    “RUN! The title doesn’t have any capitalisation!”

    He looked so much better from the backside.

  3. THX 1138 Says:

    The strapline makes it sound like Bringing Up Baby. The cover makes it look like Bringing Up Your Lunch.

  4. Francis Boyle Says:

    Rollicking Chaos. But that’s the best sort.

  5. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    Here’s a quiz: how many vaginae can you see in the picture? Remember, a vagina juxtaposed on another vagina only counts as two.

  6. B. Chiclitz Says:

    So it is true—the road to hell is paved with really bad paperback book covers.

  7. B. Chiclitz Says:

    It’s a good thing there are no feet—with that terrain, she’d be bound to twist her ankle and have to be carried to safety by cat-suit man.

    Jodorowsky’s ‘Dune’

    Rollicking Chaos … BEHIND YOU!

  10. Tom Noir Says:

    It will never work out. Their outfits clash.

  11. B. Chiclitz Says:

    This is one of those cleverly constructed blurbs where you can switch the adjectives around at will with no loss (or gain) in meaning:

    “A rollicking blonde and her madcap lover challenge a world of reckless chaos.”

    “A reckless blonde and her rollicking lover challenge a world of madcap chaos.”

    She’s got her jet-pack corset on backwards. Maybe that’s what happened to her feet.

    They seem to be fleeing from an animate Picasso painting.

    @BC: ‘A pavement world and a hell of a challenge lick a mad blonde capless:

    ‘RICKROLL LOVER’

  16. JuanPaul Says:

    @AnnaT It’s like some lost collaboration between Picasso, Dali, and Kandinksy

  17. Bibliomancer Says:

    @DSWBT – I’d read that! 🙂

  18. A.R.Yngve Says:

    “A madcap blonde and her reckless lover challenge a world of rollicking chaos”… but enough talk about Ivanka Trump.

  19. Bibliomancer Says:

    “Hurry! We mustn’t Dali.”

  20. B. Chiclitz Says:

    @B’Mancer—Brilliant! Your ripostes never fail to Braque me up!

  21. Al G. Says:

    Incidentally, “madcap” and “reckless” aptly describe the couple’s fashion choices: a tiger print tracksuit and what appears to be two silver bells welded together and used as a corset.

  22. HappyBookworm Says:

    @B. Chiclitz – Nice observation…I think I’ll choose “A rollicking blonde and her madcap lover challenge a world of reckless chaos” as I don’t think chaos even CAN be “rollicking.”…Also, it makes me wonder what good intentions this bizarre couple had to form the proverbial pavement.

  23. Tat Wood Says:

    @HappyBookworm: chaos can rollick – we have a Foreign Secretary who is living proof.

  24. B. Chiclitz Says:

    @Tat Wood—alas, here we have to settle for the reckless chaos of one of our presidential nominees. And, unlike GSS, it’s not funny.

  25. Tat Wood Says:

    @B.Chiclitz: recalling this might cheer you up – it’s pretty rollicking. http://www.goodshowsir.co.uk/?p=224

  26. B. Chiclitz Says:

    @TW—thanks, bro’ I needed that 😉
