Product Description Idjit Galoot has a problem. He escaped from his master's house for a brief romp around town, seeking out easy targets such as bitches in heat, fresh roadkill and unguarded garbage cans. When he returns to his house, the aged basset hound discovers that his master has packed up their belongings and moved to Florida without him. "Smashed, Squashed, Splattered, Chewed, Chunked and Spewed" is the story of Idjit Galoot's ne'er do well owner and his efforts to work his way back to the dog that he loves. Along the way, Idjit's owner encounters Christian terrorists, swamp-dwelling taxidermists, carnies, a b-list poopie-groupie, bluesmen on the run from a trickster deity, and the Florida Skunk Ape.

Amazing. :] September 28, 2007 Kelli Reich 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I bought this book based just upon the title and cover and expected it to be bizarre. I wasn't disappointed. The author is obviously influenced by Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams but doesn't seem to try to be them. I have to agree with the other reviewer who compared the book to Christopher Moore's stuff. It would seem that Mr. Moore and Carbuncle had a lot of the same influences. Smashed, etc., is the ultimate roadtrip book. I loved the dream sequences with the author and his dog and would have liked to see more of them. Oh well, maybe in the next book. I laughed out loud too many times while tearing through the book and sometimes could not believe how funny something so twisted could be. Thank you for the laughs, Mr. Carbuncle.
Awesome Truly Genius! October 19, 2007 Lindsay B. Sims (PA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Smashed Squashed Splattered Chewed Chunked and Spewed is the best book I have read in a while. The off beat comedy is about a man and his best friend. A basset hound named Idjit Galoot. Idjit decides to run away a day before the main character and his mother move to Florida. With "stuffed" daddy in tow and cousin Denny they head for the new home. So begins a surreal adventure to Florida. Along the way meeting a almost un real cast of characters. I laughed and went through the book in record speed. The book itself keeps you speelbound and its very hard to put down. I recomend it highly. Definately check out Lance Carbuncle the man is a genious and I cant wait until the next book! Oh and I vote Idjit for president. The dog makes more sense than the current political nonsense in this country!

sssccap is the funniest book I have ever read. I couldn't put it down. It has a hilarious cast of characters and even crazier events that are all masterfully wound together. If you have a weird sense of humor BUY THIS BOOK NOW!!!!
uncontrolled insanity that we can all relate to November 26, 2007 Lei Lani K. Lucero (Hampton, Virginia USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a fantastic first book from the Reverend Carbuncle, for anyone born in the 50's through late 70's, the references to everyday life from those eras will catch you off guard and have you laughing out loud (sometimes at the most inappropriate moments!! Sorry Dr. Kean's secretary) It doesn't take a vivid imagination to picture the characters as they travel through the pages, please, please someone make a movie of this book! Hard to pin down the style, this is truly a unique vision of one man's (hilarious) life. To whoever is on my Christmas list reading this, you know what you're getting this year (if you've been nice)
Stop reading reviews and BUY IT! November 28, 2007 Daniel Gallas (Tyler, Texas United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Often hilarious, always fun, Smashed, Squashed, Splattered, Chewed, Chunked and Spewed is a honkin' good time from start to finish. With tons of pop-culture references; dark, twisted humor; and insanely well developed characters; Lance Carbuncle brings home a great first novel. Fans of Christopher Moore, Robert Tacoma, and Tim Dorsey will find joy in Carbuncle's pages. This is one wild and zany (road)trip you won't want to miss!
