On What Are The Best Audiobooks For A Road Trip?

The only audiobook I ever listened to was "WLT: A Radio Romance" by Garrison Keillor (of which I kind of serendipitously had a copy at a time I had to drive from the Bay Area to Austin). I sometimes really like Keillor, and he does have a wonderfully sonorous voice, and this book was particularly apt for audio-izing because, after all, much of it is about a broadcasting radio station, and thus peculiarly suitable to be heard aloud. YMMV.

On Buying The Bottom Shelf: An Adventure In Cheap Liquor

Yeah, guys, I'd save my bottle of George T. Stagg if I could GET one of the goddamned things. Geez. I think you can get a bottle shipped to you from England on the interwebs for just a few hundred dollars (plus shipping) but, beyond that, there ain't none nowhere.

@Who_own_da_Chiefs Thomas Handy Sazerac. 129 proof. And yummy. Also, unfortunately, about 80 bucks.

@themmases "So Much Fun," I believe. (Also "Slapping My Forehead" or "Stupid Mother Fucker." Hard to tell from the terse context here.)

On I Sold My Soul to the Department of Homeland Security

"I've never been charged with a crime" leapt out at me as well. It's what we learned in law school (or, at least, some of us did, the ones without the glazed-over eyes) to call a "negative pregnant."
