Sometimes you need a book of perforated cards to tell you that. Emergency Compliment is that book. Emergency Compliment will offer 60 unique and mildly bizarre compliments. Each page is perforated to easily detach and distribute to those in dire need of an emergency compliment. Sample compliments: You're not crazy. They are 100% into you. Today's outfit = thumbs up. Your hair looks great today. It also looked really good two days ago.

It's stupid because it pretends we can stop being men. It's wrong because it insists we stop being men. You can be a man and be successful at a relationship. If you have, against all hope and fate, found a woman you want to keep in your life through legal and socially acceptable means, this book will give you advice and strategies that go a long way to let her know she is important without requiring you to sacrifice being a man. We're guys, we like being guys, and there is nothing wrong with that. It is, however, time to stop acting like a 12 year old boy because, and think about it, do you really want to be with a woman who is willing to or wants to be with a 12 year old boy? This doesn't mean we have to grow up, it means we have to man up. There is a difference and this book will help you with that difference through simple and straightforward strategies and plans. Men, it's time to step up and be a real man. It's time to learn the Art of the Compliment.

In the spirit of Mindy Kaling, Kelly Oxford, and Sarah Silverman, a compulsively readable and outrageously funny memoir of growing up as a fish out of water, finding your voice, and embracing your inner crazy-person, from popular actress, writer, and comedian Bonnie McFarlane. It took Bonnie McFarlane a lot of time, effort, and tequila to get to where she is today. Before she starred on Last Comic Standing and directed her own films, she was an inappropriately loud tomboy growing up on her parents’ farm in Cold Lake, Canada, wetting her pants during standardized tests and killing chickens. Desperate to find “her people”—like-minded souls who wouldn’t judge her because she was honest, ruthless, and okay, sometimes really rude—Bonnie turned to comedy. In her explosively funny and no-holds-barred memoir, Bonnie tells it like it is, and lays bare all of her smart (and her not-so-smart) decisions along her way to finding her friends and her comedic voice. From fistfights in elementary school to riding motorcycles to the World Famous Comic Strip, to Late Night with David Letterman, and through to her infamous “c” word bit on Last Comic Standing, You’re Better Than Me is her funny and outrageous trip through the good, bad, and ugly of her life in comedy. McFarlane doesn’t always keep her mouth shut when she should, but at least she makes people laugh. And that’s all that matters, right?
