Download or read book Twits Nitwits and Misfits written by James O. Robinson and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real-life twits, nitwits, and misfits (TNMs) tend to annoy, antagonize, and alienate anyone with whom they associate. They can't help it. But the fictional oddball personalities featured in Twits, Nitwits, and Misfits - the book - could never inflict real-life trauma on anyone. So they're safe, and often even amusing, for the book's readers to hang out with page to page. TNM's behavioral patterns and habits often overlap and interlace. Even the author can't always distinguish twits from nitwits and misfits. That's because twits often behave like nitwits. Then, with minimal practice and some coaxing, they morph easily into lifelong societal misfits. The few average Joes depicted in this book are, of course, readily recognizable as welcome company. As an aside, the person who composed this book's foreword appears to be working at cross-purposes with the book's author. Although usually (ostensibly) written to tout a book's own merits, this foreword tends instead to tout and extensively catalogue it's own writer's talent, experience, and accomplishments. But, whatever the purpose, readers may believe this foreword could have been written by one of the fictional twits, nitwits, or misfits (or perhaps even one of the average Joes on a bad day) who populate the book itself. This book's 82 vignettes introduce a minihorde of dysfunctional or malfunctioning males and females. Desperation, turmoil, strife, conflict, despair, and instability - but thankfully, not yet pestilence - burden or perhaps even seem to overwhelm or traumatize their lives. Included among the book's dozens of fictional, difficult-to-cope-with characters are: Two sets of cross-dressing spouses... A 350-lb giant with chronic fatigue syndrome... Harry the Heister, who doubles as a panhandling pickpocket and a pickpocketing panhandler... Eddie Rostovitch and his very serious foot fetish... A horny goat-weed addict... The woman who wants to stuff her dead husband...

Download or read book Numerology for Nitwits written by Jil Balie and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-12 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating volume explains numerology. The author has studied hundreds of books on the subject and after finding more confusion than clarification, she has tried to set down the basics in a simple, easy-to-understand manner. Comparing the ancient Fadic system with other numerology systems, she checked names and birthdays for several years before concluding the Fadic system was the most accurate. You don't have to accept reincarnation to understand numerology, but it helps. Our numbers tell us what we came here to do, indicate what our karma is, and what we will have to contend with in arriving at our destiny. Instead of proceeding haphazardly through life, numerology maps out a course for us to follow. This book can be the start of a new life for you and your family.

Book excerpt: In a series of essays, Runyon, reflects on the frank, often outrageous opinions of his “old man,” who knows a thing or two about just about everything—and even if he doesn’t, he’ll tell you anyway. Damon Runyon's "old man" is neither a small-time Broadway crook, nor a modest Brooklyn Babbitt… He is a salty old commentator on men, women and manners, who says what he thinks with more force and frequency than tact. My Old Man is a classic collection of humorous observations about life from bankers to windbags, and its as relevant and funny today as it was when it was first published in 1939.

Download or read book Trapped in a Happy Life written by Michael F. Duffy and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trapped in a Happy Life by Michael F. Duffy In his memoirs, Trapped in a Happy Life, Michael F. Duffy reflects fondly and funnily upon his formative years in Philadelphia. Between the dangerous games played in the streets of his neighborhood to the terror he endured at the hands of nuns in school – it’s a wonder that he survived to tell any of these tales, but we’re glad he did. As he moves into adulthood, Duffy tells heartwarming tales of “My Beloved Wife” (abbreviated MBW for time’s sake), and skewers everyone from Donald Trump to overenthusiastic clappers at concerts. But even his most barbed remarks are tinged with an endearing humor that keeps the reader hooked.

Download or read book Judgment at Twenty Mile Bend written by Stephen R. Koons and published by Atlantic Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Shook is a young felony prosecutor in Palm Beach County in the late 1970s who thinks he understands what justice is all about. He confidently, if not arrogantly, charges through life mowing down drug dealers, thieves, thugs, and other assorted malefactors and miscreants, thinking that he is the answer to the problem people in our society. Young Jack has an idyllic life, finding time to enjoy all the great benefits that young professionals experience, including an active social and recreational life. Along the way, it appears that he is perfectly suited to his position, when in reality, he is deeply conflicted by his deep-seated opposition to the death penalty and his dislike of guns. This conflict exists even though it's his job to pursue the death penalty, and he is surrounded by friends and associates in the law enforcement community, which include a law-and-order judge and a popular chief of police. After much success in the courtroom, Shook is assigned the prosecution of a grisly murder case that he cannot lose (appearing to be an obviously guilty verdict) only to be faced with the biggest surprise he has ever seen in a courtroom. Shook is confronted with people that will stop at nothing to get what they want, including his complete destruction. Through a series of events and reversals, Shook discovers that one often has little control over how justice is finally meted out — and to whom and by whom. Will young Jack survive this great crisis in his life? Will he literally survive certain death? Read on and find the answer to these and other more vexing questions we all face in life.

Download or read book Reinbou written by Pedro Cabiya and published by Astra Publishing House. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Time of the Butterflies meets Woman of Light in this propulsive work of historical fiction about U.S. intervention and corruption in the Dominican Republic. The basis of the 2017 film adaptation by Andrés Curbelo and David Maler. In 1976 Santo Domingo, Ángel Maceta uncovers the real story behind the murder of his father, Puro Maceta, ten years prior. In the process, events that unfolded during and after the war are revealed, unleashing a series of small revolutions in his community that in turn unravel other intrigues of what really took place during the Civil War of 1965. Weaving together the brutal realities of war with the innocence of childhood imagination, Reinbou explores this era in Dominican society, a time when the U.S. sent Marines into the country to back a coup against Juan Bosch, the first democratically elected president of the Dominican Republic since the end of the brutal, three-decade-long dictatorship of the genocidal Rafael Trujillo. Moving between 1965 and 1976, we follow the revolutionary efforts of Puro and the transformative, feverish adventures of Ángel. Told through the eyes of a child and a varied cast of friends, family, and neighbors, Reinbou explores the consequences of political and societal upheaval, corruption, and violence in modern Dominican society.

Download or read book The English Noun Phrase written by Evelien Keizer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-08-09 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English has an interesting variety of noun phrases, which differ greatly in structure. Examples are 'binominal' (two-noun) phrases ('a beast of a party'); possessive constructions ('the author's opinion'); and discontinuous noun phrases ('the review [came out yesterday] of his book'). How are these different noun phrases structured? How do we produce and understand them? These questions are central to this study, which explores the interaction between the form of noun phrases, their meaning, and their use. It shows how, despite the need in linguistic analysis for strict categories, many linguistic constructions in fact defy straightforward classification - and concludes that in order to fully explain the internal structure of utterances, we must first consider the communicative, pragmatic and cognitive factors that come into play. Drawing on a range of authentic examples, this book sheds light not only on the noun phrase itself but also the nature of linguistic classification.

Download or read book Speaking of Animals written by Robert Palmatier and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1995-04-30 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other nonhuman source has served as the basis for more metaphors than animals. Speaking of Animals is a dictionary of animal metaphors that are current in American English. It is comprehensive, historical, and metaphor-based. Each entry refers to the other dictionaries that catalog that same metaphor, and the dates of first appearance in writing are supplied, where possible, for both the metaphor and the name of the source. The main text is organized alphabetically by metaphor rather than by animal or animal behavior; all the metaphors are classified according to their animal source in a list at the end of the book. An animal metaphor is a word, phrase, or sentence that expresses a resemblance or similarity between someone or something and a particular animal or animal class. True metaphors are single words, such as the noun tiger, the verb hog, and the adjective chicken. Phrasal metaphors combine true metaphors with other words, such as blind tiger, hog the road, and chicken colonel. Other animal metaphors take the form of similes, such as like rats leaving a sinking ship and prickly as a hedgehog. Still others take the form of proverbs, such as Don't count your chickens before they hatch and Let sleeping dogs lie. The horse is the animal most frequently referred to in metaphors, followed closely by the dog. The Bible is the most prolific literary source of animal metaphors, followed closely by Shakespeare.
