Well, at least the reader would have the terminology right as someone busts his you know what. Should I admit I have a Horses for Dummies book? Well, I got a better clue about what I was thinking about getting into. And then my friend, also a bb, got on a horse who hadn't been ridden for awhile, bucked her, and she tore a hamstring!!! I don't think she rode for a long time after that! TW

You might be surprised at what you find in these books.

Hi, I'm Georgia and I'm a For-Dummies-Books-aholic.

I have Chess for Dummies - bought it to better my game and help my daughter learn. There is excellent information in that volume and references to specialty books that are definitely high-level chess.

Heck, I might even buy thte Fighting for Dummies!! (frantically pulls up Amazon)

Hey I bought that book so the guy I played chess with wouldn't beat me in like 10 moves anymore. It somewhat helped but he beat me in chess every sticking day for a year and a half. :rolleyes:

Am thinking of making one that's "Caving For Dummies"... might be helpful. :D
You BB's in your respective arts should do your own... i.e. Kenpo for Dummies, Wing-Chun for Dummies, Ninjitsu, and so forth... at least when they're published we can all get together for a book signing party eh?

Sure go ahead.

I have pics of us playing the "Winning for Dummies" slot machines in Vegas.

I also have "Homebrewing For Dummies"

Good stuff.

While I agree that these books offer up front information, I really wonder what the changes were from Version 1 to Version 2. :idunno:

:rofl:
