GOD IS IN THE PANCAKES
So this is the new "new" book! Amusingly (and that word should probably be in quotes, too), I wrote and sold GOD IS IN THE PANCAKES long before Amy and I had even the glimmer of the idea for SO SUE ME, JACKASS! And in the 3 years it's taken for Pancakes to hit the shelves, we pitched, sold, wrote and came out with Jackass last September. But it's finally time for the Pancakes, and I'm very happy

Robin's New Book!
In what would appear to be a never ending quest for cross-promotional self-aggrandizement, we here at the Shaking blog want to let you know that Robin now has a new book out, too, called SO SUE ME, JACKASS!: Avoiding Legal Pitfalls That Can Come Back to Bite You at Work, at Home and at Play.Co-written with Robin's sister, Amy (the brains & lawyer in the family), it's a humorous guide to everyday

Renee's New Book!
Yes, you read that right! It's Renee's new book... in French! I'm not exactly sure what it's about -- my high school French only takes me so far -- but knowing Renee, I'd bet it has the critical brilliance of a Milton essay, the readability of a Harry Potter novel, and the moral authority of the Bible. No doubt it has something to offer for everyone (who speaks French).I'm ordering myself a copy

His Cheating Heart
You've been asking about Jay. Wondering where he's been. If we had some sort of falling out or brutal melee. You were curious if I went all Norman Mailer on his ass. Maybe you even secretly suspected I made him flee to France, just like Renee.Well, children, I hate to tell you this, but it turns out that the reason Jay's been slacking on this site (aside from his well-documented laziness), is

Nothing Says I Love You...
Sadly, Tonya and Jim were not engaged in romantic role-play. Happy VD, everyone, from our cold, cold hearts to yours!

I See Naked People
I arrived home yesterday and found this note taped to the outer door of my apartment building:Dear Tenants:Your neighbors respectfully request that the relatively new residents (who display a menorah in their north facing window) use a curtain in the evenings for their living room. It will help protect all of our privacy. Thank you.In a city like New York, a city where seeing neighbors in various

Denial Ain't Just a River...
I am completely content that on official documents I'm classified: "spinster."I am completely satisfied with the size of my apartment.I am completely comfortable with my diminished bank account.I am completely certain we have a genius in the White House. I am completely ecstatic that when I tell people I'm a writer, they say, "Oh, that's so cute, but how do you earn a living?"I am completely

The isn't the first time there's been an incident like this. Back in October '05, two gentlemen dressed

Gay, Straight or Kind of Both Actually
Lifetime, the network for gay men and apparently a few women, has mashed its demographics into what producers surely thought would be ratings gold: a show about gay men and the deluded women who date them.Well, sort of about that. It's actually a bottom-feeding dating show that features three men and a female suitor. The twist? One is straight and single, one is straight and taken, and the
