ancestry to recount part of the history of his family of McKenzies,
which touches eight generations.
Stephen Guy Hardin's Commies on Parade is the follow-up to If Being
a Conservative Were Easy, There Wouldn't Be Any Liberals. Commies
On Parade is a collection of satirical, yet honest reflections on
the political mating habits of the American Left, as well as
reflecting on the overall state of American politics.
Grassroots Clippings from Oklahoma Green Country is a collection of
essays and political commentary in the form of editorial letters
appearing in the Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise over a period of
12 years. They chronicle the political events of the times, mainly
the Clinton presidential years, as seen through the eyes of a
diehard Democrat living in a Republican stronghold. Passionately
partisan, they present a folk narrative of history for political
"junkies."
More wit and humor from the author of "Over the Hill Without a
Paddle: And Other Signs of Confusion in a New Millennium," This
time he gives us his skewed take and observations on everything
with titles from A to Z - except for nine letters in between that
apparently aren't that funny - and including the numbers One, Two,
Three, and the words First and Second. Check it out. Among the
subjects that catch his fancy are wives, husbands, children,
grandchildren, doctors, hornets, birds, ants, dogs, morticians and
sex. He pitches shows to TV programmers, points out a shortcut to
young men in the back seats of cars, and scrutinizes both Family
Jewels and Amazon Undies. All of which - and more - go to prove
that even someone who has inched his way over the hill and then
rolled down the other side can still find plenty to look at if he
just lands facing up.

Here again, I will be gracing another major subject with my
irreproachable wisdom and my brain-flipping intelligence, in this
4,630 word book. I doubt that there is a single evolutionist who
can match wits with me because I am a student of life and of
nature. My own self-administered studies are far greater than those
that can be offered by universities and schools (not to degrade the
importance of them for most people) or by attaining educational
degrees and credentials (also very important for the right people).
I need none of these things personally because I have already
attained an education on my own, that far exceeds those that would
provide me an officially-recognized expertize on any of the
subjects I address. No, it is rather my own students - those who
follow my written dissertations and teachings, who supply me with
the credentials of an expert. Now here we go, into those golden
gates of my chapters, that will forever change your brain for the
better. You will in fact become 'brain-flipped," so brace yourself
and delve into my words of infallible wisdom I hereby grant you
permission to proceed TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 The Importance of
Bananas and Monkeys Among Evolutionists CHAPTER 2 The Theory of
Evolution Makes Money for Scientists CHAPTER 3 My Interview with
Bigfoot ("I'm Not a Missing Link" He Says ) CHAPTER 4 If We're
Animals We Shouldn't Have Morals In Conclusion **The History Behind
these Comedy/Satire Books**: While my largest base of book titles
are on health disorder subjects, I also have a significant number
of business-related titles published, as well as many on Christian
Bible theology. Before I began publishing in any of these serious
genres, which I do feel are my most important ones, I tried my hand
at comedy via online articles I wrote in years previous (I created
a few short stories during this period as well). Having kept these
comedy pieces I wrote, in saved files after taking them offline, I
decided to revive them by publishing them in eBook and paperback
form. I did have to tweak them and edit them a bit but I managed to
give them all that Percy P. III flavor. Of course as real the
writer of them (James M. Lowrance), I think they're pretty funny
and relatives who I shared them with, confirmed this evaluation --
so I decided to offer them to the world. With them being so
different from my serious subject books, I assigned a pen name to
them as well, being "Percyvelle Pennington the Third." He seems
more like the guy who wrote them, than I do. Percy is a snide type
guy and he is arrogant; traits that I hopefully never display in
real life He does make his points known in his memoirs but in
strangely comical ways. A "cheerful heart is a good medicine"
according to the Holy Bible, and "laughter is the best medicine"
according to Reader's Digest. My thoughts were, that if I could
take a few serious or controversial subjects via my compiled
articles and create a little comedy from them that makes people
smile or laugh, it would be something worth publishing. With the
debates going on within these subjects, between people expressing
the pros and cons of them, it is my hope that I can lighten the
rhetoric a bit by injecting some humor into them. These booklets
ARE NOT intended to offend anyone and if you'll notice, I make fun
of everyone in them, via my alter writing personality -- Percy P.
III. It is my hope that readers find the medicine of laughter and
cheer within the pages of them, so that they can escape the
stressors of life for just a little while

Most of Shorty's time was spent galloping through fields and
jumping fences. That was the only world he knew and he was quite
content with it.
Then a tragic accident happened, leaving him lame and scarred,
which turned his world upside down. Abandoned, he was left outside,
cold and hungry, feeling sad and lonely. He endured a heartbreaking
and abusive life until it got to the point where he didn't want to
continue this life he was living any more.
It was at that point when a strange man came and rescued Shorty
and took him to a home of a family with children who loved him and
thought he was beautiful, regardless of his scars and lame leg. His
life would now be filled with all kinds of friends, of love,
laughter, sadness and tears. This is the story about Shorty's life
on the farm.
4200 gigs. 250 Film and TV song placements. 30 years in music.
These are some of the bullet points in the resume of
author/musician Bill Cinque. THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF A MARGINALLY
SUCCESSFUL MUSICIAN is an educational and entertaining look at the
world of music.
Honest, insightful and often humorously brutal, Cinque speaks
to the beginner, the seasoned pro, and the non-musician "civilian"
in a unique and refreshing voice about the rehearsals, recordings
and rejections in the life of a self-described "blue collar,
working class musician."
Spanning seven decades from his 1940s childhood in Rochester,
New York, to his retirement in Southern California, "Sleeping with
Lumbago" documents the events and experiences of author Sam R.
Culotta's life. He recalls his Catholic school days, his family's
migration west, his teens, his military service, and, most notably,
the dynamics of his Sicilian-American family.
With his signature sardonic wit and good-natured criticism, he
takes on nuns, schoolmates, friends, and neighbors as well as more
than a few professions, religious institutions, social conventions
and, of course, himself. In the story "And Then There Were Two,"
Culotta discusses the unusual and embarrassing discovery made
during a physical exam at his Catholic elementary school when he
was in sixth grade. "Caution: Friends May Be Dangerous to Your
Health" describes a narrow escape from injury, accident, and mayhem
when his buddy Don pulls a dangerous stunt in his 1949 Mercury.
"Sleeping with Lumbago" presents a collection of humorous
personal essays that document the unexceptional life of an
unexceptional man with an exceptional amount of wit and
discontent.

conservative home life with the tropical paradise of South Florida
in the 1950s. Meet Mercy's memorable friends and relatives who help

offer hope and support." sometimes we need to tell, "Lies of Mercy
and Lies of Grace."
A book about absolutely nothing at all. A novel that isn't about
any subject at all including fiction, nonfiction, fantasy or
anything else that could be written about. This book is solely for
entertainment and a conversation piece. Please do not take it
seriously.
This "dictionary" is intended to be, in jest, a reply to the French
and their constant attitudes of redundancy toward Americans and the
U.S.A. The author felt it was necessary for someone to show them
just how silly they are!
