    <![CDATA[What if? What if words could be put into logical structures called sentences? What if these sentences could make larger units of meaning called paragraphs? What if these paragraphs were naked with whipped cream all over them? What if you could own this tawdry collection of whipped cream covered structures of meaning based on words for your very own? The second book in the Daniel Clausen cannon of awesomeness, this collection of short stories and random musings promises to take you to another dimension of funkadelic wordliness.<br/><br/>Free to preview and download on the website<br/><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.lulu.com/danielclausen">www.lulu.com/danielclausen</a>]]>
