Got the book and made the extra WBR donation. Looking forward to the reading, fatty. I think this second book gets me caught up on your best. I think I started reading your Blog around 2010 or 2011.

By the way, ten years at anything is a good run. Ten years at blogging, actually, is really impressive. After all, We, the public, have a short attention s….. squirrel!!

Hi Fatty,

The cheapest (read slowest) delivery to Australia costs nearly the same as the book itself.

My strategy is therefore to donate the postage to WBR and wait for the Kindle version in December.

Late comment on yesterday’s excerpt. It was great re-reading comments from the stalwart commenters of the early FC days. Luminaries such as Big Mike in Oz, BotchedExperiment and Sprocketboy are now immortalised (Australian spelling) in print, and rightly so.

The recollections you triggered did my old heart good!

Dear Mr. FC –

My dog asked me to beg your forgiveness if he has offended you in any way and asks you to be his friend…Godfather.

He claims he heard a 2007 wire tapped conversation in which you inform Mr. Bike Snob:

“Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me.”

I told my dog to lighten up.

And to leave the GU; take the Campagnolo.

Sorry MattC, the writing and possible prizes are too good, I bought the book. I can’t think of a better Christmas present to myself than supporting Fatty and family while also supporting World Bicycle relief, while also getting a chance at some awesome prizes.

I went with the personal inscription. I ordered Comedian Mastermind to have a personal inscription and I got some randomness in my book (still enjoyable). Now I’m ordering the personal inscription just to see if it shows this time.

I sold my car and go by bike now, so I should be SET for Leadville, right?

Fatty you were not kidding about the kindle version being dirt cheap, at that price I couldn't not download a copy. Just a question why Comedian Mastermind, and not Comedic Mastermind. Not being a much loved, and award winning writer myself I am curious. Thanks for picking up a copy! About the title of the first "Best of:" That's what Dr. Lammler called me, and I didn't want to misquote him. - FC
