Another Roadside Attraction


So, I just made my way through a re-read of Tom Robbins "Another Roadside Attraction"

I gotta say that it has been a while since I have read anything by Robbins, but it was good to wade into the less/more than solid worlds which he creates. His writing of the weather in the Northwest is spot on. Cool characters fill out the story which includes a lovely baboon, various atypical carny-types and the recently discovered body of Jesus (not a Mexican guy).

Anyway, you should read it, if you want to. I am sure this review is much worse than the book itself...

the review was interesting enough, however, can't we just talk about the butter cow? now that is compelling stuff. c'est tres chic, n'est-pas? ou est-qu'on peut trouver cette tres jolie vache? j'aime les vaches, mais je trouve que les cochons sont meilleur. c'est moi, je sais, mais le cochon est le roi de mon bouche. oui, c'est degoutant, mais c'est vrai.

merci pour votre temps,

We all-American people of the rich farmlands of Ohio don't take kindly to fancy frog-talk, especially as it pertains to buttery cattle.
