Why is Raising Hell Free on this site?
Why is Raising Hell Free on this site?
Well it's not free yet because of our 90 day contract with Amazon. But when it becomes free the answer will be: Why Not? And, no, you don’t get what you pay for this time. Raising Hell would be a steal at $20.
Why is Raising Hell $1 on Amazon?
Why is Raising Hell $1 on Amazon?
What, exactly, do you want from us? You were whining about it being free in the previous question.
How did you get Lucifer to cooperate?
How did you get Lucifer to cooperate?
We didn’t. He has never cooperated on anything. He expects us to do his work for him, as you will discover one day. HSM* denies that the events in Raising Hell did, or even could ever, happen. He was so incensed when he discovered the Monday’s web site that he had us ground up and added to yesterday’s batch of 100% recycled coffee. (That didn’t mean we were relieved of web site duty today.) He called it the Hell of Being Recycled into Material So Noxious It Should Never Have Been Recycled to Begin With Only to Make the End Product Even More Noxious Than Before.
*His Satanic Majesty. But he preferes his informal title His Satanic Majesty Lucifer of the Morning Star; Ruler of the Lower Dimensions of Darkness; Proprietor of His Satanic Majesty’s Hall of Everlasting Damnation, Torture and Never Ending Decay; and Sovereign Lord of the Devoted Knights of His Satanic Majesty Lucifer of the Morning Star (HSMLotMSRotLDoDPoHSMHoEDT&NEDaSLotDKoHSMotMS).
A little innuendo but no sex and enough gratuitous violence to make it appropriate family entertainment.
- Answer 1: How strong is your stomach? (Note: the perceived level of violence will be in inverse proportion to the reader’s sense of humor.)
- Answer 2: Is a Chuck Jones cartoon gross? Well, yes, in a way. But you laugh anyway.
Is Raising Hell appropriate for the classroom?
Is Raising Hell appropriate for the classroom?
It is very appropriate for the classroom, but students will appreciate it far more if told they shouldn’t read it under any circumstances.
A job, of course. In fact, two consecutive jobs at two institutions that sucked the life out of me. I can't name them or I might be sued, but both were involved in education (which I believe is training ground for hell's future mismanagers). Employees of one institution know which one I mean since I wrote the first draft for them.PTS

If you bothered to look at the buttons and hyperlinks on this page you would already to know the answer to that. But, no, you had to wait for instructions. HSM• would love to meet you. You’ll be putty in his hands.
*His Satanic Majesty.
Are you really that clueless? Hint: Think of another restaurant with three initials and a day in the name. Still not sure? Hint: TGI Friday’s. Still in the dark? You really are g.d. clueless and there will be no hope for you.
Is it "g.d.i. Monday" or "g.d.i. Monday’s"? It shows up both ways.
Is it "g.d.i. Monday" or "g.d.i. Monday’s"? It shows up both ways.
Technically, "g.d.i. Monday’s" is the possessive of "g.d.i. Monday," or that’s the official smarty pants answer. The truth is consistency, organization and efficiency exist only in the mind of HSM* and, while it would make him happy if we achieved those states, we wouldn’t be where we are if anyone was happy. Except for that one guy, who must not be named.
