The sixth "epic novel" in Dav Pilkey's hugely popular series explains the awful truth about Captain Underpants (he is really the school principal), details "the night of the nasty nostril nuggets," offers up "the unnecessarily disgusting chapter," and even explains how "you can't have your cape and Edith, too."

George and Harold are "C" students (and bad spellers), but they are very good at "saving the entire planet from the nasty forces of unrelenting evil" and also at ketchup-toilet pranks. Unfortunately, they can't save Melvin Sneedly from getting paddled by his bionic hamster. But, frankly, they wouldn't want to, because besides being the school brainiac, Melvin is also a tattletale. When his robot-making hobby backfires horribly, Melvin transforms himself into the Bionic Booger Boy instead of a bionic superboy. Can Captain Underpants save everyone from this "greenish, glistening behemoth?"

Pilkey is the superhero of boy humor, stuffing his heavily illustrated books with comic-book inserts, "flip-o-rama" animation, and all the gross-out jokes an elementary-school kid could stomach. Fans will want to get their hands on Captain Underpants and the Big Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy Part 2: The Revenge of the Ridiculous Robo-Boogers as well. (Ages 8 and older) --Karin Snelson

Funny.......2007-05-09

My seven year old son loves the Captain Underpants books! He doesn't like to read too much but he will sit and read these books in one sitting. I also think they're funny and enjoy reading them with my kids.

Captain Underpants and the Big, Bad, Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy, Part I, The Night of the Nasty Nostril Nuggets.......2007-04-19

I think this book was a laugh out loud funny book that kids will enjoy. Captain Underpants fights a Bionic Booger Boy named Melvin Sneedly. My favorite part was when the hamster started to spank Melvin. I also love the Flip-O-Rama pages that makes the cartoons look like they are in motion. George and Harold are believable to me because I know kids in real life who act like they do, but we know they are no such things as Bionic Booger Boys or Nasty Nostril Nuggets. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys laughing at gross things!

Halarious!.......2007-04-14

This is a great and funny book. I would recommend this book to anyone. Boogers, poop, underpants, and funny names, and activities are all loaded into Captain Underpants books. If you want a good, funny, easy read then this is the book for you. There are comics inside written by two child characters named Harold and George. They are very short and funny, with hilarious pictures.

Captain Underpants Review.......2006-08-15

Captain Underpants is about two boys who play pranks and write comics. These comics include a character named Captain Underpants. The principal at the school the boys attend confiscate the comics while they were working on them in class. Then the boys somehow hypnotize him into believing he was the character Captain Underpants. The principal ends up saving the boys in there many adventures such as the fights against Bionic Booger Boy, Wicked Wedgie Woman, Professor Poopy Pants, and many more.

Before I read this book I was really uptight, with no personality. Then I read it and I laughed more than I ever had more life. This book tells me that it is okay to let loose and have a good laugh every once and a while

This was a fiction book with short paragraphs and about 175 pages. There are many illustrations and easy to read vocabulary. I give this book 4 stars because of content.

Captain Underpants: the Truth.......2006-07-09

Melvin Sneedly looks too much like some character in the SpongeBob episode "I'm your biggest fan." If Melvin Sneedly were a Hamtaro caracter, he would be Dexter.
Facts
Underwear Day is on August 8. Piqua, Ohio is where the Captain Underpants series takes place. George lives at 1526 Vine Street. George Beard and Harold Hutchins got their names from children's book characters that Dav Pilkey liked as a kid: "Georgie the Ghost", and "Harold and the Purple Crayon". Their last names (Beard and Hutchins) were the last names of Dav's two favorite "Little Rascals" characters: "Stimey (Matthew Beard)" and "Wheezer (Bobby Hutchins)". George and Harold's school, Jerome Horwitz Elementary School, got its name from "Curly" of "The Three Stooges". Curly's given name was Jerome Horwitz. Dav Pilkey chose Piqua because they have an "Underwear Festival" there every year. Sadly, most of Dav's childhood comic books no longer exist. Many were ripped up by his teachers, and others were "borrowed" by his friends. Dav's friends would take the comics home and lose them, or bring them back weeks later with pages missing. The only comics that Dav still has are the ones he made for his parents in the mid 1970's. Dav's parents didn't care for potty humor, so he wrote about three "non-offensive" super heroes called "Water Man", "Molecule Man" and "Mr. Shape-O". Watch for these guys to re-appear as very offensive villains in future "Super Diaper Baby" books. You might notice a theme in George and Harold's comic books: the gym teacher always gets attacked by the villains, but nobody seems to care. This theme reoccurs because many of Dav Pilkey's former gym teachers were REALLY, REALLY MEAN to him. So let this be a lesson to gym teachers all over the world: be nice to your students, or some day they might grow up and get revenge by making fun of you in their epic novels! Dav Pilkey has never actually given or received a "wedgie". Dav was called Dave until he got a job at Pizza Hut at age 15 because the typewriter ran out of E's. The name stuck with Dav.
The creation of Melvin Sneedly
Melvin Sneedly, the villain in this book, was actually based on somebody Dav knew in sixth grade. The kid Dave knew, Michael Sneedman, wasn't nearly as evil as Melvin, but he was annoying. All the students knew that Michael was smarter than anybody else in the class. Worst of all, he took every opportunity he could find to point that out to everyone and rub their noses in it. Michael had the infuriating habit of finishing all his tests and worksheets before everybody else. Then he'd open his desk, take out a red pen, and GRADE HIS OWN PAPERS! He'd go through all of his answers, make sure they were all correct, then award himself a giant "A+" at the top. He even went so far as to make smiley faces on his papers and write "Another Fantastic Job!" or "Keep up the GREAT work, Michael!" Here's how Dave got him back: After Christmas break, their teacher came up with a dumb idea to help make them all more competitive and aggressive. It was a system of keeping track of our academic achievements and "good deeds." For two weeks, they all brought in those little, flat plastic clips you find on the ends of loaves of bread. When their finally had enough, their teacher took them all home and spray painted them different colors. The next day, he brought in a large wooden board with all of our names printed on it. Directly under each kid's name was a nail. The object of this system was that every time you got an "A" or did a "good deed", you'd get a white bread clip (worth 1 point) to hang on the nail under your name. If you got five white bread clips, you could trade them in for a green bread clip (which was worth five points). Then there were yellow, blue, and red bread clips that were worth 10, 20, 50 points respectively. The granddaddy of all bread clips was the golden bread clip, which was worth 100 points. On an average day, an average kid could maybe expect to earn three or four white bread clips. Dave usually got one or two. But Michael Sneedman was obsessed. He wasn't happy unless he had earned at least a yellow clip every day. Some days he earned as much as 15 bread clips, and Dav distinctly remembers him earning a blue clip one day. After a while, the bread clip board started to become a great source of rivalry in the classroom. Kids were doing good deeds deliberately so they could get a new bread clip. They were asking for extra-credit homework so they could get even MORE bread clips. Things were getting too aggressive for Dave's tastes, but almost everybody else seemed to enjoy the competition. Everyone had sworn to be honest about the whole bread clip board thing, and they were all pretty honest (even Dave). But Dave knew there had to be a loophole somewhere. He had sworn to be honest when giving himself bread clips, and had sworn to be honest about not switching anybody else's bread clips around... but nobody said anything about not tipping the board over. One day during recess, it was too cold to go outside, so the students had recess indoors. Everybody was hanging around talking while Dave quietly made his way over to the bread clip board. He scoped out the area very carefully, just to make sure nobody was watching. Then with a flick of my finger, he nudged the bread clip board away from the wall upon which it was leaning. The board began to tip forward. Quickly (but not too quickly) He walked away from the board as it began falling to the floor. Dave had gotten about two and a half steps away when a giant CRASH! filled the classroom air. Everything stopped. The kids turned to see what had happened. Dave looked as surprised as he could. It couldn't have been more perfect. The bread clip board was face down on the floor. Bread clips were scattered everywhere. What had once been an intricate accounting of our grandiose moral and academic achievements had suddenly been reduced to a board with nails on it, surrounded by a bunch of little colored bread clips. "Oh, NO!" Dave shouted, "Look what just happened all by itself, accidentally, with no outside interference from anyone!" Half of the kids in the class cheered. Some kids seemed annoyed. Michael was mortified. His dreams of annihilating his peers had been crushed. His A's and "good deeds" were for naught. He dashed over to the board and lifted it up. But alas, every one of the bread clips had fallen off. "I REMEMBER," Michael shouted, "I had 344 points!" He leaned the board back up against the wall and began frantically replacing his clips. But unfortunately for Michael, nobody else had memorized their exact number of bread clips at that moment. We could only speculate. "I think I had four gold ones," Dave said. "Me too," said another kid. "I had seven!" said somebody else. "NO YOU DIDN'T!!!" screamed Michael, his eyes welling up with tears. "I WAS THE WINNER!!! I BEAT ALL OF YOU!!! NOBODY EVEN CAME CLOSE TO MY SCORE!!! I HATE YOU ALL!!!" Over the next few days, Michael tried his best to "right" the terrible wrong which had befallen him. He put himself in charge of redistributing the bread clips, but nobody was happy with his decisions. Soon kids began taking it upon themselves to arrange the bread clips to suit their own likings, and before long, chaos broke out. Kids were arguing and fighting so much that within a week, the teacher took the bread clip board outside and he tossed it in the dumpster. And that was it. It was over. Kids stopped doing good deeds, and gave up on trying to get "A's." Everybody calmed down and returned to normal except for Michael. Michael was so distraught over the whole incident, that he accidentally missed a mistake while grading one of his own quizzes. He put his usual "A+," and "100%" on the top of the paper, but when he got it back the next day, the "A+" had been crossed out and changed to an "A." The "100%" had been crossed out and changed to a "96%." Michael had made a mistake. Michael was in shock. Michael was devastated. It was the proudest moment of Dav's life, but the worst for Michael. Dav isn't sure what happened to Michael Sneedman. Perhaps he's still sitting at that very same desk, staring in disbelief at his "A", and wondering where it all went so terribly, terribly wrong. Thinking back on it, Dav feels bad that his one small act of defiance sparked such moral and academic anarchy in our classroom. But then Dav thinks about that 96%, and he feels it was all worth it!
About the book
Dave Pilkey has never admitted to knocking over the bread clip board until just now. As long as Dave comes clean, he also broke the test tubes in his fifth grade classroom by the sink in 1977. One of the Robo-Boogers, Carl, didn't originally have lots of little gross hairs sticking out of him. That happened by accident one day when Dav blew some eraser shavings off of his drawing table. The shavings landed on an early sketch of Carl. When he picked up the sketch, Dav thought it looked grossly funny. The eraser shavings made Carl look like he was covered with a bunch of shimmering nose hairs. So from that moment on, Dav always drew Carl with lots of gross hairs sticking out of his body. That's what artists sometimes call a "happy accident." The four Flip-O-Rama titles in this book are actually parodies of song titles. The songs are "Thanks for the Memories" by Bob Hope, "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" by B.J. Thomas, "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I Got Love in my Tummy" by the Ohio Express and "A Hard Day's Night" by the Beatles. Pages 165 and 167 of this book can be flipped to produce a "Flip-O-Rama" effect. It works pretty well, even though it wasn't designed for this effect. Dav didn't realize this until after he painted the pages. To make it work, flip only page 165. Be sure you can see the images on pages 165 and 167 when you flip. The whenhamstersattack.com website mentioned on page 37 really does exist. In case you're wondering why Sulu seems to get bigger and smaller sometimes (p. 143 and 144), it's because of the highly unstable nature of Flexo-Growmonic Steel, which is a seldom-used alloy compound with the ability to flex and grow when affected by positive or negative ions and/or currents. Scientists do agree that if Flexo-Growmonic steel were somehow fused with living mammal tissues at a cellular level, the normal electrical currents of a warm-blooded creature would be enough to trigger a flexing and/or growing reaction. Many scientists feel that the steel might flex and grow exponentially during times of great stress, and therefore it can be concluded that this book is entirely scientifically accurate. Super Diaper Baby and Diaper Dog are hidden in this book twice. Can you find them?
Summary
In this epic tale, George and Harold must save the day once again when a messy prank sets off a chain-reaction which could ultimately enslave all of humankind. Watch for Melvin Sneedly from Attack of the Talking Toilets to return as the nerdy super-genius whose hunger for for vengeance gets him into a snotty situation!
Pop Rocks & Coke
The experiment that Melvin's parents are doing on page 72 is actually an old urban legend that was quite popular when Dave was a kid. The legend warned children that they should never mix Pop-Rocks with Coke because it could make them blow up. Green Day sang a song called Pop Rocks and Coke. The Pop-Rocks and Coke story is not true. It really won't make you blow up. It will, however, cause you to burst into flames. A kid ate 6 bags of pop rocks at a party. He then proceeded to drink a 6-pack of Pepsi. The two substances combined in his stomach and exploded, killing him horribly. That's why pop rocks were taken off the market in the early eighties. The candy was invented in 1956 by General Foods research scientist William A. Mitchell and introduced to the general public in 1975, these fruit-flavored nuggets delighted kids with their fizzle. Small amounts of carbonation were released when the candy was placed in the mouth, causing both a mild exploding sensation and resulting in a satisfying sizzling noise kids loved. Though the confection had been extensively tested and found safe, the combustive candy still alarmed residents in Seattle. The Food and Drug Administration set up a telephone hotline there to assure anxious parents that the fizzing candy would not cause children to choke. Nevertheless, among kids, wild stories about the perils of eating Pop Rocks abounded. Mixing the candy with carbonated drinks would cause the stomach to explode because of too much carbon dioxide. One rumor said that an overly-cute kid who achieved fame in LIFE cereal commercials had died of this. Urban legends require victims who are known yet anonymous, the ubiquitous friends of a friend, to lend them a touch of credible realism without allowing for the easy verification of their details. Little Mikey was a kid known to other children by virtue of his famous television commercial, yet he was still relatively anonymous. Few people knew his real name, and his non-appearance in any public role subsequent to his well known LIFE commercial could therefore plausibly be attributed to his untimely demise. John Gilchrist, who played Mikey in the old commercial, survived childhood unexploded. He now manages advertising and accounts for a New York radio station.

Nasty Stinky Sneakers
If you like mystery books you will like Nasty Stinky Sneakers by Eve Bunting. This is an awesome book. Colin has spent weeks making his shoes smell really bad for a contest. If he wins he will get three pairs of slam Dunker shoes. One for his little sister Amy, one for him self, and one for his best friend Webster. But now after weeks of working toward stinky sneakers, they are mising. Will he find them. I think this book is really good because it is funny, and my socks have smelt really bad.

bad language.......2002-10-20

i feel this is not a book for a third grader because amy in the book refers to her brother as a word that i cannot mention on here which should read dirt bag instead of the word they use. my daughter is in third grade and read it and asked why there are bad words in the book. i plan on having it pulled from our school

Very fun read for newly independent readers.......1999-01-29

My 7 yr old really enjoyed this book. Light mystery with nothing scary but lots of fun is right where he's at. I appreciate that this book is also well written. I feel it's important for kids to read books with good sentence structure and interesting vocabulary, and this book has it. (There are some "series" and other books out there with fun titles and stories, but poor writing.)

Not so good.......1998-07-15

This book said that Jack had dirty shoes. Children who read it WILL follow them and get scolded by their parents to proof that they can follow the story. So please don't ever write like this okay!!!!!

Book Description

ISBN: 1590710002 TITLE: A Nasty Bit of Rough AUTHOR: Feherty, David DESCRIPTION: Readers of Golf Magazine will immediately recognize Major General (ret.) Sir Richard Gussett, the riotous imaginary uncle featured in David Feherty's column "Sidespin."In this first volume of his misadventures, Gussett sets his sights on the most prestigious prize in golf, the petrified middle finger of St. Andrew, patron saint of Scotland. Presiding over Scrought's Wood, the world's most cantankerous golf club, Gussett must motivate his merry band of members through the battles with incontinence, single malt Scotch, peculiar handicaps, and a litany of other unmentionable afflictions in order to seize the finger in a "friendly" competition with their ancient rivals, the dreaded and notorious MacGregor clan. Feherty's fan base will rejoice, the driving range addicted will tee-off, the ISGA will have "no comment," and anyone who loves the game or knows someone who loves the game will not be able to resist Feherty's storytelling and golfing gravitas. AUTHORBIO: Upon his retirement from professional golf in 1997, David Feherty has been a mainstay throughout the PGA golf season on CBS Sports as an on-course personality and commentator.In addition to penning his monthly Golf Magazine column, Feherty also writes a biweekly column for Golfonline.com, the most popular golf site on the web.A major draw at clinics and speaking engagements throughout the year, Feherty has been called "The Class Clown of Commentary," and "Golf's Ultimate Wise Guy."Born and raised in Ireland, he now lives in Irving, Texas with his wife Anita and their five children, Erin, Rory, Shey, Karl, and Fred.REVIEW: "....a pure delight....Every golf nut will love this book." (Dan Jenkins, author of The Money-Whippped Steer-Job Three-Jacket Give-Up Artist and Dead Solid Perfect)REVIEW: "Work on your abs before reading [this], because your stomach is going to get a workout from laughing out loud." (Gary McCord, CBS golf analyst and Sr. PGA Tour Player)REVIEW: "If you don't laugh out loud at least once in every chapter, I will personally confiscate your splatterguard niblick." (Steven Pressfield, author of The Legend of Bagger Vance)REVIEW: "If you're one of those people who think golf is a religion, prepare for some seriously funny blasphemy."

Its the first book by David Feherty that I have read and I can say that it wont be the last. A really enjoyable read, with so many amuzing scenarios. First book that has ever made me laugh out load.

Pretty funny stuff.......2006-11-06

I'm not much of a book reviewer, but let me say this much. I enjoyed reading this book. Some parts made me laugh quite loudly, while others made me snicker. At times, I had trouble following the plot, but is that really a requirement when entertainment is the goal? I'm not sure that it is. Nonetheless, I strongly recommend Feherty's book and I also think he's the greatest commentator working in golf.

A Nasty Bit of Rough.......2004-04-01

In A Nasty Bit of Rough, by David Feherty, Gussett sets his mind to win the most prestigious prize in golfing history, the finger of St. Anderew, patron saint of Scotland. Though this novel, Gussett goes through battles with peculiar handicaps, single malt scotch, and other afflictions in order to win the finger in a competition with the McGregor clan.
This is a pure delight for those who love the game of golf and for those who like to laugh out loud for hours. If you like an easy book to read and a book that is about raunchy old men, then this is the book for you.

Pretty funny, though a little over the top.......2004-03-11

David Feherty's comic novel about the loveable inhabitants of the Scrought's Wood Golf Club, and their raunchy adventures on and off the links is a pretty funny story, with a few laugh-out-loud moments sprinkled in amongst piles of bathroom humor.

The writing is okay, though it leaves something to be desired, and even the most die-hard Feherty fan will grow weary of the barrage of bathroom jokes. Do we really need to know that a caddy pooped his pants in an airplane once (although the subsequent episode involving that caddy and a red sweatshirt is one of the funnier moments in the book)?

I laughed quite a bit at this book, and even if it was a little heavy-handed with the toilet humor, it has some absolutely hilarious moments. If you like golf and David Feherty's sense of humor, then you'll enjoy this book.

Some of Dostoevsky's Finest.......2000-02-17

Those who would read Dostoevsky but, are intimidated by the sheer magnitude of his epics, should read this collection of three great shorter works. Bobok is strikingly amusing and clever. The Gambler brilliantly depicts the all too real dynamics of a toxic relationship. My favorite, A Nasty Story, is such an hilarious and witty story. It's almost painful to read as one is compelled to sympathize with the character's best intentions gone wrong. All marvelous works from the brilliant mind of Dostoevsky.

Short stories of a high order........1999-07-27

"Bobok" and "A Nasty Story" are obviously studies for a longer work, while "The Gambler" is an excellent, transparently autobiographical, account of a man obsessed with gambling. Read this book after you've read the great Dostoyevsky novels.

ICKY unexpected bondage.......2007-05-07

I guess when I bought this, I expected light bondage, and this was ANYTHING but. This had water play, deffication, scarrification etc. This is definately not for the faint of heart or anyone with a bad back, as this book had some HEAVY lifting. I didn't enjoy it at all.

Rough trade - Wild sex.......2001-11-10

My favorit author obviously decided to go wild with this story!
In the setting of the lesbian club "Rough Trade", our heroines hardly come up for air throughout the 200 pages of this action- packed sex blast.
As an intens porn story, - which is what it is, - there isn't too much time wasted on caracter developement and plot. But then again, that's not the idea, either. When you open this book, you dive in, and you stay in until you close it!

So, if that's your thrill, this is it.
Also in this story Welsh add som D/S, but now it is more as a background and hints, and not an important part of the (missing) plot. A spice.

High rating for being my favorite setting and theme, but we can't give top marks before Cherry at least asks the name of her new partners before the action starts, can we?

Readers will flip for Aunt Mattie!

This two-in-one flip book contains two novels in their entirety. In No More Nice, eleven-year-old Simon meets his eccentric Great Aunt Matilda and Uncle Philbert, who have very different ideas about what good manners are. In the sequel, No More Nasty, Aunt Mattie returns as a substitute teacher for Simon's rambunctious class, using her unique way of looking at things to make learning fun.
