  Bill Nye: Bill Nye's Funniest...

  Bill Nye

  Bill Nye was a famous American humor columnist in the middle 1800's. He said "We can never be a nation of snobs so long as we are willing to poke fun at ourselves." And he did exactly that in hundreds of newspaper columns that were later collected into books. This is a selection of just 35 of the most humorous, wry and downright funny cogitations of his, written of course in the somewhat convoluted style common in the 19th century which just adds to their flavor in my opinion. The selection process was rigorous: only those that made me laugh, giggle or snort are included.

  Oh Christmas Tree

  Written by the hosts of the wildly popular Deck the Hallmark podcast! 
  Welcome to Greenville, Maine, where all the shop windows are festively decorated, the street lights are magically transformed into candy canes, and the air sounds and smells like the North Pole on Christmas morning.  
  Ellie Holden is back in her hometown of Greenville and surrounded by familiar faces and her favorite traditions. Well, most of them. She’s had a few rocky years, but she’s being her cheerful, helpful self, even if it means pressing pause on the dreams she once chased so passionately.  
  Meanwhile, a few hundred miles away, Josh Hanson is up to his eyeballs in spreadsheets and portfolio analyses, just the way he likes it. He hasn’t visited his Aunt Ruth in Greenville in way too long, and he hasn’t spoken to Ellie since he let their summer romance fizzle out more than ten years ago. But that is all about to change.  
  This is not your typical “boy meets girl in an idyllic Christmas town, they fall in love, but then lose touch only to then reunite under a sad, but surprisingly hopeful set of circumstances in order to complete a fulfilling holiday assignment that could bring the two closer together than ever, ultimately helping both find the meaning they had been searching for in life and in love.” Nope, that's not what this is. (That's what we're telling Grumpy Dan, anyway.) 
  Fans of the Deck the Hallmark podcast should love this story, and other people might enjoy it, too.

  The Many Deaths of Timmy Branch (Short Story): It’s New Year’s Eve and Probationer Garda Bunny McGarry has been tasked with guarding evidence as retribution for doing his job properly. When a call is received, it’s down to Bunny to leap into (and onto) action. 
  Meanwhile in Dublin (Novella): Brigit is having quite the day. She’s organised to take her dad’s bride-to-be wedding dress shopping and has assembled a motley crew to join her. Paul isn’t faring much better as he agreed to play golf with Brigit’s dad and highly irritating brothers despite having never picked up a golf club in his life. When news of a strange deed reaches them, their day takes a turn from bad to worse.
