A story of animal farm, sheep dogs, mad X’s, BP teachers and other unexplained phenomena. Presented in no particular order by a random BP author and his fucking BP computer. Random Roo is obviously a pseudonym, but I feel obliged to show my face here. This is the last picture taken of me when I still looked pretty. Actualy the picture is on the back cover! I am pretty sure I am not going to make friends in high places. This book contains highly sensitive information which has been kept secret from us mushrooms who have been kept in the dark and fed on shit. ( this explaination of what a mushroom is is for the Americans ) It is a semi serious attempt at not only solving the problems of the World, but more importantly examining why these problems are not easy to solve. It is mainly an attempt at opening peoples eyes to a few inconvenient facts. The definition of a BP is in the book. There is a reason it is not explained here. Although I have written this book in a style that anyone can understand, it is the product of much research into science and psychology, backed up by 50 years in the university of hard knocks. Your's Truly. Random Roo!
