I got the book in the mail today. I've already read Battle for the Bowling Alley. All I can say it "WOW!". You are an author like no other. It was completely unpredictable. There were new and amazing things introduced in every sentence, especially the first few pages. You exhibit unprecedented wit and humor. Apocalypse Biff reminds me of Bravestarr's Handlebar with Thunderstick's skeletal facial outline. Gibb reminds me of the Star Wars C-3PO error card #207 -- for some unknown reason. So, does *The adventures of the Last Clown on Earth will continue* mean what I think it means?
Wow. That is the best review I've ever gotten for my writing. Consider me quite flattered and appreciative. Being that you and I have such similar interests, I'm really glad to hear you liked it. I enjoyed your mental images a well. I tried not to go too into detail on Gibb's look because I wanted folks to be able to picture him in their own way. But yeah, he could definitely have an error card 207 look once he finds the ... proper equipment. As to the tease, The Last Clown on Earth started as a one-shot, almost pilot, comic book that keeps getting put on hold. If I can't get it made, I do plan to turn that story into another short for the next collection. I also have an idea for a possible novella. So Karloff and the gang will be returning. Thanks again, good sir.
You had me at the title, but Sasquatch vs Nessie? And I'm glad that I settled on Karlov as my future character - not only named for the greatest Universal actor AND the Chicago street that I've spent a lot of time driving around as I dash. A fantastic pack of commercials too. 😊
Yes, siree. A bigfoot does indeed rumble with a nessy in the Whiskey Creek story. One of my finer moments, I might add. And it's hard to go wrong with a Karloff. Thanks, Doug.
@@AtomicSnackBar it was pretty good stuff. Good ol’ friendly violent claymation fun. I heard they did some later episodes but the original ones were awesome. MaryLynn Manson vs Hansen was epic
Since my relative mood lately can be described as apocalyptically noirish, I shall seek this book out and pray that the Karloff the Clown story does not freak me out beyond comprehension (although being in a state of incomprehension might be a good thing for a while).
Karloff is really only a clown due to his facial markings. He is far more the Man with No Name than birthday party clown. Now the other 300 clowns in the book, they are really something. No, I kid. Only Karloff. This time.
I found out a little while ago that the book is actually already out in Australia. I just can't view it on the site from here. But if you do a search for it, it'll be there and for the proper price. Thanks, Paul.
Awesome my friend congrats on the book and look forward to picking up a copy. And you can never go wrong with an old school TSR commercial to close it out.
Nice one, well done bud. I’ll grab a copy at some point, just gearing up for my eldest boys birthday, but when my finances have recovered I’ll grab a copy.
I won't spoil anything, but just let your bigfooted friend know that the sasquatch is one of the heroes of that particular story. His name is Van Cleef. Thank your bigfoot for me, if you would.

@@ICrazyGreggy Got an update from top secret sources in Australia. It's already out there. I just can't view the listing on my end. But you can do an Amazon search and it's good to go.
Just bought it on Zon. I might do a takeoff on it, sort of a parody of Carody's hilarity, a rarity for charity and for the adults,some vulgarity for the critic's disparity. Nice to see the Jergen's ad on the show, then it was time for Jergen's off to see the other ads.
@w.adammandelbaum1805 - Slickly slid that Jergen's is joke in at the last second there. Nice. Hopefully it slide past the Almighty. #stickitothealgorithum
In 2005, I bought the original tooling for Monster Machine online. I knew exactly what it was. The craft company I worked for sat on it. Jeez, ya can't win.
I love your channel so I know I'll love your book. It just so happens that I'm on a huge sword and sorcery reading kick, so I'll have to take a break from that and read your new book when it arrives. Congratulations and cheers 🍻
Much too kind, Kid. You have my thanks. And funnily enough, I've already started planning out a second volume and it will have a sword & sorcery novella in it. It's a wacky little world these all take place in.
On the subject of books, a fun topic to make a series on is classic sci-fi authors and the movies/shows that were made from their works. Ray Bradbury and Philip K. Dick come to mind. I remember getting into Philip K. Dick books in high school and being shocked by how many movies were based on his work.
About 15 years ago I started a non-fiction book about b-movies and exploitation films, but never really did anything with it. Writing non-fiction wasn't quite as rewarding as telling tall tales. That's a good idea, though. At very least, for a video or two.
The title brings to mind an epic sci fi 80s anime: Bubblegum Crisis. Back then I would bypass the DVD at the video store thinking it was aimed at middle schoolers. One day I came across a glowing review and gave it a chance. It is an awesome spectacle of ultra-violence.! Cyborgs, power armor, an evil corporation. It was like Charlie's Angels meets Blade Runner on crack!
That's one of my all time favorites. I liked the remake as well. I don't think, though, it had anything to do with the title. But I can't say for sure that it didn't slip in subconsciously. I was thinking more in musical terms. Bubblegum pop. Bubblegum punk. This is a Bubblegum Apocalypse.
Just finished your book, Bubblegum Apocalypse Noir. It was really a fun read. The characters were well thought out, the stories were fun, exciting, funny and thought provoking. If I had one complaint it would be I was a little disappointed that Gearheart didn't make one last appearence. I really liked that character. So much so that whenever I read his part I always read it in your voice. Hope you write another one soon and don't forget Gearheart. He needs his own book.
Oh man, this comment just made my day. I really appreciate the kind words and that you liked Gearheart. I have a particular fondness for that character as well. But worry not, Gearheart will definitely return. The little intro part with him and the elf-like detective Coco was a set up for the next adventure, Midnight City Nights. It will start with her side of what was going on and then join up with Gearheart's story when she calls him for assistance. Thanks again, August.
Congratulations, Sterling! I’m sure your novella will sell. I’m still working on my novella, a collection of short stories about a private detective and his adventures on and outside the firm that he works for. I have been working on this project since 1988. Now, I am getting closer to getting published. Keep pen to page, brother! 😎👍✌️
Thank you much, Gary. And that sounds like my kind of book. You'll have to keep me posted on your progress. Feel free to ask if you have any questions about self publishing.
@@AtomicSnackBar I am currently signed on with a self publishing company, because I can’t afford an agent(they are looking for the next best selling author and they are expensive). I have, according to the publisher, a novella that has 250 pages. Not really enough. So I have to send them more stories to augment the number of pages. I have a good feeling about this company because they give the author 100% royalties. If I had a good agent, I’d have to pay him/her almost half of the profits in order for that agent to spread my name around. I hope to be published by or before Christmas. But that depends on the ad campaign by the publishing company. Wish me luck.
@@AtomicSnackBar The bulk sales to bookstores that they sell both online and in stores around the world, if I understand it. The books are bought by Amazon and others that sell online. Bookstores like Barnes & Noble also buy a number of copies for the physical bookstores and libraries around the country. The author gets a quarterly profits check(three or four checks a year). But it may be difficult to say unless you are published and checking in with your publishing representative. I’m looking forward to getting this done. Over 35 years is a long time and I have I know that in publishing, like any other business, especially entertainment, there are no guarantees. Regardless of whether or not my work is successful, which depends upon the readers, at least I can say that I have been published. I had a class with a guy in junior college who was a member of a band. He and his bandmates recorded an album. Strangely enough, they couldn’t sell it in this country. But it sold very well in Japan. He gets royalty checks in the mail from time to time then. I asked if he and his bandmates considered playing live in Japan. He said that he was considering playing live in Japan. I don’t know the band’s name or the title of their album. But, he convinced me that there are people who are open minded about new things outside of the country. It worked for David Hasselhoff and other celebrities. Actress Belinda Bauer(who played Dr. Faxx in Robocop 2), writes books in Australia. It’s all possible.
I have been waiting on this for a pretty good while. Although we have only briefly talked about it, I wasn’t aware that there was going to be multiple stories. And by any chance you did tell me that people I blame it on madness in the brain. As you know I’m going to pick this up. Keep it Snacky!!!
Both are very possible. Space madness is a real thing this time of year. I really don't recall either way. But I appreciate it nonetheless. I think you'll have a good time with it. The Whiskey Creek story in particular.
Hey, I just ordered your book. it's the first thing I've bought on Amazon in years. I had to pay almost as much for the postage as I did for the book itself. I'm looking forward to reading it.
Hey Rob! Congrats on the new book man! It sounds like an awesome read. I ordered last night and I'm looking forward to checking it out. 😁 Also, I dug the collection of vintage ads as always! Have a nice weekend! 🤜🤛
Howdy! T-shirt arrives (and it's great) and now there's a book! Will aim to pick this up soon! Good luck with the sales and promotion, I know it can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Much love from up North, Joshua
I'm glad to hear that. I only have one teepublic shirt, I don't really wear tees, but I was really impressed with it. The book on the other hand is just pure nonsense. You want to avoid that. I kid. I kid. Thanks, Joshua. I appreciate you and your support.
@ Minikin 1- Which t-shirt did you order? Mine is the skull headed bug-eyed Alien astronaut. I got it in crimson red and he looks like he's extra pissed!
@@tonysantiago255 I went with the classic Atomic Snack Bar logo with the eye in the text. I was close to opting for the Zanti Misfits one, but wanted a bit more of a straight-line reference to the channel.
I will pause my usual antics in the comments to say that I'm both proud of you and very excited! Sign me up! Is it llama friendly? It's okay if not. I just need to know
I almost hit the 'Buy now' button, when the Amazon suggested titles showed a copy of biography of Larry Harmon, so I bought that instead. One clown a month is enough for my house. Maybe next month. Maybe. You know I'm lying, bud. Again. Looking forward to receiving my deluxe autographed copy complete with R.Sterling donut stains. I even bought the Limited edition 'Sprinkles' version.
I don't know, the Harmon book is pretty a better choice. Definitely less robots, aliens, and bikini-clad luchadoras. I know you aren't one for such things. Check your emails.
@ AtomicSnackBar - Dang you, Sterling. I opened up my email and BAM! Cyber Ninja attack! Curse you, R.Sterling Corduroy! I would wipe you out with my Death Ray, if I could just remember where I stashed the codes! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Hey, bud, I was just letting you know that I ordered your book. It looks funny and really cool. As I’ve mentioned before, I love your channel. Also, I thought I would mention that my new book came out the day after your book did, and I thought you might be interested in checking it out. It’s a fantasy novella called “The Anubis Stone,” and my author’s name is Josh L. Dean. It’s kind of like an Indiana Jones movie with magic and Egyptian mythology thrown in there. It’s now available on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback. Anyway, congratulations on your first book, and I hope it does well.
Well, then congratulations of your own are in order here. That sounds great. I added it to my Amazon list. Granted that list is long, but it's there nonetheless. I am also going to make this the pinned comment for the weekend. Maybe get some extra eyes on it. Thanks, Josh.
Shameless! Absolute, donut 🍩 enjoying, shamelessness! I can only hope the musical isn't performed at Dunkin'!! Congratulations...to diabetes! Well done on the book.🎉
Oh, I'm nowhere near Dunkin level just yet. But I can neither confirm nor deny the identity of the strange person standing in the alley out back of one screaming about Martians, robots, and luchadoras.
Wow, that's niche. I'll certainly be looking out for it. Incidentally, have you come across the Irish movie 'Apocalypse Clown'? Low-key, but dryly humourous, very watchable. (2022, available on UK Netflix). Possibly not out on Laserdisc, tho.
That cover makes me think “forty two” for some reason (c’mon sci-fi nerds you know what I’m talking about!) looks like I’m making some room on my book shelves
That's good. Pretty much what I was going for. I wanted it to look like and tribute vintage sci-fi paperbacks, just with an R.Sterling-twist. Not to be confused with my hot new dance move, THE R.Sterling Twist.
@@AtomicSnackBar THE Sterling Twist put me in traction for a week, for which I thank you By the way, my copy’s arriving on Monday. It shall take pride of place between Hitchhiker’s….. and Clive Barker’s Books of Blood Vol2

Just finished your book. What a fun read it was. Definitely different and looking forward to the next one. My only regret is that I missed out on the Loch Ness Sushi Roll at Pierre's.
That's really good to hear. That you liked it, that is. Not that you missed out on the Loch Ness Roll. I hear they were pretty tasty. Thanks so much for not only getting a copy, but for letting me know you dug it. Tons more in the works.
Sounds awesome but at $89.99 seems a bit exorbitant. Hold on, let adjust my glasses- my bad, $8.99. How are you gonna afford the variable flux capacitor to get your speeder out of the shop at these prices? Bad jokes aside, - ordered, good Sir.
$89.99 just barely covers the robot/donut taxes. You just have no idea how much those are these days. Oh wait, it was 8.99 wasn't it? Well, that's just a bargain right there. Somebody needs to talk to someone about that, if you ask me. But we here at Atomic Lounge Lizard Inc. thank you.
@@chrisbridges4885 I appreciate you mentioning that. I was pretty pleased with it myself. I was going for a 1970s sci-fi paperback kind of thing. Just with a me-twist.
@@tonysantiago255 There's a deep and complicated history/story behind there being sprinkles on the cover. Very serious. Very mysterious. Very sprinkled.
You had me at... "BIGFOOT VS. LOCH NESS MONSTER". As they say in every formulaic Heist Movie, "I'm in". DUDE! I'm sorry I missed you on the last one; great video, and I agree with all your picks. I went to see METALSTORM in the theater, The weekend it came out, in crappy, matte-line heavy 3-D! But Thomerson was always golden, and Richard Moll's sort-of-Tars-Tarkus was a stand out, the eye-thing most of all. Glad you got to see DAMNATION ALLEY; I just love the LANDMASTER. Like Nolan's TUMBLER, it looks good because it actually works. It could roll right over a three-foot bolder. I look for that S!!T in my post-apocalyptic war-wagons. I'll have found mine by the time you and I meet up at the end of the world. Right now, I'm trying to figure out what to name the eye symbol on the cover of your book... "ILLUMI-DONUTY"? Just 'ILLUMINUTY? I guess there are some things men are not meant to know.
@ user-dh2qf5kd8c - Hey man. Missed ya last week. Great observation. The only thing missing from your Conspiracy theory is the triangle/pyramid. But, considering R.Sterling's obsession with one eyed creatures, this has invasion written all over it.
Wheels within wheels; Donuts within donuts, man! Food of the Gods! BTW, I only trust cyclopean horrors if they are covered in chocolate... and not that pink icing-donut that always ends up being taken last.

book ordered - how could I not buy your book? your vids are so good and it is your talent and wit, so a in book form, it's a must. I'm a very slow reader, so it may be a while before I finish it. just back from visiting my mum over the weekend - she live quite a way from us, so we spent the weekend at a holiday camp - do you have those in America? nice little vid.
I appreciate it, my geetar rockin' friend. And no worries about how long it takes. Luckily, being a collection, you read it at a more leisurely pace. Holiday camp, you say? We may have something similar under a different name. What does one of those involve?
@@AtomicSnackBar accommodation is individual units kind of like static caravans. There is an entertainment centre with a bar/restaurant, an arcade, swimming pool and entertainment for the kiddies - kids disco, bingo etc. Its kind of more of a working class thing - I think so that kids can go off and give the parents a break.

Some people think that they can write because they like cool stuff or read a lot - but you really have a talent. Many thanks - looking forward to the next story.
@@wetdog1606 Very much appreciated, buddy. I'm glad you dug it. The rest is different in genre, but the style and humor remains about the same. And I know exactly what you mean about people who think they can write. It's a lot tougher than it seems.

An excellent question. Even though my signature would probably lesson the worth of the book, I have been thinking on a way to make that happen. Haven't got it yet. But I'm working on it.

Funnily enough, one of the stories began life as a screenplay I was hired to write. The film never got made, and I held onto the book rights, so turned it into a novella.

The Next day delivery charges probably would be outrageous. Less than the tank of gas it would take me to drive up there. Can you imagine going through Customs and when they ask why you're crossing over into Canada, the answer is: "Donuts."?

@@AtomicSnackBar Hey, I appreciate it that you'd help me, but I'm not publishing anything. I hadn't even thought about the possibility of it until now.
@ destructarr - Step 1 : Write book. Step 2 : get it published. Step 3 : Wait for the Doe-ray-me to roll in. And Step 4, the most important one: NEVER listen to anything I say. I've been working on one for over 10 years and nuttin'. Only take advice from someone who's done it.

Fun is a good way to put it. Thanks, John.
You amaze me everytime.
You need a tv series next.
I'd be happy just to finally get my comic out there. Probably wouldn't turn down a TV series, though.
Thanks, Shikster.
Just bought it on Zon. I might do a takeoff on it, sort of a parody of Carody's hilarity, a rarity for charity and for the adults,some vulgarity for the critic's disparity.
Nice to see the Jergen's ad on the show, then it was time for Jergen's off to see the other ads.
Luckily, the book shouldn't prove to be a rarity. It does, though, lack in vulgarity, insincerity, and vascularity.
@w.adammandelbaum1805 - Slickly slid that Jergen's is joke in at the last second there. Nice. Hopefully it slide past the Almighty. #stickitothealgorithum
@@AtomicSnackBar book came in yesterday--donuts and martinis, help build strong bodies twelve ways. will read it this weekend, looks good.
@@w.adammandelbaum1805 Most excellent. That said, make sure you follow the safety instructions. Don't want you to get attacked by ninjas.
@@AtomicSnackBar Okay RSC I put my 5 star review of the book on zon for your viewing pleasure.
Collection of Short Stories! That's awesome!
Cool collection of short advertising films at the end of this video (aka commercials)!
Awesome is how the book is described in the encyclopedia.
@@AtomicSnackBar Nice!
I definitely need to get a copy. Congratulations Slim.
Thanks, J-Man. You're a spiffy young lad.
In 2005, I bought the original tooling for Monster Machine online. I knew exactly what it was. The craft company I worked for sat on it. Jeez, ya can't win.
It's a world wide Monster Machine conspiracy.
I love your channel so I know I'll love your book. It just so happens that I'm on a huge sword and sorcery reading kick, so I'll have to take a break from that and read your new book when it arrives. Congratulations and cheers 🍻
Much too kind, Kid. You have my thanks. And funnily enough, I've already started planning out a second volume and it will have a sword & sorcery novella in it. It's a wacky little world these all take place in.
Congratulations on your new book. It sounds like a great read. My order was placed as soon as I saw the cover.
Clearly a gentleman that knows a fine cover when he sees it.
On the subject of books, a fun topic to make a series on is classic sci-fi authors and the movies/shows that were made from their works. Ray Bradbury and Philip K. Dick come to mind. I remember getting into Philip K. Dick books in high school and being shocked by how many movies were based on his work.
About 15 years ago I started a non-fiction book about b-movies and exploitation films, but never really did anything with it. Writing non-fiction wasn't quite as rewarding as telling tall tales. That's a good idea, though. At very least, for a video or two.
Congratulations!
Thanks, Cesar. Much appreciated.
Congrats I am also trying to get into the writing scene myself and I am happy to see you make a novel.
Thank you much. It is rather rewarding to finally see it in print.
Its only 12$ with free shipping and thats to Canada wtf just got one can't wait you are the best!!
Great. I really appreciate it, Rick. And I made an effort to keep the price low. I just want folks to read it and enjoy.
OOOHHHHH nice!!!! I will definitely be grabbing this. This will probably pair with the 2020 Texas Gladiators 4K I grabbed from Severin Films.
Hot dog. Now that's a good pairing, right there. Thanks, pal.
Just ordered my copy of your book. I can hardly wait until Amazon gets it to me.
Many thanks, Mr. Dee. I think you'll get a kick out of it.

I think you made the right call. I can't promise the book won't make your chest hair fall out anyways.
Just ordered it!
Very much appreciated. Thanks, George. I hope you dig it.
Well I ordered the book.. be delivered Tuesday ✌️😎
That's great. I appreciate it. And I'm glad they are getting out there so quickly. Hope you dig it.
The title brings to mind an epic sci fi 80s anime: Bubblegum Crisis. Back then I would bypass the DVD at the video store thinking it was aimed at middle schoolers. One day I came across a glowing review and gave it a chance. It is an awesome spectacle of ultra-violence.! Cyborgs, power armor, an evil corporation. It was like Charlie's Angels meets Blade Runner on crack!
That's one of my all time favorites. I liked the remake as well. I don't think, though, it had anything to do with the title. But I can't say for sure that it didn't slip in subconsciously. I was thinking more in musical terms. Bubblegum pop. Bubblegum punk. This is a Bubblegum Apocalypse.
@@AtomicSnackBar Im looking forward to reading iyour book.
@@rogervandusen8361 I look forward to you reading it. It's a wacky good time.
Alright, I'm trusting you. This book better make me rich, and a king, and stuff.
We here at Atomic Lounge Lizard Inc. make no such promises. But we can assure you that you will be 25% less likely to be attacked by ninjas.
I haven't bought something from amazon in a while. sounds like something to add to the list.
Yes, I do believe so. Never know when this arcane tome might come in handy.
I'm surely interested
There's even two giant creatures in it, if that further interests your interest.
Just finished your book, Bubblegum Apocalypse Noir.
It was really a fun read. The characters were well thought out, the stories were fun, exciting, funny and thought provoking.
If I had one complaint it would be I was a little disappointed that Gearheart didn't make one last appearence. I really liked that character. So much so that whenever I read his part I always read it in your voice.
Hope you write another one soon and don't forget Gearheart. He needs his own book.
Oh man, this comment just made my day. I really appreciate the kind words and that you liked Gearheart. I have a particular fondness for that character as well.
But worry not, Gearheart will definitely return. The little intro part with him and the elf-like detective Coco was a set up for the next adventure, Midnight City Nights. It will start with her side of what was going on and then join up with Gearheart's story when she calls him for assistance.
Thanks again, August.
Congratulations, Sterling! I’m sure your novella will sell. I’m still working on my novella, a collection of short stories about a private detective and his adventures on and outside the firm that he works for. I have been working on this project since 1988. Now, I am getting closer to getting published.
Keep pen to page, brother! 😎👍✌️
Thank you much, Gary. And that sounds like my kind of book. You'll have to keep me posted on your progress. Feel free to ask if you have any questions about self publishing.
@@AtomicSnackBar I am currently signed on with a self publishing company, because I can’t afford an agent(they are looking for the next best selling author and they are expensive). I have, according to the publisher, a novella that has 250 pages. Not really enough. So I have to send them more stories to augment the number of pages. I have a good feeling about this company because they give the author 100% royalties. If I had a good agent, I’d have to pay him/her almost half of the profits in order for that agent to spread my name around. I hope to be published by or before Christmas. But that depends on the ad campaign by the publishing company. Wish me luck.
@@garyreid2178 That's interesting. Never heard of anything quite like that. So if you get 100% of royalties, how do they get paid?
@@AtomicSnackBar The bulk sales to bookstores that they sell both online and in stores around the world, if I understand it. The books are bought by Amazon and others that sell online. Bookstores like Barnes & Noble also buy a number of copies for the physical bookstores and libraries around the country. The author gets a quarterly profits check(three or four checks a year). But it may be difficult to say unless you are published and checking in with your publishing representative. I’m looking forward to getting this done. Over 35 years is a long time and I have I know that in publishing, like any other business, especially entertainment, there are no guarantees. Regardless of whether or not my work is successful, which depends upon the readers, at least I can say that I have been published.
I had a class with a guy in junior college who was a member of a band. He and his bandmates recorded an album. Strangely enough, they couldn’t sell it in this country. But it sold very well in Japan. He gets royalty checks in the mail from time to time then. I asked if he and his bandmates considered playing live in Japan. He said that he was considering playing live in Japan. I don’t know the band’s name or the title of their album. But, he convinced me that there are people who are open minded about new things outside of the country. It worked for David Hasselhoff and other celebrities.
Actress Belinda Bauer(who played Dr. Faxx in Robocop 2), writes books in Australia.
It’s all possible.
@@garyreid2178 You'll have to keep me posted on your progress and how it all goes. I am curious.
Be sure to let us know when it drops in Australia! 👍
Turns out, it is already out in Australia on Amazon. I just can't view the listing here in the U.S. But if you do a search for it, it should be there.
@@AtomicSnackBar Yup, just ordered a copy - Can't wait!
@@Poohze01 Most excellent. I really appreciate it.
Congrats! The stories sound fun. I look forward to reading it.
Thank you much, Simon. And fun is probably the best way to describe it. It's all just lighthearted, oddball little tales.
@ AtomicSnackBar - much like the light hearted oddball that wrote it. Zing!
@@tonysantiago255 I'm not sure something so accurate can count as a Zing.
@ AtomicSnackBar - bu-dump-bump? That's what SHE said! R. Sterling Clownpants Esq.
@@tonysantiago255 Yes, probably so.
I have been waiting on this for a pretty good while. Although we have only briefly talked about it, I wasn’t aware that there was going to be multiple stories. And by any chance you did tell me that people I blame it on madness in the brain. As you know I’m going to pick this up. Keep it Snacky!!!
Both are very possible. Space madness is a real thing this time of year. I really don't recall either way. But I appreciate it nonetheless. I think you'll have a good time with it. The Whiskey Creek story in particular.
@@AtomicSnackBar Got my copy ordered
Hey, I just ordered your book. it's the first thing I've bought on Amazon in years. I had to pay almost as much for the postage as I did for the book itself. I'm looking forward to reading it.
Well, I do appreciate that, especially with the shipping. But if you order 35 bucks worth, you get free shipping. Need any blurays or toy displays?
@@AtomicSnackBar All I wanted was your book, so it was cheaper to just pay the shipping.
Hey Rob! Congrats on the new book man! It sounds like an awesome read. I ordered last night and I'm looking forward to checking it out. 😁 Also, I dug the collection of vintage ads as always! Have a nice weekend! 🤜🤛
I thank you much, my good man. And I appreciate you grabbing one. Now you just need to get to work on your ultimate Twilight Zone book.
Howdy!
T-shirt arrives (and it's great) and now there's a book! Will aim to pick this up soon! Good luck with the sales and promotion, I know it can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
Much love from up North,
Joshua
I'm glad to hear that. I only have one teepublic shirt, I don't really wear tees, but I was really impressed with it. The book on the other hand is just pure nonsense. You want to avoid that.
I kid. I kid. Thanks, Joshua. I appreciate you and your support.
@@AtomicSnackBar I'm down for nonsense like a moth to flame.
@@Minikin1 Then this is the book for you.
@ Minikin 1- Which t-shirt did you order? Mine is the skull headed bug-eyed Alien astronaut. I got it in crimson red and he looks like he's extra pissed!

Very cool. Thank you much.
I will pause my usual antics in the comments to say that I'm both proud of you and very excited! Sign me up!
Is it llama friendly? It's okay if not. I just need to know
There are no llamas of any kind in this book. So I guess that means it isn't llama-friendly. It's not llama-hostile either, though.
@ AtomicSnackBar - Ah...so you're A llama 'fence-sitter'. I suspected as much.
@@tonysantiago255 It's true, my feelings about llamas are not strong either way.
I almost hit the 'Buy now' button, when the Amazon suggested titles showed a copy of biography of Larry Harmon, so I bought that instead. One clown a month is enough for my house. Maybe next month. Maybe. You know I'm lying, bud. Again. Looking forward to receiving my deluxe autographed copy complete with R.Sterling donut stains. I even bought the Limited edition 'Sprinkles' version.
I don't know, the Harmon book is pretty a better choice. Definitely less robots, aliens, and bikini-clad luchadoras. I know you aren't one for such things.
Check your emails.
@ AtomicSnackBar - Dang you, Sterling. I opened up my email and BAM! Cyber Ninja attack! Curse you, R.Sterling Corduroy! I would wipe you out with my Death Ray, if I could just remember where I stashed the codes! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
@@tonysantiago255 I really like the name R.Sterling Clownpants. You don't know how tempted I was to use that.
@ AtomicSnackBar - I dig it! Make it so, Number One! Also, don't listen to anything I say.
Hey, bud, I was just letting you know that I ordered your book. It looks funny and really cool. As I’ve mentioned before, I love your channel. Also, I thought I would mention that my new book came out the day after your book did, and I thought you might be interested in checking it out. It’s a fantasy novella called “The Anubis Stone,” and my author’s name is Josh L. Dean. It’s kind of like an Indiana Jones movie with magic and Egyptian mythology thrown in there. It’s now available on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback. Anyway, congratulations on your first book, and I hope it does well.
Well, then congratulations of your own are in order here. That sounds great. I added it to my Amazon list. Granted that list is long, but it's there nonetheless. I am also going to make this the pinned comment for the weekend. Maybe get some extra eyes on it.
Thanks, Josh.
@@AtomicSnackBar Thanks, man. I appreciate your interest and support. Have a great weekend.
Shameless! Absolute, donut 🍩 enjoying, shamelessness! I can only hope the musical isn't performed at Dunkin'!! Congratulations...to diabetes!
Well done on the book.🎉
Oh, I'm nowhere near Dunkin level just yet. But I can neither confirm nor deny the identity of the strange person standing in the alley out back of one screaming about Martians, robots, and luchadoras.
Same here. Got your book and read "Battle of the Bowling Alley", loved it.
Fantastic. That is really good to hear. Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully you dig the others just as much.
That is the most perfect looking donut and I don't just mean that in a dirty way
Only the finest donuts here at the Snack Bar.
Wow, that's niche. I'll certainly be looking out for it.
Incidentally, have you come across the Irish movie 'Apocalypse Clown'? Low-key, but dryly humourous, very watchable. (2022, available on UK Netflix). Possibly not out on Laserdisc, tho.
"Wow, that's niche" pretty much describes everything I do.
And no laserdisc release? Egards, man.
That cover makes me think “forty two” for some reason (c’mon sci-fi nerds you know what I’m talking about!) looks like I’m making some room on my book shelves
That's good. Pretty much what I was going for. I wanted it to look like and tribute vintage sci-fi paperbacks, just with an R.Sterling-twist. Not to be confused with my hot new dance move, THE R.Sterling Twist.
@@AtomicSnackBar THE Sterling Twist put me in traction for a week, for which I thank you

@@haitch2676 Great. Now only a few more to go.
Just bought a copy off of Amazon. Hope it's good because the shipping cost almost as much as the book.
That's odd. The shipping shouldn't have been much at all. Are you US, UK, or Canada based?
@@AtomicSnackBar U.S. I'm used to it. Amazon goes crazy with shipping costs unless you join Prime (witch I didn't).

@@BernieOConnor-x7k Yes, the proper uniform. We would also accept bowling shirts and/or tuxedos.

Bad jokes aside, - ordered, good Sir.
$89.99 just barely covers the robot/donut taxes. You just have no idea how much those are these days.
Oh wait, it was 8.99 wasn't it? Well, that's just a bargain right there. Somebody needs to talk to someone about that, if you ask me.
But we here at Atomic Lounge Lizard Inc. thank you.

@@chrisbridges4885 I appreciate you mentioning that. I was pretty pleased with it myself. I was going for a 1970s sci-fi paperback kind of thing. Just with a me-twist.
@ AtomicSnackBar - And with sprinkles! Look at you, all subverting expectations and stuff.
@@tonysantiago255 There's a deep and complicated history/story behind there being sprinkles on the cover. Very serious. Very mysterious. Very sprinkled.

You had me at... "BIGFOOT VS. LOCH NESS MONSTER". As they say in every formulaic Heist Movie, "I'm in".
DUDE! I'm sorry I missed you on the last one; great video, and I agree with all your picks. I went to see METALSTORM in the theater, The weekend it came out, in crappy, matte-line heavy 3-D! But Thomerson was always golden, and Richard Moll's sort-of-Tars-Tarkus was a stand out, the eye-thing most of all.
Glad you got to see DAMNATION ALLEY; I just love the LANDMASTER. Like Nolan's TUMBLER, it looks good because it actually works. It could roll right over a three-foot bolder. I look for that S!!T in my post-apocalyptic war-wagons. I'll have found mine by the time you and I meet up at the end of the world.
Right now, I'm trying to figure out what to name the eye symbol on the cover of your book... "ILLUMI-DONUTY"? Just 'ILLUMINUTY? I guess there are some things men are not meant to know.
@ user-dh2qf5kd8c - Hey man. Missed ya last week. Great observation. The only thing missing from your Conspiracy theory is the triangle/pyramid. But, considering R.Sterling's obsession with one eyed creatures, this has invasion written all over it.

I appreciate it, my geetar rockin' friend. And no worries about how long it takes. Luckily, being a collection, you read it at a more leisurely pace.
Holiday camp, you say? We may have something similar under a different name. What does one of those involve?
@@AtomicSnackBar accommodation is individual units kind of like static caravans.
