    Kakutani also labeled on Kindly Ones winning the Prix Goncourt as the French's occasionally perverse taste. One might say the same thing about the rave review she gave to that similarly tome-ish shitshow, Tree of Smoke.

    Russ Meyer did this kind of thing better in the opening scene of "Up!".

    Damn, there goes all hope for my novel about a bestiality-practicing, self-lobotomizing loquacious 100 Years War veteran that I wrote in Urdu entitled, Kindly, Sahib, Let Me Borrow a Goat and That Reminds Me of a Story About Lancastershire ...

    @cdmunch: My publishing company is already in the process of cutting you and your translator a seven-figure check, based on the title alone.

    Yes, this has gotten attention. We had a low bid, then backed off.


    HarperCollins will most definitely not earn back the advance. This is not friggin' France. All those piles of books will be gone from Barnes and Noble in 3-4 weeks.


    You can bet on it.

    @DevilsAvocado: According to the NYT, the narrator "sodomizes himself with a sausage." This is the wurst part.

    Obvious: Excuse me. Is that your nose or did a bus park on your face.

    Meteorological: Everybody take cover. She's going to blow.

    Fashionable: You know, you could de-emphasize your nose if you wore something larger. Like ... Wyoming.

    Personal: Well, here we are. Just the three of us.

    Punctual: Alright gentlemen. Your nose was on time but you were fifteen minutes late.

    Envious: Oooo, I wish I were you. Gosh. To be able to smell your own ear.

    Naughty: Pardon me, Sir. Some of the ladies have asked if you wouldn't mind putting that thing away.

    Philosophical: You know. It's not the size of a nose thats important. It's what's in it that matters.

    Humorous: Laugh and the world laughs with you. Sneeze and its goodbye Seattle.

    Commercial: Hi, I'm Earl Schibe and I can paint that nose for $39.95.

    Polite: Ah. Would you mind not bobbing your head. The orchestra keeps changing tempo.

    Melodic: Everybody! "He's got the whole world in his nose."

    Sympathetic: Oh, What happened? Did your parents lose a bet with God?

    Complementary: You must love the little birdies to give them this to perch on.

    Scientific: Say, does that thing there influence the tides.

    Obscure: Oh, I'd hate to see the grindstone.

    Inquiry: When you stop to smell the flowers, are they afraid?

    French: Say, the pigs have refused to find any more truffles until you leave.

    Pornographic: Finally, a man who can satisfy two women at once.

    Religious: The Lord giveth and He just kept on giving, didn't He.

    Disgusting: Say, who mows your nose hair.

    Paranoid: Keep that guy away from my cocaine!

    Aromatic: It must be wonderful to wake up in the morning and smell the coffee ... in Brazil.

    Appreciative: Oooo, how original. Most people just have their teeth capped.

    Dirty: Your name wouldn't be Dick, would it?

    Sadly, not mine. It's from my favorite movie, Roxanne. Steve Martin beats up a bully with nose jokes. I couldn't find a clip :<
