The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore

"It was as if the Weirdness Fairy gad landed in his life with a thump, popped him on the head with a rubber chicken, bit him on the shin, then went off to inflict herself on the rest of Pine Cove."
I once read about a Greek philosopher that died laughing at his own jokes, and I wouldn't be surprised if Christopher Moore went out the same way. "Lust Lizard" is absurdly hilarious, and oddly wholesome all at once.
"Theo was cursed with an artist's soul but no talent. He possessed the angst and the inspiration, but not the means to create."
"Estelle searched the air for the source of the question, as if it might have come from a moth spiraling around one of the lights behind the bar."
"It was a big yard with lots of shrubs where other dogs had left him messages. He needed to reply to them all, so each could only get a short spray. Dog e-mail."
"Everyone thinks that it was the big strong caveman who got the girl, and for the most part, that may have been true, but physical strength doesn't explain how our species created civilization. I think there was always some scrawny dreamer sitting at the edge of the firelight, who had the ability to imagine dangers, to look into the future in his imagination and see possibilities."
