Where to buy
Description: Perfect for the anti-aviary (or bird fanatic with a sense of humor), this snarky illustrated handbook is equal parts profane, funny, and—let's face it—true. Featuring 50 common North American birds, such as the White-Breasted Butt Nugget and the Goddamned Canada Goose (or White-Breasted Nuthatch and Canada Goose for the layperson), Kracht identifies all the idiots in your backyard and details exactly why they suck with humorous, yet angry, ink drawings. Each entry is accompanied by facts about a bird's (annoying) call, its (dumb) migratory pattern, its (downright tacky) markings, and more. With migratory maps and tips for birding, plus musings on the avian population and the ethics of birdwatching, this is the essential guide to all things wings. No need to wonder what all that racket is anymore!

There's a whole section of pick up strategies in The Lesbian Sex Haiku Book (with Cats!). There are some in this article, but others are only in the book, like how to pick-up specific types of lesbian:
The DIY Lesbian
"My life has vastly
improved since I started to
roll my own tampons."
The sporty lesbian
"Is that Old Spice that
you're wearing, or... is that Old
Spice that you're wearing?"
The straight-looking lesbian
Say literally
anything - she's thrilled someone
is talking to her.
Pass her a note. I am reading this book and I happen to love poetry and the author gave me a great idea to write haikus to lovely ladies. Seriously just write a short note with a clever haiku and I promise you, you'll get a decent response from her.
I am starting to keep a pen and paper with me at all times.
Here's a starter haiku
I know you don't know
me. But your smile makes me blush.
Here is my number?
edit: for you tech dependent gals, you can change "number" to "Insta", "Tinder", "Snapchat", lol. ;)
OP’s late so I did some as much digging as I could.
The source for the blotter art seems to come from The Lesbian Sex Haiku Book With Cats that contains this image (sorry for crappy link, automod deletes Etsy and google images links).
I also found two other people that had the finalized blotter. This guy first and then this guy.
Alas, I couldn’t find any purchasable unlaid tabs.
>My sisters can't even watch TV because Bob "doesn't want his son learning bad words or watching adult programming teehee!"
You could always offer to read his son a story. Or educate him on the finer aspects of mythology (like Santa). Or become Satanist and joke that you'd love to have a couple converts.
Why yes!
Reminds me of Pets With Tourettes.
Is the raffle phrase penguins now or what?

Ever find yourself sitting around wondering, "What am I supposed to do with this pug?!" Worry no more, with this book!
Once you've figured out what to do with it. This book should teach you the appropriate way to do so.
My name is Rosa, and I gotta a lotta thoughts in my head, my bad if the force themselves out at the wrong time. ;)
There's a bit of conflation going on here as I see it, three strands being twisted into one:
(1) Adam is successful
(2) He is an artist
(3) He is a internet persona
(1) Is he successful? In a way this depends how you measure it. He was casting about for a few years, doing caricatures to pay his rent, redditing to get exposure for his mildly successful toon/blog crossover thing, and spin off merch etc. I guess that didn't pay as well as he'd liked so he started working for buzzfeed. If you've seen any of the other regular contributors you'll realise the bar is about as high as the other kinds of content they produce, which is at a height that would challenge a limbo dancing ant. He simply stuck it out longer at the content farm and became a 'senior' by default. His gain is a wider audience for his spin off merch
(2) I won't deny he does make stuff which he has (at some point) drawn and coloured - however there is no spark of creation or passion in this stuff which consists of basically trying to make new relatable memes by copy and pasting his own stuff from his own stuff on a daily basis (something we can all do). It is the equivalent of any pre-internet syndicated letratone cartoon. Those guys paid the bills with their "Take my wife ... please"-desert island-missionaries and cannibals faire. And while they are representative of a certain time period they don't really speak about the human condition in any meaningful way as they simply coast the then zeitgeist.
(3) This last point is where being successful gets muddied. If he were successful commercially we'd already be going to Adam Ellis Land and going to see films drawn in his style. If he were artistically successful then more people would be trying to copy him seriously rather than to take the piss. I see him more a Mc Gonogal (in)famous for failing spectacularly at his chosen means of expression.
His DIY photobook about constructing hats for cats was/is really fun. Tiny Hats On Cats
I really like HONY-style books like this and this. Maybe surprise her with a trip to a farm?
This is the book, it is fiction for kids even. What a joke of reporting.

Hello, hello, /u/spidersam639 ! I would so love and appreciate this screaming goat book and figurine because I'm very excited to put it on my desk at work so that my coworkers/desk visitors can play with it. I found it on a list of must-have items and it's supposedly hilarious! I like to be mildly goofy at work in whatever way I can, so I feel like this will be a fun way to make myself and coworkers laugh!
This cookbook has a lot of exciting and internet-approved recipes!

Couple of suggestions:
Don't what your interested in, but the above is pretty good all round list.
The Dark Tower books are an amazing read. Fantasy fiction. 7 books in the series, with an 8^th written latter that is kinda supposed to be in the middle somewhere. It is an addictive read, and yet I haven't finished it yet. I'm not very good at describing books, and I don't want to ruin it at all. So I'm afraid you'll have to look up reviews. But they are brilliant, and I really must finish them!
Derren Brown is (if you don't know) a British illusionist with an absolutely unbelievable set of skills. He is constantly de-bunking psychics, and magic in general, while at the same time making you believe he is magic (even if you have absolutely no belief in magic at all)! This book explains some of the tricks he does, and how to perform a lot of things. From simple disappearing coins, to insane memory capabilities. Very interesting read. Another one that is really hard to put down.
The Simpsons Mathematical Secrets book is something I found accidentally while being really nerdy and watching this video. It turns out that a lot of The Simpsons writers are mathematicians. These guys slip nerdy Easter Eggs into the episodes, and Simon goes through them all. The video linked talks about how numbers should be difference for the Simpsons, as they only have 4 fingers (3 and a thumb) where as we have 5. This makes us use a base 10 number system, they should use a base 8 number system. Fundamentally changing things like Pi. The writers knew this. But there is one, and only one, character in The Simpsons who has 5 fingers (4 and a thumb), and so this is why they live in a decimal world - The only character is God, and he controls the number system for some reason.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is a book I had to read in school. It is an amazing diary like "murder mystery novel like no other". It is narrated by a 15 year old boy with Asperger's Syndrome. It has been a while since I read this, so I don't remember a lot about it, but I remember reading it a couple of times before the rest of my class got around to finishing it. Not a long book, but a very good one!
I included Harry Potter, because its an obvious choice. It's also the only one from the above that I've finished (other than The Curious Incident). I've finished all 7 books. But never got around finishing the others (only got the Simpsons one for Christmas). If you haven't seen the films, read the books first. They are 100 times better. Seriously. But the films are like icing on the amazing cake that is HP, so don't avoid them either. This isn't just a kids book/film like some people assume.
Pets with Tourette's is a picture book. Not for kids. The things these pets say sometimes, disgraceful.
Can't think of any others, but probably because it is 4am here. Hahaha.
EDIT: Grammar and formatting errors.
This one is just as good - Maybe Your Leg Will Grow Back!: Looking on the Bright Side with Baby Animals

We Didn't Playtest This At AllA book I picked up and enjoyed recently is the Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America – she might get a kick out of it if she has a good sense of humour and doesn't mind profanity. You can read the preview pages on Amazon to see if you think she'd like it.
Use that 6 dollars to get Maurer this instead
Here's the book: http://www.amazon.com/Grumpy-Cat-A-Book/dp/1452126577
It's a collection of memes, an activity book, "Occasions I've Ruined", How to be Grumpy, etc. It's funny if you're a fan of the little lady.
I bought the Dog Owner's manual because i thought it would be funny, turns out it is full of useful information, like they even teach you how to do the CPR on a dog.
since I'm in Canada, here is the link to amazon.ca but i'm pretty sure you can find it somewhere else.

Not so much a book for little ones. My 7 year old is hilariously delighted with the less flowery kid's books (I'd written gruesome, but that's not exactly right) and I looked at this for him. But no, sigh, this is a joke book for older-than-kid people, like Go the Fuck to Sleep and Say it with Baby Animals
I have a really cool coloring book on my under $10 wishlist. It is fucking adorabler cussing animals!! They are cute little animals that cuss for you to color. It’s soo cool and tons of fun!! I have volume one and it’s been very therapeutic to color so looking forward to number two. I hope this is something you will enjoy also. Have a great day.

Honestly, I usually pick my colouring books based on how easy they are to colour (I like thick lines and not too many small finicky areas). Right now, my favourites are [the Pusheen Colouring Book] (https://www.amazon.ca/Pusheen-Coloring-Book-Claire-Belton/dp/1501164767) because it's just super cute and the designs are quick and easy to colour, and this [Art Therapie] (https://www.amazon.ca/ART-TH%C3%89RAPIE-NOUVEAUX-COLORIAGES-ANTI-STRESS/dp/2012314732) one, it's got a great variety of patterns, mostly either abstract/geometric designs or flowers. And I especially love that it has a bunch of cool kaleidoscope type designs. I would also recommend getting some decent colouring pencils. Upgrading my pencils a bit made a huge difference for me because it's so much easier to get a good solid colour and the end result is just a lot more rewarding. Right now I'm using these pencils, they're not much more expensive than some cheap Crayolas, but they make a big difference.
