Mentally Incontinent Paperback - 2005

by Joe Peacock


Summary

Cyberspace's answer to David Sedaris: raucous recollections from a man with a serious blabber-control problem Joe Peacock is one of those rare people to whom interesting things just sorta happen. For the amusement of his friends, he'd often recount in long e-mails his latest misadventure, whether it was witnessing an armed robbery or being vomited on during his first sexual experience. In 2002, he started collecting those stories on a Web site he founded, mentallyincontinent.com. Soon he had a large following of visitors, including a rabid core group who suggested edits and helped him hone his writing craft. In 2005, he self-published the best stories from his site as a collection and in the years since he's been holding impromptu readings across the country, selling thousands of copies (mostly out of the back of his truck). In Mentally Incontinent, Joe delivers a batch of hilarious and brand-new stories, featuring his misadventures with a stalker, his blind date with a fifteen-year-old, and his frustrated attempts to convince his mom that he's not gay. A natural storyteller and a self-proclaimed magnet for weirdness, Joe Peacock has emerged from the bowels of the Internet with some interesting tales to tell.

From the publisher

You need a description of Mentally Incontinent? Well, here you go: In this book, Joe Peacock screws over a major department store (really badly, too), witnesses an armed robbery gone awry, grabs a log of poo poo from a toilet while simultaneously insulting Scientologists, has a dolphin throw up on him in front of his 6th grade class, has animal rights protesters dressed as cows steal his dinner off of his plate, gets vomited upon during his first ever sexual experience, has nipple piercings ripped from his chest, suffers through multiple laptop malfunctions (including one explosion) and deals with outsourced technical support, and has a girl attempt suicide over him. Oh, and he also orders seppuku in a sushi restaurant and his wife gets arrested for stealing meat from a grocery store. The 21 stories in this book were chosen by the more than 500,000 readers of the website by the same name (MentallyIncontinent.com) over the course of three years, producing the world's first internet-based reader edited book. Joe The Peacock's stories have been featured on websites and in magazines ranging from CNN, MSNBC, Fark, the Village Voice, the Mad Pundit, Zug and a host of others, where they (and the Mentally Incontinent project itself) were met with massive critical acclaim.
