Mr. Kradel is an ER doctor in Arkansas. He actually wrote a novel
once but it was very bad and frankly a bit silly. He has now turned
his fascination with Wal-Mart, obsession with Arkansas Razorback
basketball and other parts of a bitter and lonely existence into a
bunch of stories. If nothing else he at least amuses himself.
This complete edition of All Things Considered by G.K. Chesterton
sees the author show off his critical wit and poise with
considerable aplomb. The topics herein range between discussions on
human nature and behaviour, to the contemporary affairs which
enveloped Edwardian Britain, and even to the practice of chasing
one's hat. Ponderings on a scientific theme, together with
discussions on Chesterton's favourite topic of religion. In all,
these torrents and barbs offer the reader both entertainment and
pause for thought. All Things Considered is a collection of
highlights from various magazines Chesterton wrote in during the
early 20th century. The skillful display of paradox in his pointed
arguments for faith make for provocative reading. Characterized by
the author's easily digestible and plainly written style, the works
of G.K. Chesterton have generally aged well in the modern day,
being both literate and straightforward in style.
Is there anything in the world as special, loving and abjectly
terrible as a dad joke? We re not talking about just some silly
jokes or one-liner; these jokes are an assembly of some of the most
offensive and funny jokes, puns and double entendres known to man.
Guaranteed to annoy loved ones to the very brink of entertainment,
these jokes are a surefire way to land some embarrassing laughs.
Stubbed toe? Better call the toe truck! The best (or worst) dad
jokes come from the world around us covering the essential dad joke
subjects like: The family: You forgot the pickles! It s kind of a
big dill. Kid jokes: What s the worst thing about being a
grapefruit? That you look nothing like a grape! Insult jokes: If I
wanted to hear from a butthole, I d just fart. Old age: Sometimes
when I buy wine, I stand at the register a bit longer than normal
hoping that the cashier asks for ID. Gain the respect and
admiration (or at least the annoyance) of your friends and
coworkers
WORK AND PLAY in southern Indiana" is the third in a series of my
books. It is in the time of the 1970's and 1980's. In it is some
things learned working construction and then at a foundry. Also are
thoughts on three wheelers, rafting creeks and walking through
train tunnels. My first book MAPLE GROVE, was of growing up on a
dairy farm. My second book, MAPLE GROVE THE 60's, was of some
things I learned during my teenage years. Wanting to save stories
for my grandchildren, I bought a computer in 1990 and started
compiling my hand written writings. I am just an average person
with my average stories. People seem to enjoy relating to these
average stories, remembering their version of life.
Against the Grain is a gritty, introspective look at Brent Waldo's
childhood growing up the 80's. Nothing is sugar coated while he
guides you through his triumphs and struggles as if you were living
them right alongside him. From his first sexual experience in a
movie theatre while his dog was tied up out front, to harrowing
tales of his times as a commercial fisherman in Alaska. It's
creatively honest, sometimes funny, other times not. He tackles
some of today's political hot topics with a 'head on' mentality and
makes zero apologies. From first jobs, girlfriends, and flight
school, to college days and misadventures travelling the globe.
There's a little bit of each and every one of us in this book,
that's what makes it so appealing. So throw your feet up on the
coffee table, grab a cold beer, and dig in. In no time at all,
you'll feel like you've been spending time with a long lost buddy.
All the while your tray table should be in the upright and locked
position and pay no attention to your overworked underpaid bitchy
flight attendants; their bosses took all their money Let's go for a
ride
This book outlines what the author believes to be ten important
issues or concepts that merit discussion or at least some thought.
Some are not new ideas by any stretch of the imagination, but may
have been glossed over, over reported or covered and debated so
much they may have lost their luster and are worth polishing up for
a fresh roll in the brain. The others you will find enlightening if
you happen to find yourself in "violation" for lack of a better
word. Now with a new official title of "Commandment," perhaps some
older but still relevant concepts may be revived and repaired and
the new ideas understood and accepted. Let's face it; it's tough to
get a new idea across anyone these days But when it's a
commandment... well how can you say no to a commandment? Though
obviously not written by god himself, the wish is that after
finishing the book you will agree that keeping 11 thru 20 in mind
and executing the fundamental spirit of the script would not be a
bad thing. Just like the original version History has shown that
nothing is fiercer than an aroused mind moving in the direction of
positive change. The Bible is a magnificent book and reveals itself
with the wonderful vernacular of the time. Like listening to the
inflection and dialect delivered by the actors from a movie shot in
the 1930's, turning the pages of the bible is like eaves dropping
on another time. But unlike the thirties, these days most men don't
call each other "Fella" "Mac" or "Daddy-o" as often as they once
did. So to have been dropped words like begat, shalt, and thou. In
the interest of smooth reading and less aspirin, Don too shalt...
uh... shall leave the tradition speak of the day to the titles of
the commandments only, and opt for an easier more casual discussion
into their meaning.
We all need a little help every now and then, don't we ladies. Well
here's all the help you need. Welcome your new best friend - the
indispensable little black book of advice. This book is the friend
your mother warned you about, the friend who always had the best
stories and always knew just what to say...to get you into trouble.
The Little Book of Bad Advice: you won't know how you ever managed
to live without it.
Wrinkles, Waistlines, and Wet Pants is an irreverent look at aging.
Fashion, self -improvement and social etiquette are thrown out the
window in this hilarious book that disregards good taste and
dignity. The author disproves the theory that fifty is the new
thirty with anecdotes, some of them actually true.
Existence after fifty, according to Jeanne Kraus, is fraught
with peril from lifethreatening underwear to homeowners'
associations. Lifestyle activities are recommended, along with full
schedules of doctor visits. Humiliation lurks at every corner with
shotgun makeup interventions, bodily function failures, and swiss
cheese memory. Condom trees, risqu photos found in a laundry mound,
and DNA-tainted ornaments all have their part in this series of
incidents.
Jeanne includes advice for those aging ne'er do-wells who hope
to make it to the pearly gates eventually. And even though this
book will not change you in any way, there is something for
everyone in Wrinkles, Waistlines, and Wet Pants. Even self-help
junkies will be delighted with the three insightful but useless
surveys.
Wrinkles, Waistbands, and Wet Pants was wittily written by
Jeanne Kraus, and illustrated by her sister, Diana Arneson, both
having experienced wrinkles, expanding waistlines, and wet
pants.
From 1957 to1972, Dorothy "Dottie" Lebo wrote a weekly humor
column called "Home at Heart" for the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
"Sunday Patriot-News" that chronicled the chaos and charms of
family life. A 1950s mom who refused to conform to the era's rigid
standards for housewives, Lebo documented suburban living during a
period of rapid change in American culture.
"Home at Heart" ran in the women's pages and won Lebo the
affection of legions of local fans as she recounted her hilarious
household misadventures. During the days when financial planning
meant managing charge accounts and layaway plans, and collecting
S&H green stamps, Lebo entertained her readers with reflections
on historic events, including the Apollo moonwalk, the
assassination of President Kennedy, and the British invasion led by
the Beatles. She mused on the lives of celebrities like actress
Elizabeth Taylor and football star Joe Namath, and she pondered a
rapidly changing culture as it came home to roost in the form of
long hair, basement bands, and pop psychology.
Full of good humor and brimming with the details of the time,
"Home at Heart "will take you back to a pivotal era. Diane Lebo
Wallace has lovingly compiled her mother's witty columns, offering
an intimate glimpse into the mind of an extraordinary housewife and
mother.
What is a Storyville? Whether you're in Toast, North Carolina,
Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky, or Winner, South Dakota, a Storyville
is a real town you can find on a map, with a tale behind its quirky
name. Covering 20,000 miles of U.S. roads, Dale Peterson drove with
his kids, Britt and Bayne, from Start, Louisiana, to Deadhorse,
Alaska in search of small-town America in the "garage sale of the
open highway." Along the way they explored open spaces, wild
places, and country back roads and met people who weren't afraid to
talk to one another. Together, they discovered the sights, sounds,
tastes, and smells of nearly sixty small towns, as well as the zany
stories behind them, guided by an AAA Road Atlas, expert local
storytellers, and lots of curiosity. They dipped into Caddo Lake
and the everglades of Uncertain, Texas, went a little crazy in
Loco, Oklahoma, and learned about bee colonies in Climax, New York.
Conversations with townsfolk range from the refrigerator at the
center of Noodle, Texas, and the hazards of Accident, Maryland, to
issues of civil rights, religion, and environmental preservation.
Collected here are the landscapes, landmarks, faces, thoughts, and
conversations of a sentimental, idiosyncratic, and often hilarious
American odyssey. Storyville, USA is a long, winding trip into the
back roads of the country and a longer one into the hinterland of
our own hearts.
Upton Sinclair meets Joseph Heller, the funniest book since A
Confederacy of Dunces. Austin's novel is an unlikely mixture of
expose, social satire and high comedy that somehow, brilliantly,
succeeds. It will make you laugh, cry, and want to punch out your
boss. Don't read this book at work, but by all means read it.
Charles Dodt, Author, The Night Boy *** Do you remember the best
time of your life? For Chuck Farlowe, his time came and went, one
April day back in 1973. His "A" game, unfortunately, was left in
the dugout that day. Cut to 1998. His son, Danny, is at the
crossroads of his life. A young man in need of answers, he finds
them in the form of a long-buried manuscript written by his father
back in 1973. Suddenly he finds himself at a strange place and
time-the Hotchkis Department Store in downtown Oakland, circa 1970.
Danny is introduced to both the store manager, Matt Farber, and the
store owner, Isaac Benjamin Stern. Soon a union election begins to
loom ominously. Chuck manages to find a kindred spirit in Lee
Kroeber, and eventually, after a struggle, with Cooper Smith, whose
own bitterness and alienation over store racism threatens to change
the entire store dynamic. When Wayne Justice joins the Hotchkis
fold in 1971, soon the era of poker and male bonding begin.
Rediscovering Mrs. Murphy is all about fighting through the pain of
the past and rediscovering what really matters.
