... 10 Good Excuses to Get Out of Work - This article will give you ten good excuses for getting out of work. Use these excuses at your own risk as the author accepts no responsibility if your boss doesn't accept the excuse and fires you.... Those Good Ol' Mom-Isms - Some of the mom-isms that I grew up with are still in my household. Why? Because my eighty year old mother lives with me and I hear them on a daily basis. She keeps me laughing that is for sure. Here are a few of her best mom-isms.... Laughter: The Best Medicine - Laughter can be concluded as one of the best medicines known to us. It has a lot of health benefits which have been frequently researched. Laughing is also not difficult at all and it comes for free. So why not share a laugh or two with everyone.... Fishing With Dad - The father son relationship is very special. Father's should spend a lot of quality time with their sons. My father was gone too soon leaving me with few memories. This is the only time I fished with my father. It is a cherished memory.... Twice The Crime, In Half The Time! - As we learn daily in the national media, there's nothing wrong with America today that can't still be blamed on the guy who left the country in such a mess almost four years ago. You remember - when gas was around $1.90, unemployment was around four percent, and our national deficit was around $8 trillion. Look at any of these indicators, and it's easy to see why Demediacrats everywhere say Barack Obama is twice the president Bush was! And in half the time! Only hard-core capitalist pigs want that Bush mess back .... Funny Questions About Life Part 7 - You've waited, you've counted the days, you've thought to yourself, "Is that all there is to the funny questions of life?" Man, you sure have a lot of time on your hands. But no worries, your wait has paid off.... Jojo In Love - there had always been this nagging natural feeling that somewhere out there was his exact opposite, his missing piece, struggling like he was to find the other half. The one to reaffirm the reversible theory of unity of opposites; calm when he was raging, vibrant when he sulked, poised when he was unsure and the vice versa complementing each other, completing the void, the two imperfect beings fitting perfectly to implement the essence of life, love.... Wedgie Dares - We've put together a list of what we think are the top 5 wedgie dares. These dares are great to do alone, with friends or get back at your annoying brother. They will provide you and your friends with hours of entertainment.... Three Do's and Do Not's About Dressing Up Like a Pirate - People are always trying to dress up like a dumb pirate. Don't be one of those people. Dress up like a great pirate.... Yellow Journalists Go Red, But Feel Blue - Obviously the only way to keep America safe and free is to gut as much of its citizens' strength and liberty as we can get away with, and the president and his Demediacrat coalition have been sprinting away with great chunks of both for three years. Running like they stole something - which they did! But now, when she needs it most, the government must step in to help one of its biggest allies. I'm referring, of course, to the New York Times ... A Self Driving Ice Cream Truck - Tantalizing Indeed - As parents, we worry about all sorts of things, and when it comes to our children, well those are amongst some of our biggest fears - that something might happen. Let's take something as simple as the ice cream man coming down the street playing a song, and all the kids chasing the ice cream truck down the street. We want our children to watch for cars, but we know they are more concerned with getting their ice cream than looking for traffic, no matter how much we tell them to look both ways before crossing or going into the ... What's in a Name? A Linguistic Proposition - According to Shakespeare, a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. What's in a name, right? Wrong!... The Shark - I bought my nephew one of those "Air Sharks" for his birthday. You know - the ones they show scaring the BeJoingus out of the dog on T.V. I got it on sale for half price. I thought: "Hey, he likes sharks - I like sharks - half price - say, this could be a lot of fun!" Yup - I said it - fun.... Nightmare in Seattle - In 1967, I had gone to Seattle with a friend, and I and him had ended up broke, one evening he had stayed in our rented apartment, and I went with some friends I had met to a party, grim, terrible, empty and envious I was. Hunting in their house for some food, they all looked quite healthy, it was evening and the moon was out, -and I'm not sure at that point how I did it, or how Jeff my partner did it, but we were barely able to starve off Starvation; on my travels, even at this young age of nineteen, such times were infrequent. In Minnesota where I lived, in St. Paul, I had never gone empty, but now it was one misfortune after another or so it seemed, so that now, I was somewhat hovering in a chair at this house party in the living room, and several fellows and a number of girls, among them one who owned the place and her girl friends were all high on playing rock and roll records, feasting on pieces of ice some drinks, while I was experiencing all these pangs of famine and near hatre... The Fence - Using materials and tools used for only God knows what, I managed to make a temporary repair to my fence in little time. The temporary repair has lasted now for almost a year. Most amazingly, no one has been killed during that time.... I Know: You Should Start A Business! - I bumped into an old buddy in cyberspace the other day, and we met for a quick drink to catch up. He had decided to start a business, possibly because there has always been something seriously wrong with the guy, so of course I wanted to hear all about it. We met at a little watering hole next-door to his business (a little downtown coffee shop) ... Diary Of A Lovebird - This is combination of a story and music to create a love diary. It talks about love and how it could be destroyed if not handled properly and appreciated in due time.... Having Fun With Women Strippers - In the modern hectic lifestyle where everyone remains extremely busy carrying out several activities, the most attractive source of relaxation and enjoyment is partying. People want to take time out of their lives and have fun with friends and families by socializing at parties. It is becoming very difficult for people to get time out of their busy schedule and attend different sorts of parties.... Is There Anything More Fun Than Watching Truth or Dare Videos? - There is one sort of video that pops up on YouTube all the time. The truth or dare videos mainly authored by teenage girls are in constant high popularity. You will see them all year long and they never get out of style.... Letter From Arabia - Brits Abroad - Observations by a newcomer to Dubai about ex-pat's behaviour abroad. Some things funny, some things to be ashamed of.... Letter From Arabia - A Classy Run - A newcomer to Dubai is impressed by the high standard of organisation in a half marathon. The piece de resistance being the linen clothed silver service finishers' meal.... Dubai Souk and Creek - A newcomer to Dubai visits the textile souk and wanders along the Creek. Amazing sights.... Letter From Arabia - Cultural Misunderstandings - Observations of a newcomer to Dubai concerning how easy cultural misunderstandings can occur. Plus an attempt to become fleeced by an Italian.... Mom! He Got More Than I Got! - You will always find "prosperity" after "progressivism." That is, if by "always find," you are referring to looking these two words up in the dictionary. In the real world, of course, it turns out to be just the opposite and subversives in our culture, from those who own a business to those who support one-percenters like Mitt Romney, always seem to fall all over themselves pointing this out .... I Want to Become More Funny - We are all funny in a way - some are just born with this talent, and being witty and entertaining comes perfectly naturally to them. As opposed to this, there are also people who don't always succeed in making their interlocutors smile. They try, and try, and on their way to eliciting a smile, they have to go through all those awkward moments when no one is amused by their jokes, and face that terrible silence when people don't respond to what should have been a funny story.... Stop the Turf Wars - The ongoing "turf wars" in my neighborhood are demoralizing. Gangland unrest is rampant.... What Grinch Stole Dr Seuss' Lorax? - Dr. Seuss has passed on. But he left to his niece, for her garden, a wonderful, magical piece. This piece for his niece was so magical that you would have to say anyone'd want this small statue. But now it is gone. Purloined from the lawn! The niece says the piece is now gone from the lawn .... The Compass Always Points North - All my life I have had a bad sense of direction. The constant state of getting lost, and the fear of same kept me home from many events in my life. When I was younger I would go places if the directions were simple or I could go with someone.... My Virtual Life As I Make It Up With The Help of Today's Technology - Is There An App For That? - OMG, I need an app to find out who my BFF's are IRL and maybe we can join a virtual book club to finger flip through the 'pages' of our virtual books. It is a great way to kindle our imaginary imaginations. How did we ever survive before electronics?... Pink Slime Will Save the World From Global Warming - Seriously, Ask PETA and the Alarmists - Okay so, I am okay with pink slime and believe all the global warming alarmists should eat it instead of meat. You see, next time they fire up the BBQ or order a hamburger they should get half pink slime and half beef. You may think that I am kidding here, but I assure you I am not.... How To Be A Comedian - As a professional touring comedian for 25 years, the number one question I get from people in the audience--besides, "Why's your breath stink?"-- is "How can I be a comedian?" I am going to try to help you tackle that challenge in this article. This isn't a fail-safe, but it could help start to guide you in the right direction.... The Duckling - This is a funny, true story that happened to me at a time when I was a single mom of two tweens, had a dog two cats a gerbil and of all things a duck. This is what happens when you are trying hard to please your children, sometimes you find yourself in a mess, read this story and see what happens, it has a surprise ending at least it was a surprise to me!... Caricature Drawings - Portraits and photos are so passe! For your fun side to liven up, use caricature!... Dying Is Easy, Killing Is Hard: The Evolution of Stand-Up Comedy - An article about the "Funny Business", the history of stand-up comedy in America. CEO's in the business of funny, class clowns take note! Know your audience, then ignore their advice: The Comedians Path.... How a Rip in My Pants Made Me Human Once Again - My preoccupation with buttons has given way to a much larger and fully realized tragedy. Today I battled one on one with a much more serious enemy. That would be my pants.... This Election Year's A Gas! - This week, the new numbers came out, and wow! The president's approval number is now 5.29.9, and gas is at 41% of your life savings. And they've stopped putting a number on unemployment - the Bureau of Labored Statistics is simply calling it "dang near all y'all" .... Meet You At The Flagpole (Aka "Sticks And Stones And Ak-47s") - The simple words "Meet you at the flagpole" still sends shivers down my spine. We are instructed as children by our parents, teachers, or other adults that "violence solves nothing," yet we often experience that "to the victor go the spoils." This contradiction is not helped by the inane nursery rhymes we are taught. "Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words can never harm us." All it really informs us is that the combatant that arrives with a stick or a stone is going to win that argument. Even the "Good Book" tells us how David wouldn't have walked away whistling a happy tune if he hadn't brought that slingshot along.... Boys Toys and ACTION - There is something in guys that drives them towards "adventure", drives them towards action. There is something, and thank god it is there, that causes us to go "what if?" when dissecting a situation.... The Presidential Golf Cart and the Secret Service - Golf Cart One - Okay so, the Pope has the Pope Mobile, it is bullet proof in case god forgets to protect him I guess, who knows maybe god might get angry over the "B-Movie" cheap costume attire some of those in his entourage wear? I would. Anyway, many important people have specialty cars to parade around in.... How To Write Comedy That Will Kill At The Clubs - Want a simple way to learn how to write comedy? Here is an example I use in my comedian classes in Burbank where I teach students how to be comedian.... Interview With The President - The following is a fictionalized interview with the President. In the interview, he responds to questions that are on the minds and tongues of American citizens from Coast to Coast. Identification of the President is withheld to protect the myth he has created about himself.... Occupy The Vote! - They say that if you're in your twenties and you're not a liberal, you have no heart - and that if you're in your forties and you're not a conservative, you have no brain. This is true, of course so the key to attaining our Utopian national bliss is to make a few simple changes to our voting laws! I mean, if we work it right, we can make people vote so brainlessly they won't even know they're voting .... Why the Autonomous Google Car Needs a Blow Up Alien Doll in the Driver's Seat - The other day, I was reading that the State of Nevada now allows driverless vehicles, cars which are fully autonomous, to drive on their highways. Of course, there are a lot of stipulations, for instance the vehicle must have a $3 million cash bond in place in case there's an accident in lieu of insurance. After all, I doubt there are very many insurance companies that would wish to insure autonomous vehicle driving through the desert of Nevada.... I'm 39 and Holding - Revisited! - How quickly the years pass when you reach 30. Then, at 55, you take serious stock of your life, and consider "course corrections." And, when you hit 70, you think in terms of what you really want to do with the rest of your life. I'm there now and still wondering!... Easing The Radical Transformation - You gotta hand it to the president: he's got that whole transparency thing going on, big time. He told us four years ago that, if elected, he'd radically transform the United States of America and, boy howdy, has he ever! You can hardly recognize the place .... Optical Protection at Its Best With Ray-Ban Sunglasses - It has been over 70 years since Ray-Ban sunglasses went into production with their quality sunglasses, beginning as official sunglasses for US Army fighter pilots to now being one of the most iconic brand style of sunglasses in the entire world. The Ray-Ban sunglasses brand has always tried to offer the most technologically advanced lenses that will protect your eyes from the harmful UV rays from the sun and today their advancements even let them do far more with these popular sunglasses.... On the Subject of Buttons - It is a constant chore through each and every hour of each and every day to maintain the viability and positioning of the buttons on my shirt. The button that bothers me most, probably undeservedly, is the button directly above the zipper on my work slacks. In reality I've never had a real disaster concerning this pant button.... Birthday Cards: Uses and Effects - In order for messages expressing feelings and good will to be effectively delivered, it is highly pertinent that it should be put in writing and for this writing to be accepted, it is even better that it be printed on cards. One such card is a greeting card. Greeting cards can be of various types and one of its type is a birthday card.... 5 Ways Games Can Affect Your Social Life - Games have an effect on everyone, be it leading you to have an obsession with blocks because of a world famous indie-game. Or you crawl on your hands and knees avoiding your boss, preparing to rid the earth of Metal Gear. Games have affected me, they've shaped me to be a socially unacceptable individual with little to no prospects in life.... End-Of-Life Counseling For America - That President Obama ROCKS! I know, right? I mean, we need to re-elect that dude right away, if for no other reason than his awesome health care reforms he's a man with a plan for our country. An end-of-life plan .... Vive La Deference! (Or More Moaning, With Respect) - Firstly, I would like to get something straight here and now before I continue I have nothing against the French; I made the choice to live here after all. I have nothing against the lovely people or indeed the language (apart from my lack of capability to comprehend it). I do, however, have some problems with a few irregularities of the French system or the way they go about things and would like to go into more detail. However, as this is an article and not a large book, I won't. Instead my intention here is to point out, in a light-hearted manner of course, some rather mystifying observations that have come to my attention since crossing the English Channel in a southerly direction some years ago.... Finding A Job As A Comedian - Getting Started - Making Everything Count - If you have ever thought of yourself as a funny person and think you have what it takes to make it to the top, then you may want to try out being a professional comedian. There are many directions an individual can take their career as a comedian and not all directions are good.... Wildlife in Big D - Our middle-class neighborhood borders on the green belt surrounding White Rock Lake. The houses, mostly constructed of brick with wooden shake roofs, are surrounded by trees of every type - pecan, oak, maple - and regularly attract denizens of the forest to gardens, backyards and alleys. Armadillos, rabbits, possums and raccoons are frequent visitors; now and then we see a coyote or two patrolling their territory, hoping to catch a stray cat or small dog for a meal.... How to Not Be a Jerk at Concerts - Since I was twelve years old, all I ever wanted to do was go see live music. I'd legitimately lay in bed at night and worry that- without a license, money and friends that liked the same music as me- I'd never be able to see any of the bands I loved, and would lead a miserable unfulfilled life. Well, that didn't happen, and in the last 12 years I've gone to more concerts than I can even remember. And since my move to New York City over a year ago, my average is at an all-time high. With hundreds of shows under my 24-year-old belt, I've seen a lot of good and I've seen a lot of bad. Read on to find out how you can avoid falling into the latter category ... Eat Your Vegetables - Or ELSE! - "Your pet carrot will live," the doctor said, "but it's going to be a vegetable for the rest of its life." Maybe you've heard that old joke, and you've probably heard the old expression "You are what you eat." Synthesize these two, and add the recent brainless activity of a guv'mint school lunch inspector, and you see how serious our dear leaders are about eating vegetables .... Where to Get Custom Cardboard Cutouts - Cardboard cutouts of celebrities, action figures and television and movie characters have been available for about 25 years. Visit any party store and you'll find Captain Jack Sparrow or Superman standing next to a display of party favors. Most of these cutouts have been sitting around the store for quite some time and they're all covered with dust, because the trendiest parties these days are featuring custom cardboard cutouts.... Man Law - An Analysis of the Saying 'Bros Before Hoes' - Bros before Hoes is the basis of Bro Code, the ultimate in man law, where the others are garnered. Regardless of the cutesy rhyme scheme, there is a valid system of ethics that guides a man on his journey for personal development.... The Zombie Apocalypse Is Here! - Most people assume that being prepared for a zombie apocalypse is a waste of time. But, if you've been keeping track of the constant hype involving biological warfare; then you've realized that it is very possible to be hunting human brains and relatively soon.... Again, With The Occupation? - Are you overcome with a feeling of deja vu, all over again? If you're like me (and I know I am), you might be. Just four short years ago, in 2008, some giants from New York won an epic contest over some patriots, despite the fact the patriots were favored. And it's, like, happening again .... Help! My Printer Has a Poltergeist! - I think my printer is haunted. To fully appreciate the magnitude of this trauma, you need to understand that "The Fiend" went rogue only 10 weeks after I purchased it ... What Makes a Good Viral Meme? - In this article I will talk about what makes a good viral internet meme. There are many qualities to a good meme as I will discuss.... So Many Morphsuits To Choose From - The Morphsuit is taking the world by storm as people don these surprisingly comfortable, brightly coloured or patterned suits. They can be worn by individuals as well as families, friends and groups who want to make a unique impression in everyday life or in planned activities. No matter where they are seen, they are never forgotten and are typically the centre of fun and attention while providing the wearer with anonymity, if desired.... The Bedpan - Ever tried to use a bedpan? If so, you will certainly identify with Walt as he has his first encounter with the portable throne!... Smartest President EVER! - We're in a tight spot here in America, possibly because NO ONE could've realized how badly the previous U.S. administration had balled things up - not even the smartest president ever, who got us to give him the job based on the assurance that he - and only he - could fix it. Here we are, though, more than three years later, and just look at how brilliantly it's all coming together .... Keith Stone Pipeline - Is It Really That Bad? - Everyone seems to like beer including Unions, Obama and all my friends - why wouldn't you want a pipeline? Our opinion says there are outside forces at work.... The Dream Book Versus The Internet - The first Sears catalog was published in 1888. By 1894, it had grown to 322 pages. They had car parts and cars (1905-1915 by Lincoln Motor Car Works), tools and underwear, motorbikes and tableware, shoes, socks, potting soil, perfume, eyeliner, sewing machines and fabrics.... Predictions for 2012 - Here in the middle of an insane Christmas gig season, I'm beginning to think past the holidays about the New Year 2012.?My predictions and projections are as follows: An App for that: Every human function will have an app by the end of the year.... Read This Story - Then Weep for the Future of Civilization - Are you optimistic about the future of civilization? Stop it.... What's With The Party-Pooper In Chief? - Normally I'm very supportive of our president. After all, he has the toughest job on the planet, and it must be incredibly difficult to get up every day and do the often-self-abasing things he has to do to get the job done (meaning, get re-elected with a record of "governance" like his). But he's really dropped the ball on this Keystone Pipeline thing. I mean, Mardi Gras is right around the corner, and he's depriving the gulf states of the smoothest Got-danged beer out there .... The JoJo Chronicles - The pebble inside the shoe the left one throbbing like a thorn to a throne, under his left foot toes. Jojo stamped his feet casually, hoping the pebble would slide down the side. Pebble was static. Wish he just could reach out and yank out his shoes and set his toes free ... Top Tips to Get Started on Twitter (A Parody) - This is a parody of tips on how to start twittering for those who enjoys a random making fun of things. Suitable for Twitter-addicts, Twitter-haters and average Joes.... Good Songs Gone Wild - The bad side of Santa that people don't know about. OR, how a nice holiday tune with just a few changes, can turn nasty.... One Percent Rap, Dog! - Let's rap about that evil One Percent, testament! They cry, they occupy, downtown in stinky tents. Ain't fair that some got money, while other mothers don't.... Why People Love Cute Stuff - Have you ever stopped and wondered why people tend to love looking at cute stuff? I have wondered this several times in my life and here is an article that will teach you why we love it.... Good Moaning! - The struggles and frustrations of an Englishman in France, trying to make sense of the French language and at least getting things off his chest, if nothing else. "I suppose that having never had any formal education in French at school puts me at an immediate disadvantage. When I first came to live in France some years ago I was optimistic "... Why We're Addicted To Facebook - The Love Hormone - It's been shown that reading funny status updates, getting "likes," and seeing that little red notification alert on our page causes the body to release a chemical called "oxytocin" into the bloodstream. Oxytocin is also called the "love hormone" because it is involved with giving us those fuzzy feelings we get when we are in the beginning stages of a new relationship, or more importantly, having an orgasm.... Corporations Are Not People! - So we're hanging out in California the other day, because space travel is now affordable and we thought we'd explore a different planet and see if we could find any intelligent life. We didn't. But we did find a lady in a wheel chair, rolling around a resort city with a big sign reading "Corporations Are Not People!" and collecting alms .... Your Brain Is a Red Liar - Our brains are hard wired to respond to red. Evolutionary psychologists explain this by pointing out that in the time before writing, when our brains were developing, if you saw red, something was happening that was worth your attention. You could be leaking red blood, something might be trying to eat you with its red mouth, delicious meat was red, your loincloth might be on red fire, those red berries might kill you, etc.... Maintaining Our Spending Superiority - Now that the long-awaited second Carter term is entering its fourth year, we should not be surprised that the president is finally getting a handle on defense spending. He was on the TV contraption the other day, announcing we'll be slashing our defense budget, but "we'll still maintain our military superiority." After all, he argues, we ought to be able to get by on a budget still greater than that of the next ten nations combined ... Are You Really My Friend If We Just Chat on Line? - I am a networking junkie. I love being in a room with people I don't know, hoping to start interesting conversations, build relationships and maybe even get business referrals.... Thank (God) For Godless Holidays - Now that the holidays are over, we can get back to the business of America. And thank God - no, strike that, thank the "community" - we have a president who understands what the business of America is (crony socialism, of course!) .... How The Share Button Made Facebook Annoying - Facebook used to be a lot less cluttered. At least, that was before the invention of the "share" button. As a result of that one little link now underneath every post, my wall has become nothing more than a confusing mess of useless cliches and talking animal posters. How are we, as intelligent people, to deal with this injustice? We make fun of them, of course!... How to Make Good Funny Jokes - Writers are always advised, "Avoid Cliches". But cliches prove to be a highly desired and one of the most successful strategies in writing comedies.... Falling Down - When using a flight of stairs for the first time, I often christen them by falling all the way down them. In this article, I'll explain the best techniques for falling down stairways that draw the most attention. I've had 34 years experience in the art of falling and now I'd like to share my expertise with you.... My Most Embarrassing Moment - Let me preface this by saying that to some people, this may be considered an "R" rating and others it will be "PG". I'm leaning more to the "PG" status. Ok.... A Comedy of Errors the Day I Caught a Bank Robber - My real life experience when I was a police officer and I caught a bank robber. This was a true "Barney Fife" moment.... The Year That Wasn't - So here's a look back at some zany highlights from 2011 - stories you never heard, and which, according to the media and the government, never actually happened ... Of Snakes and Celebrity Marriages - There are always articles online and in print about well known people reconciling with their errant spouses caught with twilight girls or other women of dubious virtue. Some choose to stay with these spouses and we speculate here as to why they would do that.... How to Become a Successful Christian Comedian - This article is about the basics of becoming a successful Christian Comedian. Basic steps of getting on stage and becoming a known christian comedian that will impress your audience.... Dickens Would Love "A Broncos Carol" - The ol' Broncos were dead - as dead as a doornail. This must be clearly understood (and at 1-4, believe me, it was clearly understood), or nothing of the miraculous can be perceived in that which follows .... Chutzpah - My Problems in Finding the Meaning and Usage of the Word - I thought looking up in a dictionary for a word is a child's play. I found, to my horror, it's more complicated than what I thought.... Bats In My Belfry - Bats are a most valuable creature of nature. One single little brown bat can eat up to 1,000 mosquitoes in a night. Imagine how many more bugs there'd be on those hot summer nights without bats.... Why I Love My iPod - Historically speaking humans have always had a special interest in music and long to be surrounded by it as much as possible. Discoveries of primitive instruments, as well as paintings of instruments being played, journals detailing specific rituals or even songbooks, have opened the eyes of modern man to the many thousands of years of musical prominence in almost every imaginable society and culture. In addition to these finds we see amazing advances in musical portability over the past forty years indicating desire to evolve even further toward complete immersion in melody and song.... Bodyilicious - The New Shape for Women - What good are women without curves? Women with curves are eye candy. When all women shed their excess weight and wear zero size dresses, this world will be a dull place to live. It's women who complain first about such state of affairs.... In Defense Of Clowns - Jokers, Politicians and the Games They Play - Jokes, comparisons and cartoons of a political nature have been a staple of campaigns and party slogans in America for centuries. Recently, there appears to be a surge in the media suggesting similarities between politicians and clowns. As a circus clown I would like to take this opportunity to set a few things straight.... Workers Of The World, Untie! - Maybe the reason a community organizer could rise to the highest office in the land is that, well, the leftist community has always been in great need of organization. The trouble with socialism, as Maggie Thatcher said, is that you eventually run out of other people's money but the trouble with socialists seems to be that they can't ever agree on which of them is best suited for totalitarian leadership of the Utopia they envision .... Is There Room in British Culture for Bizarro Fiction? - Is there room for Bizarro Fiction - the literary genre of the weird and wonderful- in British culture? One British Bizarro Author argues that yes- our innate 'Britishness' is feeding ground for the Bizarro writer .... Sorry Tale of My Mustache - In India, a mustache is a sign of masculinity and virility. When Mahatma Gandhi took over the leadership of the freedom movement he advocated people to grow beards mainly to hurt the import of British blades and razors. Since Independence, mustaches of all kinds have regained their popularity and past glory.... 7 Celebrity Sayings We All Use - Yes, they've even infiltrated our speech, and got their own little sayings into the common vernacular.
