From the middle ages onwards, the use of scatology in social
commentary has been a central feature of a certain type of
literature. From the giants Garguantua and Pantegruel of Rabelais
to the literary criticism of Smollet, DeFoe, Swift and many more,
the shock effect of a good dose of toilet humour has the potential
to shake up the sediments and confront the complacent. The
protagonist is Uncle Tommy MacTavish, an aging, chronically
constipated wannabe intellectual who lives on the fringes of his
Scottish Highland home. He is a Walter Mitty of the WC, seizing the
day in his own unique manner as he caustically reflects on the
follies and foibles of his fellow men and women. I warn you, this
book is not for those who are fainthearted or easily offended by
lavish descriptions of bowel movements and toilet troubles.
However, if you like such things, you are in for a rare and
recommended treat
It's closing time at the brewery. While the moon rises, the brewery
crew-including three little otters (in charge of the water), a wort
hog, and a hops wildebeest-introduce us to the brewing equipment,
ingredients, and styles of beer. Join this fanciful crew as they
close down for the evening and say goodnight to the brew kettle,
barley and yeast, hops and mash, saison, porter, IPA, and much
more. Befuddled about beer ingredients? Puzzled about the brew
process? Can't remember the difference between an ale and a lager?
Don't miss the brew infographics that follow the story! This
humorous parody of a children's literature classic is a "pitcher
book" for grown-ups. It's a besotted bedtime story for beer lovers
everywhere!
Never before have the secrets of the Sexual deviance department of
the Ministry of People's Security in North Korea been revealed. In
this glorious manual, you will learn how to identify sexual
deviants, North Korea style. Full of images carefully selected by
the finest scientists of DPRK to lure out the perversions of your
subjects, along with scientific instructions on usage.
In the run-up to Interpol's General Assembly, something is truly
amiss. The world's largest international police organisation is
heaving with internal strife, petty rivalries, and treachery. For
the Secretary General, re-election is not enough. What he wants is
a unanimous victory and he is willing to go to any lengths to
secure it. It will not be easy. Not only are others, both inside
and outside Interpol, trying to stop his re-election, but some hate
him so much that they are plotting his ultimate humiliation. His
enemies are legion; that much is clear. What is less clear is who
exactly is plotting against him, and which of his many, many
transgressions they want revenge for. As the date of the General
Assembly draws near, all parties redouble their efforts to get what
they want. The result is chaos. The result is farce. The result is
not Interpol's finest hour.
No descent self-respecting modern homo sapiens should miss getting
this Stone Age parody. This book rocks, or at least has its own
share of rocks in it. If nothing else, this book should turn a few
smiles right side up.: -{: -} My primal aim is to entertain. Step
back in time with me to a time where a cave is a home and where
dinosaurs roam. I had great fun writing it, and now it's ready for
you

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.
The entire best-selling spoof erotica trilogy is here in one book
Follow the filthy adventures of the animals down on Honey Farm from

original book." "Laugh out loud stuff," "Genius, so funny. I read
this and laughed so much my husband thought I was going to keel
over; hubby read the book after me and laughed equally as much as i
did."
