Anesthesia Peel meets Crispin BenGay, a filthy rich and incredibly hunkalicious entrepreneur, during an interview for her beauty-school newspaper. BenGay is mysteriously attracted to Ana, a social zero who's never even used email. He makes her his submissive, to have, to hold and to hurt. "Fifty Shades of BenGay" puts a whole new spin on the bestselling romance novel with a soft-porn filling. That ridiculous contract: "Hard limits: No acts involving clowns or mimes...".Laughable lovemaking: "His mouth finds mine, which isn't hard, considering how big my mouth is...".Ana's multiple personalities: "My inner goddess is picking her nose...".Those ludicrous emails. "Crispin: About our 'deal': thanks, but no thanks. P.S. Can I keep the laptop?" This book is intended for immature adults. It contains explicit scenes of a physically impossible nature.

While on her journey, when one thing after another goes wrong, wrong, wrong, Cynthia begins to ask, "Whoa God, how come you answered all of Elizabeth's prayers but you haven't answered any of mine?"

Obesity plagues America and stalks the rest of the world. Sex is in decline, drugs are on the rise and politics is in tatters, the perfect stew that explains our expanding girth. Here is a daring new explanation for obesity. Don't let the facts stand in the way of junk food science. Just grab some chips and start reading. 3 Faces of Obesity takes a light-hearted look at a heavyweight subject in bad need of some fresh attention. Praise for this edition: "Jansen has made a breakthrough in understanding this 3-sided coin. He shows a feeble grasp of biology and science, but faulty thinking does not stop him from reaching the right conclusions about what is behind obesity." - J. Pansen "This unknown author goes out on a limb and brings back a bird's nest of theories about addiction, nutrition, and psychology. Did "eat the weenie" really replace "hide the weenie"? Find out here. - P. Ansenjay Also from RedPagePress, "Vatican Museum Oddities" ... a humor laced critique of the unholy art collected by popes through the ages.
An author's mind is a terrible thing to waste as it bubbles with stuff that we are all capable of conjuring, but most are spared the amusement. During the last decade, this author has had a number of mind rushes come over the spillway and, in a fit of intellectual ineptitude, has decided to let it loose upon the unsuspecting public; thus, this collection of four entertainments designed to both edify and crack you up. From the author of No Irish Need Apply, The Jade Owl and Are You Still Submitting Your Work to a Traditional Publisher? comes - A Reader's Guide to Author's Jargon And Other Ravings from the Blogosphere: to wit - - Extempore Thoughts for the Day - Ask Miss Chatty - New Leaves in the Wind: 5 Essays from a Recovering Webaholic A Reader's Guide to Author's Jargon: a non-definitive guide to AuthorSpeak - an entertainment for readers to help them absorb the details of an author's craft. It's writing for readers, not writers. To wit - "A Pot-boiler: A formulaic book written for a surefire audience with the promise of a steady revenue stream. This does not mean that a potboiler is poorly written. It just means that their author depends on the income, knows where the paycheck is and writes it to reader's taste, in most cases severing the creative bond between art and commerce. The name derives from the poor starving artist who needs to pay the gas bill to keep the pot boiling. The expression usually applies to books, but the label can be applied to any art form that is driven by popular demand instead of creative integrity. It is possible to align the two. Usually, works of this nature are not enduring, because popular tastes change leaving whales beached." Extempore Thoughts for the Day: daily aphorisms, both deep and ethereal, affording the author a platform to spew out fortune cookie wisdom at the drop of the hat. Meant to make you ponder. Meant to make you laugh. To wit: "Books, like chapels or cathedrals, open their doors for reader meditation. Of course, authors still must pass the collection plate." "Variety is the breakfast of life. You waffle today; you pancake tomorrow." "The Roman Senate opposed dictators, but Caesar had his Gaul." "They say the world has seven wonders. I agree. They're called the days of the week." and 263 more Ask Miss Chatty: a unique advice column from the drag queen hostess of The Painted Lips Lounge. Need I say more? A laugh riot. New Leaves in the Wind: Five Essays from a Recovering Webaholic: a view of Corporate America and its romance with the World Wide Web, and how gazillions of $$$ have been wasted in the process. An insider's view. News at eleven To wit: "Mild mannered during the day, Business Dick works at implementing serious solutions in a database realm. He sits through hours of meetings, wanders through mountains of requirements and watches thousands of buckos spill over the black rim into the red. Alas, says Business Dick, there must be a better way to make the deadlines. Let me go to my local bookstore and buy a Book for Dummies. Soon, Business Dick transforms himself into Dick the Web Rogue." So, if you need to fire up those synapses for the brain and the Kindle, come jog in the jargon with me. Regret is not a four-letter word.

Between 1921 and 1999, Twentieth Century Spatchcock made over 20,000 films in their Hollinwood, Oldham studios. Most have been lost or destroyed - sometimes accidentally. Painstaking research by Dr Derek J Ripley has pieced together the synopses and cast details of dozens of films discovered on market stalls, in attics and in skips all over the country, forcing us to re-appraise the contribution of Alfred Spatchcock and DW Blunt to Britain's cinema heritage. "At last - the definitive appreciation of Spatchcock Anyone who has managed to get through "From Here To Maternity" or "Wendy Does Wigan" will want - and need - this book" Andy Kershaw "If you only read one book about Spatchcock, make sure it's this one" Norman Barrie "Spatchcock is up there with with Fellaini, Bertolli and Francis Ford Mondeo" Jonathan Rossendale With an Introduction by Dr CP Lee. Dr J Ripley's new book turns the spotlight on a film studio that has been long forgotten - some might say for good reason. With detailed synopses and cast details for more than 60 Spatchcock films from Mr Lilo's Holiday to Paint Your Drag On and over 160 lavish black and white illustrations, this is a must for anyone with an interest in film.

A Woman can ask a question and she is really asking something different, men know this and they get frustrated and answer in a way that makes them appear guilty and before they know it they face the Spanish Inquisition with a barrage of questions or comments. Men get sucked into the game and complain of Nagging If you have had the pleasure or being served a slice or two of 'Nag Pie' in your life, deserved or not, then you will relate to this collection of over fifty overused cliches, questions or comments.
Fifty Shelves of Grey - The DIY guide to passion Christina is trying to use the jargon of home DIY to speak the language of love. Dave, totally oblivious, just thinks he's finally found someone as passionate about nailing, screwing and the importance of using the right lubricant when you're working away on someone's back door. Fifty Shades of Blokes is a series for us guys who just don't get all the fuss about this Fifty Shades malarkey. When handyman, Dave Woode, does some weekend work for young entrepreneur, Christina Grey, he encounters a woman who is beautiful, brilliant, and desperate to try out a 'bit of rough'.

How many men are really as simple as Dave? What does it say about our sex lives when 'the real books' sell a million copies a week? N.B. This series is intended for immature audiences.

Herein lies an early draft of Shakespeare's 'MacBeth' recently discovered behind the wall of a public lavatory in London. In this draft (called 'That Scottish Play'), MacBeth disappears during a fishing excursion on Loch Ness after encountering a certain local monster. A poor look-alike tinker named Max is then duped into assuming the role of the true MacBeth and must carry off the deception in both King Duncan's court and at home as the husband to Lady MacBeth. While Max struggles to maintain his own identity, plotters and schemers manipulate him toward their own ends. So begins the most talked about comedy of the year. 'A veritable witches' brew of hilarious pandemonium.
Outrageously funny and provocative.' 'The author parodies The Bard with reverential irreverence using
every form of farce and satire, humor and wit imaginable. Viciously
delicious and sublimely ridiculous.' 'A looking glass adventure into a Pythonesque land of lunacy and
bedlam. Devastatingly absurd and wickedly witty.'
