“This sharpened spear shaft I am jabbing at your groin in no way implies suppressed homoerotic urges! En garde!”

Dammit, these Dick Blade things just get better, err worse.

This book is genius. Trash, but genius.
‘ Now comes some of Stokes’s patented weird shit – literally. Blade you see has an explosive “buried in his guts.” All he has to do is shit it out – or, as Blade thinks of it, “shit a bomb.” Why or when this was placed there, who knows. I mean, does Blade have to worry about blowing himself up every time he craps? It doesn’t matter, I guess. Instead, Blade begs to be taken to the bathroom, which is a scuzzy toilet outside his cell. He does his business and then reaches down “into his own excreta” and removes the small capsule. (Could you imagine James Bond doing this??)’

It’s like a hellish Argos Catalogue.

I don’t know what you think is so weird here. My deadly double and I do this all the time.

“Deadly double”??
This is a great new twist on the game of Jeopardy!

Woman: “I thought I told you two to cut out the naked duels for dominance. You’re going to hurt each other.”
Well, this is a GSS rarity: A cover where the stock attractive woman is more dressed then the men are – although she’s still topless.

I’ll skip the usual jokes about homoeroticism… ‘cos after reading the description of the actual content of the novel, I realize this cover is really about narcissism on a Donald Trump scale.
The cover urges the reader to identify with a hero who is so convinced of his studliness that he refuses to wear clothes, thinking that “Everyone wants to admire my man-god appearance in full, and who am I to deny them the pleasure that is Me?”

Juan Paul wins the thread. Comedy Gold!

Thank you, but the only golden thing here is Rick Blade’s lustrous skin.

Anna T. – Plus, this time they did NOT use her as Conveniently Placed Foreground Object for one of the Richards, either. Small steps, I guess.

I said “Do you want to dance” not “Do you want to lance” Dick!

Speaking of dancing, I think Bathsheeba there is doing the legendary Elaine Benes dance from Seinfeld.

Another thrilling chapter in the saga of Dammit! Put some pants on, you prancing pervert!

@AR: that saga was better written than this drivel.
