Download or read book Everybody Is Awful written by Jim Florentine and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rant-ish memoir by the veteran stand-up comedian and former cohost of That Metal Show, with a foreword by Jim Norton. Twitter Trolls. Facebook Freaks. Instagram Exhibitionists. These are just a few of the creatures our technology-obsessed culture has spawned in its quest to simplify our lives. The madness is so universal now that everyone has dealt with it. You log in to Facebook, read a stupid post, and immediately want to tell your "friend" to go have relations with himself. Sure, social media may keep us connected, but it is a breeding ground for idiots, and these idiots have crowd-sourced a storm of useless information, corny jokes, and douchebag drama that's wasting our time and screwing with our peace of mind. Thankfully, popular comedian and television host Jim Florentine has a solution for those of us on the verge of bashing our iPhones to bits. In Everybody Is Awful, Florentine attacks awful people and awful situations with the same biting satire and cringe-worthy humor that made him famous on television shows like Crank Yankers, Meet the Creeps, and That Metal Show. Along the way, Everybody Is Awful takes readers through the author's formative years, a time filled with rebellion and horrible behavior, to the crazy early days of his career as a stand-up comedian. Florentine also recounts how he developed an obsession with pranks that morphed into his uniquely vigilante style of comedy and made him one of the most legendary prank callers of all time. Florentine excels at channeling the core rage we all feel at the seemingly small annoyances of life, and his fans love the cathartic experience of his hilarious ranting and raving, a tradition continued in Everybody Is Awful. Acting as a de facto therapist, Florentine diagnoses awful behavior, shames awful people, and offers comedic takes on how to reclaim our lives from it all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I never met my great uncle. I really, only knew his name. His story begins for me with a box of letters and mementos saved by my great aunt. I always knew the box existed, but I had never opened it. My mother would often say, Oh, those letters are from Lowell during the war. They are so sad. Well, who would want to read anything that was sad? So, the story of Lowell Read and the true love that he had for my great aunt stayed packed away in a box for 65 years. My father and I came across the box during a spring cleaning frenzy and decided that it was time to read the letters and put them in some type of notebook to preserve them. Little did I know that I was about to become involved in the story of Lowell & Sue Reads life and unwavering love for each other. As I read each letter and placed them in order, I grew to know and admire both Lowell and Sue. There were other items in the box besides the letters. These items included a small Bible, a set of dog tags, a service medal, a shell bracelet, a small notebook, and numerous other articles. The letters shed light on all these other items and I realized that my great aunt had saved everything because of the special meaning that they held. Lowell ended almost every letter with the words, So, goodnight Dear and I do love you. I created this compilation to honor a man I never met and to preserve the memory of a love that never ended. I hope you enjoy reading his letters and getting to know him as much as I did.

Now a civilian on parole after a career-killing mistake, Xanadu Marx supposedly has three days to live, and the question isn’t whether she has an enemy gunning for her, it’s which one. But when two wide-eyed newlyweds may have become collateral damage, Xana realizes that there are some sins that can’t be forgiven.

Download or read book Goodnight Moron written by D. Thinskin and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-16 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HEALTH WARNING: This parody is not for those who may be afflicted with thin skin syndrome or are inclined to irrational bouts of political correctness.Donald J. Trump's scorched-earth candidacy and gravity-defying ascendancy to the most powerful position on the planet shocked and dismayed the civilized world, almost certainly as much as it did him. Now, with the utter incompetence of his staff exposed by multiple scandals and controversy for the festering slime they are, do we really expect him to do anything but wallow in the sludge of the swamp he promised to drain? Goodnight Moron delivers an unflinchingly hard-yet-satirical punch as we reflect back on the first hundred - some would say worst hundred - days of what could possibly be the last American President (or first American shlyukha). Riffing off of the beloved and often-parodied children's bedtime classic, Goodnight Moon, by Margaret Wise Brown, Goodnight Moron offers light reading and biting illustrations on a dark and heavy subject. But be warned, for after the chuckles are gone (hopefully sooner rather than later), the nightmares will likely haunt us for years to come. Highly recommended with a warm glass of milk and the strongest sedative legally available. The paperback also makes a great gag gift for that bleeding heart liberal or raving conservative in your life. And be sure to look for the next D Trumple Thinskin title, The Very Angry Caterwauler, currently on pre-order at a special discounted price.

A dark but humorous coming-of-age novel, Hammond offers a poetic and disturbing look inside the complex mind of an adolescent boy as he slowly learns that having the heart of a champion can sometimes be more burden than blessing. *Hammond is the first novel in a loosely-linked series with The Summer of Crud, Understanding the Alacrán, Developing Minds: An American Ghost Story, and The Soul City Salvation as books two-five. Each novel can be read independently of the others.
