BREAKING NEWS: "Welcome To My Book Collection" Is The New "Hello" (Tell All Your Friends, Especially If You Happen To Be Friends With Glenn Danzig)

Okay, buds, new NOGOODFORME.COM rule for livin' right: in lieu of using such trite expressions as "hello" and "goodbye," you will now speak the words "Welcome to my book collection" at the beginning and end of every conversation in which you engage from this moment forward. Say it in the most Glenn Danzig-esque voice possible, please. And if your Glenn Danzig imitation isn't up to snuff, start by watching the above video at least five times in a row, and then practicing in the mirror, in the dark. You'll have it down pat in no time flat, we're so very sure. Got it? You can keep your shirt on, if you want, FYI.

Btw, thanks to Tatyana for sharing "Glenn Danzig Interview- on the topic of books," and to Claire for the inspired suggestion of employing "Welcome to my book collection" as a salutation. And our Kat's the genius who pioneered the notion of using "Welcome to my book collection" upon parting ways - usually Kat signs off on emails with a closer like "Yours most respectfully" or "C u l8r allig8r," but today she just went for it and man will all our lives be so much the better for that. SO PASS IT ON. Welcome to my book collection.

btw, i just want to say how GENIUS it is that he says 'book collection' instead of 'library.' that is AMAZING. i don't know how, but it is!

yes! and i can't tell if that weird little mumbly growl he does pre-'welcome to my book collection' should be part of the 'welcome to my book collection' experience...yeah, probably, actually.

I used it last night, and it felt GREAT.

week = made.

NO SHIRT. never a shirt. too good.

imagine how tiny he is - it really enhances things.

i saw a shiny silver mercedes in danzig's driveway yesterday. i pictured a tiny prospector with a mustache and briefcase stepping up to the house to try and talk him into selling his prime los feliz real estate. and what would his response be... "welcome to my book collection". or the mercedes was his and he now wears true religion jeans and has a faux hawk.

Lindsay Jean: yes, he is a tiny man!
liz: i also think i need to start carrying a lava lamp with me or something....WHAT is going on with the lighting here!

welcome to my book collection,
xo kat

"Danzig owns a book collection on subjects including the occult, religious history and true murder cases."

Even wikipedia knows the proper wording...

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)

Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."


Type the characters you see in the picture above.
