“The lifestyles of the rich and famous are very attractive. I’m being
perfectly honest, that was part of the attraction for me to be the
number one guy. Then you get out here and you just want to be
good. You start to get into it. I didn’t study acting. I got out here
and had much to learn.”– Brad Pitt
A unique compilation of early-career
photographs and interviews with 16 of
Hollywood’s hottest celebrities, including
Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, John Cusack, Sandra
Bullock, Laura Dern and Courteney Cox.
Shot and recorded by Photographer Karen
Bystedt, the photographs and interviews are a
riveting document clearly showing why these
household names became top stars.
Karen Bystedt began her career in New York,
photographing models while attending NYU

moved to LA, capitalizing on her unique talent
for identifying top actors early in their careers.

steal a magical cauldron – the precursor to
the Grail – from the Lord of Annwfn.

King Jesus
From Kam (Egypt) to Camelot
By Ralph Ellis
“Priests and kings were anointed ... hence the title ‘christ’ or
‘messiah’ often signified the same as ‘king’.”– Commentary on
the Bible, Adam Clarke, 1832
On a quest to locate St. Paul (Saul) in the
historical record, scholar Ralph Ellis found
evidence that St. Paul was actually Josephus
Flavius, the first century Jewish historian.
Through Flarius’ histories, Ellis exposes new
perspectives on the life of Jesus.
Ellis asserts that King Jesus and Queen Mary
Magdalene were actually wealthy owners of a
city-state in eastern Syrio-Jordan and had a
private army. The Romans wanted to impose
taxes on the city-state and provoked the
Jewish Rebellion, which King Jesus fought
and lost. He was crucified, reprieved,
banished and exiled to Britain, a remote
Roman military outpost.
There, King Jesus became famous once
again, but the locals called him and his
disciples King Arthur and the Twelve
Knights of the Last Supper Table.
DID JESUS BECOME KING ARTHUR?

The Crystal Skulls
Astonishing Portals to
Man’s Past
By David Childress and Stephen S. Mehler
All the current information on crystal skulls
by two authors with first-hand knowledge!
In 1927, while searching Mayan ruins for the lost
civilization of Atlantis, archaeologists discovered
a perfect replica of a human skull, exquisitely
carved and polished from a single piece of quartz
crystal. Clearly the product of a sophisticated
civilization, its age has been estimated at 12,000
years! Crystal skulls have also been found in
Belize, Guatemala and the Himalayas.
Strange sounds, odors, and light effects
emanate from crystal skulls, and they are said
to have caused violence, physical injury, and
even death. Are these uncanny objects our
link to mankind’s dark, magical past?

Axis of the World
The Search for the Oldest
American Civilization
By Igor Witkowski
Archeological sites around South America
demonstrate that it was the origin of a great
antediluvian civilization, with Easter Island
as one of its crowning achievements.
This book describes a multidisciplinary
exploration of this lost civilization, delving
into archaeological discoveries, ethnological
relations, and even genetic research. There
are several keys to this strange riddle of a
missing millenial culture in disparate parts
of the world.
The author creates a comprehensive picture
of man’s past – one completely different
from the standard academic truth – of this
strange, almost unknown, advanced culture.
Here is unequivocal evidence, based on facts
that have simply been ignored for decades.

Gravitational Manipulation
of Domed Craft
By Paul Potter
For the first time, here are the scientific
principles behind UFO propulsion dynamics,
principles known and recognized by today’s
physicists.
This brand-new field of scientific research is
based upon analysis of artifacts retrieved
from crashed and damaged UFOs in Russia
and America. Potter’s analyses of these UFO
mechanisms are substantiated with references
to a broad array of over 300 research papers
published in scientific journals.
Potter correlates many of the phenomena
observed first-hand by close encounter
witnesses and abductees with his scientific
UFO propulsion deductions. He then
pinpoints common themes, categorizing them
according to known physical principles. His
precise, even lavish, illustrations allow the
reader to enter directly into his subject.
UFO PROPULSION DYNAMICS
is a British engineer and inventor
who has been researching UFOs and flying
saucer propulsion for over 30 years. This is

The Rise
Saunière’s Magical Workings
and the Penitential Movement
in Europe
By Isaac ben Jacob and Sarah Fishberg
In Medieval Europe an indomitable heresy
infiltrated the Catholic hierarchy. This
heresy was a penitent movement, based on a
Babylonian Cult of the Dead.
Their bizarre public spectacles – still seen
today in the streets of Europe – include
grisly acts of self-mortification, but these are
simply smokescreens to draw attention away
from the movement’s true workings.
THE COVERT POLITICAL POWER
OF CHRISTIAN PENITENTS
The authors led a team of researchers
tracking this movement from the Middle
East to Italy, Germany and France.
Ultimately, they realized that the mystery of
Rennes-le-Château, linked with the
extraordinary fortune of Bérenger Saunière,
is another episode in the long and intriguing
tale of this heretical penetential movement.
The Rise reveals the long-secret battles between
the Church hierarchy and various movements
that have tried to penetrate and take it over –
sometimes successfully!
and Sarah Fishberg are
French journalists living in Normandy. They
spearhead a team of international
researchers investigating the story of the
penitential network.

Masters of Deception
Murder and Intrigue in the
World of Occult Politics
By Guy Patton
“Masters of Deception should be considered as the third part
of Holy Blood, Holy Grail and The Messianic Legacy!”
– Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln
In 2003, the publication of The Da Vinci Code
propelled the enigmatic Priory of Sion to
international fame as the guardians of a
sacred bloodline.
But in truth, the Priory is an elite occult
political organization, part of a shadowy
world of secret societies which have
attempted to influence governments and the
fates of nations for centuries. It is an arcane
world of symbols, archetypes, ritual and
fantasy, where idealism, personal gain,
egocentricity and criminality often blur.
These Machiavellian groups have resorted to
deception, fraud, blackmail and even
murder in pursuit of hidden, and frequently
sinister, goals. Guy Patton lays their
manipulations bare.
DETAILS ON SECRET SOCIETIES
AND OCCULT POLITICS
president of The Rennes Group,
has studied alternative history and occult
politics for two decades. He has lived in
Malta and London and currently makes his
home in southern England. He is the author
of Web of Gold (2000).

Zionism, Militarism and
the Decline of US Power
By James Petras
“Jim Petras is one of the best informed political scientists of his
generation.”– Tom Brass, Editor, The Journal of Peasant
Studies, Cambridge
“James Petras is #59 in its list of America’s 100 most influential
liberals (above Noam Chomsky and Stephen Colbert).”
– The UK Daily Telegraph
Coming to grips with the impact of the Israel
Lobby on US policy is essential to bringing
peace to the Middle East.
Americans must restore public freedoms and
take back our right to decide US foreign and
domestic policy; however, criticizing the
powerful public role of American Zionism is
a big taboo. Never in US history has a tiny,
foreign-linked, ethno-religious minority
possessed so much influence.
This book challenges the claims of Zionism,
which argues that Israel is “just another
lobby” by empirically examining several
major US policies: Saudi military sales,
intelligence estimates of Iran’s nuclear
energy policy, and Congressional Middle
East policy votes in 2007-2008.

Margaret Trost was in her 30s when her
husband died suddenly, leaving her to raise
their young son alone. In despair, seeking
meaning in her life and in her husband’s
death, she visited Haiti in a pilgrimage of
reverse mission, to serve the poor as a means
to transform the providers. Trost worked in a
hospice and in the horrific slums of Cité
Soleil. As she struggled to make sense of such
extreme conditions existing so near the US,
she met and came to love the optimistic and
enterprising Haitians. Readers have a frontrow seat as an unlikely group of friends
creates a food program for Haiti’s poor
children. In straightforward, conversational
prose, Trost illuminates her passage from
despair to hope.

Ten Southeast Asian Tribes
from Five Countries
By David Howard
“...a rewarding and intriguing project...”– Paul Michael Taylor,
The National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian
Institution Washington D.C.
“...an experimental photographer of amazing ability.”
– San Francisco Chronicle and New York’s Village Voice
“...beautiful and compelling.”– Kathleen Berrin, The Fine Arts
Museums of San Francisco
A sensitive and personal portrayal featuring
889 pictures of ten tribes from Thailand,
Laos, Burma, Vietnam and the Philippines.
This original and innovative book embodies
traditions that have evolved over thousands
of years and which are slowly vanishing. This
is a lavish production and an invaluable
historical record that combines anthropology
and popular culture.
“I chose to dedicate these pictures and stories to the tribes
people themselves, in the hope that their way of life and
works of art can be preserved through the protection
afforded through public recognition. I offer this book as a
testament to the resilience of the human spirit, recognizing
in the lives of these tribes that essential strength resides,
and the endurance of their culture is insured.”
–David Howard, from the Dedication
David Howard’s work has been published in
33 periodicals, exhibited in 39 group shows,
23 one-man shows, and collected by 11 museums.
His photography exhibitions in France,
Mexico, Japan, Ireland, the Philippines,
and the US have established him as an
international artist, and his experimental
films and video documentaries have also won
recognition at numerous institutions and
museums. He lives in San Francisco.

The Superferry Chronicles
By Koohan Paik and Jerry Mander
“[Jerry Mander is] the patriarch of the anti-globalization
movement.”– Andrew Revkin, NYT, 2007
“[Mander is] the Ralph Nader of advertising.”– Wall Street
Journal, 1971
A story of personal and political grass-roots
empowerment, an unprecedented showdown
against an unsought intrusion into the
Hawaiian way of life.
When an entrepreneur wanted to start a
high-speed, inter-island ferry to connect
Oahu with her neighbor islands, the idea was
hijacked by a corporation with military ties
to become a prototype of America’s seabased military strategy for the 21st Century.
The project rode in on a wave of deception
and corruption – from the governor’s office,
to the Hawaii Superferry corporation.
INSIDE STORY OF THE RECENT
HAWAIIAN UPRISING
But the Superferry deal was never approved
by the people of Hawai‘i, and this galvanized
Hawaiians. On Kauai, citizens took to
surfboards and effectively blocked the vessel
from entering the harbor, among other
emotional protests.
Koohan Paik’s films,

Chronicles

Rome-antic Delusions
Art By Jeremy Fish
“I wanted to immerse in a fascinating city and see if it increases or
reduces the disillusion I feel every day.”– Jeremy Fish
Drago invited Jeremy Fish to come to Rome
and create site-specific works, a remix of
Jeremy’s images, with an Italian touch added
to his usual cast of characters and rich
iconography.
Fish’s symbiotic work with the Eternal City
uses a library of symbols and characters to
tell real-life narratives in a surreal way and
alter the established order. His vivid imagination stems from his bilateral artistic
persona, which combines solitary introspection
with the exuberance of changing perspectives.

Nation of Angela
By Sophie Toulouse
“What is there to do when you can have it all?”– Jean Baudrillard
The most literary contribution to the 36
Chambers series is Nation of Angela (N.o.A.), a
multimedia project.
N.o.A. is a utopian island where communal
ideals coexist with fashion, glamour, and
luxury – a lost paradise, a personal and
political arcadia. But tensions reveal
themselves in the most important event on
the island, the battle between the N.o.A.
army and the army of Fat Elvis.
Angela’s citizens are post-modern magicians,
with flat stomachs, Botoxed faces, full lips
and silicon breasts. They are plastic bodies,
transformed into parcels, whose main objective
is to seduce the consumer. These irresistible
packages conceal lethal weapons, an alchemy
of fake pleasures, always affordable, including
potions of sensuality for synthetic and
illusory journeys. But it is useless to follow
the instructions and “use with caution.”
WHAT ARE YOU DOING AFTER THE ORGY?
Sophie Toulouse is a French artist who mounts
large-scale visual installations, created mostly
digitally. She does commercial work in print
and films and her clients include IBM,
Galleries Lafayette, Hugo Boss, Nike and
Universal. Her story is inspired by Kurt
Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle, and the writing of
Guy Debord. She lives in Paris.

The Skinhead Way of Life
Photographs By Angelo Sindaco
“In these photos I find that mix of physical skills, concentration and fun which are
the main ingredients of street basketball all over the world.”– Federico Sarica
A large-format book of black and white photographs of
basketball, the game, the flesh, the emotions and the
style, photographed and presented as never seen before.
Angelo Sindaco’s images showcase America’s actionpacked sport and reveal a humanistic primal side
that connects us all, as passion for the game is not
unlike the passion for life.
An exploration into the faults of modernity.
Sindaco maps the mutant geography of the street
scene, and as a former skinhead, he revisits his past
with his camera, immortalizing one of the most
esoteric tribes on the globe, a world apart and hard
to approach. Includes:

Dawn
By Phil Elverum
Dawn, an artist’s memoir, delves deeply into
an intensely creative period of Elverum’s life
in a beautiful mix of journal writing, jokes,
photographs, and music.
This hardcover collection chronicles Elverum’s
solo winter in a cabin in arctic Norway,
gathering wood and acting out myths – three
months of unfiltered brain torrents
interspersed with drawings.
It comes with a 17-track CD of songs written
during that time. The music of Mount Eerie
and The Microphones, the revelatory text
and detailed imagery are a very personal,
almost voyeur-istic, view inside the mind of
Phil Elverum.

Phil Elverum was born on May 26th 1978 in
Anacortes, WA. Once he realized that it was
possible to make songs and books and
pictures and not do any other work, he
became hyperactive. It all culminated in the
death-themed album Mount Eerie. In 2002 he
went on an endless tour and stopped for the
winter in northern Norway.

Keep It Together!
Cosmic Boogie with the
Deviants and the Pink Fairies
By Rich Deakin
“Vividly captures the spirit of the times.”– Record Collector
“This is British amphetamine psychosis music and if you don’t like
it you can f*ck off and listen to your Iron Butterfly albums.”
– Mick Farren of The Deviants
“...it’s the story of a mob of reprobates that made every mistake
imaginable and seemed destined for self-immolation but somehow,
against all odds, keep coming back for one more try.”
– Ken Shimamoto, I94bar.com
The remarkable story of London’s 60s and
70s communal bands from the perspective
of its most crucial exponents, who were off
their heads on meth.
The Deviants and Pink Fairies were bands of
the people: they gate-crashed festivals and
sometimes played for free on a flatbed or
shared a bill with Led Zeppelin or the
Grateful Dead. They had an important place
in a swinging scene that became ugly with
hard drugs, bad acid, and street politics.
Hawkwind, the Pretty Things, MC5,
Tyrannosaurus Rex, Motorhead and Canned
Heat were pilled-up geezers desperate for
revolution… or at the very least, Top Of The Pops.

Of Kids & Parents
By Emil Hakl
Translated By Marek Tomin
“This virile sentimentality is quite exceptional in contemporary art
and is ultimately the real core of Hakl’s writing, though at first
glance it might seem that this core has been fragmented into
anecdotes.”– Jiri Penas, Tyden
“...one of the more interesting Czech writers today.”– Jan Culik,

In Europe, taking a walk is a cultural
phenomenon of almost mystical import. It
connects physical activity with meditation,

Inspired by Joyce’s Ulysses and Hrabal’s stream
of anecdote, Of Kids & Parents is about a father and
son walking through Prague, stopping in pubs
and bars, their personal lives entwined with sixty
years of upheaval in their small corner of
Europe. Their personal history is inseparable
from the larger History that is played out on
the world’s stage: families are uprooted,
relationships fail, yet life goes on as it always
does. The father tells his son: “Nothing’s been new
in this world for more than two billion years, it’s all just
variations on the same theme of carbon, hydrogen, helium, and
nitrogen.” His point is that though Prague has
experienced monarchy, democracy, fascism,
communism, and democratic capitalism – as
wars, putsches, and revolutions have come
and gone – what really has changed?
Emil Hakl was born in Prague in 1958. A
graduate of the Jaroslav Jelek Conservatorium,
he was a manual laborer under the
Communist regime. From 1996 to 2000 he
worked for an ad agency, then began to write,
poetry, novels, short stories, reviews and
essays. His work appears in anthologies and
magazines in English, German, and French.

Final Tales of the Revolution
By Peter Pessl
Translated By Mark Kanak
“Peter Pessl’s art is dreamy. A chaos of individual fragments are
brought together so sharply and meticulously that the flickering
before the reader’s eyes unexpectedly takes shape as an elegiac
underpainting.”– Basler Zeitung
Aquamarine is a novel comprised of seven tales
exploring the unfolding of an idea, taking
some “blue, yellow and beiges, or legcolored ideas” and wrapping them around
like a coiled garden hose with all its awkward
convolutions, each loop having its own
radius but belonging to the same loop:
revolution in every sense.
Aquamarine, a fluid like water, is a compound of
two elements: language and imagery flowing
over Mexican landscapes and cities, in both
external and internal geographies.
The revolution is the river: the people, and
places come and go, are drawn from the ether
about us, and disappear again into
nothingness, which is a something-ness – if
the narrator chooses it to be.

work for audio spaces, installations, and

The Old Battle-Ax /
Dark Power
By Elizabeth Sanxay Holding
Introduction By Gregory Shepard
“Back in the early ‘30s, before anybody ever heard of psychological
novels of suspense, Elisabeth Sanxay Holding was writing them,
and brilliantly. For subtlety, realistic conviction, and incredible
economy, she’s in a class by herself.”– Anthony Boucher
The Old Battle-Ax (Simon & Schuster, 1943):
It starts with a lie: Mrs. Herriott’s sister
Madge comes back from Europe, but is found
dead on the sidewalk the next morning. Mrs.
Herriott tells the police she doesn’t know the
dead woman, but one lie leads to another.
Her niece Carla even dresses up like Madge
to continue the deception. Why is everyone
trying to keep Madge’s death a secret?
Dark Power (Vanguard, 1930):
Diana Leonard goes to the Châlet at the
invitation of her long-lost Uncle Peter, but
finds the family reunion shattered by
suspicion. Her Aunt Emma is a stern,
domineering woman, a professor of
psychology who conducts experiments on
cretin children. Peter is a fool or a sadist,
and their son is a guilt-ridden alcoholic.
Can Diana survive her stay in the Châlet?
“THE TOP SUSPENSE WRITER OF THEM ALL.”
– RAYMOND CHANDLER
Elizabeth Sanxay Holding was born in Brooklyn
in 1889 and married British diplomat George
E. Holding. They traveled widely before
settling in Bermuda. She published 25 novels
in her lifetime – 19 of them mysteries – and
many short stories. She died in 1955.

Once housemaid to the wealthy Studebaker
family in South Bend, Indiana, Hilda
Johansson is now married and living a wellto-do life with her new husband. But her

Just before Christmas, when the husband of
her sole remaining friend is accused of theft,

of 1904, with bank failures weekly, Hilda
tries to aid the unemployed youth of South

Hull House in Chicago. She even enlists
some boys as Baker Street Irregulars in her

Ten years later, a stolen petroglyph emerges –

Her information-retrieval skills work well

The Life of Gustav Meyrink
By Mike Mitchell
Here is the first English bio of the cult
author of The Golem, written by a prizewinning scholar and translator.
The illegitimate son of an aristocratic
politician and an actress, Meyrink established
himself as a banker in Prague, while achieving
notoriety as a dandy, rake, and sportsman.
About to commit suicide, he chanced on a
pamphlet about life after death, put his
revolver away and started a lifelong interest in
the occult. He unmasked false mediums and
experimented with alchemy, drugs and
clairvoyance until an affair of honor led him
to challenge the entire Prague officer corps,
setting machinations in motion which
resulted in his being wrongly imprisoned. His
bank then collapsed and he became a writer.
So many stories collected around him, it is
often difficult to distinguish fact from
fiction, legend from life. This remarkable
life of Meyrink allows him, and those who
knew him, to speak in their own words
wherever possible.

Tokyo Zombie
By Yusaku Hanakuma
Translated By Ryan Sands
Horror-comedy manga about two bluecollar factory workers and jiu-jitsu experts who
deal with a zombie uprising in Tokyo.
Fujio and Mitsuo dream of training in martial
arts overseas and becoming famous. When they
accidentally kill their boss, they bury him at
a man-made garbage mountain known as
Dark Fuji, where tons of rotting garbage have
been contaminated with industrial waste which,
naturally, transforms the bodies of the dead
into ravenous, flesh-eating zombies.
Fuji and Mitsuo try their best to survive in this
horrific new landscape, but the hapless pair
become separated after an idiotic mistake
involving potato chips and a stray dog.
OUTRAGEOUS ZOMBIE TALE SET IN
POST-APOCALYPTIC TOKYO
A few years later, post-apocalyptic Tokyo has
become feudalistic, and the rich have
enslaved the lower classes to create gladiator
death matches, pitting zombies against
slaves: here Fuji and Misuo meet again.

artist, including: childhood and schoolboy
sketches, first published drawings, illustrations,
graphic design, ads, the occasional painting,

Introduction By Steve Caballero
“Dirty Donny’s great! He drew some characters of us and I gotta
tell ya, I love ‘em to death.”– Kirk Hammett, Metallica
“Dirty Donny’s art is like the music of AC/DC. You can tell it’s
AC/DC by listening for half a second and you can tell it’s a Donny
by a glimpse. That unique recognizable style that can’t be copied.
And just like AC/DC, Dirty Donny kicks your ass!”
– Nicke Anderson, The Hellacopters
An eyeball-blistering hell-ride through the
monster mad art works of Dirty Donny
Gillies. Collecting a decade of freelance
work and a murderer’s row of contributors,
here are his record covers, poster art,
stickers, t-shirt designs, magazine covers,
pinstriping work and much more, including
SURFING TIKI ZOMBIES, SPACE DORKS,
TEENAGE BEATNIK HOODLUMS, AND MORE!

“Boyd Rice is a black pimp.”– Charles Manson
The first definitive, comprehensive
compendium of the works of Boyd Rice, the
provocative, controversial, underground
post-punk figure. In the 1980s, Rice emerged
as a cultural force promoting pranks, strange
cult films and industrial culture with ReSearch. His vanguard exhibition of found
photographs, readymade thrift store art, as
well as his endorsements of outsider music,
tiki culture and bygone pop culture, sealed his
reputation. He is notorious for his public
associations with nefarious figures including
Charles Manson and Anton LaVey. Includes:

The Evolution of New York
Graffiti Writing
Photographs By Martha Cooper
Foreword By Tobias Barenthin Lindblad
Tag Town is the first book to show early urban
tags (1963-82) in their context in NYC.
Tags are designed street names, written in the
public domain. Burrowing their way into the
big cities of the world, tags both annoy and
tell stories. Here, they tell of how the biggest
and most vital artistic trend of the late 20th
Century originated among young people.
The earliest tags in New York were developed
in Washington Heights and North Manhattan.
Cooper documented backyards, bridge
supports, parks and pedestrian tunnels with
the precision of an ethnographer when the
walls were still a forgotten gallery of tags
from the 60s and 70s.

Dexter Ward, a brilliant New England
antiquarian. Evil spirits, malefic gods whose
memories live on in whispered legends, still
lurk in vile catacombs beneath the surface of
a blighted land. Ward is driven to unleash
these loathsome horrors upon a defenseless
world, possessed by his demonic ancestor
Joseph Curwen, a warlock steeped in the
blackest arts of magic. Now Ward, too, must
master these obscene rituals and pay the
price in blood. Human blood.

Boy On Fire
A Novel by Carson Gilmore
By Carson Gilmore
Are creative young adults caught in a tragic
political cross-fire, dooming their talents?
Ethan McRae, a volatile and gifted high
school outcast, is failing his classes at North
Valley High. His abilities and talents conflict
with the impersonal, administrative structure
– and through his difficulties we glimpse the
public failure of education.
PASSIONATE NOVEL ABOUT THE
“NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND” ACT
Ethan becomes obsessed with the sexy sister
of Jesse Quinn, a flamboyant, outspoken
educational critic. Finding in Ethan a
kindred spirit, Jesse enlightens Ethan to the
truth of the public school’s corrupt
corporate and government arrangements of
greed. As the duo takes a stand to salvage
what little quality remains in the system,
vicious rumors, sexual pressures, sexual
confusions, alcohol and drug abuse
compound with the pair’s doubts and
shortcomings, spiraling them further into
isolation and hopelessness.
This unusual novel starkly documents the
destructive effect of the No Child Left
Behind program on talented and creative
American students.

Stand-up
Parklife
The World’s Funniest Quotes
100 Things to Do in a Park
By Nicotext
By Nicotext
Stand-up is a really, really funny book, and you’ll just
have to believe us! It contains some of the world’s
funniest quotes from some of the world’s funniest
comedians. Just take a look at these:
The dictionary says a park is a bounded area set aside
for recreation, but that sounds both boring and silly.
We all know that parks can be great fun for relaxation
and good times. Here, in five entertaining chapters,
are ideas on how you can create your best Parklife:
■
“I know what men want. Men want to be really, really close to
someone who will leave them alone.” – Elayne Boosler
■
“Women now have choices. They can be married, not married,
have a job, not have a job, be married with children, unmarried
with children. Men have the same choice we’ve always had: work,
or prison.” – Tim Allen
■
“I date this girl for two years – and then the nagging starts: ‘I
wanna know your name...’” – Mike Binder
■
Eat and drink – picnic, BBQs and more food fun
■
Nature – a park is nothing but a small forest
■
Sport and Games – fun stuff to do
■
Exercise – one, two, three, four!
■
Kids and Dogs – bring the little ones

The Guide to Doing ME!
Truth or Dare
and Doing Me Right
The Evil Version
By Nicotext
By Nicotext
Have you ever wished for a partner who knew exactly
how you wanted it in bed, without actually having to
talk about it? Or that you could speed up that whole
process of “getting to know each other” when you
meet someone new?
Truth or Dare is a classic! Answer questions and perform
dares and have the time of your life doing it!
This fill-out-book is designed to give your partner a
big clue about what you really want, so you can have
a great time in bed. Everybody has their favorites
and their least favorite moves, sensitive parts in
different places, turn-ons and turn-offs. Now you
can get what you want. Includes:
■
■
■
DARES
Make fart-sounds with your mouth, as loud as you can
■ Allow the other participants to use your cell phone for sending a
text message to any person in your address book
■ Say a mean, but true, fact about every participant
■
TRUTHS
■ If you could make a “one-hour sex-change”, what would you do?
■ What’s the bitchiest thing you’ve ever done?
■ How many people have you had sex with?
