Klutzhood by Chris McMahen Pdf

Arlo thinks his mother is crazy for taking a job in a small town, far away from his old home and his good friends. To make matters worse, the students at his new school are crazy—hockey crazy. Arlo has never laced up a pair of skates in his life, and he's not about to start. To avoid making a complete fool of himself in front of his classmates, Arlo joins a group of misfits called the Dumpster Dudes, who set him a series of wild initiation tests that unleash mayhem on the school. Broken windows in the classrooms, angry ants in the hallways, bicycles in the library and monsters in the air ducts—can East Bend Elementary survive Arlo? And will Arlo survive East Bend?

Social Studies by Jon Peirce Pdf

Just let me turn down that armadillo steak I'm cooking for dinner; then I'll be right with you. Such an easy recipe. You should try it. You just soak your 'dillo meat in a pint of bourbon in which you've been soaking a cup of cactus needles overnight. Keep the 'dillo meat soaking for about two weeks, until it starts to turn good and high. You'll know it's ready when you can get through it fairly easily with a hatchet. . . If you thought the essay was dead, think again. In the hands of Jon Peirce, a writer with a wicked imagination, strong social conscience, and a keen sense of the absurd, the time-honoured genre takes many different forms. The essays in this book range from short, rapier-like skewerings of political hypocrisy and injustice to a leisurely exploration of the metric system and its implications for writers. In between you will find many pieces that will make you laugh, a few that will make you cry, and some that will leave you shaking your head in wonderment. Enjoy...

A Matter of Context by Tom Kelly Pdf

"What this book attempts to do, is to discuss some of the changes, and some of the changes to the changes, that occur from time to time for what appears to be no reason whatsoever. Nobody truly understands turkeys all of the time, in all of their configurations. Nobody--and that includes you and me. All we can do is swing the bat and hope."

How to Tell God from the Devil by Arthur Roy Eckardt Pdf

How to Tell God From the Devil is the first book to depict the relationship among comedy, the Devil, and God. Drawing from Jewish and Christian theories, Eckardt describes comedy as a means to distinguish the divine from the diabolic. He presents a thorough critique of efforts throughout history to justify God in the presence of radical evil and suffering. How to Tell God From the Devil is a sequel to Eckardt's fascinating earlier study Sitting in the Earth and Laughing. Eckardt employs a variety of historical, psychological, sociological, philosophical, and theological sources. He discusses and assesses such diverse figures as Martin Luther, Reinhold Niebuhr, Zen Buddhists, Conrad Hyers, Nancy A. Walker, Jon D. Levenson, and Harvey Cox. How to Tell God From the Devil is an exceptional work, and will be significant and enjoyable for sociologists, theologians, philosophers, and specialists concerned with the study of humor.

But when the paper starts to wreak havoc at the school, Principal Baumgartner shuts it down and assigns Trixi to Saturday morning bus-washing duty. To redeem themselves, Martin and Trixi resolve to create one very special edition of the Upland Green Examiner.
