We told you last month about Tripp and Tyler's new book Stuff You Should Know About Stuff: How to Properly Behave in Certain Situations. We've since gotten a preview copy and have tips for future readers of this compelling page turner/coaster.

You need two copies of this book in your house, especially during the holidays. One goes in the bathroom, and not just because it has urinals on the cover. This is prime bathroom reading. Its conversational tone will appeal to extroverts and might keep your Uncle Bubba out of the living room for a few blissful bonus minutes.

The second book goes on your coffee table as a welcome distraction for introverts wanting to avoid political soundbite volleys and the annual post-meal belching competition. But for the sake of your sweet nana, you might want to conceal the cover of this copy. Any 8x10 sheet of paper will fit, though it'll be a bit awkward. Like Nana's encounter with pages 64-65, “You're Doing Email Wrong.”

The book has a pronouns issue. Some tips are first-person, but the person doesn't say whether they're Tripp or Tyler. If you follow these two on YouTube, you know they're pretty much the same guy, different heights, so don't worry about it. You're a grammar nerd on a toilet. What are you gonna do?

SPOILER: Neil from accounting. It's always Neil from accounting. Poor Neil.

Friends will begin to see you as a guru after you read this book. You'll know what to do with things like those pesky phone books, and shirts shot out of a canon.

Ignore the chapter on Twitter rules. The tone is too serious and the rules way too specific to be anything other than a passive aggressive list for @AccountingNeil.

Now you know what to take to the office gift swap. White Elephant, Secret Santa, random dude who got you something and you weren't expecting that – you're covered. Keep a few wrapped copies in your desk and in your car. Golden.

Enjoy your new life as a genius. To get you started, here's Tripp and Tyler's Phone Tips, taken from Stuff You Should Know About Stuff.   

One of the first writers on this site was Jason Brooks, back when the Sun was known as Snellville Local News.  Jason ran Grayson Local News, and both were intended to be, well, local news.  But as Jason says,  "I suck at being a news reporter. I have too much life getting in the way to stay on top of things like a hard news reporter should."

So both sites became community blogs, and Jason is publisher of what's now Grayson Local.  He's also author of four books, including the newly-released Just Pretend You're Dead (And Other Parenting Insights).   His writing is both funny and honest -- Just Pretend holds nothing back.  I'll be reviewing it for you here soon but today I  just want you to meet one of our co-founders.  Jason worked ridiculous hours to build this site and bring readers like you here. Thank him by buying one or all of his books.

Snellville Somebodies is a regular feature designed to introduce you to every person in Snellville, because around here, everybody's somebody.  

You may know them from conference appearances, their YouTube channel, or from high school. Tripp Crosby and Tyler Stanton grew up around here and apparently that gave them years of great material. Like the internet classic Things You Can't Do When You're not in a Pool which led to an entire series of "Things You Can't Do When"  videos for NickMom.

Now they have a book coming out called Stuff You Should Know About Stuff: How to Properly Behave in Certain Situations. Preorders are being taken for its November 4 release.  We'll be reviewing the book here and telling you way more than you want to know about the guys.  If you have questions for Tripp and/or Tyler, let us know here or on the contact page.  

For now I'll just tell you yes, that is the actual cover and the book trailers below are G.I. Joe-style cartoons.

You're welcome.
