Comedian Mitch Hedberg's creative legacy is celebrated in this collection of seventeen short stories inspired by his most loved jokes. An acid trip, a quest to reclaim the sesame seed, an underground association of sandwich enthusiasts, the first ever suburban koala infestation, a Nyquil-tipsy priest, a view from inside the parade, a very, very hungry diner, a girlfriend who isn't, and an apartment where every few feet is a bedroom, the seventeen stories in this anthology "yes, and" the jokes of late comedian Mitch Hedberg. At turns hilarious, poignant, silly, haunting, and rife with word play, What I Thought of Ain't Funny, an anthology of short fiction based on the jokes of Mitch Hedberg pays tribute to the imaginative ingenuity and the writing genius of Mitch Hedberg, opening up the ridiculous of this world, and hanging out with the complicated human beings who live inside it. With stories by: Hal Ackerman Janelle Bassett Dan Bern Jon Dunbar Allison Fradkin TJ Fuller Chisto Healy Maggie Nerz Iribarne Gracie Beaver-Kairis Marco Kaye Veronica Klash Bethany Marcel Jon Chaiim McConnell Katie Runde Jenn Stroud Rossman Amy Stuber Jennifer Wortman
An evil teddy bear, a mermaid, a robot daughter, a ghost child. A mother surrendering her baby to the crows. A child consumed by lice from the inside out. A father sending his selkie daughter back to the sea. These flash stories and essays explore the whispered side of parenting -the loss, fear, vulnerability, and deep, deep love that lurks underneath our day-to-day lives as mothers and fathers. One glimpse into 'And If That Mockingbird Don't Sing: Parenting Stories Gone Speculative,' and you'll never look at parenting in quite the same way again.
The information herein was accumulated of fifty some odd years. The collection process started when TV first came out and continued until today. The books are in alphabetical order and cover shows from the 1940s to 2010. The author has added a brief explanation of each show and then listed all the characters, who played the roles and for the most part, the year or years the actor or actress played that role. Also included are most of the people who created the shows, the producers, directors, and the writers of the shows. These books are a great source of trivia information and for most of the older folk will bring back some very fond memories. I know a lot of times we think back and say, "Who was the guy that played such and such a role?" Enjoy!

Andrew Ruzkowski investigates the complications of language in his long poem A Shape & Sound. The poet explores what words can do to us, in us, and for us. His love of writing, the world, and the beloved take us to a connected space. This long poem begs the reader to explore our collective and individual happenings.
The most beautiful moments are when we love and see love in unexpected places. We Love in Small Moments is a collection of snapshots into love, however that looks for you.
