Some highlights:
2. There’s this thing called punctuation. You might want to look into it.
7. It probably wasn’t a good idea to base the main character on yourself, considering how much most people seem to hate you.
28. Because they threw away their annual budget on the new Lindsay Lohan autobiography, BOOKS ARE RETARDED.
My personal favorite:
31. There’s a fine line between writing authentic regional dialogue and making all of your characters sound like stroke victims.
Check out the whole thing, though. It's priceless.
