Customer Reviews

We Need Etiquette for Outlaw Girls

This is a great book. I found it immensely entertaining as well as informative. There are helpful chapters on how to get a free room in Vegas, Proper manners for bike rallys, and more. I agree a lot with the last review that said it was geared for a man, because unfortunately it is. Who knows, maybe someone will come a long and write an Etiquette for Outlaw Girls.

Rules to live by

Everyone can take something away from this hilarious, yet totally useful guide to living. I'm not into hookers or drugs but I'm into betting and I'm into women and I'm into smelling good so this book is all about that too. I really never laughed so hard at a book, but at the same time its all so true and useful.

Rules & "etiquette" for those "unusual social situations"

Ever wondered how much to tip your enighborhood hooker or tattoo artist? What about proper etiquette in a bar or pool hall? These and other probing questions of etiquette in unusual social situations are covered in this book. Taking on a variety of "underground" activities and how to act cool in all of them, this book covers a wide variety of topics. While the information here at times possibly should be taken with a grain of salt, you never know when it might be handy to know how to handle a situation where you're too drunk or in a strange crowd, or even the best way to become a groupie.The book also provides a fascinating look at these and other so-called "taboo topics," and does it well. I'm not an outlaw nor do I play one on TV, but with this book at least I can pretend to be one.

written for a man, but girls like it too!

for the voyeur in everyone, Etiquette for Outlaws illuminates the underground social civilities of vice by interviewing those who would know. the book is a fun & quick read, yet full of detailed research & pictures that made me laugh out loud. a *definite* must read for curious law-abiding folks as well as practicing social deviants!It's such a fascinating irony that even the people who strive to be divergent in this world still run the risk of being disparaged for ignoring the social codes of their peers. I only wish more people I know would internalize rob & dave's advice & take it to heart. manners do count for a lot in this crazy world... even when you're face down in a gutter blasted on Thunderbird. a very funny book. buy it now!

"Tongue-in-Cheek" Will Never Mean the Same Again: EFO

Given some of the adult-oriented material in EFO, to say that the book is "tongue-in-cheek" is as much a commentary the book's content as on its tone. No doubt, this book is NC-17. But for adults who occasionally indulge their baser urges, or want to, or those who wonder about those who do... EFO is for you. If Disneyland was an adult theme park, then EFO would be its "Small World" ride, and I can only imagine what the little dolls would be wearing (or not wearing) and what they might be singing, or ... egad... doing.But get beyond the shock-value, and EFO is truly informative. That Cohen and Wolloch thoroughly researched their subject matter is clear. They bring the best of Gen X wit and razor insight to bear on topics as weighty as suicide etiquette and as lighthearted as Rock-n-Roll groupies. There are laughs here, and information. Oh, and the pics and charts are a riot... recognize anyone? I did. "Gee, Mom, I never would have thought you were into that!"Get this book. Read it first for a laugh. Then read it for insight. Then remember: if you can't be good, at least have good form.
