Texas Crude

Rating:
Summary: I laughed so hard I had to hold my butt on with both hands
Review: An extremely ribald, superbly funny lexicon of peculiarly Texan expressions by a former member of "The Fugs". Great illustrations by R. Crumb, too.

Warning: Do not leave this book within reach of your prudish maiden aunt unless you are certain that you are mentioned in her will.

Summary: Absolutely Fabulous
Review: Hope this one goes back in print some day, because I must have given away 10 copies of it, and am now down to my last one. The book is extremely funny, but that's only the beginning of its appeal. A deep look into the poetic (and occasionally moronic) soul of the Lone Star State. Also, like a lot of blue-collar and military lingo, some of the sayings herein express eternal truths about the human condition.

I worked a blue-collar job in Texas for a couple of years inbetween fabulous careers, and this book is always fun to pick up as a reminder of what it was like.
