But wait, there's still more shame to be shared. Still, None of This Is Going According to Plan is the second installment in the series of books by Brandee Stilwell. In this volume, she tells more unfortunate, true, cringe-worthy, hilarious stories of predicaments only Brandee can find herself in.For fans of Sarah Silverman, Mindy Kaling, and Tina Fey - Still, None of This Is Going According to Plan has 32 more stand-alone chapters (the perfect toilet reader) of insane short stories that are truly and uniquely Brandee.From tales of growing up in Kansas, where she accidently set a pasture on fire, to being forced to lie about being in the witness protection program just to avoid being in a group photo, to pretending to summon a demon on a parking lot Karen, to accidently setting her hair on fire while giving a lit good luck candle a pep talk, and sadly, many, many, many more stories along these lines.
"You are NOT funny!" she claimed, falsely.Nuns with Shotguns, Vol II of THE WORLD IS MY ASHTRAY, picks up where Pepperoni, Jalapeños & LSD left off. Paul and Lonnie disappear into a Rocky Mountain ghost town to decompress from a manic year in Boulder, Colorado. The town of Eldora is spectacular, serene, virtually uninhabited. Perhaps a hundred hermits are scattered throughout the mountain valley, cleaning their guns and guarding their bongs. Now twenty years old and even more determined to write his way to financial freedom, Paul hunkers down at his typewriter in his new, idyllic setting and begins banging out his first novel, helped/hindered by his numerous vices. "The liquid acid I'd taken to celebrate having liquid acid rolled clean and strong..." Full of Budweiser, hallucinogens, and a young man's lust, Paul cannot resist the temptation of the larger, manic world. Before long, he's relentlessly chasing new women, blasting through the mountains on his motorcycle, and tripping acid on the mountain peaks surrounding the Eldora valley. Wedding weirdness, stunning sunsets, puppy poop, brutal loss, hard drugs, continuous betrayal, and strange mountain saloons punctuate this continuation of P. H. Mountain's whirlwind comedic memoir. Set against the backdrop of the final decade before the tech revolution, Nuns with Shotguns is a full embrace of reckless living, an unapologetic testament to the stunning beauty of attacking life with the throttle open and arms spread wide. "I knew I had to die, dammit, but since I had to die, I decided there could be no better moment to do so, and the intense awareness of perfect death made me suddenly fall madly in love with life. The moon, the night, the cold sting of mountain air, a madman at the wheel, his wailing scream penetrating nature's wildly illuminated darkness. Damn. It was worth it, enduring all this long life, all the hidden terrors just over the horizon, the heartache and heartbreak, the hard work and easily achieved misery, if only for ten minutes as such."
Tive o grande privilégio de acompanhar as realizações de um amigo de infância, Harm Wiersma, e nos reencontramos mais tarde na Espanha. Ele foi campeão mundial por seis vezes e é o exemplo perfeito do que se pode alcançar com as habilidades do jogo de damas no mundo dos negócios, na política, no mundo acadêmico e em nossa carreira social. Nesse sentido, ele está em um nível mais elevado do que Ton Sijbrands, que apenas se dedica ao jogo. Wiersma, por outro lado, não era apenas jogador, mas também empresário e até membro do parlamento em Haia por um partido político. Nas conversas que tive com ele, a palavra "determinação" sempre surgia.Vou tentar retratar as habilidades que são aprimoradas no jogo de damas, e são muitas. Ambos fomos capazes de aplicar essas habilidades em nossas carreiras sociais. Ao abordar essas habilidades, o nome de Wiersma surge muitas vezes. Espero que esta primeira parte sirva como estímulo para os jovens jogadores de damas e xadrez.

Did you know that in 1520, at the age of 29, the English king Henry VIII challenged his French counterpart, King Francis I of France, to a wrestling match? Even more bizarrely, the entire affair took place at a lavish diplomatic conference in the middle of a field in Calais-with the English king eventually being outplayed and beaten by his French rival. (Happily, despite his notoriously fierce temper, Henry so admired King Francis that he took the defeat on the chin, and the pair steadfastly remained good friends!) Speaking of bizarre royal tales, did you know that another French king was so convinced that his internal organs were made of glass that he would sit for hours at a time on his throne, refusing to move a single muscle? And did you know that more than 100 different men once came forward claiming to be the long-lost son of Marie Antoinette, and therefore a claimant of the throne of France? And speaking of hoaxes and deceptions, have you heard the one about the architectural magazine that invented a town in Massachusetts just so it could use up all the unused photographs in its archive? Or how about the story of the two high-society women in Georgian London who so violently fell out with one another that they ended up dueling in their petticoats in the middle of Hyde Park more than 200 years ago?

I probably watch too much news, read too many newspapers, magazines, and blogs, and have too many conversations with people about politics. Often in my mind, I consider myself better than politicians. I may be better than some but not all of them. What I notice is that I make similar mistakes to those in charge. Because of this, I'm willing to say I'm not perfect. And I have the experiences to prove it. Join me in a journey to tell people why I should not run for public office, nor should I receive any write-in votes in the next election. If you do opt for writing my name in on your ballot and are uncertain how, ask for assistance from the helpful people at your voting location and write in my full name, James E. Collins. You may not change an election, but maybe it will change your outlook, knowing that you can vote for whom you want to, not someone you are being told to vote for. As an afterthought, please don't tell me about ending a sentence with a preposition. I tend to do that.

Laughter keeps us sane-which is the first reason to laugh at the lunacies of living. Among the many other reasons are:Competent Computer Help: Technical Support: "And what is your problem?" Me: "My computer will not boot up when I turn it on." Technical Support: "So? Don't turn it on."Witty Husbands: We passed a billboard that advertised a package of Winston cigarettes with the slogan: "Finally, A Butt You Can Kiss." Doug said thoughtfully, "If I were the Cancer Society, I would rent the other side of that billboard and put up a sign that said, "Smoke These, And You Can Kiss Your Butt Goodbye."Roommates Who Won't Take Along Provisions: My roommate refused to take along a box meal because a box meal wasn't "cool." Now . . . we were headed into the Rockies, which are reasonably well known as a vast wilderness where people have perished for lack of food or stayed alive only by eating each other.Motels: We cruised slowly past the other two-the shabby, single-story, strip kind where you park your car directly in front of your room's door, either to keep a suspicious eye on it or for a quick getaway when the cops show up. The first motel was an ancient, grungy building, particularly uninviting, and the second, even grubbier, had assembled four rough-hewn guys in the parking lot with the promising look of those who would wake us up at two a.m. to the sounds of them breaking beer bottles over each other's heads. Also: Deranged neighbors, sadistic physical education teachers, oblivious military officers, children who have seen way too much, bad dates, friendly bikers, backwoods roadside assistance, camping, sailors and seasickness, and dogs with overflowing bladders.

The Western literary tradition begins with ancient Greek and Roman epics, winds its way through Milton, Shakespeare, and Dickens, and to where we find it today, a rich and beautiful catalog of the human experience. But to read all of that is just so much, well, reading, and who has the time or the energy? Lance Hansen does, and he's successfully combined an encyclopedic knowledge of literature with pithy criticism, the skills of a poet, and the artistic eye of a cartoonist to create Limerature 101: Literary Classics in Five Lines or Less (With Pictures). Presenting more than 60 of the great works of literature, summarized and satirized as jaunty, hilarious limericks, and with accompanying illustrations of their legendary creators.Presented as the text of a full-year university-level literature course, Limerature 101 takes readers on an informative but savagely humorous journey through the history of literature. The well-read and literarily curious will devour Hansen's takes on "Ancient and Influential Voices" (The Epic of Gilgamesh, Pride and Prejudice), "Titans of Global Literature" (The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Unbearable Lightness of Being), "American Revolutionaries" (The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Catch-22), and "Modernists and Populists" (The Crying of Lot 49, Gone Girl). And each limerick is accompanied with an original, hand-drawn portrait by the author.ADVANCED PRAISE"A clever and funny read. Lance Hansen is a treasure!" --Noah Van Scriver"This book is smart, clever and funny - all the things I am not. I hate Lance Hansen!" --John Ficarra"Charming and hilarious." --Barry Blitt"Lance Hansen has created a wonderfully entertaining book of limericks. His insightfully clever poems accompanied by elegant line portraits makes this truly a feast for lovers of literature and drawing." --Joe Ciardiello"Love great literature, but hate all those goddamn words? With Limerature 101, Lance Hansen has your back." --Michael Gerber, Editor, The American Bystander

Es ist, was es ist. Es ist die LIEBE! Sie ist es, die die Autorin zu diesem Buch inspiriert hat. Ihre Liebe zum Bonner Brauhaus «Em Höttche», zu der Tätigkeit als Service-Kraft und zu ihren Kollegen. Augenzwinkernd und mit einer guten Dosis Humor schildert sie den ganz normalen Wahnsinn eines Gastronomie-Alltags sowie erheiternde Erlebnisse mit Kollegen und Gästen. Eine Live-Schalte mitten aus dem Gastro-Leben. Ein Stück Bonner Zeitchronik. Als am 05. September 2023 der Bonner Sommer sich in seinem schönsten Kleid zeigt und die Sonne bei 30 Grad hell strahlend über dem alten Rathaus am Marktplatz ihr Bestes gibt, verdunkelt plötzlich ein langer Schatten das Bonner Brauhaus. Die Autorin entschied sich, das Buch «Haben sie auch Seniorenteller?»zur Belustigung, aber vor allem auch als Souvenir an die gemeinsame Reise im Höttchen ihrem Team und den Gästen des Bonner Brauhauses zu widmen, im Gedenken an den Besten aller Chefs.
