Joe Peacock (p.s. worst name ever) probably surrounded himself with people that said "Joe! Dude, you need to write about book about all the weird things that have happened to you!" not considering that there are other people in the world -- ok, in this country, even, that most definitely have had weirder things happen to them. In fact, I guarantee ever single reader of Mentally Incontinent has said aloud, "If this guy thinks he's got problems, then he should look at my life, beca...more
He's not the kind of guy I expect to be a writer. He barely finished a year of college, screwed around through most of high school and spends most of his time playing video games and getting tattoos. But about ten years ago Joe Peacock started writing on the internet and developed quite a following on his website, mentallyincontinent.com. This success eventually landed him a real book deal with a real publisher and Mentally Incontinent, the book, was born. Defying the odds, Joe Peacock is of...more
Joe is supposed to be funny. Joe was my next door neighbor when he was a kid. Now that he is rich and famous, he won't give me money - how funny is that?
Really, this collection of stories, voted the -best of- by his devoted blog readers is a great read and I would have rated it the same regardless. A lot of strange stuff happens to some people, and Joe is one of those people!

This one was a disappointment, only because it was supposed to be funny. The stories were well-written and touching, but not really funny. The title, and subtitle, (and way off introduction) hype you up to read the craziest stories ever. Not even close.
I have experienced WAY crazier things than this guy, and comparatively, feel like I could write "funny" in my sleep.
Quick and easy, though.

Contrary to the press blurb, this man is no David Sedaris. In face, a local writer I adore and envy (yes, Christa, this is you) can write this man under the train with one hand tied behind her back. The potential for entertainment can be seen but is elusively just out of reach. Okay, Christa, if this doesn't prove that I'm right about your book potential nothing else ever will!
Wasn't as funny as I thought it was going to be, but a very cute book about the mishaps that teenage and young adult boys can get into. Including, stalker girlfriends, setting Hooter's on fire, and other such adventures. Quick light read.
I think it's safe to say that no book could possible live up to that delightful title, but this one comes pretty darn close. It was also absolutely what I needed at the end of a particularly dreadful day. Why, I dare say I even chuckled...Like snark? Then this one's for you!
Light humorous memoir of countless horrible things happening to one guy. Good mindless read. The author has a good flow to his writing. Would have given 3.5, but it won't let me. :)
Some parts of this book were funny, but most of it was the juvenile memoir of a teenage slacker/hacker.
I really wanted this to be funnier, but it just didn't tickle my funny bone much at all. Oh well, maybe it's just me.
Funny stories but I don't suggest reading this if you are the parent of a teenage son.
Really not very obnoxious or scandalous as all. A poor man's Tucker Max.
Ugh.
I think Joe was writing for someone else than me -- I quit about half was through.
Short read that is fun. Not great writing, but made me laugh through-out
very funny stories. short stories good to read for fun
