  Peace Love & Wi-Fi - A ZITS...

  The world of sixteen-year-old Jeremy Duncan revolves around his insatiable "growing boy" appetite, lip-locking with squeeze Sarah, keeping his jerry-rigged vehicle roadworthy, and playing with his band, Goat Cheese Pizza. Somewhere in the background, he's vaguely aware of some muted voices, constantly beseeching him to pick up his Matterhorn-sized clothes pile, to be home on time (so lame!), and to (God forbid!) communicate with them. The disembodied voices are those of Connie and Walt, his mostly patient, but sometimes frustrated to exploding, parents. In Zits, they portray a hilarious view of coping with a teenager and with being a teenager.Created in 1997 by Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Jim Borgman and Reuben Award-winning cartoonist/writer Jerry Scott, Zits appears in more than 1,600 newspapers worldwide in 45 countries and is translated into 15 different languages. The comic has an estimated daily readership of more than 200 million readers.

  This program is read by the author.From The Onion and Reductress contributor, this collection of essays is a hilarious nostalgic trip through beloved 2000s media, interweaving cultural criticism and personal narrative to examine how a very straight decade forged a very queer woman."Honest, funny, smart, and illuminating.” —Anna Drezen, co-head writer of SNL"If you came of age at the intersection of Mean Girls and The L Word: Read this book.” —Sarah Pappalardo, editor in chief and co-founder of ReductressToday’s gay youth have dozens of queer peer heroes, both fictional and real, but former gay teenager Grace Perry did not have that luxury. Instead, she had to search for queerness in the (largely straight) teen cultural phenomena the aughts had to offer: in Lindsay Lohan’s fall from grace, Gossip Girl, Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl,” country-era Taylor Swift, and Seth Cohen jumping on a coffee cart. And, for better or worse, these touch points shaped her adult identity. She came out on the other side like many millennials did: in her words, gay as hell.Throw on your Von Dutch hats and join Grace on a journey back through the pop culture moments of the aughts with The 2000s Made Me Gay, before the cataclysmic shift in LGBTQ representation and acceptance—a time not so long ago, which many seem to forget.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Griffin

  It's an autobiography mainly covering 35-years in the magazine publishing business featuring successes, failures, amazing people, and crazy stories that really happened. Arthur C. Brooks, The Atlantic wrote: "Humor is a serious business for happiness and cultivating humor in life, even during the darkest times, can be the secret to keeping us from despair." LAUGH EVERY DAY, NO MATTER WHAT illustrates the value of laughter in life during the good times and the bad.Included are funny anecdotes related to hockey, football, squash, scuba diving, and fly-fishing along with a cast of unique personalities. Excerpts from the Foreward, by Neil Morton, a former magazine writer, and editor: "From the first time I met Greg MacNeil in the 1990s when I was an intern on one of the publications the magazine mogul oversaw, I knew I was around someone genuinely unique and special. Indeed, everyone who has ever been around the guy for any length of time has the same sentiment: Boy, that Greg is a beauty, one of a kind!" The book covers the hurdles, the people, the magazine world, the highs, and lows, the defining moments, and the belly-ache laughter anecdotes.What you do with what you have and the cards you were dealt defines you. The above themes and messages are delivered loudly and clearly while listening to this entertaining gem that is like being at the best dinner party you've ever attended with non-stop stories, jokes, and wisdom."

  Even More Pretty Good Jokes

  Garrison Keillor

  Even more of a good thing: the latest collection of knee-slappers, toe-tappers, and groaners from A Prairie Home Companion Joke Shows. Did you hear the one about the paranoid dyslexic? He always thought he was following someone. . . . Why did ancient Romans close down the Coliseum? The lions were eating up the prophets. . . . Jokes are made for sharing, and everyone loves to laugh. This nonstop collection gathers the best jokes from four Joke Shows including the two most recent (3/8/2008 and 11/1/08), all recorded before live audiences at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul. Performers include show regulars—Garrison Keillor, Sue Scott, Tim Russell, Tom Keith—along with special guests. There’s music from the Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band, a Guy Noir sketch, a Catchup sketch, and an unforgettable performance of “The Sound of Chickens,” a song that bears an uncanny resemblance to the Simon & Garfunkel classic “The Sound of Silence.” Except it really is about chickens, and while “The Sound of Silence” is dead serious, this version is just plain silly. (“And in the naked light I saw/Ten thousand chickens maybe more.”)
   So it’s everything fans want and expect: good jokes, good music, and a pretty darned good time.
