Synopses & Reviews
Real men have feelings, too--and a pressing need for enlightenment to help them through those dark times between beers or at the end of football season. Ralph and Reggie feel for you, man--you, who would rather slit your wrists than go drumming in the woods with a bunch of sensitive guys...and who wouldn't dream of calling up your "inner child" unless you were a player short for a softball game. This small but husky helpmate contains Mcnuggets of manly wisdom, quotations, inspiration and affirmations for every day of the year on the inner issues that truly matter--from sex to sports to sex to lager to sex to the meaning of life. And it's handy, too, fitting neatly in the pocket of your Bruins windbreaker, so you can easily whip it out whenever the need arises.
About the Author
After majoring in philosophy at Harvard, Tom and Dan pursued the usual philosophical careers. Tom was a probation officer, worked with street gangs in Chicago, did similar work with doctors for Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and was COO of a hospital, all the while going to and dropping out of various divinity schools. His essay, "The Ontological Argument Works! (sort of)" appeared recently in Theology Today. Meantime, Dan wrote jokes for various comedians, including Flip Wilson and Lily Tomlin, designed stunts for Candid Camera, co-created the board game, ‘Group Therapy', and then settled down to the literary life, ghost writing a best-selling sex manual and penning several thrillers and mysteries, including the Elvis Presley detective series. In addition to "Heidegger and a Hippo Walk through Those Pearly Gates," Tom and Dan have written the New York Times bestseller, "Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar," "Aristotle and an Aardvark Go to Washington," and the politically-incorrect book of daily affirmations, "Macho Meditations." Tom lives with his wife on Cape Cod, Dan with his wife in the Berkshire Mountains.
