a bit fresher than the Bible or Shakespeare,
it’s time to turn to Geek Wisdom.

Wisdom about the self from Frederick Frankenstein:

“Destiny! Destiny! No escaping that for me!”
Wisdom about relationships from Mr. Spock:
“I have been, and always shall be, your friend.”
Wisdom about humankind from Catwoman:
“Life’s a bitch. Now, so am I.”
Wisdom about conflict from Tyler Durden:
“The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club.”
Wisdom about the universe from Obi-Wan Kenobi:
“The Force will be with you. Always.”
Wisdom about the future from Doc Brown:
“Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.”

“With great power comes great responsibility.”

—Stan Lee, Marvel Comics
Spider-Man’s uncle told him this, and that’s why he became Spider-Man. George Washington realized
it, too, and that’s why he decided eight years was long enough for anyone to be president of the United
States. Tim Allen tried to dodge around it, and that’s why his dishwasher exploded. King David said to
hell with it and had his lover’s husband killed, and that’s why he was plagued by epic family problems
for the rest of his life. Paris Hilton seems oblivious to the very concept, and that’s why animal lovers
have long been inclined to worry about her poor, poor dog. And Albert Einstein realized the full, inhu-
man horror of it; that’s why he wrote to Franklin Roosevelt to explain the possibility of an atomic bomb.
Sure, the seed of the truism can be found in Luke 12:48 (“To whom much is given, much is expected”),
but although the word of that uppity young Jewish carpenter from Nazareth may be eternal, it took
an uppity young Jewish comic-book writer from New York City to put it in terms that ring true to the
modern ear.

Poetry for Dudes

From “Haikougar”

Cougar seduction
is not to be attempted
by the weekend flirt.
w

A strong commitment
s is necessary to bag
a fine specimen.
Q
Wingmen, normally
helpful, are discouraged since
they scare away prey.

By Brian McGackin
Illustrations by Lars Leetaru

As contemporary poets deliver entire volumes on subjects like incest, menstruation, and pine cones, regular
guys are left scratching their heads. Who will speak for Everyman? Who will articulate his love for Xbox 360,
for Mama Celeste’s Frozen Pizza, for any movie starring Bruce Willis?

Enter Broetry—a stunning debut from a dazzling new literary voice. “Broet Laureate” Brian McGackin goes
where no poet has gone before—to Star Wars conventions, to frat parties, to video game tournaments, and
beyond. With poems like “Ode to That Girl I Dated for, Like, Two Months Sophomore Year” and “My
Friends Who Don’t Have Student Loans,” we follow the Bro from his high school graduation and college
experience through a “quarter-life crisis” and beyond. Packaged in a small gifty hardcover and illustrated
with tasteful black and white illustrations, Broetry is a funny and sly look at modern masculinity.

BRIAN MCGACKIN earned his MFA in poetry from the University of Southern Cali-
fornia. He lives in Los Angeles. This is his first book.

and dysfunctional families. For men who are physically unattractive. For families stressed by houseguests.
These saints are ready to help, and their services are absolutely free!

This Saint Will Change Your Life! describes the real-life histories of more than 300 saints and explains how
they have become associated with certain people, places, and professions. Also included are 300 gorgeous
full-color holy cards that depict these heavenly allies in all their glory. First published in 2007, this revised
edition includes a fresh new design and a sprinkling of new saints—like St. Francis De Sales, patron saint
of bloggers!

THOMAS J. CRAUGHWELL is the author of several books about saints. He’s ap-
peared as an expert on CNN, the BBC, and Inside Edition and has written articles about
saints for the Wall Street Journal, Inside the Vatican, and Catholic Digest, among other national
publications. He lives in Connecticut.
