Every once in awhile I get a pitch for a project that seems so quirky, so fun, so… out there that I just have to see it. That was the case with author Andrew Gall and gorillastrator Vince Soliven’s Everything is Better with a Gorilla.

Who could pass after seeing something like this?

There are great decisions, like getting ice cream. Then, there are remarkable decisions, like hiring a Gorilla to mow your lawn. Not only are Gorillas conscientious workers, they also have an affinity for lawn care. Not to mention an appreciation for beauty.

Gorillas can do the job of mowing the lawn at the same speed it would take five normal human beings after swallowing Ripped Fuel pills.

Gorillas prefer the push mower, for Gorillas are very eco-friendly. However, for bigger jobs they will use the standard gas powered mower. In any case, often Gorillas choose to just eat the grass, as it’s quicker, more efficient, and more digestively fulfilling.

Hire a Gorilla to cut your lawn and you will be astounded with the results. It’s like a soft, hairy, bustling Home Depot showing up every week, appearing exclusively in your yard.

Then when I saw the wonderful illustrations that Vince created for it I knew I had to try to sell it. Of course, just because I thought it was genius didn’t mean an editor would actually write us a check for it, but the terrific Brendan O’Neill over at Adams Media got it immediately and signed the book. The authors have also just launched a series of really funny videos for the book. Check them out here.
