Everyone has heard of the "for dummy's" series of books. Telling anyone how they can do anything . They can teach you to write a book ,all the way to commit frivolous mail fraud. Its all there!! Just like some kind of perverse buffet of carreers. Except that it doesn't work. Yah , they would like you to think that you can learn to perform the Osaku Japanese Tea Ceremony , but you'll just end up serving earl gray to a bunch of "family friends" on a sunday afternoon.It even has instructions on how to make a home made Kimono from drapes!! I only say these things because its about the truest thing that can possibly be said of these books. I have proof.Right here. It all started with an HTML self help book. Yes , its true . Alias Hacker Cleo , has tryed to use a self help book , so that he could learn some more HTML , and also stop talking in third person.

I know what your saying , "Hacker Cleo must not be a good web site manager/runner/puker/communist/ guy". Well , its half true.Especially half true about the socialist thing. I was totally ready to actually work on my website , by adding some really cool new layouts and what not. It turned out that in order to do that with this book , you needed to know how to read the language of dork and possibly a dash of "bad-writing". It took this guy at least 3 inches of book to tell me how to start HTML , advanced HTML , site layout , and other good , worth while information , by not showing or teaching me any HTML at all.Good job HTMLoser. I got this book to learn. It told me nothing at all!!!!!!!. I'm so tired of this. I shouldn't have trusted the "for dummys" marketing demons , with their enticingly yellow book cover , and warm , supposedly understanding attitude. "We know that you dont know! Thats why were going to take your money!".

Now really , I was a little upset , but at least there was a free comic at the book store. You can't beat spending alot of random money on a fat useless book , then getting a free 15 page comic. Its ok , I still learned somethings , like 13 chapters of a book , can have lots of letters but never tell you anything. Just trying to prove my point again. If you ever see a for dummy's book , or a for dummys author , please , put a brick into your hand , and punch him in the face.Or better yet...make your own adobe brick , except , dont add straw , add nails. Make sure to point them in many painful and stabby positions. Then , after the brick has dried , paint it in glue , and dip it in a pile of glass that has passed through the sewage pipe of "Fat al's Chili , stew , steak , taco , salsa , meatball , and exlax house".Then you can commence with the punching.
