Copycats!

Sock Monkey is disgusted.
Sock Monkey is appalled.
Sock Monkey shall be writing a stern letter to The Guardian.

For years Sock Monkey has been compiling a list called 'Stupid Book Titles' (see earlier posts). Gems such as 'Mammals of Luxembourg', 'How to Shit Around the World' , 'Bicarbonate of Soda: A Versatile and Natural Substance' and Uniform Retail Meat Identity Standards' appear on said list.

Then, last Saturday Sock Monkey opened up The Guardian Magazine and there it was in CMYK glory! The Guardian had printed an article about stupid book titles! They had obviously been reading my blogs and stole my idea! Admittedly they included different titles to mine (eg 'Fancy Coffins You Can Make Yourself') but nevertheless how rude of them!
