From playing hopscotch on the black and white tiles of the kitchen
floor, attempting a stealth purchase of feminine protection for his
wife, imitating Mighty Mouse by saving the day each morning as he
bounds down the stairs or secretly being taped by Dateline NBC as
he watches a "Monday Night Football" game, Heidi Rice's husband,
who she affectionately calls "husband-head," is an eight-year-old,
football addict trapped in a man's body and a great subject for a
humor columnist. For ten years, Heidi Rice has entertained readers
of all ages with her weekly "Fried Rice" humor column in the
Glenwood Springs (Colo.) Post Independent, detailing life with her
spouse. Now peer into the lives of the Rice's-a baby boomer couple
who don't have babies but share a lot of laughs-in this
sixty-column collection of her favorites. From football to family,
housekeeping to holidays, there is something in Skully Says Shut
It! that will assure you that (sigh) you aren't the only weirdoes
in the world.

42 Things to do When You're the Last Man on Earth is NOT - we
repeat NOT - a "how to" book. If you happen to find yourself alone
on the planet and you are armed only with your wits and this novel
you are in serious trouble. Though before you die a horrible death
we hope you take time to read the swiftly moving science fiction
comedy novel about a security guard who wakes up one morning to
discover everyone else on the planet had left. Now he, his super
advanced talking sneakers, and a couple of other stragglers must
figure out how and why everyone else left while battling evil cows,
insane civil servants, and other nasty surprises. This will most
likely be the most powerful book you have ever read that features
talking sneakers.
Go the F**k to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the
real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't
always send a toddler sailing off to dreamland.
Profane, affectionate and refreshingly honest, it captures the familiar and
unspoken tribulations of putting your child to bed for the night.
Colourfully illustrated and hilariously funny, this is a breath of fresh air for parents new, old and expectant*.
(*You should probably not read this to your children.)
