Need proof? Check out \u003ci\u003eThe Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum  of Death\u003c\/i\u003e and try not to bust a gut.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Join Notaro as she experiences the popular  phenomenon of laser hair removal (because at least one of her chins should be stubble-free);  bemoans the scourge of the Open Mouth Coughers on America’s airplanes and in similarly  congested areas; welcomes the newest ex-con (yay, a sex offender!) to her neighborhood;  and watches, against her own better judgment, every Discovery Health Channel special  on parasites and tapeworms that has ever aired—resulting in an overwhelming fear  that a worm the size of a python will soon come a-knocking on her back door.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In  Notaro’s world, strangers are stranger than fiction. One must always check the hotel  bathroom for hobo hairs and consciously remember not to stare at old men with giant  man-boobies. And then there are the lessons she has learned the hard way: Though  it may seem like a good idea, it’s best not to hire a tweaked-out homeless guy to  clean up your yard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e The Plain Dealer\u003c\/i\u003e says that Laurie Notaro is “a scream,  the freak-magnet of a girlfriend you can’t wait to meet for a drink to hear her latest  story.” With \u003ci\u003eThe Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death, \u003c\/i\u003eNotaro proves she’s  not only funny but resigned to the fact that you can’t look bad ass in a Prius. Don’t even try.","brand":"Villard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44215028777215,"sku":"9780812975741","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780812975741_s600x595.jpg?v=1775590524","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780812975741","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
