Head over to Gun Geek Rants. We have a band capable of producing proper metal and interested in the challenge of recording the song from MHI. 

If you remember, this is the song from Owen’s brother’s band, Cabbage Point Killing Machine.  The only known parts of the song were sung by Skippy.  “Hold pig steady … dum dum dum … ra ra ra … yeah. Pig. Pig! PIG!”

And no spoilers, but Skippy isn’t the clearest of speakers. So that gives you a lot of room to work.

Let’s ROCK!

EDIT:  A google search shows a surprising number of hits for “Hold the Pig Steady.” Apparently holding your pig steady for various things is rather important, and should not in any way be taken lightly.  Monster Hunter Nation is not responsible for any injuries sustained from lack of proper pig manipulation. Void in California.

George has done a series of articles “Guns of X” where he goes through a movie and talks about every gun in every scene. He is attempting to do the same thing with MHI. It is still a work in progress, because as he says, there are a LOT of guns in this book.

Check out his other Guns Of articles. They are pretty sweet.

Direct from Casa De Correia, autographed copies of MHI, to your door!

It looks like there is enough interest, so I’m going to order a bunch more copies of Monster Hunter International.  You can order them direct from me, and if you want your autograph personalized at all, just include that in the ordering notes. 

I’m going to charge cover price $7.99 + $4 for shipping and handling. (it looks like I can mail a paperback for $2.50 something + I’ve got to buy the padded envelopes, and figure most of you will probably pay with Paypal so that should cover the fees).  

My Paypal is slg2qcorreia AT yahoo DOT com.  That is an S L G, not Sig. It is an old Utah State designation, but I’ve had it for a long time.

If you don’t like Paypal e-mail me at that same address and I’ll send you my mailing address.

I will try to turn these around as quickly as possible. I sold all but a couple of my copies at Saturday’s signing, (not bad for a town with one stoplight!) and am ordering more copies today.

EDIT: Forgot, if you want a patch also, just include another $2.50 and say so. I usually charge $3.00, but that is because I usually have to pay for the stamps too.

Thanks,

-Larry

I’ll be at Out of the Box in Delta Utah tomorrow from 3-5 doing a Q&A and signing books.

This is actually great.

I’m getting 5 star reviews like crazy, and even English professors are giving me 4, and the first 3 I got said he still wanted to read the sequels, but leave it to somebody who hasn’t actually read the book to give it a 1 because of my political beliefs. 

Hey… wait a second… wasn’t it the left that was supposed to be like the party of free speech and enlightenment and tolerance and stuff?  Hmmm…. 

I still watch movies with Tim Robbins in them because despite his being a moron, he’s a really good actor (mostly). I will watch Megan Fox run in a tank top (which is as close as she gets to acting anyway). I do draw the line on Rosie O’Donnel, because she’s so obnoxious and unfunny that even if politcally she was Ron Paul the Second I wouldn’t be able to stand her.  How is it that us “right wing whack jobs” are able to still find enjoyment in life?

I read books by people with drastically different political opinions than mine. I’ve posted plugs to my friend Paul Genesses’ Dragon Hunters series a few times, even though we disagree politically, he’s a really nice guy who is earnest in what he believes, and he is a really good writer.  (Seriously, if you want a good fantasy series, pick them up the Golden Cord and Iron Dragon Amazon).

And why is it that when you disagree with the left, you are some sort of “Fox news junkie”?  I never really got that, as my political opinions were formed well in advance of there even being a FOX, or me even having cable. My politcal opinions were formed as a young man watching his home state fall apart under total democrat control, while the industry (farming) that I grew up in, was molested constantly by a bunch of political hacks, and my favorite hobby (guns) was demonized.  Interestingly enough, when I recently got onto Facebook, I found a couple of my best friends from high school. I hadn’t spoken to them in over a decade, but on our info page we’re all right wing leaning libertarians. Go figure. Must be because of all that FOX. 

Actually, I disagree with Bill O’Reilly a lot, because I think he’s too soft on morons, and he buys into global warming.  I get most of my news off the internet.

Well, at least we got that out of the way. The only other really negative review I’ve gotten was on some web forum, where the guy was so filled with hate for me personally that I suspect I must know him somehow, and probably owe him money.  🙂

EDIT: And on the other hand, I get reviews like this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qtr-rKZxCA  George is one of my early proof readers.  This is good, I hadn’t gotten his Grimnoir feedback yet, but looks like another winner.  George has read a LOT of books.
