WHO DID THIS??

Guys, I hate to tell you this but a terrible crime has just occurred. It's so dastardly that even Lex Luthor, the Joker, Al Capone would be ashamed to admit it. Brace yourselves, men! I hate to do it but it's my duty to inform you that someone has desecrated the Sacred Shrine of Guyhood. It's---it's too painful to talk about, so I'll just show you the photo.

Can you believe it?????? Here at the Boys Read display at Imaginon, the Sacred Shrine of Guyhood, someone dared to put the book A Princess Primer: A Fairy godmother's Guide to Being a Princess on our shelf!!!!!! Oh, the nerve!!!! Who would dare to place a princess book in the heart of all guyness!! I was so seized with righteous indignation that I moved faster than a lightning bolt to set things right. Here is the result:

There!! The cosmic balance has been restored. Dave Barry's book Science Fair, the one about floating frogs, dads who dress like Luke Skywalker, and evil schemes to take over the US with a high school science fair has replaced the criminal deed. Goofy guy humor has replaced the pink princess book and all is right with the world!! I don't know the identity of the desecrator and don't want to know. Just understand this; anyone who commits such a foul crime again will face the wrath of--

The Great and Powerful CARLMAN!!

Anonymous said...: Yes Sir! Boys Rule! You guys at ImaginOn ROCK! It was probably the worse type of girl, a girl Sith! who did this deed!; February 25, 2009 at 12:02 PM
Iron Guy Carl said...: We believe you, Ms. Yinling. No Honorary Guy would ever desecrate the Sacred Shrine of Guyhood. (And please come visit if you're ever in Charlotte!) Would a girl Sith do this? Who ELSE could stoop so low!! What do you think, Darth Bill? Master Jedi Zack?; February 25, 2009 at 1:35 PM

Iron Guy Carl said...: Should've known a Sith would take credit for a crime he didn't commit. The Great and Powerful CARLMAN, who sees through tme and space was not fooled, though--no guy, not even a servant of the dark side, would place such a dishonor on the Sacred Shrine of Guyhood.; February 25, 2009 at 4:08 PM

Here's How Our Blog Works

If you don't know how to post comments or reviews to our blog or if you want to read what we and other boys have written, here's what you do:

1. Every post has a place underneath it that says "Comments". Click on it and it will take you to a place in which you can write something. When you're done, click on a way to identify yourself. You don't have to create a Blogger/Google account (unless you already have one); you can click on "Name/URL" or even "Anonymous." Then click "Publish Your Comment." We try to get your comments and reviews posted right away, but sometimes we get busy with other duties. So, if you don't see your comment right away, don't panic. We'll post it soon.

Don't forget--any boy can get a free book the first time he writes a review. If you live too far away to come to the Myers Park library, go ahead and write to us anyway. We'll try to find a way to get a book to you. Besides, all the other boys out there would love to hear from you.

When you tell us about a book, please give the title, author, what the book is about, and why you did or didn't like it.

2. Blogs go "front to back"; that is, the newest post comes up first and the older ones are put further back. You click on the "Blog Archive" to read older articles. The posts for this month have the titles listed. You can click on other months to catch our other posts. (Our introduction is in June of 2007; if you're new to this blog, you might look it up.)

3. Underneath each post you'll see a line that says "Labels" and several other words such as "graphic novels" or "Andrew Clements." These extra words are links to a subject; for instance, if you clicked on "graphic novels," it would pull up all the posts about graphic novels. There's also a section below on some of our best posts on the most popular subjects

4. Did you notice that the posts from last year don't show up month by month as they did before this year? If you click on the triangle next to the previous years, the months will drop down and you can go back and see what we and your fellow readers have written.

The Iron Guy's Review Policy

1. Since the Iron Guy works for the terrific Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, I review only books that the library already has or will get soon.
2. If you are an author or publisher or agent and think you have a book that boys will go crazy over, please leave me a comment (with your email address so I can contact you) under any post. I will look and see if we have the book. If not, and if the book looks good, I will contact Those Who Order Books and see if CML would be interested. (Please note--CML does not usually order self-published books) PLEASE do not just send me a book! I appreciate the offer but but first I want to see if CML has it or will get it soon.
