Jon calls this "a work of genius"--and I had to pay him almost nothing for the blurb. More mystery and mayhem in the Ivy League, mixing my world with real history to create something entertaining.


I've combed my archives to create this collection of my magazine humor. From The Yale Record to The New Yorker, the best of the pre-Barry years is in here.


My first non-parodic novel is now available! It's school like it ought to be: loud, eventful, and full of swearing!


I'm probably going to Hell for this C.S. Lewis spoof.


The ultimate Harry Potter parody. Three novels, 25 foreign editions, over a million copies sold--it's too much to list here, but you can read excerpts and buy the books at Barrytrotter.com!

Jon Schwarz unearthed...

...this clip from Python Graham Chapman's memorial service in October 1989. It has a bit of swearing in it, which I think should become a permanent feature of memorial services worldwide.

Jon Schwarz has what I think...

...are some excellent ideas here.

But really this is just an excuse to relay a story I heard this fall from the director Tobe Hooper. Mr. Hooper said that he got the idea for leatherface not from Wisconsin serial killer Ed Gein, but from his family physician growing up. Apparently during his med school days, this freakizoid thought it would be a hoot to excise the face from a cadaver and wear it as a mask on Halloween.

JESUS!

I'm taking a break from cleaning...

...the eggs off my door and the toilet paper out of the trees to post about two things:

1) a funny Homestar Runner.

2) The movie "New York Doll." Go see it when it comes to your town--it's very interesting, and quite touching, too. I couldn't find a super link for it, but you can Google it and find plenty more information.

Oh, great--there's a bag of dog poop on my steps...Wow, it's still flaming!
