100 Things to Hate Before You Die

Claudia Stavola

Comedian Claudia Stavola understands we’re living in sensitive times and the word hate is controversial, so she doesn’t use it loosely. She only uses it for serious infractions like gender reveal parties, guys who wear shorts when it’s forty below, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina candle.  
You’ll be thoroughly entertained and in awe of how Stavola’s raucous sarcasm mirrors your inner most thoughts in this hilarious collection of easy-to-read essays. With her witty and insightful observations, she’s like a modern-day George Carlin, except hairier. (Hey, she’s Italian. She was born with a mustache). 
100 Things to Hate Before You Die is astute, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny. Claudia shares her aggravation over a range of topics from mundane things like Fakebook, crappy gift-givers, and ukuleles on talent show auditions, to more thought-provoking topics such as people with no shame, the need for a license to parent, and the death of Eddie Van Halen.  
Delivered with razor-sharp force, Stavola’s hysterical and unique takes on everyday a**holes makes this not only a great read for comedy lovers, but a must-read.

ABOUT THE FILM 
"Dances with Wolves" is an epic Western film directed by and starring Kevin Costner. Set during the American Civil War, it follows Lieutenant John Dunbar, who, after a heroic act on the battlefield, is sent to a remote military outpost in the western frontier. There, he encounters the Lakota Sioux tribe and begins to form an unexpected bond with them. The film explores themes of cultural conflict, survival, and the impact of colonialism. Through Dunbar's evolving relationships with the Sioux and his growing respect for their way of life, the story delves into issues of identity, honor, and unity.

“Because of the film's overwhelming success and its respectful portrayal of Native Americans, the Sioux Nation honored Kevin Costner by adopting him as an honorary member.” 
  
“In a memorable scene where the buffalo charges at Smiles a Lot, it is actually charging toward a pile of Oreo cookies, which were the buffalo's favorite treat.” 
  
“Kevin Costner performed all of his own horseback riding, including riding bareback and shooting his gun without holding the reins, during the buffalo hunt.” 
  
“Kevin Costner's daughter, Annie Costner, portrayed a young Stands With a Fist in the flashback dream sequence. In one scene, she runs from the Pawnee party that killed her family, looking back over each shoulder. She struggled to distinguish between her right and left sides, as she was only six years old at the time.”
