The Joker has signed on as Spooksfield.com corporate sponsor to promote the new book 2012:The Paranormal Cookbook set to release today at “The Best of the Ozarks” store on Chestnut Expressway. He agreed to a quick answer/question session preceding the release.
FCN: What elements of the book attracted you to become the official sponsor for a Springfield, MO group such as Spooksfield?
Joker: Well, I’ve been dead once already. So I am an expert on the paranormal activity the world over. See, I’m a man of simple tastes. I like dynamite, and gunpowder…paranormal activity. Life’s been good to me.
FCN: Where will the books be distributed?
Joker: All the old familiar places…Borders, Barnes&Noble, Hastings, Amazon.com and on the Spooksfield.com site for 7.99. If you’re good at something, never do it for free.
FCN: Yeah, we’ve heard that line before. Good advice.
Joker: What are you laughin’ at? You…are my number one…guy.
FCN: Right. So which areas of paranormal activity does the book explore?
Joker: The curse of the Joker and the return of phantom clowns, the perfect storm of 2012, quantum physics, observer effect and synchronicity, our new theory of environmental archetypes in haunting, the new case of our pursuit of “The Hellhound of the Ozarks” as well as a profile of BEK(Black Eyed Kids).
All of these questions. You know, you remind me of my father. I hated my father!
FCN: I’m not your father. You must be excited for the…
Joker: Why so serious? Let’s put a smile on that face!
FCN: We agreed no weapons were allowed in this interview. You’re going to need to put that knife away.
Joker: A little fight in you. I like that. The pen, is truly mightier than the sword!
FCN: Do you think your involvement in this project will invoke the “Curse of the Joker” and affect sales?
Joker: See, I’m not a monster. I’m just ahead of the curve. Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I’m a dog chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do with one if I caught it. You know, I just… do things.
FCN: Okay, where do you foresee the greatest opportunity for sales of the book?
Joker: You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight? Chicago. Chicago. That’s where clowns are extremely prevalent: John Wayne Gacy, Bozo, the Original Ronald McDonald.
FCN: What is on the horizon for you after the book tour?
Joker: New and improved Joker products! With a new secret ingredient: Smylex. Hubba, hubba, hubba! Money, money, money!
FCN: You’re tag line is “Follow the Joker”. Why do it?
Joker: Come on, I want you to do it, I want you to do it.
FCN: Okay but not so close with that blade in your pocket, Zorro.
Joker: And I thought my jokes were bad.
Editor’s note: The 2012:The Paranormal Cookbook Release Party. This event will be held at “The Best of the Ozarks” store Saturday, February 13th from 2-6pm at 2969 E. Chestnut Expressway, Springfield, MO.
