About this ebook
In Chili Dawgs Always Bark at Night, Lewis Grizzard once again confirms his reputation as the "William Faulkner of just plain folks" using colorful storytelling to tackle such Grizzardian subjects as:
Fashion: "Don't wear anything that features a picture of a pelican, a pink flamingo, or a beer can."
The Future: "I'm predicting the world isn't going to come to an end anytime soon. There's too much unresolved, like whether or not Elvis is still alive, Jimmy Swaggart can stay on television, and if there will be another Rambo sequel."
Dating: "Any single white female who has to resort to taking out an ad to find a boyfriend would take a SWM who's into yodeling, Hustler magazine, Ripple, and robbing convenience stores."
People Who Cheat in the 12-Items-or-Less Lane: "Previously, I have dog-cussed these people and put curses on them, like, 'May your children grow up to be liberal Democrats.' I'm not going to be that mean-spirited anymore. What I'm going to do is go to the vegetable bin, grab a large cucumber, and beat them about the head and shoulders with it."
Lewis Grizzard offers his views on everything from politics, religion, sex, and golf to the largest condom heist in history, wittier and more outrageous than ever. Chili Dawgs Always Bark at Night shows why the South's most popular humorist continues to be America's most popular funny man.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A collection of columns from the late 1980s. This is the first time I've read about his dog, a Black lab named Catfish - this was my favorite chapter, actually, even though I'm not much of a dog fan. The column about diet dog food made me laugh so hard I could barely catch my breath. There is some cringy stuff here - the chapter about weight has not held up at all - but its also rather amazing to read about things like the blanket ban on smoking, something we don't really think about these days but which was a *huge* deal when it started rolling out.Its also a little sad to read the final section of the book, where Grizzard speculates on what life will be like in the year 2000; little did he (or anyone) know at the time, he wasn't going to make it to the new millennium.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Read this for the first time just now 2013 book came out in 1989. Some of the things in the book were timeless. Heartburn, children, "fancy" restaurants. Other have changed extremely computers, air travel. He ends his book with what he believes the millennium will bring, such as selling off some of the northern states to Canada to bring down the national debt, condos and a golf course on the moon. Was a fun book to read, his southern way of thinking is fun to read and he doesn't go to far after us Yankees. It's broken down into various different sections where he explores things from fashion and dining out to sports and the politics of the time.
