you can throw and catch.

It is in stores now.

A: I have some very good pre-John Hodgman, authentic 1970 hobo coverage coming soon. You just hold onto yer britches.

Q: What have people said so far about the book?
A: Lots of things! All positive, like this comment:

I like the part about how Ultimate has saved so many lives and no one knows that.
Ultimate really is the most totally righteous sport ever.
