SynopsisA collection of affectionately witty accounts of some of Cash Peter's more ridiculous journeys as he makes his way, road weary and on a shoestring budget, across the United States in search of places most of us would never wish to visit. He understands that every attraction - however tacky, mediocre, or, in some cases, utterly tasteless and appalling it may seem to an outsider - is someone's golden vision and deserves to be ridiculed with equal respect. Each essay is a sharp lesson for anyone who, like Cash, gets suckered too easily into paying good money to see Kathy's Freak Farm in San Diego or the annual Clam Squirting Contest in Oregon. Written in his self-disparaging style, the volume reveals the endless frustrations - and the ludicrous dilemmas - that make up a journalist's life on the road., Fans of Cash Peters' "Bad Taste Tours" on public radio will hail this outrageously funny collection of essays about his experiences traveling to and reporting on the most bizarre and tacky tourist attractions across the United States.
