  • - Adventures in Law Enforcement
    av J B King
    179,-

    Pimps, drunks, and craziness? Just another day on the job for a cop in Pulaski County, Missouri, during the 70's and 80's. JB King tells some of the crazy, but true stories of his life as Missouri State Highway Patrolman in rural Pulaski County. The 70's and 80's were a unique time in this small corner of the Midwest where houses of ill-repute dotted the landscape, soldiers led the great AWOL chase, and it seemed as if every nutty thing that could happen in law enforcement happened on a nightly basis. Tales from the Blue is a collection of true stories about the crazy world that was Pulaski County during that time. There are tales of how underwear and a drunk saved a life, what happens when you mix alcohol and firearms, fishing with a tow truck and what happens when the messiah has too much to drink.

  • - Inside the Head of a 21st Century Dad
    av Randall S Fong M D
    165,-

    This humorous parody of a self-help manual was meant to offer useful advice on parenting, though from the not-so-bright mind of a contemporary father. Instead, a look into the inner workings of the rather strange and bizarre male mind is revealed, explaining the mystery behind some of the unusual behaviors seen in the dad of the 21st century. As a father and an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor who sees many children in his practice, Dr. Fong provides "lessons" on parenting through his personal experiences, such as: -To avoid spousal reprisals, never criticize your wife when she disciplines the kids. It is best to leave well enough alone, crack open a beer, and watch a mindless sporting event on T.V. This is an example of a "win-win" situation. -When having the "Sex Talk" with your kids, always ask first what they already know. You may be surprised--they may know more than you! This could be a great education for Dad! -When toilet-training a child, always be encouraging. So the next time your child pulls you to the toilet to marvel at his unusually large creation, say something positive like, "Wow, I can't believe you made that all by yourself! Let's save it for Mom!" Obviously, some of these "lessons" are unconventional, but they do resonate with the thinking of many of today's fathers. Although written from the male point of view (and with the male weakness of being wrong most of the time), this book gives a fresh perspective into the relationship between father and offspring, and enlightens others into the foibles of the male mind when it comes to raising kids. In essence, this book reminds us that children do teach us about the simple joys of life that we often neglect to appreciate; and by seeing the world through their eyes, we can recapture that sense of possibility and magic that we lost along the way to adulthood.

  • - Volume I
    av Paula Walborsky
    239,-

    This is not a novel. It is a collection of very short essays and memories. A novel is a commitment of time and patience. Like a marriage. These are more like going steady with a good friend with a short attention span. Think of it as pointillist writing. A collection such as this is valuable when waiting in line at the DMV, while waiting for your mani/pedi to dry, while waiting period. For anything. The doctor, the dentist. Godot. For that watched pot that is never going to boil. These essays are not even published in chronological order. They are published in alphabetical order. They are a crazy quilt of wit and heartbreak written by an old woman who is rather a crazy quilt herself. Her name is Paula Walborsky.

    Primera parte de la bilogía Celestial. Soy Morgan Freeman y acabo de sufrir mi primera crisis existencial. Y no por lo que estás pensando; no, qué va, pues los efectos colaterales de tener un padre tan cinéfilo que se quedó más ancho que largo al bautizarme con el mismo nombre que el oscarizado actor lo tengo más que superado. Ha sido porque mi novio, Jeff Martin, el mismo desde cuando ambos íbamos en pañales, acaba de romper nuestro compromiso de matrimonio al darse cuenta de que... ¡Tachán! ¡¡Está enamoradísimo de nuestro amigo en común, Aiden Clark!! Verás, mi estampa ahora mismo da pena. Estoy sentada en el suelo del cuarto de baño, propinando cabezazos con la frente a la tapa del bidé, en ropa interior y llorando a moco tendido, autocompadeciéndome, mientras me debato entre si debería contratar los servicios de un sicario o largarme de Connecticut durante un laaaaaaaargo período de tiempo (quizás... ¿trillones de años serían suficientes?). Cuando me seco las lágrimas, miro con apatía el mapamundi que he desplegado entre mis piernas, pues va a ser el responsable de decidir, a partir de ahora, mi destino. Cierro los ojos, inspiro hondo y dejo caer mi dedo sobre el papel arrugado. Despego un párpado, luego el otro, temerosa, antes de descubrir el nombre que se esconde bajo mi yema: Alaska.Déjate seducir por la SAGA LOCA SEDUCCIÓN, BILOGÍA "UN MILLÓN DE ESTRELLAS", BROOKLYN, VALENTINE, TENTACIÓN y CHRISTMAS'S TALES con más de 70.000 ejemplares vendidos en las distintas plataformas digitales.

  • - Social-historical-humorous essay on the French people
    av Gaspard Chevallier
    189,-

    There is so much to write about the French. Because they invented cinemas, bicycles, cars, photography, radioactivity, but also the bra, the croque-monsieur, the garbage can, and dentures.Because the French express themselves in a language qualified as one of the sexiest, albeit with sounds so often considered animalistic: coucou, quoi, oui....Because in France, we intrinsically like to rebel against everything: system, government, our employer, and we go so far as to go on strike preventively against a law that does not yet exist.A country where artists transform urinals into works of art, build a glass pyramid in front of a century-old building, or split the sky of their capital with a steel tower.A country seen as the country of love and where the words "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ?" are the most pronounced by foreigners.I'll take you on a virtual excursion to France in order to verify the veracity of its many clichés and stereotypes.I offer you a global reflection on the French lifestyle, which is so singular, atypical, and surprising.I will transport you into the heart of an expatriated Gallic who makes fun of his country as much as he loves it.Bon voyage to France!

    "A laugh on every page, Christina Oxenberg is one of the most lethal wits of the western world." -- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "Oxenberg's musings on local culture suggests a style that hints of Tom Wolfe, but with the detached wry and dry observation of Joan Didion, tossed with more than a splash of charming, classy, self deprecating amusing neurotica that is all her own." -- Dale Launer "My Cousin Vinny", "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" "Christina Oxenberg is not only the hottest but also the edgiest writer to emerge this year. Don't miss the thrill of reading her new book." --Edward J. Epstein "The Hollywood Economist: The Hidden Financial Reality Behind the Movies" "Oxenberg has always scandalized polite society- she is, after all, the daughter of a royal princess- and has chosen to live in the manner of her writing: outrageously, ironically, comically at times, but fearlessly brave and above all true and fresh." -- Taki Theodoracopulos "Do These Gloves Make My Ass Look Fat?" is Christina Oxenberg's third book assembling essays and articles on various situations such as accidentally going on a date with Steve Martin, living in the shadow of her older famous sister who starred in "Dynasty", going on a bike ride with Dan Aykroyd, venturing into a bondage and S&M Club, loosing her childhood best friend, and creating her own fashion wool line. It's been thirteen years since the release of her last novel "Royal Blue" and Oxenberg's ready for a brilliant comeback with her new collection of articles and essays featuring work published in "The London Sunday Times Magazine", "Allure Magazine", "Penthouse Magazine", "Tatler Magazine", "Salon.com" and more.

  • - An Odd Continuation of My Memoirs
    av Glenn Peter Young
    285,-

    Showing Up & Getting Noticed is intended to be a kind of "odd follow-up" to my previously memoirs, Chasing Revolution: Tales of an Itinerant American Radical.. It should be stated, the first memoir covers many of the events in my life till about the age of thirty-three or so, in a design that is considered a standard memoir approach. This work presents a series of tales/experiences that occurred in the years following the ending of the first memoir, continuing my story, for the next thirty years, trying to avoid that standard linear format. In other words, this work is a memoir, but "by other means;" This work tells of my interactions with some famous and some not so famous people, and people who are not so famous, but I think they should be. The stories include my "odd interactions" the likes of Presidents Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin, and even the Pope, and the president of Mongolia. They include tales about me and one Miss America, a woman who was once part of an underground terrorist group, and another woman I helped to become very famous. They also include a story about me meeting two peasants who separately discovered two of the world's most famous archeology sites, and several off encounters of "less famous" people.. These stories cover the odd changes that led me from being the illiterate "street radical" discussed in the first volume, to be a vender at sporting events, a development officer for non-profits, to eventually going to collage at age 38, and then being a leading spokesperson for a disability population, and a national expert for the US Government. But much of these jobs and transitions are background noise, or only discussed in getting to the point of one of the stories. Too much detail would make this too standard of a memoir. Therefore, this work uses perhaps the most ancient way of telling personal or global history, that of a "good story." In my opinion, all the tales in this new volume can be stand-alone stories that can be enjoyed, with no need to have read or even skimmed the previous publication. The criteria for including any one of these stories is that they are both, in their nature, "odd events" and "good stories." To be clear, some of these odd events had lasting impacts on me, while others had almost absolutely no impact or just a transitory one. But regardless of impacts, each of these tales does meet the main criteria for inclusion as both an odd and good story. The common thread of this series of tales is that each of these stories in some way represents broad events that occurred in my life and were only made possible based on the many transitions that occurred over the time since the end of my last memoir. In one way or another, many of my transitions were and are quite common to people of almost any modern age; Over the years covered I was trying to have a family, getting increasingly better jobs, with far more stress; and also trying hard to maintain some sense of one's youthful self. Tales of these types of transitions seem to me to be too common of an event for most people and are mostly not discussed that much. The more common events are mentioned only as background material for a given odd tale. This can also be said concerning historical events involved, even though many of these stories involve people who were or became famous as either main or minor characters, it is not their fame that is key but only how I interacted with them in one of my tales that is mostly included. I do not mean to overinflate myself by that statement, since in fact only a few of these events had less than a blip on world history. Truly, many of these types of experiences I have had are left out. In addition, even though they meet my criteria, I have let out extensive numbers of other great tales, simply because of space and they don't really reflect one of my major transitions. I hope you enjoy those that are included.
