46995, Bignick's Making Friends With Black People: The Post & Testimonial
Posted by bshelly, Thu Feb-23-06 12:32 PM
You know him as the unfunny curmudgeon who ruins your American Idol watching by reminding you how bad they are. But in his time not spent lamenting my effect of the Wake hoop (note the lack of s) team and being right, Okayplayer's own Nick Adams found time to write a book.

A book that's now available in the front of my local Borders, right next to Ang Nissel's book.

A book at the front of Borders that I tore through last night, reading roughly 2/3 of it in four hours and nearly splitting my gut into tiny little pieces. Now, this may tell you that it's not a literary masterpiece like "Soul of a Black Chef," but it is insanely hilarious.

A book that needs better editing, specifically in its paragraphing, but who fucking cares.

Yes, this is me riding (hit the email list, nick) for my boy, but it's more than that. I just told him that I was worried it would suck, but it doesn't even live in the same solar system as suck. Nick killed it. Everyone should pick this book up. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you'll further okp's plan of world domination.

More to come when I actually have the book in front of me.
46996, I thought it was "Making Friends With Black People"
Posted by janey, Thu Feb-23-06 12:38 PM
my bad.

It's on order at amazon. Guess I'll be getting my copy right quick.
46997, indeed

47003, what amazes me
Posted by bshelly, Thu Feb-23-06 03:29 PM
is that there are 2 pictures of nick and neither one of them are really angry. peeved, maybe, but not angry.
47004, i'm about 1/100th as angry as cats think i am.
Posted by bignick, Thu Feb-23-06 07:49 PM
and if this book is a success, i'm gonna do a week of all positive posts. 2 a day, for 7 days.
47005, but black men are angry
Posted by bshelly, Fri Feb-24-06 12:02 PM
duh.
47006, & we got big dicks, & like chicken, & watermelon, & white women
Posted by jigga, Fri Feb-24-06 12:26 PM
& uh nevermind
47007, I hate watermelon. 3 out of 4 ain't bad.

47010, But how do you prepare your vegetables?
Posted by bignick, Fri Feb-24-06 03:06 PM
if you simmer them with pork until they've lost all nutritional value, we can talk.
if you steam them, i'm gonna need your ghetto pass.
47011, With... soul... power?
Posted by Bridgetown, Fri Feb-24-06 05:21 PM
Look, here just take it. *hands ghetto pass* Wait, hold up. *bends it a little* I never noticed that... if you hold it at an angle, it's got a hologram of Richard Pryor smacking the shit out of Dick Gregory... that's pretty fucking funny.

47013, good question
Posted by bignick, Wed Mar-01-06 05:08 PM
i guess i would have to say some combination of this damn thing actually selling a few copies, and/or opening a few doors for me professionally. on that front, it's already helped me out a lot.
47014, I'll wait for the movie

47016, I think (insert newly popular rapper here) is.
Posted by Bridgetown, Fri Feb-24-06 10:18 AM
This will be (insert newly popular rapper here)'s first screen role following the success of his debut album. (insert newly popular rapper here) has noted that he's excited to get in front of the camera, but that he's still humble and remembers selling tapes from the trunk of a Cadillac El Dorado.

47017, if DMX played Nick, this movie>>>>>>>>>>snakes on a plane
Posted by bshelly, Fri Feb-24-06 12:03 PM
47018, Not if Nick played Sam Jack in Snakes on a Plane
Posted by jigga, Fri Feb-24-06 12:28 PM
47019, Here's the pitch: Black snakes on a plane.
Posted by bignick, Fri Feb-24-06 03:08 PM
Me: White snakes be like, "Hssss." Black snakes be like, "Hiss motherfucker."
Studio exec: "Marla, get me a Wayans on line 1 please."
47020, White snakes be movin in the grass like this *makes "S" motion*

Sleuth (the computer system) told me Nick is in production on a sketch-variety show called Stay Tuned...any truth?
47024, Kensington fucked that up, royally.
Posted by bignick, Thu Feb-23-06 07:46 PM
me and some other cats developed this ski...sketch show, Stay Tuned. that thing went away a while ago and it was in development. not production. but there are some rumblings about doing a TV version of the book.
47025, Yeah, I was like, "PRODUCTION?!"

thanks for the kind words and the purchases. this shit has been a long time coming and it's hard for me to believe that it's this close to actually being out there.

when the ball gets rolling, i'm going to document the entire experience on my blog and probaby on this site too. stay tuned...
47036, oh, it's not even out yet?

47040, I'mma have to order it through my local book shop
Posted by celery77, Fri Feb-24-06 03:18 PM
Maybe I'll lie and tell them to order two so they'll have one for the shelf, cuz once all the guilt-ridden white hippies up here see that title they're going to be clamoring to get a copy. If only you'd somehow worked the Grateful Dead into the title, it'd be over.
47041, supporting the indies. i like that.
Posted by bignick, Fri Feb-24-06 03:42 PM

there's a pretty damn good Steely Dan reference in their. does that count for anything?

Posted by zachattack, Sun Feb-26-06 05:59 AM
and couldn't take advantage of the employee discount, I'd still pick it up. It's got. I have a certain credo, any time I post in GD and ask for advice about things to do once you move to Los Angeles and someone gives a worthwhile and beneficial response and said person writes a book, I buy that book.

Wait...so I can go into Borders and pick this up? I need something to read for my trip on Friday, consider this copped.

A portion of the proceeds from the book are going to the Lupus Foundation of America. So says my copy of his book, which just arrived this very moment. That's cool, dude. Much respect.

bshelly said he saw it at his local Borders, but I went to Barnes and Noble today and they said that it doesn't come out until next month, and she couldn't give me a specific date......

47060, Copped it today at Borders...
Posted by rhymesandammo, Tue Feb-28-06 03:36 PM
6 copies on the shelf at the Westbury, NY store if you're interested. I'm gonna try to hold off reading it 'til my trip, but the Q&A on the back cover made me crack up, so that's definitely a good thing.

The cashier gave me a crazy look when I bought my copy...

CASHIER: Are you really buying this? This is sad...
ME: It's in the humor section, not a "How-To" manual.
CASHIER: Oh. Because, yeah, I was gonna say, do you really need a book to tell you how to make black friends?
ME: Yes.
47061, yeah, everyone i know who did Amazon already got theirs.
Posted by bignick, Tue Feb-28-06 07:41 PM
in stores has been hit or miss. some stores have it in, some don't.
47062, they put it out in white stores early because they're not worried about theft

47063, Just Copped it on Amazon Five Minutes Ago
Posted by Bombastic, Wed Mar-01-06 08:56 PM
I've gotta support one of us actually doing something productive outside of this site that doesn't involve Fruity Loops & can actually be purchased in a store.

I'll be back with my thoughts on the book in 3-5 business days (yeah, I went with the cheap postage, this ain't a race motherf-ckas!).

Maybe it'll be great, maybe it'll be a good bathroom book, maybe it'll suck so bad that I'll think "If Nick can pull off getting published, so can I". I'll await the arrival of this opus with great anticipation.
47064, you mean, besides Snakes on a Plane the comic?

so far so good.
47072, saw it @ Barnes & Noble today in the humor section
Posted by buckshot defunct, Sat Mar-04-06 02:14 AM
Proudly displayed between "Garfield Fattens Out" and Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be a Redneck vol. 37"

I was really hoping to see it displayed in the "new release" section with a little more prominence, but that's outta Nick's hands I'm sure, and involves a bunch of B.S. I don't fully understand.

It's really weird reading a book by a fellow PTPer. Anytime I read a thought provoking passage, I was overwhelmed with this urge to click the "Reply with Quote" button. But there wasn't one.

But just so you know, your thoughts on Randy Travis felt like reading out of my diary.

Anyway, tons of respect and best of luck to you on this, man. I picked up a copy and look forward to reading it. And then *finally* start making friends with black people!
47073, I read it this weekend
Posted by PolarbearToenails, Sun Mar-05-06 10:26 PM
I really enjoyed it.

Seriously, though, you need to get them to copyedit the thing, there was like six or seven significant mistakes.
47074, it's only retards like you and me
Posted by janey, Mon Mar-06-06 01:28 PM
who find the editing to be disturbing.
47075, no, it isn't. my wife has SERIOUS beef with Kensington.
Posted by bignick, Mon Mar-06-06 02:25 PM
47076, no disrespect intended
Posted by janey, Mon Mar-06-06 02:38 PM
but your wife is a SNOOT (see, e.g., David Foster Wallace's lovely essay on usage, reprinted in his latest book of essays, Consider the Lobster). SNOOT sometimes stands for Syntax Nudniks of Our Time. I should know, though. I'm a SNOOT myself.
47077, I've noticed that too
Posted by Marauder21, Wed Mar-08-06 09:49 PM
And I don't even check for those kinds of things, but it was really noticeable.
47078, It's on the "Featured New Release" shelf at my local B&N
Posted by B9, Mon Mar-06-06 10:42 AM
It's getting face treatment in the Humor section and was on the "noteable new paperbacks" table up front too. I opted for Ballad of the Whiskey Robber, but seeing as though I'm without cable for 2 weeks, I'll get around to buying it next weekend.
47079, What I liked most about this book
Posted by janey, Mon Mar-06-06 01:28 PM
It's funny AND thought provoking. It's written in such a perfectly conversational style that I kept thinking I could interrupt and ask questions or bring up points of my own. I ended up having to discuss it with the cats.

But then I kept citing him. You know "My *friend* Nick is black and HE says." lol, j/k but I did keep giving him credit when I would start howling about some issue that he had put clearly and succinctly.
47080, hey bignick
Posted by janey, Mon Mar-06-06 06:41 PM
what's this about northern states? I'd never heard of them until I read your book, but ?uest produced? yikes.

Posted by celery77, Tue Mar-07-06 04:28 PM
If I have any complaints so far it's this:

I walked downtown to grab some food and the book, but it's turns out that you're book does NOT make it easy to read, walk, and eat at the same time. So I put the snacks on hold and kept reading. I finished the first chapter and it's some funny shit. Gonna go back to reading right now.

I'll actually read it sometime this week. I did read the first chapter in the bookstore (Barnes and Noble, who had like 10 copies on the shelf), and it looks like it will be good. Why aren't you this funny when you post on OKP?

Real good stuff there, Nick. But, you got it wrong on Steely Dan, they are very soulfull. They do not sound white, even though they do write these lyrics that only white guys would write..lol
47094, I saw it at B&N and said to my dad, "I know that guy"
Posted by Premiere, Tue Mar-14-06 07:49 PM
And the book was hilarious. Loved the ideas on Fat Albert and the white girl stories, even if you forgot to mention the part of the KRS-One story where he goes batshit crazy.
47095, is it my imagination or are only white people saying this is good?

I went with the extra-cheap shipping though, so I won't have much to say about it 'til the end of the month, aside from I like the cover art.
47099, I liked it a lot
Posted by smutsboy, Tue Mar-21-06 05:11 PM
Nick, you're a funny dude (who knew?!). But what I really enjoyed was the race and pop culture criticism. You had some poignant stuff to say about the Britany Spears types.

Funny story 1: people on the subway try and pretend like they're not noticing the title of the book this white dude is reading.

Funny story 2: the book was at home in the living room. my girlfriend is home and she lets in a (black) real estate agent who's showing our house... to a black couple. all three people give my girlfriend funny looks. the broker says, "yeah, i try to make friends with white people too."

lol.
