\"Snackies<\/a>So when’s the last time you took screen shots of book pages and sent them to friends and family because you wanted to guffaw in virtual company?<\/p>\n

Once upon a time, my middle brother and I would have long lasting giggle-fests triggered by what might not have been the most mature subjects \u2013 you know, those topics special to siblings that probably included scatology and, uhm … well, maybe skittles, in this case. Who doesn’t need a silly moment or three or 27, right? We’re all young at heart!<\/p>\n

Thanks to San Francisco’s outrageously creative indie press, Youth in Decline<\/a>, Nick Sumida\u2019<\/a>s got his debut to share. He offers serious life advice: “how to deal with stress” includes visits to the mall, arson, and yoga. He recalls three “subway crush[es]” that feature on very long brain (with ribbons!), Lord Voldemort, and aliens. He thought he was on a first-name texting-basis with God: “hey, I just got a new phone and forgot to import my contacts,” God confesses, “who is this again?” Ouch. <\/p>\n

He has superb tactics for handling first dates: stay away from the creepsters, even if their reflections are all too familiar. And maybe his “motto” is not one to emulate, but that won’t stop you from ROFITSPWYBLDOAYMWACP-ing \u2013 you’ll have to buy the book for the chuckle-inducing translation. I admit I still can’t get over ROFASSOOMB, but that most likely won’t pass the family-friendly censors \u2013 which is that much more reason to tickle your funny bone with Sumida\u2019s Snackies<\/em>.<\/p>\n
