3D (Massive Attack), Inkie, Nick Walker and
the other artists and musicians who were
instrumental in linking Bristol to the
original New York hip hop scene, Steve
Wright traces Banksy’s visual roots to the rave
culture of the 90s and draws a rounded
picture of his oeuvre and influences.

Bones into Dust
Merchants of Death
By Keiji Nakazawa
Translated by Project Gen
By Keiji Nakazawa
Translated by Project Gen
“Nakazawa’s graphic presentation of what it was like to survive the atomic
bombing of Hiroshima should be required reading for all citizens, beginning
with the President. Perhaps then we might gain the maturity to stop such
madness.” – Hunter and Amory Lovins, Friends of the Earth
“Gen effectively bears witness to one of the central horrors of our time. This
vivid and harrowing story will burn a radioactive crater in your memory that
will never let you forget it.” – Art Spiegelman
Starting a few months before the atomic bombing of
Hiroshima, this ten-volume saga shows life in Japan
after years of war and privations, as seen through the
eyes of seven-year-old Gen Nakaoka.
Volume Seven: A hard lesson about the politics of
memory. To honor the legacy of the A-bomb victims,
Gen helps publish an eyewitness account, which
angers US Army censors.
Barefoot Gen Volume 7
Bones into Dust
“Some of the best comics ever done... Nakazawa, I’m sure, will be considered
one of the great comic artists of this century.” – Robert Crumb
Volume Eight: A challenge of values. Gen is in
middle school with a progressive teacher and a
bright, cynical, classmate. Together they confront
the corrosive effects of drugs and the arms industry
on Hiroshima in the midst of the Korean War.

Indian By Choice
A Graphic Novel
By Amit Dasgupta
Art by Neelabh
“This graphic novel is a gift every urban Indian should give to an
NRI relative.” – Sashi Tharoor, author, The Great Indian Novel
A journey of self-discovery in a graphic novel
set in India.
Mandy – a young lad in Chicago – has grown
up suppressing his true Indian identity because
of his obsessive desire to be accepted by his
American friends in American society.
American by birth, he believes there is nothing
Indian about him, and denies his roots and his
culture at every turn. But when he is required,
under duress, to travel to India for a family
wedding, and despite his fears, doubts, distaste
and abhorrence of all things Indian, he finds
himself drawn into a world that seems strangely
familiar. Mandy realizes he has never truly
encountered his true Indian self before.
Through candid discussions, he confronts
his own fears and ignorance about India.
When it is time for him to return to the US,
he is increasingly reconciled with his
suppressed identity: Mandeep.
IDENTITY IN A SHRINKING WORLD
Amit Dasgupta is an Indian diplomat. Currently
guest faculty at Princeton University, he is an
Indian by birth and by choice.

It is the first book to put the struggle for
Palestine into a global context – to show how
all the pieces of this complicated political
jig-saw puzzle fit together – and the first
account of events to empathize with both
sides: with the real fear of diaspora Jews of
Holocaust II; and with the Palestinian right
to justice and self-determination – as well as
the anger of the Arab masses at American
support for Zionism that led to the
corruption and repression of the regimes of
the existing Arab Order.

The Neo-Catholics
Implementing Christian
Nationalism in America
By Betty Clermont
The first neoconservatives – Irving Kristol, Allan
Bloom, and Francis Fukuyama – based their
political thinking on the ideas of philosopher Leo
Strauss, an émigré from Nazi Germany, who said
the ideal state was one ruled by an intellectual
elite using religion to control the masses.
Though the Roman Catholic Church already
had centuries of success using similar methods,
applying the concept to the US was more
difficult, as conservative fundamentalists and
evangelicals were numerically necessary to
form the whole of the religious right.
History demonstrates, however, that the
effort was a success. Includes
How Catholics Paul Weyrich, Terry Dolan and Richard
Viguerie, with Howard Phillips (a Jew converted to evangelical
Christianity) established Falwell’s Moral Majority
■
■
■
How Weyrich and Edwin J. Feulner Jr. founded the
Heritage Foundation
How $$ came through the Knights of Malta’s William Simon,
Nixon’s Treasury Secretary, and William Casey, CIA Director
HOW THE NEO-CATHOLICS DID IT –
AND WHY
■ How Opus Dei-backed Popes John Paul II and
Benedict XVI lent moral authority to neoconservatives
■
How Neo-Catholic journalists Michael Novak, Fr.
John Richard Neuhaus and George Weigel invested
conservative projects with religious rectitude
Betty Clermont holds a certificate in theological
studies from Spring Hill, a Jesuit college. With
years in the employ of the Archdiocese of
Atlanta, she knows Catholic institutions
from the inside out. She has served as a
senior staff writer for Atlanta Progressive News, is
an editorial contributor to the Atlanta
Latino newspaper, and has written articles
for Voice of the Faithful, a group of lay Catholics
formed in response to the sex-abuse scandal.

Honor Yourself
The Inner Art of Giving
and Receiving
By Patricia Spadaro
“Patricia Spadaro is a marvelous guide through the inner realms of the
heart. I always feel uplifted by her words.” – Marianne Williamson,
#1 NYT bestselling author of A Return to Love
To give to others, must we give up ourselves?
How can we balance what others need with what
we need? This empowering, heartfelt book
deftly combines wisdom from the world’s great
traditions, real-life stories and a treasury of tools
into an inspiring guide to honoring ourselves.
While modern society is ill-equipped to provide
balanced answers to the query, the sages of
East and West are experts, and Honor Yourself
offers their practical, and surprising, advice.
With candor and compassion, Spadaro skillfully
exposes potent cultural myths about giving –
half-truths that prevent us from living a life
filled with possibility and passion – and shows
us how to turn every myth into magic.

So Good For Little Bunnies
By Brandi Milne
Be Be and her little bunny doll Ginger
Finley embark on a summertime journey to
Yummy Town Carnivale.
Along the way, they are joined by a big oaf
named Hoxie Clark, a one-eyed lemonade
vendor named Captain Solo and a nameless
surly beast. This nothing-but-fun adventure
is narrated with childlike abandon. The
untamed prose is filled with unusual
descriptions and unexpected detours that
may have adults scratching their heads but
will leave kids smiling with glee. Packed with
beautiful art and whimsical heart, this book
is sure to be so good for all the little bunnies
on your shopping list.

Brandi Milne was born and raised in
Anaheim, California, where she was exposed
to the sounds and sights of the 1970s
through the pumping family 8-track and her
mother’s wardrobe of flowing paisley. Her
love of funk was later mated with a curiosity
for the culture of the Far East, and her art
represents a melding of these two genres. A
self-taught artist, she has been involved in
the LA art scene for over four years and has
shown in many of the area’s top galleries.
The Late Fauna of Early
North America
The Art of Scott Musgrove
By Scott Musgrove
A fascinating anthro-artistic survey of what
might have been in America. Musgrove
brings wild idols, relics and bio-wonders
back to life and legitimacy in this handsome
volume. He details lush landscapes and upclose encounters with all manner of strange,
beautiful, and undiscovered creatures.

Scott Musgrove,
associated with modern Pop
Surrealists, is better aligned with the Hudson
River School painters Frederic Church,
Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Moran, and
naturalist artists like John James Audubon.
While primarily a painter, Musgrove
maintains hope for his breakout moment
when he befriends some sort of Sasquatch
and turns the status quo of science on its
ear. He lives in Seattle, WA.

The Art of Todd Schorr
By Todd Schorr
“Todd Schorr mosh pits discrete cultural icons and demonstrates
the recombinant nature of human imagination like a million Santas
climbing through a million chimneys at the same moment.”
– Leonardo and George DiCaprio
“A living god of the underground art realm, Todd Schorr’s
monstrous masterpieces dwell almost exclusively in the rarefied
world of the moneyed art collector.” – Juxtapoz Magazine
The latest collection by one of contemporary
surrealism’s most influential artists, American
Surreal picks up where Dreamland left off.
Impeccably-rendered subject matter is the
hallmark of Schorr’s outrageous vision as he
brings classic, old-master painting technique
to his pop culture-infused subject matter.

Stalking the Tricksters
Shapeshifters, Skinwalkers,
Dark Adepts and 2012
By Christopher O’Brien
The hidden cultural subject of tricksters,
redefined from a new, fresh perspective: Are
tricksters using knowledge of collective
superstition to inhabit and manipulate the
modern world?
Cryptids, elementals, werewolves, vanishing
hitchhikers, demons and dancing devils have
permeated human belief for millennia, but
today, very little is publicly known about The
Trickster persona. But why not? And who
are they? What is their agenda? Graced by
many names, including fools, sages, coyotes,
Loki, men-in-black, skinwalkers, shapeshifters
jokers, jinn, sorcerers, and witches,
Tricksters can provide us a direct conduit to
the unknown in the 21st Century. Can these
denizens of phenomenal events be attempting
to communicate a warning to humanity in
this uncertain age of prophesized change?
O’Brien uncovers intriguing accounts that
suggest there are, indeed, beings walking
among us able to utilize fantastic abilities.
WHY IS THERE A TRICKSTER
IN EVERY CULTURE?
Christopher O’Brien investigates the mysterious
San Luis Valley (CO/NM), America’s most
anomalous region, and his Mysterious Valley book
series and numerous TV appearances have
been appreciated by millions. He has spent 13
years in the field chasing UFOs, Bigfoot,
prairie dragons and other fantastic tricksterlike phenomena.

Eden in Egypt
A Translation of the Book of
Genesis Out of the Original
Egyptian Text
New Revised Edition
By Ralph Ellis
The Bible says that a river flowed through
the Garden of Eden and then split into four
branches. There is only one river in the
Near East that does exactly this, and that is
the long oasis-garden of the Nile and valley
and its division into the original four
branches of the Nile Delta.
This observation is the core of Ellis’
extraordinary retelling of Genesis, in which
Adam and Eve were actually Akhenaton and
Nefertiti. Even Genesis is a distillation of
Akhenaton’s original Hymn to the Aten. Thus,
the Garden of Eden was originally the
Garden of Aten (Akhenaton’s god), and it is
located at Amarna in Middle Egypt.

Ellis also demonstrates that Hebrew is a

Aztec Christic Magic
Gnostic Kabbalah and Tarot in the American Mysteries
By Samael Aun Weor
The Kabbalistic wisdom hidden in the Aztec Pantheon. When human beings lost
their transcendental faculties and abandoned ancient wisdom, they degenerated
and now suffer the pains of modern life. But Quetzalcoatl, the Cosmic Christ, can
radically transform us all into the super-humans we might still become. The most

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology
Gnosis, Self-observation and Esoteric Psychology
By Samael Aun Weor
One of the last of Weor’s books, synthesizing his life’s work, including the true basis
of spiritual regeneration: all circumstances that occur outside ourselves are the
reflection of our thoughts, so our exterior is the reflection of our interior. When we
change internally, spiritually, then our circumstances, our lives, and our externals
also change.

always a successful one!
To achieve an optimum diet and physical
fitness, however, lifestyle changes are
necessary – yet so difficult. Naturopathic
medicine has recognized this challenge in
establishing lifestyle counseling as a
founding principle of this form of medical
practice. Here Dr. Rouchatas simplifies
information so that changes in how we eat
and exercise can be easily and permanently
made. Includes

The Story of America’s Annexation
of the Nation of Hawai’i
Second Edition
By Tom Coffman
“...the best book written on America’s annexation of Hawaii.” –
Elinor Langer, Nation Magazine
“...how and why the United States annexed Hawaii in 1898 ... dispels
the belief that annexation was a benign and inevitable process of selfdetermination.” – Edward Crapol, College of William and Mary
A compelling story of American imperialism,
this is a new vision of Hawaiian history which
dispels myths and denials.
“How did the distant island kingdom of Hawaii
become part of the US?” This question has new
urgency today because of Native Hawaiian
demands for a restoration of self-government.
Contrary to perceived common knowledge, the
1898 US takeover of this independent nation
of long standing was America’s first venture
into overseas imperialism, the antecedent to
the colonization of the Philippines, and,
currently, the occupation of Iraq. After the
1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy,
the interim government borrowed heavily
from the Jim Crow American South. In
1895, Hawaiians revolted, but the imperialist
ideas of the Secretary of the Navy Theodore
Roosevelt and the American sea power
advocate, Alfred Mahan, took hold.

When Natural Cures for
Cancer Became Illegal;
The Historical Autobiogaphy of
Harry Hoxsey, ND
By Harry Hoxsey
An historical account of the battle between
Naturopath Harry Hoxsey and the AMA and
the FDA.
Harry’s father had a cancerous horse on his
Illinois farm; it ate in a different pasture
from the rest of the herd and was cured, and
Hoxsey’s dad was inspired to investigate why.
On his deathbed, Harry’s father asked his son
to make natural herbs with cancer-curative
properties available to the public. For the rest
of his own life, this dedicated naturopath
battled traditional medicine in one of the
longest legal wars in history. Eventually Dr.
Hoxsey won his day in court with the AMA
and proved that the Hoxsey formulas cured
cancer. Within days, the FDA padlocked 17
Hoxsey therapy clinics in major US cities, so
the clinic was moved to Tijuana, Mexico,
where it operates today. Includes

Change your life with this amazing emotional
makeover regimen!

reactions, causing anxiety, stress, and
unsatisfying relationships. Release the invisible
self-limiting conflicts that hold you back.
Feel-good pharmaceuticals merely cover up
the problems caused by fear, but the special
use of a simple physical/mental exercise –
discovered by pioneer Roger Callahan – can
switch off the mind-body alarm systems that
result in emotional reactivity (fight or flight
response). Learn the latest scientific evidence
and behavioral-health discoveries which link

My Guru in Disguise
By Priya Mookerjee
True story of how a mother and daughter
inadvertently become each other’s spiritual
gurus.
A daughter witnesses the profound inner
changes that her mother experiences and
chooses a different spiritual path – but ends
up becoming closer to her mother than she
could have imagined. The charting of this
relationship, with all its joys and conflicts,
the loss and the pain, and, ultimately, the
healing and reconciliation, mirrors the
relationship of so many mothers and
daughters.

“My mother was a woman whose intense love of
God consumed her to such a degree that she
abandoned her traditional role as wife and
mother. She came from one of India’s foremost
families, the Tagores. She was beautiful, talented
and creative, even gifted, but had no interest in
pursuing a career. Her entire life was a personal
struggle between her quest for God and the
demands of family life. She was mysterious and
mystical, unconventional and detached. And
there was something deeply moving about her
complete submission to Divine Madness.”

Witch
A Celtic Memoir
By Rochelle Moore
A personal account of a life as a Witch, with
information and advice for anybody
interested in The Craft.
Witches are born as Witches, and Rochelle
Moore was born in Ireland into a family of
healers, artists, poets and nature lovers. Her
Great-Grandmother, Georgina Maguire,
was a renowned Celtic wise woman, muse
and fortune-teller. People came from all
over Ireland to visit her, and it’s from her
that Rochelle learned The Craft.
The image and idea of the Witch has gone
through numerous transformations over the
ages, and definitions of what constitutes a
Witch vary greatly from country to country.
However, Witches have always been associated
with healing, natural remedies and divination.
Filled with fascinating information on Witch
rituals, rites and tools, chapters also include:

to develop her talent in her early teens. Her
unusual traits transcended her years and it
was not long before she was recognized as a
gifted Witch.

I Malavoglia
Mr Dick or The Tenth Book
The House by the Medlar Tree
Fourth Edition
By Jean Pierre Ohl
By Giovanni Verga
Translated by Judith Landry
“I Malavoglia obsessed me from the moment I read it. And when the chance
came I made a film of it, La Terra Trema.” – Luchino Visconti
“A tragic tale of poverty, honour and survival in a society where the weak go
to the wall unmourned.” – The Sunday Times
A landmark of Italian literature, rich in character,
emotion and texture, a sincere study of society in an
epic struggle against poverty and the elements.
Told in expressive language based on Sicilian
dialect, this is the story of

the fierce battle against
The House by the

poverty by the fishermen
Fourth Edition
of Sicily’s Aci Trezza.
“A captivating novel which will make you want to read Dickens.” – Lire
“A totally brilliant novel.” – Le Nouvel Observateur
“Jean Pierre Ohl makes a remarkable debut.” – Figaro
A tour de force of distorted reality with a story-withina-story and a game-playing narrative.
Ohl blends Charles Dickens and characters from his
novels into a quest to discover the ending of
Dickens’ last novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood, left
uncompleted at the author’s death. Ohl’s narrator is
inspired by the opening line of David Copperfield –
“Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether
that station will be held by anybody
else, these pages will show.”

A Bit of a Marriage
By Karina Mellinger
“With plenty of infidelities and a dying mother in the second-best
guest bedroom, this satire on romantic fiction is delightfully cringemaking and deliciously embarrassing. Perhaps the era of bitch-lit is
upon us.” – S.B.Kelly in Scotland on Sunday
“Laura’s ten-point plan to marry David is one of the funniest and
saddest things I have read in a while. This is a dark, toothy,
elegant winner.” – Philip Womack in The Literary Review
“The light and chirpy writing and exaggerated characters are
strangely compelling despite their actions ... funny...” – The Big Issue
A thoroughly jaundiced black comedy, one
of those rare books without a single likeable
character, and all the better for it. Bitchlit, indeed.
Stress for Laura Denver-Barrette consists of
wondering whether to have the dining room
done ‘in a pinky shade of red or a reddy
shade of pink,’ but she has a problem. She
loathes her husband David, a boring lawyer
who leaves bits of butter in the jam, among
other despicable acts. This is tricky, though,
because it is his money that enables her to
live as she does. Laura’s ghastly mother, the
fortune-telling, Harrods-shopping Lydia,
isn’t much help, but at least she keeps her
mouth shut when she catches David in bed
with the Russian house cleaner. What will
Laura do, apart from flinging herself on a
hapless estate agent?

A rare species in Romania, prose poetry has produced
astounding work including Rimbaud’s Illuminations and
Baudelaire’s Paris Spleen. Twisted Spoon presents three

Tomb for 500,000 Soldiers
New Revised Edition
By Pierre Guyotat
Introduction by Stephen Barber
“One of the most essential books of our time.” – Michel Foucault
“Pierre Guyotat is violent, transgressive and inspired. He is the last
great avant-garde visionary of the 20th Century.” – Edmund White
This unique elision of brutal warfare and
sexual ecstasy is acclaimed as a great modern
French novel. Completed when its author
was only 25 – and never before published in
English – this brilliant new version retains
all of the original’s detonating sensory power.
Guyotat hallucinated the novel as a young
soldier during the Algerian War, as he gazed out
at night from a desert watchtower. Coalescing
elements from mythology, Lautréamont’s
Maldoror and Luis Bruñel’s Los Olvidados, he
assembled a vision of contemporary life as a
relentless display degradation, in which only
catastrophic eruptions of atrocity in depraved
sex acts possess meaning for the book’s
lacerated human figures.

First English translation of the most disturbing Rampo

literary example of the Japanese erotic-grotesque genre.
A deranged, scarred, sightless sculptor kidnaps a model

sculpted eyes and body parts before dismembering
her in a blood-orgy. He then goes on a killing
spree, which culminates in a grisly art exhibition.

“This book beguiled me, and made me wish entirely that I lived in
Pat Geary’s imagination.” – Diane Wakoski
“Patricia Geary is a remarkably vivid writer.” – Fantasy Review
“There are only a few books in any decade that tip the reader into
a whole new, vicarious life, and Strange Toys is one of them.”
– Tim Powers
A stunningly original, penetrating novel
blending the real and unreal, the fantastic
and the mundane, in a story of love, power,
and the occult.
A young woman is on a difficult, dangerous
journey. Pet is her name. At nine, she
struggles to protect her family from the
horrors predicted in her strange older sister’s
book of secrets – horrors that indeed come
true. At sixteen, Pet hunts down her older
sister to wreak vengeance – or something
else. At thirty, Pet attains strength and power
enough to protect her from the present –
but not from her sister’s raging past.

Burdened with go-nowhere jobs and a lowdown single pad off Sunset, Eli hungers for
full-time commitment. When he meets sexy,

explode sexually. Pregnant after the first

A new, humorous, crime thriller, positively
compared to the work of Hiaasen, Westlake
and Leonard.
To protect her daughter and herself from
her steroid shooting, pro-ballplayer exhusband, Alex enlists the help of her new
neighbor, an exciting, dangerous outlaw, the
leader of a band of thieves. Though Alex
doesn’t want to admit it, she finds that the
thieves – a motley, off-key bunch – are far
more likeable and not nearly as dangerous as
her ex-husband. Unfortunately, the thieves
have problems of their own trying to stay
ahead of the cops and a wealthy congressman
with a grudge.
YOUR EX IS TRYING TO KILL YOU, AND YOUR
ONLY SAVIOR IS THE CRIMINAL NEXT DOOR
Alex worries that she’s traded one giant
problem for another because the big secret
she’s been keeping – the one that her ex
would kill her to get – is also something
every thief would want to know. But everyone
has problems, right?

Run a Crooked Mile
A Mystery Novel
By Janet LaPierre
“I so enjoyed Run a Crooked Mile that I rationed myself to a few
chapters a night, and was sorry to see it end. The plotting is tight,
the characters – including Tank, the Labrador retriever – fully
realized, the Northern California setting to die for.” – Deborah
Crombie, author, Where Memories Lie
“LaPierre is a master storyteller, and Run a Crooked Mile is one of
her best. I’m already hoping that Rosemary Mendes and Tank can
be talked into a reappearance soon.” – Louise Ure, Shamus
Award- winning author, The Fault Tree
Rosemary Mendes, looking for a new life
after her husband’s death, believes she has
found a refuge in California’s remote
Trinity Alps. She’s not looking for Eden,
just a place where she can live alone in
peace. Contrary to her intentions, she is
drawn into the life of the small community.
And she has a growing sense of identification
with another newcomer she can never meet,
a young woman found shot dead in the
forest, whose dog, Tank, she adopts.
SHE CAME NORTH FOR REFUGE,
BUT NOW SHE’S OBSESSED WITH
A DEAD WOMAN IN THE WOODS
Like Rosemary, the mystery woman came to
the Trinities to live a self-sufficient life, but
women who don’t conform to familial and
societal expectations can expect to be
bothered, and more. Rosemary’s efforts to
learn more about Wandering Girl – the
murdered woman’s e-mail alias – prove both
successful and dangerous.

Docketful of Poesy
A Poetic Death Mystery
By Diana Killian
“Diana Killian is in top form. In this charming series she combines
the best of traditional English mystery-writing with just the right
dash of romantic suspense. She can’t write fast enough for me!”
– Dean James, Agatha and Macavity Award-winning author,
By a Woman’s Hand
“Full of wit, charm, and perfectly planned suspense ... everything a
reader could want. Any fan of Elizabeth Peters should grab this
with both hands and prepare for an exquisite treat!”
– Tasha Alexander, A Fatal Waltz
Theater of the Absurd takes on a whole new
meaning when former teacher and Byron
scholar Grace Hollister is hired as a script
doctor for a cable film production.
Hollywood wants to film Grace’s book on her
academic and extracurricular exploits on
location in the Lake District. At first, Grace
revels in reflected glamor and her reunion
with boyfriend Peter Fox, antique dealer and
former jewel thief. However, although the
film’s budget seems boundless, no one in the
cast or crew seems to have much experience
making movies. It’s almost comical...until
history begins to repeat itself, and it’s
curtains for more than one of the cast.
MURDER IN THE ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT
Diana Killian, like her protagonist, is a former
HS teacher, as well as the author of three
previous Poetic Death mysteries: High Rhymes
and Misdemeanors, Verse of the Vampyre, and Sonnet of
the Sphinx, as well as the new Mantra for Murder
series. She sings with The Browne Sisters, a
Celtic folk group, and lives in Southern
California with her husband, Kevin Burton
Smith, founder/editor of The Thrilling
Detective website.

The Band CRIME
Punk77 Revisited
A Photographic Look at
the band Crime and Punk
By James Stark
“In the spirit of prototypic street photographers Mary Ellen Mark,
Diane Arbus, and Weegee, these punk images show adolescence
as that fleeting time of malleable identity and experimentation.”
– Flaunt Magazine, 2007, on James Stark’s photography in
Punk77
100 photographs of one of the earliest punk
rock bands, documenting, in particular, the
legendary Crime.
Before punk, there were two San Francisco
bands which laid the groundwork for punk’s
look and attitude: Crime and The Nuns.
These photos focus on the visual look that
was a large part of the group’s appeal, as
members of Crime took great care with their
appearance. It was common for them to
create a different look for each of their shows.

Outsider Art and Folk Art have been gaining

femininity and remakes them in the name of
sex. She lives in Marina Del Rey, in LA, CA.

men think are great, but women just don’t seem to

natural ability to pick up on and tell bad jokes.
Luckily, most of the time they’re funny, even in a
bad way. Here are enough old and new bad jokes to
satisfy any macho man and his friends.
Don’t forget to tip the waitress...and then

solidly positional to wildly attacking.
