Willy Loman, Nosferatu - Biffo, the Vampyre Slayer (Paperback): Edward Morneau Willy Loman, Nosferatu - Biffo, the Vampyre Slayer (Paperback)
Edward Morneau
R381 Discovery Miles 3 810 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"Willy Loman, Nosferatu (or Biffo, the Vampyre Slayer)" is a parody of two of the most beloved American stage classics, Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" and Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie." It turns out that the "Loman Line" is not Miller's lacerating examination of the selling of the American dream and his sympathy for the soul of the everyman, but a line of the Undead (Nosferatu) that have left a ruinous legacy of lunacy and calamity behind them. Willy Loman finds himself brought back to life and seeks revenge, while his two sons somehow become involved with the Wingfield family from "A Glass Menagerie," who have all found themselves reunited in Queens fifteen years after Willy's "first death." Wally of WPDP3 says, "Read the first two and cry; read the third and wonder why."

Sure, you know about chicken soup, but do you know about a souped-up chicken? Jonathan Segal Chicken was just another piece of kosher poultry, but he decided he wanted something more. He wanted to fly, and fly he did, on adventures that take him out into the world... and beyond. This classic parody from the 1970s is now available again in this newly redesigned edition.

Bertrand Wong
R403 Discovery Miles 4 030 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This laughable book of humour is the handiwork of a strange clown of startling brain cells which seem to have a funneeeeee life of their own, a funneeeeee guy who is apparently gifted with grey matter - grey hair, grey shirt, grey pants, grey socks and possibly grey underpants (unable to see the colour of his underpants), claiming grey to be his lucky colour. This fellow had also tried to be what he is not, i.e. acted, a cartoonist, and had drawn the funneeeeee sketches for this book with his trembling right hand as though he had seen a ghost. He also became one of his own cartoon characters under his shaky penmanship. The funneeeeee, cute author had wanted to be a comedian, an actor who makes people laugh, but was unable to realise this ambition. Now, he will "act" in this book and make people laugh. This book will definitely make everyone laugh. If the humour is good everyone will laugh at the humour. If the humour is bad everyone will laugh at the author, who we understand will blush. In any case, everyone will laugh. Reading this funneeeeee book should be the easiest and most fun way to strengthen and expand the grey matter. This book attempts to make fun of everything. Even the author himself is not spared. This book ambitiously aims at presenting serious ideas on many aspects of life, e.g., philosophy, politics, and science, etc., to readers in a non-serious, yet stimulating, style. It also aims at creating fun and bringing sunshine into the dull, humdrum lives of readers. It should relax our dear readers, improve our dear readers' moods and help sharpen our dear readers' minds, fortifying their mental fitness for meeting whatever challenges that lie ahead of them in the process. Importantly, as the title of this book implies, those who possess a copy of this book prove that they have grey matter - this is no joke. Furthermore, as the book is greyish, possessing a copy of the book is possessing grey matter. Ha Ha Ha Ha Those who do not possess the book do not possess this grey matter. Hee Hee Hee Hee Prove you have grey matter Get this grey book Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha This book also includes a humourous introduction by a successful businessman offering important views on business and management. The book has been given several rounds of publicity by the press.

Two Plays - The Marx Brothers Meet Shakespeare (Paperback): Vincent P. Lewis Two Plays - The Marx Brothers Meet Shakespeare (Paperback)
Vincent P. Lewis
R295 Discovery Miles 2 950 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

THE MARX BROTHERS IN WELL, ALL ENDS IN A COMEDY, BY ERROR The Marx Brothers did more than make movies, as they also appeared in live plays. This one, from 1937, is a hilarious spoof of "A Mid-Summer's Night Dream," among others of Shakespeare's works. Groucho is Tylenol, the King of the Fairies, while Chico is Aleve, a rustic shepherd. They meet in the enchanted forest of reversals, where the opposite of what is intended usually occurs. So they each decide to pursue the ladylove of the other, from whom they receive lessons on how to win a female heart. You can imagine the results no, trust me, actually you cannot. As you no longer can see the live play, you will have to read this to see what happens. This is a necessary addition to the collection of any Marx Brothers fan. GROUCHO AND JULIET A play starring Groucho Marx as Romeo; Chico and Harpo as Juliet's parents; and Colombo the Medieval police detective who investigates. Then add "The Dating Game, Italy 1340AD.

Irregular Fairy Tales (Paperback): Scott Teel Irregular Fairy Tales (Paperback)
Scott Teel
R289 Discovery Miles 2 890 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

What makes a fairy tale Irregular? Hansel & Gretel's parents refusing to allow the kids to be adopted by fairies because they disapprove of the fairy lifestyle. Rumplestiltskin teaching a young woman to keep her promises. A prince for Rapunzel who never mastered rope climbing in gym class. Tom Thumb's mother refusing to allow him to date the one girl his size because she's Protestant. Not fairy tales for children - although frequently childish - Irregular Fairy Tales are much more fun than a trip to the ball, and less expensive too, when you consider how much interest Fairy Godmothers are charging these days.

R370 Discovery Miles 3 700 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Volume One of Grin Tails* For Children Whatever Age is the first in a series of books that adults and children will enjoy. In it, some of the classic children's stories are redone with an upbeat humorous twist. The new titles give us a clue, for example: Big Red Riding Hood, Ginger Ella, and The Three Little Chickens. Grin Tails* is not as much a laugh-out-loud book, as it is a chuckle and grin book. Even the title with it's spelling ("tails" instead of "tales") alerts us to the fact that something is a bit different here. Reminiscent of the old roadrunner and coyote cartoons with a kind of Far Side slant, this book should provide an enjoyable break for young and old. Thus, you and that kid on your lap should find Roy Rummler's latest creation a trip that brings an extra smile to your faces.

Zombies Love Pizza - Random Funny Thoughts from Dan of the Day (Paperback): Dan Florence Zombies Love Pizza - Random Funny Thoughts from Dan of the Day (Paperback)
Dan Florence
R303 Discovery Miles 3 030 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

A warped sense of humor isn't required to appreciate Dan's amusingly unconventional brand of comedy, but it certainly helps. If Yogi Berra, Steve Martin and Douglas Adams had a baby together, the result might be something like this book. Our understanding of human biology would certainly be changed, at any rate. This compilation of random funny thoughts is simultaneously dark and naive; both off-the-wall and relatable; paradoxically smart and stupid. Peek into the mind of Dan of the Day and laugh at the dearth of its contents.

Nick Whittier has made a lot of mistakes over his nearly seven centuries of existence. He has always tried to be a good person, or at least as good as a vampire who has murdered over 30,000 people can be. He learned about his most monumental screw up after Chuck Kruse's stunning revelation at the end of book two. Because of Nick's actions during World War Two, the Nazis have reemerged in the modern era. The most evil vampire who has ever lived is rallying neo-Nazis all over the world as part of a plan for global domination. Nick knows that it is up to him to intervene and end the Nazi threat once and for all. Laura Collins, a sexy Israeli secret agent, shows up out of the blue to offer Nick assistance. The mysterious woman appears to be a powerful ally, but she also has a dark secret. The first stop on their global journey is to recruit Nick's friends from Starside, Illinois to join the fight. Jasmine, Anthony and Lara are essential to the mission, but they also complicate Nick's life. He is still in love with Lara even though she hates him for being a monster. Despite the hardships that he faces, Nick is hopeful that he might be able to change her mind about him. He now has the opportunity to end his thirst for human blood. After centuries of research, he has finally perfected the cure for the vampire virus. Dark Moonlighting 3: Live Free or Dark Moonlighting Hard is the third book in the humorous Dark Moonlighting series. While the previous books have highlighted Nick's careers as a doctor, lawyer, cop and soldier, book three tells of his job as a secret agent. It explores spy cliches and pokes fun at popular movies like The Bourne Identity, Jurassic Park and the James Bond films. It also satirizes political stories like The West Wing and Air Force One."
