It is1972 in the United Kingdom and the Prime Minister, Ted Heath,
is declaring a three day working week and a State of Emergency as
the Coalminer s Strike begins to bite. Abba are topping the charts
and Monty Python s Flying Circus are offering us something
completely different on BBC2. Behind the backdrop of this we follow
John Caswell, a football mad 15 year old from the Midlands as he
embarks on his fi nal year at Kettering Grammar School. We suffer
with him as he agonizes over his O levels in the summer of 1973
culminating in mixed results and fi nds himself working in an offi
ce in a Builders Merchants with little idea of how his life is
going to take off. Later that year John meets and becomes totally
infl uenced by his sister s boyfriend who is in the Merchant Navy.
Convinced this is the life for him John then goes to the National
Sea Training School in Gravesend and we follow his exciting passage
through the three month Lifeboat and Effi cient Deck Hand course
before embarking on his fi rst trip to sea in September 1974
onboard the Anco Empress . We then follow him on an adventure
across the oceans and upon the high seas around the World, crossing
the Equator, learning his new skills and transforming a shy, timid
and naive young man into an adult via Rotterdam, Montreal, New
York, New Orleans, Rio De Janeiro, Durban and back to Rotterdam
with hilarious and embarrassing consequences as he comes to terms
with his ever changing environments and the social demands of a
work hard / play hard regime.
Most of these stories are true. Some are fabrications. "The Gun
Show" is one. It is a loose interpretation of an event. If you are
familiar with the event, you will understand the satire. The
stories, such as "The Great Possum Slayer," tell of a hunting
adventure. We are all guilty of doing something to a friend in the
name of fun. "The night Before Christmas" describes a practical
joke that turned out better than planned Several stories, as an
example, "BB'S & Bumblebees," reflect on our desire to imitate
our parents. Several of the stories convey a safety message. "The
Hazards of Plastic Bullets," is an example that shows what can
happen in the blink of an eye when we choose to disregard a simple
safety statement. Some of the stories deal with older people and a
time not so long ago. These people believed that you took care of
your problem. You will notice in these stories, the problem would
have gone away or been taken care of long before law enforcement
could arrive. With our modern communications we can now summon the
Calvary in an instant. It has not been too long ago that this was
not the case in a lot of areas of our great nation. "The Letter,"
is an adaptation of a letter I want read at my funeral. Surprise,
fear, courage, fortitude and a child's belief that they are bullet
proof are all expressed in stories in this book. A book of this
nature easily causes us to reflect on our lives and events that
have slipped into our fading memory. If this book reminds a single
individual of any similar events in their past, makes them a safer
individual, or makes them laugh it will have succeed in its purpose
beyond expectations.

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.
The White Anglo-Saxon Protestant Bachelor's Survival Guide and
Cookbook is the hilarious story of one man's attempt to grow up in
America's Heartland--with recipes tribute to family, friends,
females and food as an example to uncertain young men
everywhere--and to the patient people who love them. opener.
When The Life of Brian was first released in 1979 it was hailed by
most as Monty Python's finest parody and denounced by a few as the
most blasphemous film of all time. But, with its unforgettable
songs and its infinitely quotable script it has gone on to become
an enduring cult classic.
Satire, Comedy and Mental Health examines how satire helps to
sustain good mental health in a troubled socio-political world.
Through an interdisciplinary dialogue that combines approaches from
the analytic philosophy of art, medical and health humanities,
media studies, and psychology, the book demonstrates how satire
enables us to negotiate a healthy balance between care for others
and care of self. Building on a thorough philosophical explication
and close analysis of satire in various forms - including novels,
music, TV, film, cartoons, memes, stand-up comedy and protest
artefacts - Declercq investigates how we can harness satirical
entertainment to ease the limits of critique. In so doing, the book
presents a compelling case that, while satire cannot hope to cure
our sick world, it can certainly help us to cope with it.
