That's an assumed name; I anticipated the breathless fascination people would direct to me after they were turned on by the racy content.

Post by: Pete Velcro on May 14, 2008, 10:49:50 PM: So on the book front it's Dave From Knoxville - one, Tom - zero

Dave, is your book just transcripts of your lectures in 14 point Helvetica? Just kidding. Actually, I'm totally jealous. I suck at math, and I think it's pretty tough to fake a calculus textbook.

Dave From Knoxville for life!

Post by: Forrest on May 14, 2008, 11:04:33 PM: Even if I bought the book, I can't imagine reading it. I'm glad people like Dave exist. He fills a void left by folks like myself.

Dave, that's more books than most of us have ever sold ... Except for me. But books stolen from a college locker-room and sold back to the campus book store MIGHT not count in this case.

Post by: buffcoat on May 15, 2008, 10:27:02 AM: It's just columns rating various calculus functions by whether people at Dave's place of business - and ones he talked to during a visit to his grandmother in Oregon - thought they were great, good or awful.

Wait, that's how all this mess started, isn't it?

Brilliant, buffcoat! I still can't believe Dave insists that Madness invented Ska.
