Upside down printing
I went to a bookstore to get a copy of Rant, and when I grabbed the first copy on the shelf, it was printed upside down. The jacket was on it with the little hole cut in it so you could read the R on the actual cover, but when I opened the book, all the pages were upside down. The next copy I grabbed was fine. Anyone know anything about some insisious upside down plot?
That was my first thought, actually. But after close consideration, it turned out that, no, my personal dysfunctions are not the problem.
did you BUY it? That's pretty ridiculous. Could be worth something!
Yeah, I bought it.
Pictures?

Absolutely, get it signed by Chuck.
This is a really good idea.
Imagine, it's like one in a billion, printed for the sole purpose of declaring someone the winner. Like the lottery.

(questions new guys honesty. would need a pic as proof.)
Ok, I'll take some pictures.
Here you go.
this is not as uncommon as you would think. what is uncommon is that this book made it to the shelves. my first jobs were all at bookstores. when cartons of books arrived, we would have to flip through them to check for such errors-- if we did find one, we either sent t back to the publishing house or put it for sale. at barnes and noble, the latter is not an option-- each misprint would be sent back. we would find these misprinted books a few times a month. its probably not worth anything.
I don't have the drive or ambition for it right now but I was going to scan a page from my copy of Rant and just flip it upside down and claim to have the same thing!
Ah shit! You got me good, didn't ya! That's the last time I try to pull one over on the Chuck Uber Fan! Douche.

My first thought.
Careful new guy, The Karb can make your stay at the Cult rather unpleasant. I didn't think that pic you sent proved anything. Not that you have to, but if you're going to attempt, you should at least make it convincing. Just my thoughts. Douche.
For starters, I've been a member of the Cult longer than both of you combined, so don't call me new guy.
Second, he can make my stay unpleasant? I don't even know what that's supposed to mean. Is he going to give me a wedgie?
Don't worry, next time I'll have the object in question certified by Sotheby's before I dare being so bold as to simply ask a question about it on the almighty forum.
I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch right here in Hollywood.
It isn't a big deal.
Really, most people here know one another and joke around a lot. Please don't take it personally.
I see you've been a member for a long time. Glad you've decided to post your find.
Good coffee is like drinking Rock and Roll.
Thanks.
This is a great way to confuse drunk party guests.

What the hell are you talking about? I said ~~>[b][i]I[/b][/i]<~~ was going to do that and pretend it was a misprint. I didn't say you did. It's pretty obvious from your pic that you got the real thing. Get a Kleen-Ex and wipe the sand outta your vagina! Yeesh.
Cool. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Cool. So now that we're all friends, static, would you like some lobster?
It's really good lobster. Even though I hate seafood.
But whatever you do, do NOT call the lobster "Willis". For our sakes.
Only if it's New Jersey lobster...I hear that's the good stuff.

Isn't "New Jersey Lobster" just a turtle with a couple of KFC sporks stuck in it?

I agree. How has no one else seen upside down printings before? I've seen it at least a few times in my day.
I've got a crappy upside-down Maurice Level book...
Sanity, the ultimate insanity.
Ive gotten a book with 4 Chapter 5s followed by Chapter 9,but its probably not work shit because its by Tess Gerritsen.
Wickercats the man to ask about your rare find.
I've got this one weird book where the chapters are backwards, starting with the last and ending with the first. It was kind of a gay book, I hope I never read anything by that guy again.
*Cough*
Don't eat the lobster unless you know for sure its cooked and dead, with no heart beating. heh
;d

I have that book. What a nutcase.
Are you sure that someone didn't take your eyeballs out while you were asleep and put them back in upside down? Or that you're not standing on your head?
