Summary

Cajun humor must be kindly and homespun, and no one spins a tale with those requirements better than the world's number one humorist, Justin Wilson. Written in dialect, his second collection of tales revolves around the lives of quick-witted farmers, determined deer hunters, and diehard football fans-people who could be your neighbors and friends, especially if you live in Louisiana, and especially if you're the exceptionally neighborly and friendly Justin Wilson-a man who never lets a good story go by. Have you heard the one about the high-jumping bear hunter? It's a good one, I ga-ron-tee! Boisterous, charming, and down-to-earth, Wilson has delighted audiences throughout the country for more than forty-five years. He is author of Justin Wilson's Cajun Humor as well as many cookbooks, including The Justin Wilson Cookbook, The Justin Wilson Cookbook #2: Cookin' Cajun, The Justin Wilson Gourmet and Gourmand Cookbook, Justin Wilson's Outdoor Cooking with Inside Help, and Justin Wilson's Cajun Fables . Howard Jacobs is an authority on Cajun Dialect, co-author of Justin Wilson's Cajun Humor, and author of Cajun Laugh-in.

    A Voice Crying in the Wilderness...

    Thoughts on nature, politics, love, and much more—from the environmentalist and author of such classics as Desert Solitaire and The Monkey Wrench Gang.   Finished just two weeks before his death, A Voice Crying in the Wilderness is a collection of Edward Abbey’s observations, both bitingly witty and inspirational, on a wide range of topics—from philosophy and writing to music, money, sex, and sports.   Abbey chose each passage himself from his own journals and previous writings—and warns us in his typical humorous style that some of the notes “may be unconscious plagiarisms from the great and dead (never steal from the living and mediocre).”   Abbey’s last wish was to be buried in an unmarked grave somewhere out in the vast desert he loved so much. This book is an enduring signal from that desert, through the words of one of the singular American thinkers of our times.

Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who bend the truth in order to add excitement to their lives. Jack invents an imaginary brother, Ernest, whom he uses as an excuse to escape from his dull country home and gallavant in town. Meanwhile, Algernon follows Jack's scam, but his imaginary friend, Bumbury, provides a convenient method of adventuring in the country. However, their deceptions eventually cross paths, resulting in a series of crises that threaten to spoil their romantic pursuits. Hailed as the first modern comedy in England, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST is Wilde's most famous work.

    Do Not Adjust Your Set is a 60s comedy show comprised mostly of satirical sketches, often presented in a bizarre, surreal and disjointed manner- much like that of Monty Python, a succeeding show which several of the cast became part of. 
An important Monty Python predecessor and arguably one of the finest children's sketch comedies ever produced, DNAYS is certainly something you do not want to miss... 
This volume features a compilation of classic sketches from the show, including: 
-Instrumental-The Problems of Falling Over-The Wild and Woolly West-Weather-Hamster Allergies-Post Early for Christmas-Its Lucy!-You're Fired!-Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band-Announcement-Tubas in Moonlight-Fancy Dress for Two-Dog Food-Captain Fantastic-Musicians at Work

    Poul Anderson delves into the realm of human potential in this exciting story and asks some penetrating questions for us to think about.  What if psychology finally enabled people to even partially control all those automatic reactions of our minds and bodies?  What if we were not slaves to anger, fear, emotions, hormones, blood pressure and the thousand other things that our bodies 'take care of' from instant to instant?  What if those things could be brought under the control even partially of our reason and minds?  In this story one man stood between a power-hungry cabal and their world mastery—but a man of, shall we say, unusual talents.
