Happy heavenly birthday to the great Lee Marvin!
The city of Pasadena, CA used to host an insane response to the staid and conservative Rose Parade with a free-for-all called the D0o Dah Parade which was populated by crazy groups each trying to outdo each other in outlandishness. One of the most outlandish was called The Bastard Sons of Lee Marvin, which was a group of precision marchers supposedly made up of the illegitimate offspring of Oscar winning actor Lee Marvin following a hearse carrying the corpse of their beloved father.
There is still a parade by that name in Pasadena but ever since corporate America got its hooks it in, it devolved into a shadow of its glorious past. Hack once attended the event in its heyday and awoke later that afternoon in a dumpster clutching the manuscript to this novel in his trembling hand.

Happy birthday to Yoko Ono!
Puppy Daddy
Hack wrote his in honor of our beloved friend Jesse Merlin opening in Jerry Springer: The Opera at the San Jose Playhouse next week. We tried to explain to him that paternity tests were Maury Povich’s shtick rather than Springer’s, to which Hack testily replied “When Merlin appears in an opera based on Povich, I’ll write another book that sets the record straight.”
Unfuckable

The Three Rageaholics
When Hack described a frustrating situation he was caught in between two companies that were screwing him over and then throwing the blame on the other company to his friend Snow Mercy, she replied “You’re like the Three Stooges. You’re Larry.”
Hack was so traumatized at being likened to Larry Fine in that scenario that he wrote this book as therapy.
