Also there is a strong emphasis on pop culture and its horizontal contribution to our daily lives and motivational philosophies. All of this is accomplished...

A book of essays and observations by one of the finest humorists of all time, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow has remained a classic since it was first, published in the late nineteenth...

This tiny planet, hidden in a corner of our (or some other) galaxy, is a subject of modest debate among Earth's xenohistorians. Only a select few on Earth (individuals who prefer to remain anonymous) know much about this planet, and researchers have discovered a rich body of Ornian literature that seems to have had a significant influence...

The first poem I remember writing was school work at the age of ten, about King Canute. The teacher, I think, felt like the King, unable to hold back the tide. The stanzas, like waves, kept coming. Later, English was my main subject in which I got a Degree. However, I chose to teach juniors rather than English at a higher level, perhaps fearing frustration? If anyone asked me the question they asked Mr. Chipping, I would have answered as he did Hundreds...

El autor, escritor de fructífera trayectoria en la literatura humorística, posa, en esta ocasión, su aguda mirada sobre esos aparentes e hilarantes "accidentes" lingüísticos en que se incurre más a menudo de lo que nadie esté dispuesto a reconocer.

He offers sound advice on a number of topics in classic Fields-style humor in his attempt to win votes. "Campaign resolutions are no better than New Year's resolutions," he writes. "They are thrown together hastily at the last minute, with never a thought as to how they may be gracefully broken. Now, I am a candidate with years of experience breaking...
