I just read through the preceding answers, and I thought everybody would get Bossypants. It was featured in the local Krogers as a display for a couple weeks -- I assume until it sold out. I mean, just like the Deathly Hallows. Oh well -- I got that one and a few others. Now I'm gonna go Google Ali Wong.
