Recently discovered fragments of parchment and artifacts unearthed
have lead to a remarkable discovery of an unknown religious
tradition. The Cult of the Divine Diva and Her Fabulous Court's
Gospels are explored.
"Sharklock Bones: Bug Tails" is the fourth in a series about a
shark detective and his trusty sidekick, Dr. Flotsam. They float
around in a world of talking fish and animals, a world where
everyone talks in puns, anecdotes, jokes and word plays. The
stories are written in screenplay fashion to encourage role playing
and interaction among readers. The dynamic duo of Bones and Watson
take on and solve not-too-difficult mysteries in these stories or
"tails." The target audience is ages eight to eighty. In this book
"Sharklock Bones: Bug Tails" Sharklock and the Doc solve a
kidnapping and then go on to a final confrontation on Mister Rhee
Island with their arch enemy, the infamous Devious Dolphin. The
first book in the series is "Sharklock Bones: Fish Tails"
consisting of two "tails." The first is "Codfather" wherein our
heroes stop a kidnapping by Devious Dolphin. The second "tail" is
"Hound" and the duo helps Robert Eel Lee (atop a seahorse, of
course) capture a giant hound on the Moor. The second in the series
is "Sharklock Bones: Zoo Tails," also with two "tails." In "Horse,"
Sharklock's pony disappears from a locked stall. In "Seafood
Restaurant," our boys locate animals missing from the zoo. The
third book of "tails" is "Sharklock Bones: Pirate Tails," the
"tail" is entitled "Parrots of the Carob Bean." Bones and Flotsam
are on the hunt to locate Johnny Depth's missing pirate ship, the
Black Twirl. All lots of fun, lots of puns, lots of giggles and
more than a few groans. Swim on in and stay tuned for more "tails."
A parody of the Book of Genesis will full-color illustrations by
John Bergdahl. All the wisdom of a holy scripture, all the hot
lizard action of a monster movie. It has all your favorites like
Sodom and Gomorrah, the Great Flood, and Abraham and Isaac, but
there's so much more. You'll recoil to the horror of Cain and Abel,
thrill to the creation of the world, cheer at the plagues of Egypt,
and shudder at the instructions on circumcision.
At long last, Pappa Gander gets a few words in edgewise. Read some
of your old familiar nursery rhymes rewritten his way, plus a few
other rhymes, limericks, some haiku, and stories... Jack and the
Beanstalk -- did you ever wonder what happened to the cow? or the
beans from the beanstalk? What did Jack do later in life? Find out
in Jack and the Beanstalk, the Whole Story, Plus the Sequel... The
Adventures of Jack and Jill -- a hilarious blend of a lot of
familiar rhymes. Pappa Gander gets things a bit mixed up here, and
ends up with a second version of Jack and the Beanstalk, but with
the Seven Dwarves instead of the giant... Snow White, from an
alternative universe where things happen a bit differently...
Robby, the author behind Pappa Gander says: My poetic inspirations
were Roald Dahl, Shel Silverstien and Ogden Nash. Also included are
some of my cartoons, largly influenced by Gary Larson (Far Side).
Some of the rhymes were done strictly because I found words that
rhyme in an amusing way (amusing to me, anyway).
In this hilarious spoof of historic thrillers about everybody's
favorite Renaissance Man, Da Vinci has more than just his demons
and his code; he's got a head-cold that nearly costs the world The
Last Supper and sends the renowned artist-engineer-inventor on a
decade-long secret quest to rid mankind of one of its most annoying
ailments. Did Leonardo Da Vinci really create a remedy for the
common cold only to have it hidden from the world for 500 years? If
so, why and, where did he get all those chickens? L.K. Peterson is
the author of Fairly Grim Tales, Get the F**k Back to Work and The
2012 Doomsday Planner. Randy Jones's illustrations and cartoons
have appeared in the New York Times, Playboy and the National
Lampoon.
Don't just survive-go to war. Weapons and Warfare in the Zombie
Apocalypse offers a detailed examination of the weaponry and battle
tactics that will help you take the fight to the hordes of the
undead. Drawing on a background in the study of ancient and
pre-modern warfare, Dr. Alasdair offers the prospective
"zompocalypse" survivor a detailed study of the tools and
techniques that will make every denizen of the post-apocalypse what
they need to become-a warrior. Other zombie guides offer you
general information covering a wide range of topics. Where did
zombies come from? What causes them to reanimate? This volume is
unconcerned with those questions. The focus here is not what caused
them to rise, but instead how to destroy them and which tools will
help you do so. When the world ends, you must become a warrior. You
will have no other choice.
""Imagine if you will that Mel Brooks has written an erotic parody
of Romeo and Juliet and you'll pretty much have this book," Rina
Lee, 5-star review. "This is NOT your mother's Shakespeare version
of 'Romeo and Juliet' ... it's BETTER " Jackie, 5-star review. "I
wonder if Bill Shakespeare is turning over in his grave or laughing
- I think the latter," Bill, 5-star review." Eighteen-year-old
Juliet is betrothed to Paris, a rich and arrogant relative to
royalty with a mouth as dirty as his mind. Her only saving grace is
a collection of vibrators and other stimulating toys manufactured
by the mysterious R. Across town, Romeo, the mysterious sex-toy
scientist himself, is in love with the beautiful Rosaline who
treats him like crap. After an anonymous night of passion, Romeo
and Juliet learn they are from rival families. With the help of a
slutty best friend and a nurse with a secret sexual torture
chamber, will Romeo and Juliet finally find their happy ending?
Fifty Shades of Romeo and Juliet is an erotic parody that is
approximately 38,000 words and more than 100 paper pages long. M.A.
DeWitt has written more than 30 books in various genres.
At last, it's Fifty Shades of White. No complicated rules, no
outrageous cliches, no repetitive phrases. Just 50 pages of white
paper to do with as you please. Because there really only is ONE
shade of white - Unless you are an engaged woman looking for a
wedding dress, in which case there's white, ivory, pearl, bone,
lily, and off-white (which is actually, um...white). A great,
frivolous gift for the person who already has everything useful.
