Grab a copy, and immerse yourself in lists (Words That Would Make Nice Names for Babies, If It Weren't for Their Unsuitable Meanings; Canceled Regional Morning TV Shows). Or maybe a nerd diatribe (On the Implausibility of the Death Star's Trash Compactor). In case you're not already convinced by these three titles alone (and don't forget the read the Steampunk monologue linked above), here's a sample list (lists are my favorite McSweeneyism - they're so efficient):
Subjects My Dad Doesn't Like and Will Discuss At Length If Raised
by Kate Harris
Peacocks
The blue rug my mother bought for the front room
People borrowing things from his shed
The motion picture Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Food courts
Sugar that has been spilled on the kitchen tiles
Alternative medicine
The fact that the cat is putting on weight
Odors that can't be explained

I love this one! Excuse me while I go pull it off my own bookshelf for a revisit.
