Download or read book Shaggy Dogs and Black Sheep written by Albert Jack and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albert Jack's Shaggy Dogs and Black Sheep is a compulsively readable, highly enlightening look at the phrases we use all the time but rarely consider. The English language is crammed with colourful phrases and sayings that we use without thinking every day. It's only when we're asked who smart Alec or Holy Moly were, where feeling 'in the pink' or 'once in a blue moon' come from, or even what letting the cat out of the bag really means that we realize that there's far more to English than we might have thought. Luckily enough, we now have Albert Jack. And rather than resting on his laurels after the enormous success of Red Herrings and White Elephants, he has continued his search around the world, exploring the origins of hundreds more phrases. The fascinating stories he has uncovered come from the rich traditions of the navy, army and law to confidence tricksters and highwaymen, from the practices of ancient civilizations to Music Hall and pubs. Determined to chase each shaggy dog story to the bitter end, his discoveries are even stranger and more memorable this time round. From the skin of your teeth to the graveyard shift - you'll never speak (or even think) English in the same way again. Albert Jack has become something of a publishing phenomenon, clocking up hundreds of thousands of sales with his series of bestselling adventures tracing the fantastic stories behind everyday phrases (Red Herrings and White Elephants), the world's great mysteries (Loch Ness Monsters and Raining Frogs) nursery rhymes (Pop Goes the Weasel) pub names (The Old Dog and Duck and food history (What Caesar did for My Salad

Download or read book The Shaggy Dog Story Book written by Harvey Martin and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of classic stories was not compiled to be just another prizewinning book of humor. However, for the majority of individuals who get this book to read and enjoy as one of the funniest collections of groaners in existence today, it will be just that. You'll get the book, read it, get sick with laughter (even though you don't understand many of the stories), and then display it proudly in your bookcase along with the other "best sellers" you've collected over the years. About Harvey Martin I grew up in South St. Louis in an ethnic neighborhood just north of a German area know as "down by the Bevois Mill, where the street car makes da bend in da track, aint it yet" My greatest accomplishment was graduating from Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy in the early sixties. Actually, that was my second greatest accomplishment, with my wife, children and grandchildren being the most significant. After graduating as a metallurgist, I left St. Louis and its terrible accent to go and make steel in Gary, IN. My resume includes that of an engineer, an entrepreneur, a writer, a golfer, an inventor, a Shaggy Dog storyteller supreme and light hauling when I can get it. My greatest downside is procrastination, but I just could not decide where to state that fact. That attribute completely explains why it has taken over 25 years to complete this project.

Download or read book Collected Fables written by James Thurber and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "James Thurber was a comedic genius. His fables are not simply parodies of Aesop. They are wry, accurate, and powerful reflections of ourselves, our foibles, our follies, and, above all, our self-importance. And they are very, very funny." --Neil Gaiman James Thurber has been called “one of the world’s greatest humorists” by Alistair Cooke (TheAtlantic), and “one of our great American institutions” (Stanley Walker)—and few works reveal Thurber’s genius as powerfully as his fables. Perennially entertaining and astutely satirical, Thurber pinpricks the idiosyncrasies of life with verbal frivolity, hilarious insights, political shrewdness, and, of course, quirky, quotable morals. Now, readers can savor 85 fables by the twentieth century’s preeminent humorist collected for the first time in a single anthology. Here, Fables for Our Time, Further Fables for Our Time, and ten previously uncollected fables—illustrated by ten contemporary artists including Seymour Chwast, Mark Ulriksen, Laurie Rosenwald, and R. O. Blechman—are presented in Collected Fables, a must-have for readers of all ages.
