Humorist Josh Muggins Returns with "Wussie: In Praise of Spineless Men" from Petty Pace Press

    MINNEAPOLIS, MN, February 07, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Josh Muggins, best known for his 2005 memoir "How to Pick up Japanese Chicks and Doom Your Immortal Soul," has released his third book, "Wussie: In Praise of Spineless Men," from Petty Pace Press, currently available in Kindle e-book format only.

A mashup of biographical sketches (aka "Profiles in Wussitude"), essays, anecdotes, and the odd review of adult toys for timid men, "Wussie: In Praise of Spineless Men" scrutinizes male gutlessness from every imaginable angle. Such exemplary dastards from history and legend as the biblical Isaac (a willing if sulky accessory to his own sacrifice), corpse-loving weirdo Henry David Thoreau, and compulsive wine-diluter Thomas Jefferson are tenderly skewered in the process.

Muggins, self-proclaimed American humorist and lifelong wussie, touches on many of the aspects of modern life that awe the spineless--demanding bosses, cordial streetwalkers, Lindsay Lohan, airport security, airports, air--while offering scant hope of redemption. He also recounts such wussilicious misadventures from his own life as his difficulty disposing of the worn-out corpse of his human-face-having fellatio simulator (burnable? plastic? organic?) and his pathetic efforts to convince the three fetching college students who have taken him on a cross-country camping trip that he is not, as they insist, "harmless."

How do wussies face death? How do they face sex workers, or Starbucks baristas? One man's answers to these questions and many more are to be found in "Wussie: In Praise of Spineless Men," now on sale only via Amazon's Kindle store for $7.95.
