Do You: The Man Repeller Guide to Holiday Survival

Dr. Seuss is not back but you know who is? The rhyming enigma-as-storybook indigenous to Man Repeller as illustrated by one Charlotte Fassler. This guide around, it comes in tandem with the sweet, rhythmic melodies of Amelia ‘dumbass’ Diamond.

Cause of guide? The holidays, duh — which we will call holla-dayz henceforth — and all the parties that come with them. We may be past those of the office variety but figure that sliver of story a foretelling caution for next season and bask in the prolific advice to assuage the circumstances of elsewhere and otherwise.

Elsewhere and otherwise, you might wonder, where’s that? But come on, you know.

That awkward encounter with Aunt Kathy and Druncle George on Christmas Eve, the insincere sympathy you must dole for your vapid, Jewish friend and her late-month birthday (that’s me), and the most distantly imminent but highly lethal New Years parties, chock full of dickheads, which you will absolutely be present for.

Sit back, click through, laugh your ass off and, duh, HAPPY HOLLA-DAYZ!

We’ll see you next week.
