Lots of pomp and circumstance have gone on since Julius Caesar
first came, saw and conquered, but this doughty little book
heroically captures the true essence of this green and pleasant
land in just 106 episodes. This is the story of England, Scotland,
Ireland and Wales as it has never been told before: a
red-white-and-blue compilation of surreal news reports, spoof
correspondence and quirky cartoons. From the hooded druids of
Stonehenge to the hoodied chavs of the Bluewater Shopping Centre,
the nation's towering achievements and darkest hours are amusingly
recalled. This updated edition includes the British moments of the
past decade, including Bromance, Jezza and bake-offs.

This dad-centric satire looks like a real magazine (complete with
fake ads, subscription deals, and letters to the editor), but in
fact it's a hilarious and heartfelt satire of fatherhood in twenty
first-century America. With hard-hitting feature reporting (What's
Up with the Neighbor's Lawn? We Investigate), in-depth lifestyle
articles (Buying Shoes on eBay: A Guide), fashion tips (Rumpled
Brown Suit: Who Wore It Best), handy how-tos (A Visual Guide to
Packing the Car), and insightful opinion pieces (These Smoke
Detectors Are Too Damn Sensitive, If You Ask Me), this is the
perfect faux periodical for dads of every age, facial-hair style,
and sandals/socks combo. Photos, illustrations, and hilarious
advertisements throughout showcase all the frustrations, failures,
and funny moments that make up the face of modern fatherhood.
So you want to sleep with an alien?
You're a brave (read stupid) soul, but if you could film your
encounter and post it on your porno site and send us a link, we
would be eternally busy ... I mean grateful. You'd be providing
valuable sights ... insights that is, to science. And hey, you'll
be out enjoying the night life and zipping around in a saucer
(unless the aliens can't land because they're busy servicing your
needs).
Aliens have been sleeping with mankind throughout history.
If you don't believe me, watch the History Channel. However,
just because Cleopatra got the clap from some alien dude, doesn't
mean you shouldn't reap the rewards of the aliens' many millennia
spent studying and satisfying the human race.
But which aliens are the best in bed (or in the woods, or in the
saucer, or well, you know...)?
Everyone knows the Gray aliens are masters with power tools, but
how are the Nordics in the sack?
What should you never do if you're bent over for Bigfoot?
How do you attract a Mothman, and what do you do if more than
one of them arrives looking to hook up with you?
These are some of the most important questions in all of
history. Well, in all of today. Well, in all of the time you've
spent reading this description.
So if you want to hook up with some horny alien pervs, click the
buy button and read about how to turn on an Andromedan.
Don't miss out on your chance to make your missing time into
the best times of your life.

"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."
