Amazon Book Bill
July 2, 2008You know how when you’re shopping for books on Amazon and you’re like, yeah this is convenient and all but I wish it looked more like the shelves in my local bookstore and less like a website? PROBLEM SOLVED.

Robert Redford: The Retarded Hemingway-Kerouac of Catalog Writers: Pt. 2!
June 30, 2008Guys. I got a Sundance Catalog in the mail the other day. You know what that means! Here’s Robert Redford’s heartfelt letter to his “Early Summer” issue readers:
This book squares on my favorite area of the country, the southwest. Hot chilies, margaritas, loose clothing, Latin American and raw pioneering energy blending into color and song. I had a Bultaco once. It was hot and quick. So quick I got separated from my seat while trying to forge a stream.
Enjoy the heat.
-Robert Redford
Uhm. What? What’s great about Robert Redford is that Robert Redford is apparently beyond the burden of having to make sense. His letters are the nostalgia-laden, folksy wisdom equivalent of a Ralph Wiggum monologue.
Besides being a TOTAL NON SEQUITUR, I had to look up the word “Bultaco”. I sort of assumed it was a kind of food. Like a taco. Made out of a Bull. (Shut up.) But apparently it’s a motorcycle? Not everyone knows that, Robert Redford. Especially the people buying your Lacy Lotus Earrings. OK. So. Recap. The Southwest: Latin American culture + good old-fashioned, hard-working American spirit = a kick-ass margarita party and also Robert Redford had a motorcycle once. Let’s all buy Laurel Canyon Skirts!
Rather than trying to explain the inner workings of Robert Redford’s poetic mind (no one could explain such intracacies in a short-post blog format), I have included a translated letter instead (kind of like when you “translate” Shakespeare monologues to better understand them? You know? Shakespeare nerds?). You’re welcome.
This catalog is about the southwest. There are a lot of things I like about the southwest like Latin American food and Latin American culture and also cowboys. This one time I had a motorcycle. Motorcycles are very fast. But for reals you guys, they are super fast, as exampled by the fact that once I was even lifted off of it, but only from the sheer force of heroically forging a stream, just like the pioneers did in the 1800s or whatever. I didn’t fall off it though because I’m tough like a cowboy and good at motorcycles like a man.
Summer is hot.

Cereals I Wish Still Existed

I could say the phrase “Tutti Fruiti Flavored Twinkles” all day long and be very happy with this use of time.
Who doesn’t want a miniature Royal Racing Coach (these exist in real life) with their bowl of Wild-eyed Old Man King Vitaman ? (Oh man, I JUST realized that they spelled “vitamin” “vitaMAN”! Well punned, Quaker Oats. Perhaps a little sexist, but well punned.
