Need proof? Check out \u003ci\u003eThe Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death\u003c\/i\u003e and try not to bust a gut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoin Notaro as she experiences the popular phenomenon of laser hair removal (because at least one of her chins should be stubble-free); bemoans the scourge of the Open Mouth Coughers on America’s airplanes and in similarly congested areas; welcomes the newest ex-con (yay, a sex offender!) to her neighborhood; and watches, against her own better judgment, every Discovery Health Channel special on parasites and tapeworms that has ever aired—resulting in an overwhelming fear that a worm the size of a python will soon come a-knocking on her back door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Notaro’s world, strangers are stranger than fiction. One must always check the hotel bathroom for hobo hairs and consciously remember not to stare at old men with giant man-boobies. And then there are the lessons she has learned the hard way: Though it may seem like a good idea, it’s best not to hire a tweaked-out homeless guy to clean up your yard. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e The Plain Dealer\u003c\/i\u003e says that Laurie Notaro is “a scream, the freak-magnet of a girlfriend you can’t wait to meet for a drink to hear her latest story.” With \u003ci\u003eThe Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death, \u003c\/i\u003eNotaro proves she’s not only funny but resigned to the fact that you can’t look bad ass in a Prius.
