Humorist and wordsmith extraordinaire Matthew Goldberg shares over two hundred and fifty fake words for others to learn and use as they attempt to heal themselves from "carpool tunnel syndrome, " battle strange hankerings for good old-fashioned "Talibanjo" music, and watch helplessly as their dogs conk out from "barkolepsy."Goldberg was unintentionally born into a family that has always used words creatively and he relies on his internal artistic fire to share both one-word and multiple-word entries, called wordapods. While introducing such words and phrases as "boredello, anthropomurphic, " and "hit-and-shun" accident, Goldberg includes definitions, sample sentences, ways to master the word, and trivia that will both entertain and inform. Goldberg interviews dozens of fascinating characters that help define the words including Vegestarian Mars Greenman, Pastafari Scholar Tosh Kingsmon, and baseball fan and original "boob bird" Clara Heatley.Meant for the creative word enthusiast, the budding "semantician, " and for anyone with a good sense of humor, "Wordapodia: Volume One" provides a unique compilation of new words, fun facts, and observations. So, hold your breath, grab on to your "caribooster seat, " and get ready for a wild ride through one man's imagination.
The real-life adventures of your average left-of-center, sports-crazed, technophobic, irreverent yet sentimental humor writer come to life within the pages of All That Twitters Is Not Goldberg. An almost fifty year-old (how the heck did that happen?) first-time father who tries to find meaning in everything from supermarket signs to presidential politics to the purgatory of being a Philly sports fan and weekend athlete, Matt strikes a blow for truth, justice and irreverence on his adventures, which include: Ensuring that a local supermarket provides Guest Services, as advertised Pondering the unlimited potential of selling ice cream to Eskimos Flushing In Flushing during a Chinese New Year's family dinner gone bad Consulting a fictitious psychologist about his sports addiction Preparing himself to author his first tweet Matthew J. Goldberg-author of the brand new Wordapodia, Volume One- is a uniquely dynamic writer and speaker noted for his irreverent, offbeat sense of humor. All That Twitters Is Not Goldberg is a compendium of his The Tip of the Goldberg columns. He resides in Cherry Hill, NJ with his wife Ruby, and son, Baby Ben-a beautiful boy who always makes the author smile and laugh with his sheer joy, kindness and playfulness.
