Comedian MasterMind

Comedian Mastermind is the way the unintentionally brilliant Dr. Michael L mmler once sarcastically described Elden "Fatty" Nelson. Now it's the name of the first Best of FatCyclist.com volume. So take that, Dr. L mmler. Taken from the first two-ish years of the FatCyclist.com blog, but peppered with new insights, introductions, and an absurd number of footnotes describing what Fatty was thinking as he wrote, this book contains valuable information every cyclist absolutely must know. Marvel at Fatty's penetrating analysis of cycling company ads, his completely scientific method for rating the value of each cyclist you pass during recreational rides, his keen insight regarding how to pee while riding your bike, a whole bunch of epic ride stories, and quite a few pretty decent swipes at Lance Armstrong and the Tour de France. And more. Much more. No, even more than that. Comedian Mastermind is like the FatCyclist blog, but with Fatty standing behind you, reading over your shoulder, and telling you what he was thinking while he wrote and why he wrote it, all while eating a sizable sandwich. And it's only the good parts - none of the stuff where Fatty just phoned it in. It makes excellent bathroom reading material.
