With nothing left to give, Phatman and Picard give up. Not because they want to, but because they've been discarded by society. Fortunately, on their path past humanity, they find meaning...as it relates to the meaning of life. Granted, they forget it almost instantly, but that is beside the point. The point is: It's catastrophic the way these two imagine the world?
From the Poet behind "Sex, Lies, and Poetry" and "America: Land of the Buy One, Get One Free" comes a third collection of comic poetry! Connoisseurs will be disgusted, the author's parents and teachers will be ashamed, and you will be delighted by the short, irreverent literary glop this book contains. Inside, you will: -Learn why leprosy is a blessing -Probably be offended -Laugh until your spleen almost ruptures, but not quite, because we're considerate that way. So why wait? Buy the longest title yet from the World's Worst Professional Poet before someone wises up and quits producing this garbage!

At the airport, a reporter asked Donald Trump, 'Do you want to go to the nightclub?'Donald Trump is very smart and replied this question with another question: 'Is there any nightclub in Russia?'In the next morning, the headline of the newspaper is: "The first question of Donald Trump that he asked when he arrived Russia: 'Is there any nightclub in Russia?' "2.One Wish For Three PeopleOne day, three people went to the cliff and they met a genie!The genie grants each of them a wish, only if they jump down the cliff while making their wish.The sea is next to the cliff, so it is safe for them to jump down.The first man jumped down and shouted, 'Money!

The Fatal FoodOne day, a famous nutritionist gave a speech to a large audience in Chicago.

Anyone? The gentleman of the first row, please tell me your answer."The man bowed his head and replied, "A Wedding Cake."
"Under The Book" is not really under any book other than the letter 'T' itself, but as we understand words a little more and carry on into the English alphabet, it's just another book in an otherwise odd and somewhat unusual collection of books about the single letters in turn of the English language.

Leger's family are taking a trip to a tiny Scottish island and he is looking forward to spending the summer with Annabella, Hugh and Bob. But when he discovers he is to stay in Glasgow with Annabella's niece, Carole, while the rest of the family go on their trip he is outraged. Leger hears there has been a murder on the island and knows he has to somehow travel with them and assist in finding the killer. What he didn't count on was meeting a fellow cat sleuth on the island as well as a clowder of unfriendly gossips. The island way of life proves to be very different from Glasgow. Can he deal with culture shock as well as solve the crime? Can he and Lily, the beautiful calico detective work together to solve this case or will their egos prevent them from becoming friends?
This book is NOT a 'How-To' of tips and techniques nor is it a Social Media marketing guide - FAR FROM IT! Social Media Psychobabble exposes the amorphous world of Social Media, digging into the absurd, nonsensical psychobabble that the majority of this medium has become. It is written to reveal the mess, open dialogue and educate - It is a wake-up call to the powers that can do something to fix the problems! The book looks at the history of the WWW, the How-To genre, Social Media Tools, the Players and the massive diatribe of drivel and imbecilic, valueless marketing that now fills masses of server farms across the globe. It rips open the happy-flappy veneer of the narcissistic, over-exuberant Social Media snake-oil sales people and it exposes many for the charlatans they are, with their absurd claims of instant business success. It is by no means inclusive of all as the subject has grown to a Godzilla size problem. The book is full of examples showing how the on-line 'content-creation-runaway-train' is polluting the WWW (The Beast) with unmoderated, unmitigated garbage that is wreaking social and political havoc as it favours the stupid, the fake, the narcissists, the trolls, the bullies, the scammers, the terrorists and more. It shows how we stand by and allow The Beast to stupidly pollute our youngest most malleable, susceptible minds. If you are a parent, a teacher, a social worker and have young lives to protect and nurture you will want to know what is really going on in the belly of The Beast. If you are working in or touting Social Media and are perhaps a runaway-content-creator then this book is certainly NOT for you but you and your ilk are most probably in it ... Enjoy!
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 frequentlychildish - Irregular Fairy Tales are much more fun than atrip to the ball, and less expensive too, when you considerhow much interest Fairy Godmothers are charging thesedays.The Ithaca Times says..."The conversations between characters in these stories sometimes recall the deadpan absurdities of Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks (in 'The 2,000-Year-Old Man' and all of their movies.)"..."Teel is at his best when he integrates sound, alabeit only tangentially relevant, logic into these tales in a breezy, off-hand style."... "In 'Hansel and Gretel' (and several other stories) (Teel) wraps up his story in fashion that is...the opposite of the traditional ending, which can be gratifying to those who find cheerfully clever children to be really obnoxious." --The Ithaca Times

J'ai lu tous les dictionnaires. Aucun, de près ou de loin, n'est de l'étoffe - simili velours en skaï - du mien. Ceci ne m'a guère surpris. C'était donc la preuve qu'il y avait une grosse lacune dans l'univers feutré du savoir académique. Dès lors, il ne reste plus qu'à la combler en publiant mon dictionnaire. Evidemment, il est moins épais que certains mais, primo, il ne tire pas à la ligne, sauf près des rivières, et, secundo, sa vocation est tout autre: il est le dictionnaire indépassable, le dictionnaire définitif, Ze dictionnaire, Il dictionnaire, El dictionnaire, Das dictionnaire et ainsi de suite jusqu'à épuisement de l'ensemble des dialectes de cours de récréation.Ainsi, après cet ouvrage définitif, plus aucun autre ne pourra sérieusement se réclamer de la famille des dictionnaires. Et s'il le fait, je prédis qu'un ouragan de mygales mangeuses de hamburger de crapauds fidjiens s'abattra sur ses auteurs, sur ses lecteurs, sur ses éditeurs, sur les libraires qui le vendront et quelques centaines de milliers de malheureux innocents qui ne feront que passer par là, le mauvais jour au mauvais endroit.
If you are comfortable with off-the-wall dream-poems, scribbly diagrams suggesting meanings, several Maps to the Right Brain, and explorations into the depths of a man's soul, this book is for you. Apparently the author thought organization and planning expendable. It seems whatever drifted into the author's head was suitable for posterity. Who else would mix dream poetry, art, cartoons, weird essays, scribbly diagrams, and Maps to the Right Brain in one book? This "piece of art" is held together by lack of continuity. Read the neurotic efforts of a temporarily confused author, Doug Rucker, who, in addition, has come up with the puzzling title, CRANDALICUS? Good reading!
A divorced man continues his hilarious search for true love as he struggles to learn what women really want.

These are only five of the fifty shades of IKEA, printed on paper, flatpacked inside glossy cover stock, no assembly required. Just open and read. Fifty Shades of IKEA is a collection of fifty essays, stories or poems, each written in a different writing genre, none of which is "abusive relationship erotica."

It is training and energy for the brain. KaKuro is a logical numerical puzzle, the mathematical equivalent of a crossword puzzle. In the cells it is necessary to place the numbers from 1 to 9, there are inactive cells (marked in black). In cells with given numerical values, the upper right value indicates the sum of the digits in the row, and the value from the lower left position is equal to the sum of the digits of the column below the cell. For example, the number 6 can be represented as a sum of 2 and 4 or 1 and 5; the same numbers (3 and 3) are not allowed. Calcudoku - this is a mathematical and logical puzzle. It is necessary to fill the grid with numbers so that in each line and in each column they are not repeated. The number in the corner of each selected block is the result of an arithmetic operation on the digits in this block. The numbers inside the block can be repeated. All signs of mathematical signs are hidden. The puzzle can be called Square Wisdom, Kendoku. 50 Kakuro 8 x 8. 50 Kakuro 9 x 9. 50 Kakuro 14 x 14. 50 Kakuro 15 x 15. 100 calcudoku sudoku puzzle easy levels. 100 calcudoku sudoku puzzle medium levels. Only unique puzzles. + 250 sudokus difficult level that can be downloaded and printed. + 250 maze puzzles that can be downloaded and printed. 1 verified solution. All answers are at the end of the book. Exclusive puzzles. An excellent book for free time and mind exploration. I hope you enjoy the book. Best regards, Basford Holmes

If you were born from 1946 - 1964 you're a Boomer. Like it or not. When I turned 60 I realized what it has meant, to us and to the Grandkids. I'm still the same inside and I don't plan on changing. The things that have happened in our lives all this time are still as meaningful today as they were back then. So, what are we doing differently that really affects out points of view about the world as it is?Somehow, the older I get the more I do things the way I used to. We didn't forget, we're just out of practice. But, some things really bring it all back to life and nothing does it more than watching the grandkids growing up. It doesn't matter whose they are.That's when you get to see that light in us all, once again. Groomin' the little ones to be witty and wild. Shake it up, have fun, tell them what you used to do and how it use to be. They love it! Our kids tuned us out a long time ago but their kids really seem to get it.That's why I call ourselves, "Groomers". Condensing GR-andparent b-OOMERS to just GROOMER, or B2G.If you want to have a nice time thinking about it, then here is my offering. Take a little time for yourself and see how much you can remember about the simple good times we had. It's a fun read. There's two books available, they are the same, only with the titles reversed. It's all how you look at it. Choose the one you like best. "Sixty From The Sixties" or "Boomers To Groomers". You can view the book trailer on YouTube with the link below.http: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmDF-XUtVI0I hope you come away with the same good feeling that I had writing it.
