by now, you've come to see facebook as a drab landscape, filled with the mundane day-to-day ramblings of your boring 'friends', most of whom you have no idea who they are. that's because you don't know sandy mcknight. sandy keeps his 'fb friends' entertained with all manner of hilarious observations and bizarre postings. now you can read the best of his statuses in "my status is not quo", a book many consider the best ever written, or at least, a book that was ever written. now you can read this book and avoid your dull, real-life friends once and for all.

Marco Dante is a cross between Robert Moses, Barry McGuire and Jack Lescoulie. But get this...he's really fake! Yes, he is the product of the mind of Sandy McKnight, comedy writer and musician extraordinaire. Imagine, a made-up character! You've gotta read this book... it's humorous! (for British readers: humourous!) Included in this collection of short stories and essays is the classic "The Steve Derry Decade", a 'what if' journey through the sixties; "endives", a philosophical rant that asks the hard questions; and other pieces that will remind you of Steve Martin, Woody Allen, and other authors of alternative absurdist comedy.
