High Weirdness by Mail

Unbelievable. The classic nutty cuckoo book, High Weirdness By Mail is now available on the web. It’s right here.

I actually got this book when I was young – maybe a little too young for what was in it – after reading about it in a Fender Tucker editorial on Loadstar. The book was a total treasure trove, and a trip, with just amazing fringe and not-so-fringe stuff you could get for free or cheap by mail. If memory serves, it’s what introduced me to Archie McPhee.

I have yet to really dive into the web version but the sheer number of links is promising. Check it out.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
