Celebrate 20 years of Manic Pixie Dream Girl with an uproarious literary parody of the ubiquitous trope from the man who coined the phrase and learned the craft of parody from the master himself, as the author of three books about "Weird Al" Yankovic: Weird Al: The Book (With Al Yankovic), The Weird Accordion to Al, and The Weird A-Coloring to Al (with Felipe Sobreiro).

Postal is an irreverent book about the video game series Postal and its feature film adaptation, as well as their eccentric creators, Vince Desi and Uwe Boll, by Nathan Rabin and co-author Brock Wilbur that I totally wrote a solid decade before Boll made Citizen Vigilante, Elon Musk's favorite movie.

Are you really, really rich, and really, really generous? Could you part with 10,000 dollars without too much trouble? Then this tier is perfect for you, as it would single-handedly allow me to make my goal for the campaign and write/publish my book.
There are a lot of insanely wealthy people in our country. I'm biased, but this would be a nice way to relieve yourself of excess funds

It would be beautiful if I could achieve my goal on the first day, without struggling madly to reach my ends. This God-level tier would allow me to succeed all on its own, without me having to having a panic attack every day of the campaign out of fear and anxiety.
