Follow the author of "The Cynic's Dictionary" as he struggles with an uncooperative universe, from childhood through college to the trials of homeownership and the insults of middle age.

In this third and final volume drawn from his popular online "tirades," Bayan serves up a series of personal confessions, dreams and fantasies. You’ll read about his fraught relationships with work, love, noise, obligations, scammers, physical fitness, hopeless sports teams, God, politics, headcolds and malevolent inanimate objects whose sole purpose is to exasperate us. For those of us who aren’t instinctively attuned to its secrets, the world really does look like a vast obstacle course.

Contents include "In Praise of Sloth," "On Becoming a Dullard," "Interview with an Unemployable Man," "The Sensory Deprivation Blues," "Love and the Single Cynic," "Why Do We Bother?," "The Fountain of Futility" and the somewhat more upbeat "Why I Can't Hate Christmas" -- along with 40 more essays that will have you chuckling over the various snares, conflicts, insults and afflictions that the gods have prepared for us mortals.

Even though this is the most autobiographical of Bayan's three books of tirades, you'll probably discover that these essays are as much about you as they are about him. If you’ve ever felt at odds with the universe or struggled to open an unyielding bag of corn chips, you’ll feel right at home when you delve into this refreshingly funny and honest book.
