Divorced, dateless and about to become desperate, Roger tries his
luck with a dating agency, hoping to find the perfect woman, one
with a GSOH - a Great Sense of Humour - only to find someone starts
slaughtering the women he meets, making him look more like a serial
killer than a lady killer. Forced to go on the run from the police,
to try to rescue the ladies still living after a night out with
him, and to save his own skin - not necessarily in that order -
Roger discovers that, not only does the course of true love never
run smooth, sometimes even just dating can be murder. "A terrific
comic novel, utterly unputdownable." "A 'laugh out loud' kind of
book." (Lulu Readers' reviews.) "I like the characters and I like
the jaunty way the story moves along. Clever plot too." (Peter
Guttridge, the Observer crime fiction critic.)
This "dictionary" is intended to be, in jest, a reply to the French

just how silly they are!

world's most hilarious doggos, this book is a pawsome gift for
anyone who enjoys preposterous pooch pics It's a truth universally

and splendid to be seen. Funny Dogs is here to chronicle these
important moments of absurdity. Within its pages, you'll find: A
selection of ridiculous dogs in high-quality photo form Witty
captions to make you laugh out loud Priceless expressions and
relatable memes for all the moments you thought you were the only
one (but realized you weren't) There is simply no end to the

celebrate, honour and cherish that fact.

but R. D. Wright has found a way to handle it with wit and humor.

book, Ron." "No it's not, I looked." Sound familiar?

children, tadpoles, and so on. "And merrily embellished by Walter
Jack Duncan"

Mario Santos is a brown-faced Huck Finn on the banks of his
Mississippi, the Chama River. He is Holden Caulfield out of the
"gray" city and atop the beautiful mountains of Northern New
Mexico, under the influence of a Pentecostal camp meeting;
MacCauley Caulkin "Home Alone" and ankle deep in Tabernacle
sawdust. Our ten-year old hero asks the hard spiritual questions of
existence through a courageous and reckless abandon of convention,
and an ADHD passion for adventure. He obliterates religious
pomposity and sanctimonious boundaries with his natural discernment
of Christian character and religious characters and cuts to the
guts of hypocrisy like he's cleaning a freshly caught 'German
Brown' trout. Mario Santos innocently introduces us to a God who
might not be recognizable to those convinced of a sterile,
stained-glass, Sundays-only deity of cushioned pews and hushed
vaunted ceilings. Rolando Benavidez writes as colorful an auto
biography as you will ever read, matching the wild wardrobe of a
certain angel that keeps plucking Mario out of harm's way as only a
supernatural Big Indian can. You'll wonder how the story can be
true unless you've also experienced heroic, larger-than-life
parents and a hilariously personal God. You don't have to be in the
patched-up shoes of a Spanish-speaking, brown-skinned Pentecostal
preacher's kid to enjoy Chama Stories, Mario Santos has got that
covered and good, as he invites us to hang on for an adventure we
won't soon forget. Chama Stories is a page turning, laugh-out-loud
finger-tip trip down the author's memory lane; a dusty lane, set in
New Mexico's beautiful Chama Valley, rife with dirt and bumps and
outhouses and overzealous deacons and witches and outrageous names
and characters too many and funny to list. You'll laugh and cry and
wonder why, and in the end you'll be looking for that camp meeting
of your own. But be careful, you just might find it.
It was a hot humid day and as Deal looked down at the flower
covered coffin he could feel the sweat running down his forehead
and temples. All the while wishing the minister would hurry and end
the service. Deal hates funerals and does everything he can to
avoid them including this one, his mother's funeral. Life didn't
turn out the way Deal expected. His life is in shambles. Something
in his past is deeply embedded in his soul that makes him unable to
cope with everyday life. Most people reminisce about a time when
they were young, but Deal is obsessed with it. It's his escape from
reality. After the funeral at his mother's home he drifts into a
deep sleep. It all comes back, all the adventures he and Benny had
the year he turned eleven and Benny turned nine, back when life was
so much simpler. The story is an amusing account of Deal and
Benny's adventures, trials and tribulations filled with plenty of
nostalgia to remind the reader about the simple life of the 1950's
before the onslaught of technology.
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM 20TH CENTURY FOX Two
reckless but lovable all-American bros make a strong case for
maturing slowly through their outrageous yet enlightening
misadventures. My brother and I are looking for wedding dates for
our cousin's wedding. We've been told by the bride that bringing
dates is "mandatory" so we "won't harass all of my friends all
night" and "stay under control." Rather than ask some fringe women
in our lives to go and face the inevitable `does this mean he wants
to take it to the next level?!' questions, we'd rather bring
complete strangers and just figure it out...We're both in our 20s,
single, dashingly tall, Anglo-Saxon, respectfully athletic, love to
party, completely house trained...love our mother, have seen Love
Actually several times...raw, emotional, sensitive, but still bad
boys....You should be attractive or our aunts will judge you, but
not TOO attractive or one of our uncles might grope you. Dave and
Mike Stangle thought nothing of it when they boozily decided to
turn to the "activity partners" section of Craigslist to solicit
dates to their cousin's wedding. The hilarious, out-of-this-world
ad that they came up with-featuring a picture of the two brothers
as centaurs-immediately went viral, eventually landing these
Wayfarers-wearing, moped-riding, completely reckless but ultimately
loveable bros in the annals of the "Internet famous." With the
incredible comedic chemistry of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson in
Wedding Crashers and the uncensored honesty of Tucker Max, Mike and
Dave insist there's nothing wrong with just seeing where life takes
you.

Take a break from the rat race and catch a glimpse of life in Brown
County, Illinois. You'll laugh at the crazy antics, and even
funnier - these stories are based on actual happenings, but you get
to guess which ones are real. Don't underestimate what could really
happen if you had a skunk wander into your deer blind, or imagine
the insane situation if you were on step number 7 of an 8-step,
unbalanced stepladder with a hornet nest in your hands! Now, kick
back and enjoy the tails.
Looking through his crystal clear rose colored lenses, Arner
examines his boyhood as he searches for the answer to the age old
question each of us asks from time to time, "Why am I who I am?"
Through his warm, rich, engaging, and humorous style, readers meet
and get to know unforgettable characters like The Mastermind, Jerry
Yellsalot, and Claude Hopper as they explore and relive hilarious
life-altering events told through the eyes of the boy who actually
lived them. Hilarious and thought provoking, stories like Fudge?
What Fudge?, The Stagecoach, Setting Pins, and Trust Me, This Won't
Hurt, lead the reader through the maze we call childhood and the
pattern-maker's mold of our teen years through which the die is
made and cast that shapes us into the adults we become. Travel back
now to a time not so long ago when the world seemed to spin a
little slower and life was a lot simpler; a time when dreams were
dreamed and adventures were lived and a boy grew into a man.
