The Tenuous Grip on Reality Cookbook
This feels like a "Chicken Soup For the X" kind of series. Like, "The Tenuous Grip on Reality Workout", "The Tenuous Grip on Reality Guide to Management", "The Tenuous Grip on Reality Financial Planner", etc...

The fact that these were all freaking hilarious was a perfect setup for when it stopped and said: "The Paseo Diet". Pretty much this summed up and sent up food fads brilliantly.

The Checkout-Lane Impulse-Buy Cooking Cure
*sample recipe*
Ingredients:
M&Ms
Dentyne
AA Batteries
iTunes Gift Card
Stereo Ear-Buds
Superglue
Directions:
Sit in car in parking lot and think about what you should cook for dinner. Go into store and buy rotisserie chicken and Superglue and M&Ms. Sit in car and eat M&Ms, while remembering that you need batteries. Go back into store and buy batteries. While in line at the cashier, remember that your cousin's daughter's boyfriend lost her earbuds, and her birthday is coming up. Buy ear buds and iTunes gift card.
Return to car. Use the Superglue to re-afix the tiny diagram-top of the gear-shift lever that's been sitting in the cup-holder for six months. Chew some Dentyne on the way home and wish you had a cigarette, even though you gave up on those two years ago.
Bon Appetit!

"The Beyond the Paleo Guide to Food Avoidance"
"The Overactive Imagination Cleanse"
is basically George Carlin's telling of The Aristocrats.
"The Instant Ramen Supper Club" sounds like the new Merchant Ivory film.

The Waffle Iron Body Revolution has just the right amount of ambiguity so that you can't tell which word "Iron" is supposed to belong to and I love it.
