When persons of renown, like despots and Hollywood celebs, need advice, they go to the world-famous guru of wisdom and sound financial investment, the Ethicalist. They are drawn by the Ethicalist's uncanny perspicacity and the ability to keep their secrets out of the tabloids. The reader will understand why the Ethicalist remains anonymous after this explosive collection from the archive becomes known. Who knew that despots in the Middle East can be lovelorn and long for American blond entertainers? Or that the baby in the celebrity's carriage was actually a loaf of Italian bread with a face painted on it? Or that a former Park Avenue millionaire's wife is living in a New York subway tunnel? Or that a famous couple with a ton of kids plans to open a baby renting business to celebs who don't want to bother with the mess of having their own? Or that the editrix of Vogue has a shocking panty line? The Ethicalist knows it all and shares it all with complete discretion.

Grin Tails* Complete is a compilation of the delightfully fun Grin stories, and will amuse an audience of children through adults. This book has the colorful imagination of kids with the undercurrent of adult humor. It was developed with the help of the 5th grade classes at Ronald Reagan Elementary School in Nampa, Idaho. Additionally, all art work was done by children ages four to eleven. However, it isn't just for kids; adults will also find these stories fun. Grin Tails* are a kind of rearrangement of some traditional tales familiar to every one. And, of course, with the addition of children input, they are more delightful. In the words of teacher, Cierra Christian: " Roy Rummler graciously spent time brainstorming and sharing ideas with our students. Together they came up with some delightful ideas combined with Roy's sense of humor and story craft that are sure to entertain the young and young at heart."
A PARODY OF THE BELOVED FANTASY DOORSTOP... ER, SAGA In the land of the Eight (or was it Six?) Kingdoms--where the seasons last as long as a series of bestselling Tolkien-esque novels--trouble is brewing. The mud is growing muddier, the onions are rotting, the Wall to the North (or is it the South?) is melting, and Lord Barker of Summerseve is getting worried. His wife is addicted to Godsweede, his King is too fat to fit into his armor, and the foreshadowing is out of control. All in all, not the position you want to be in when Summer is coming. From this world of outdoor fornication with horse-people (and indoor fornication with blood relatives) comes an epic story of novella proportions. Amid plots and counterplots, power-hungry warriors and overworked ravens, poor reception and no wireless, the future of the Barkers, their BFFs, and their enemies dangles in the balance, as each strives to survive long enough to appear in at least two of the sequels.

Ask anyone who knows him: Paddy Pest is a real character. Paddy is an Australian crime fighter with a dubious Irish background, an overwhelming abundance of confidence, and a handful of bad habits. His enthusiasm for finding trouble is only exceeded by his incompetence. Fortunately, his pal and sometime sidekick, Stormy Weathers, is usually available to rescue him from his ill-advised forays into foolish and reckless situations-frequently involving the fairer sex. From Yvette Baguette, the delightfully French gendarme, to Paddy's nemesis, Nadia Nickoff-the minx from Minsk-Paddy is a lady's man all the way. Murder and mayhem are all in a day's work for this Aussie crime fighter. He needs his wits to survive the onslaught of the disreputable rogues and villains who are out to get him. Paddy's life is one big, unbelievable adventure after another. And now, he's got a certain lady on a certain train who needs his help-or does she? The world needs someone like Paddy Pest-and if you doubt that, just ask him
Rebel without a cause, werewolf without claws, Grey travels across all regions of Oz (Australia) in a comedy-fantasy parody of the Wizard of Oz. It is not witches that hunt the protagonist for a ruby slipper, but monotheists desperate to get their hands on an emerald cork hat. There's no scarecrow, tin man and cowardly lion searching for brain, heart and courage; instead, we have Elle McPherson, Angry Anderson and Bon Scott inspired characters needing a body, mind and spirit confidence boost. Will Grey and the intrepid travellers elude their pursuers and reach their destination? This book provides amazing action and surreal comedy in poetry and prose before reaching a cohesive and thrilling ending.

There are three small words to one simple truth: Parody is popular. It's so popular in contemporary society that you don't even have to go to a comedy club or find an off-Broadway stage to enjoy this unique type of humor. Just flick on your television or click, toggle, and swipe away at your laptop, tablet, or other digital must-have device. Parody is everywhere...because it has to be. We need it. In itself, parody is one of the most comforting forms of humor out there. It takes an event, topic, or medium to which the common, everyday person already has a strong emotional response and then reshapes it in a way that stirs an entirely different emotion. Parody helps us make sense of the absurd, brings fun to the mundane, and allows us to laugh when we might otherwise want to cry or throw our hands up in the air in defeat. It lifts us up when we are down and gives a new spin to things that frustrate us, offend our beliefs, or leave us wondering what could possibly come next. In other words, parody helps us digest what is going on in the world around us. And to that end, Fred Landau offers a unique blend of humor, music, and current events that will please your palate and leave you begging for another round. 21st Century Oldies is a compilation of parodies of twenty-first-century current events delivered in the form of new lyrics to classic pop songs. Mostly from the 1960s and '70s but going even a little further back, the songs are familiar ditties that we all know and love, and you'll love them in a new way when you see what Landau has done with them. A graduate of Harvard Law School with a master's degree from NYU School of Law, Landau combines his extensive background in musical theater with his clever wit and creative mind to deliver verses and lines that are not only playful but also inspirational. Landau's lyrics are fun, sarcastic, even silly at times, and they'll definitely stick in your head-and, maybe once they're stuck there, you'll be able to more easily appreciate their deeper meaning. Behind their entertainment value, the songs ultimately sing to triumph over adversity, which is a silver lining we all hope to find these days. The first volume in a forthcoming comprehensive set, 21st Century Oldies, Volume 1 includes parodies of topics and tunes starting with the letters A and B. Future volumes will go on to cover subjects and songs from the remainder of the alphabet, to culminate in what will prove to be nothing less than an encyclopedia of laughter, smiles, and very good times. To the memorable music of tried and true artists such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Whitney Houston, and Barbara Streisand, topics parodied in this volume include American Idol meltdowns, Mark Sanford's Argentina saga, the AIG bailout mess, Bette Midler's always-dramatic professional life, and, of course, Barack Obama. Turn on your radio-or whatever it is you use to play music these days-and start reading this book. In no time, you'll be singing along, laughing, and feeling a whole lot better about life.
This satirical spin on the ancient, much-beloved nursery rhymes of our youth gives familiar characters such as Little Jack Horner and Little Bo Peep a chance to "make it" in our 21st century. Unfortunately, it's not easy to time travel in leaps and bounds, so you'll enjoy the hilarious and unexpected glitches our Mother Goose friends encounter along the way. Intended for more adult audiences, this collection of free-verse poems delights and surprises with literary references, witty double meaning, and clever irony.
Warning If your politics are hard left, "You Hear Me, Barack?" may induce spontaneous cranial combustion. Just move along to something by Bill Maher. But if you're around the middle or roll right, are up on current events, and enjoy seeing President Obama and the left skewered, this book is for you. Lucianne Goldberg says Grammatico is "sharp, smart, original, and fall down funny . . . he] belongs in the political pundit hall of fame with Iowahawk, Mark Steyn, and P.J. O'Rourke." "National Review"'s Michael Walsh advises readers to "sit back, relax and enjoy this parade of poltroons, hoist high with their own petards. You're in the hands of a master." "You Hear Me, Barack?" contains over one hundred pieces of biting--but never crude or vicious--satire. The selections range from fly-on-the-wall Obama War Room dialogues to news spoofs to quirky interviews to parodies of famous poems, and more. In his Acknowledgements, Grammatico graciously thanks the president and his fellow Democrats for providing a wonderful challenge: making fun of an administration and political party that are almost beyond parody.
