I think it’s safe to say that strange days are upon us. Politics be crazy, the weather apocalyptic, and AI is inviting itself into our reality. I’m pretty sure most people are walking around with their overall disposition set to ‘fear-mode’, and I’m certainly not judging; if you squint just the right way, it all kind of makes sense. I heard a story today about how a long time ago one of the supposed first english speaking blokes landed on Australia. They met some locals, exchanged pleasantries, when suddenly a large animal with a baby in it’s pouch came hopping out of the brush. “What the F#$k is that?!” the english speaking bloke exclaimed. “Kangaroo,” replied the local. And so, …

Spring is upon us, which means Hard-Boiled-Egg-Scavenger-Hunt Day is here as well, and we at BumBumBooks would like to suggest introducing some balls into this year’s Easter festivities. But what about the eggs you ask? No worries! You can continue hiding your decorated chicken fair, AND, at the same time, throw in the hilarity of balls! All you need is a copy of Do You Want To Play With My Balls?, as well as the much anticipated sequel Do You Want To Play With My Box?, and your backyard will be filled with so much joy, even the bunnies will be laughing 🙂 Happy spring!

The Green day of drunkenness is nearly upon us, where American’s scour their genealogy for the smallest percentage of Irish decent, don their Notre Dame shirts and plastic clover hats, and carefully craft an excuse for taking off work in preparation of an epic hangover. What more does one possibly need? Laugher. Straight up, pun-filled, hilarity that will make you king of the pub. And, with our books in hand, you can peacefully reign over a belly-laughing, drunken kingdom of cosplay leprechauns cheering your name! So, get your copies of the most festive books know to man/womankind, be safe, and have a wonderful St. Paddy’s day! Matt

Hello fine folk, Well, I guess there’s only one way to say it … it’s NFT time baby!  Like Huxley, Fievel, and all the musicians in U.S.A. for Africa, we’re not only entering a brave, whole new world, but we ARE the world (and the children)!

Hello beautiful people! Fall is officially upon us, and the pre-holiday shopping season has swirled in with the cold fronts and falling leaves. But don’t wait too long to start your shopping, or before you can say, “Boughs of #@%$ing holly!” you’ll be nose-to-nose with angry, petulant family members pointing to the empty spot under the tree. Don’t have a clue what to possibly get? Not to worry, we got ya covered 🙂 This year we have not one, but TWO amazing books for sale, as well as a Do You Want To Play With My Balls? T-shirt (currently for sale on Ebay and Amazan, and soon to be available here, at bumbumbooks.com). You can share these gifts of laughter …

Hi all, Well, we were so excited.   27 cases of Do You Want To Play With My Box?, beautifully stacked on a wooden pallet, finally arrived in our driveway, and my brother and I were as giddy as two teens in 1989 on our way to see the latest John Hughes movie at the Penn Theater – old school projector and all.   However, when we ripped open the first case to adore our newest creation, it was nowhere near Say Anything.  In fact, it wasn’t a John Hughes movie at all.  It was … Gigli!!!  And sure, while Jennifer Lopez could probably pull off a passable Diane Court, Ben Affleck was, is, and never will be Lloyd Dobler.  No Way. …
