Customer Reviews

Funny!

One of the funniest books ever! Buy a copy. You will not regret it.

Funny

Bill Keagy shares his love of the unusual, your discard shopping list. At his website and his book, Milk Eggs Vodka, we get to see what some people are shopping for, as well as Keagy's humorous commentary. It is completely amazing to see the misspellings and how our own shopping list can be seen as a source of amusement for others. This book is funny and irreverent and worth taking a peek.

Interesting Book

This is a very clever book. I like how it is in full color and is organized very creatively. My reccommendation is that you read the lists FIRST, then read what Bill Keaggy has to say. Sometimes it's not funny if you read his snipit first. I also love how he created some recipes based on the lists he's found. I can't wait to try some out. Very good book to add to your collection.

Laughing at Lists

This book had me laughing so hard in the bookstore I just had to buy it. The lists themselves are great...but when you have the Jimney Cricket remarks of author Bill Keaggy they become hysterical. I can read sections over and over and still crack up! He gives the lists personality and a very creative edge -- like. "Stop Smoking Bad Mom!" Get this book you will never look at lists the same way again!

really funny

Just got my copy of this one a few days ago. Really very funny. The book covers all manner of grocery lists, from those filled with dreadful mispellings (my lord, our education system is in the toilet), to the totally absurb. That someone actually made a list consisting of stamps, fish and "undies" is pretty funny. There's another with cellophane, garlic bread, butter, eggs, hookers and blow. Makes you wonder what kind of party they were having.... There's also a great deal of commentary from the author on food facts and our peculiar list-making obsessions. I think another reason why the book is so cool is the look and feel of it. Some books are just so nicely designed you want to own them for that aspect of their appeal alone. This one certainly measures up to that standard. The design reminds me a bit of Post Secret. The content is, as noted in another review, similar to what you'll find in Found (which I also have). But personally Milk Eggs Vodka made me laugh a lot more than Found did. Maybe it was the focus of the material or the author's sense of humor, or my own quirks, I'm not sure. A good time, regardless.
