    Nick Offerman needs to be our President. This man's way of thinking is perfection.

    I garnered a lot of wisdom and sage advice from this special. I also learned that Mike Huckabee apparently has at least 15 separate RUclips accounts

    I read the book and reviewed it (sort of) on my youtube channel.
    Long story short, buy the thing, it's a fantastic read.

    A parody to that one song, "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy", I now think, in a strictly parodicly termed song, "Safe a Tree, Ride a Hippie," might help us lol.

    I'm going to buy his books now! They seem wildly more entertaining than Jim Gaffigan's book that my father told me to read.

    Nick Offerman's reading could be misjudged as vocabulary masturbation and erudite over-indulgence, but then again I could be misjudged as intelligent.

      In short, his discourse is pleasurable to the senses and titillating.

    "Dont be a dick" as I be a dick to everyone who doesn't think like me. I dislike hypocrites, especially when they use their fame to espouse their hypocrisy.

    I was loving your book until I realized , you're a bit obsessed with body parts and their functions. I believe you show a lot of promise if you could be able to expand your vocabulary enough to drop the profanity. Good luck .
