Publisher's Synopsis

Welcome again to the weird and wonderful world of MikeSpeak! Somewhere in the sleepy capital of the state of New York there is a man whose special talent for accidentally transforming the English language is providing Endless Mindertainment to a small but growing group of family, friends and fans. His talent for verbal twists and flubs seems to spring from a bottomless well that has been documented for over 20 years, creating an amazing collection of language reconstructed, often with hilarious effect. In our first MikeSpeak book, "I'm Porfectly Nermal," we introduced the world to our amazing friend Mike and his verbal (and sometimes physical) mishaps. In volume 2 we explored the world of entertainment. In this third volume, MikeSpeak Vol. 3, The Thrill Of Agony And The Victory Of Defeat, we turn our attention to the world of sports and look at some of the funny things Mike has said regarding: Baseball - "A lard-throwing hefty" Football - "A late hound out of bits" Other Sports - "He just dissed a monk" Card games - "Your sucker face poses" and other pastimes. You can read about famous players, like "Busty Poser" or "Flug Duty," or root for your favorite teams, like the "Boston Sod Wrecks" or the "Minnevita Soakings." Whatever your favorite sport or game may be, from baseball to bowling, from poker to billiards, chances are that Mike has had something to say about it.
