The Quotable Drunkard Words of Wit, Wisdom, and Philosophy from the Bottom of the Glass

steven Kates

Here’s to glorious alcohol!

• This is the only book of quotations for—and about—drinkers

• Tough economy or no, consumption of liquor in the u.s. rose for the twelfth consecutive year in 2009—totaling 188.6 million 9-liter cases (Commodity online)

• Geeks Who drink represent the growing popularity of bar quizzes, drinks trivia, and other alcohol-related games

“I only take a drink on two occasions: when I’m thirsty and when I’m not.”

—Brendan Behan

From pubs, alehouses, wine bars, vineyards, across the table, and under the table flows a river of thoughts about drinking. Some of it is profound, some of it is funny, some of it is silly. But all of it is about that most wonderful of human inventions: alcohol.

From the ancient (“The man who isn’t jolly after drinking is just a driveling idiot to my thinking.” —Euripides) to the modern (“Alcohol—the cause of and the solution to all of life’s problems.” —Homer Simpson), here is wit, wisdom, and drunken ramblings about every alcoholic substance humans have used to enrich their lives, expand their creativity, and destroy their livers.

Mixed with classic drink recipes, short biographies of potable quotables, and information about favorite watering spots, The Quotable Drunkard is a treasure every drinker will be bound to keep—right next to the Beefeater.

Dude, You’re Gonna Be a Dad! How to Get (Both of You) Through the Next 9 Months

John Pfeiffer

How to man up during pregnancy

• it’s My Boys Can Swim for the Knocked Up generation

• rather than overly clinical (Mom already has What to Expect When You’re Expecting) or over-the-top (like What to Expect When Your Wife Is Expanding), it gives guys the lowdown on how they can, yes, actually help during her pregnancy

• adams Media’s father-to-be guides have sold more than 200,000 copies!

There are approximately 3,712 ways for a man to look stupid during pregnancy—Dude, You’re Gonna Be a Dad! is here to help readers avoid (most of) them. It loops guys in on what’s going on with her while focusing on what they should be doing for her.

Like any good coach, John Pfeiffer has been through it. He knows what a guy needs to do between the stick turning blue and the drive to the delivery room. And it’s more than throwing a coat of yellow paint on the spare bedroom’s walls (though that still needs to be done). On one hand, he needs to be responsive—there with a “You’re beautiful” and massage when she’s ballooned out, Sumo-style. On the other, he needs to ditch the “whatever you want, honey” mentality, grow a pair, and be assertive during the decision-making process. Or else he’ll wind up with a son named Percy.

Pfeiffer knows how to speak to his fellow man: straightforward and directly, with a few fart jokes tossed in. With this book as their guide, guys learn that she might be having the baby, but they have plenty of responsibilities.

Of Course You’re Still Cool, Honey dan Consiglio, with plenty of inspiration from his wife lauren

reminds women they’re not in it alone

• He thinks he’s being awesome; she’s lying her ass off. it’s how relationships work—and exactly what this book celebrates

• Women need to laugh as well—proven by the success of the Porn for Women series and Pat the Husband

• Perfect gift for, well, any woman in a relationship

• includes full-color photos of him at his (embarrassingly) best

It’s so hard being a man. There’s all those hectic scheduling issues. (Remember the fantasy draft/beer-league playoff double-booking debacle?) Then there’s his romantic side that never ceases to amaze. (Takeout and a UFC pay-per-view, anyone?) And don’t get us started on how he finds time to stay so fashion-forward. (Who would’ve known the socks-and-sandals look was making a comeback?) No wonder he only has time to throw his dirty underwear next to the hamper.

But it’s not always easy for these modern-day Supermen. They can have bad days too. That’s when the women in their lives really need to shower them with attention, tell them how great they are, and remind them that yes, Of Course You’re Still Cool, Honey.

Corny Raspberry MuffinsIt can be crazy around our house in the morning—people are rushing in every direction, getting dressed, packing backpacks for school, and eating breakfast. Having healthy muffins on hand is really nice when time is short and you all need to grab something that is fast and easy to eat. These are better for you—and the planet—than the drive-through any day!

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour• ½ cup yellow cornmeal• ½ cup packed brown sugar• 1 teaspoon baking powder• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ¼ teaspoon salt• 1¼ cups plain low-fat yogurt• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil• 1 teaspoon lemon rind, grated• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

• Non-stick cooking spray• 1 cup fresh raspberries• ½ teaspoon granulated sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.

2. Place a large bowl inside an even larger one. This will allow you to catch any spills of your dry ingredients so they aren’t wasted.

3. Measure flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add each to the bowl.

4. In a separate bowl, add yogurt and vegetable oil.

5. Use a lemon zester, microplane, or box grater to grate the lemon rind. Watch out—these are sharp!

6. Crack the eggs and add them to a separate small bowl. This will allow you to easily fish out any stray shells.

7. Lightly mix the eggs with a whisk or fork. Add the eggs to the yogurt mixture and stir to combine.

8. Pour the wet mixture to the large bowl of dry ingredients.

9. Stir until just blended. The dough won’t be nice and tender if you mix too much.

10. Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to spoon the batter into 12 muffin cups (coated with cooking spray).

11. Mix the raspberries and sugar in a small bowl.

12. Using a spoon, scoop even quantities of berries on to each muffin cup.

13. Bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins spring back when you touch them gently in the center.

14. Remove them from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes in the pan.

15. Transfer muffins from the pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Uncommon Courtesy The Basics of Good Behavior for a Badly Behaved World

Jennifer M. Wood

since when did crass become commonplace?

• The cue we need to be nicer neighbors, more courteous coworkers, friendlier customers, and just downright better human beings

• it’s a throwback manual with a modern edge as it rights today’s wrong behavior

• Perfect gift for anyone in need of a minor manner adjustment—from the recent college grad to that annoying friend who needs a hint

Uncommon Courtesy is the quick slap to the back of the head most people need nowadays. In a world that’s more likely to flip the bird than hold the door, it’s a reminder of proper behavior. Readers receive a (re-)schooling in manners with lessons split up by situation, then tackled by topic. Each note corrects conduct that’s become all too common, like . . .

Bad Behavior: Popping a piece of gum into your mouth midconversation, and stressing your point by snapping it.

courteous Fix: If you’re going to have a piece of gum while talking to someone, be sure to offer your companion a piece—and keep your mouth closed as you chew. You want your breath to be fresh. Not your attitude.

Uncommon Courtesy is a reminder that it wasn’t always out of place to be polite.

Jennifer M. Wood (New york, Ny) is a veteran journalist who’s dealt with plenty of rude people in order to get a story. Her ability to remain polite in response to such behavior is one she wishes to share with the world.

• ancient history is a really hot topic, as shown by the success of the Tv miniseries Rome, Pillars of the Earth, The Tudors, and Spartacus

• adams Media has a strong presence with history books including The Book of Bastards and Weird History 101

The Biggest Bastards of all Time!

When it comes to bastards, readers can’t beat the good old days of the Egyptian pharaohs, the Roman Empire, or Europe during the Dark Ages. The bastards of old abound—and they come in every color, creed, gender, and sexual preference.

From the cross-dressing cannibal emperor Elagabalus of Rome who was assassinated by his own grandmother to the icon-worshipping fanatical Empress Irene of Byzantine who gouged out her only son’s eyes, these are the malevolent malcontents who have truly survived the test of time.

Fact attack: Fish fuses with its mate!To mate with a female, the male anglerfish latches onto the side of his partner with his teeth and releases an enzyme that causes his body to fuse with hers. Eventually, her body completely absorbs his until nothing but his gonads remain dangling on her side. It’s not a tumor.

Filled with plenty of adventure and the unforeseen obstacle (or twelve), States of Confusion puts the reader in shotgun to see where the road takes Paul. All he knows—after crashing on the beer-soaked couch of his younger brother’s frat—is that there’s no going back.

Fresh out of school with a useless degree and eighty grand of debt, i had no idea what to do next. My parents wanted me to move home to Minnesota. My college girlfriend wanted me to propose. My heart didn’t want me to do either. oh, and just for good measure, the economy was tanking. i needed a plan.

Simple. i would leave it all behind—the temp jobs, the girlfriend, the debt. Well, not the debt. That’ll be following me around for the next two decades. The solution to my situation was to get behind the wheel and drive. i’d take my parents’ VW Eurovan on one epic road trip through all forty-eight contiguous states. That’d get me on track.

it’s quite possible that this trip would be the ballsiest thing i’d ever do in my life. it’s also quite possible that i had been drinking when i decided on this “plan.”

• Coauthor Natasha Burton is the relationships editor at Glo.com (2.1 million unique visitors per month) and has contributed to People, Glamour, Daily Variety, and outBlush.com

• Follows in the adams tradition of prescriptive-but-fun books such as Why Men Love Bitches (1,000,000+ sold) and I Used to Miss Him . . . But My Aim Is Improving (50,000+ sold)

She’s never met his friends: red flag.

Mom pays his rent: red flag.

He’s fake-and-baked orange: red frickin’ flag!

You’d think with such obvious warning signs, more women would know when to cut and run. They don’t. Instead they think, It’s not that bad, I can live with it, or—even worse—I can fix him! What a disaster. This Little Black Book will become every woman’s new best friend as it saves her from wasting time on a sinking ship.

It combines real advice with real anecdotes to get a real message across: He’s just not that good for you. Readers will laugh at their fellow females’ dating disasters (and cringe when they realize a few of their own). And by the end, they’ll understand that when the flaw’s that obvious, it’s best to walk—or, in most cases, run—away.

Yet, we continue to be fascinated by how they maintain an eighteenth century lifestyle in the twenty-first century and want to know their secret to leading modest, peaceful lives. What the Amish Know takes us inside their hidden world by answering the most important questions such as:

• What is rumspringa?• Do they pay taxes?• What is the significance of an Amish man’s beard?• What does it mean when someone has been shunned?• Why do they forbid anyone to photograph them?

With insights into their faith, family life, and thoughts on forgiveness, this all-encompassing guide will uncover the mysteries of the Amish and possibly inspire readers to live as simply as they do.

Janece o. Hudson, edd

Customized dream analysis for dreamers everywhere

• The only book to use psychology to help readers decipher their unique dreams

• The author is a certified hypnotherapist and former licensed psychologist who specializes in dream analysis

Falling. Being chased. Showing up to an important event late—and naked. Many have had these common dreams, but the meanings for each are unique. After all, someone who is afraid of heights would feel differently about falling then someone who works as a skydiving instructor. And someone who is perpetually late may feel differently about showing up late to an event than someone who never runs behind schedule.

Different dreams mean different things for different people. Certified hypnotherapist and former psychologist Dr. Janece O. Hudson uses the tools of her trade to offer customized dream analysis to readers who want to know what their dreams mean for them.

Part comprehensive guide and part interactive workbook, Into Your Dreams helps dreamers decode the secrets of their subconscious—and teaches them how to use these secrets to improve their lives. Because no one knows the power of a dream better than the dreamer.

The Bullsh*t artist Learn to Bluff, Dupe, Charm, and BS with the Best of ’Em

Paul Kleinman

How to be a jack-of-all-trades without knowing jack sh*t

• Teaches readers how to take control of a conversation— whether or not they actually have the smarts to back it up

• Comes to the rescue whether they’re working an angle in the office, spitting game at a bar, or just shooting the shit with friends

• Perfect for that amateur Bs-er in everyone’s life

Readers shouldn’t bother with the pick-up books or get-rich-quick schemes. Same with the confidence builders and brain boosters. They’re all crap. They need to be the ones doing the bullshitting rather than eating it up. The rewards will be tenfold—the success, the women, the attention—once they become the actual source rather than another bystander in the breadline of life.

To achieve that goal, they’ll be taught techniques on how to run a conversation and interject into a discussion—even if they’re clueless about the current topic. All they need is a kernel of truth and some confidence. After their crash course in talking the talk, readers are provided with those kernels of information that can be used to back up any argument, validate any assumption, and legitimize any rebuttal.

Forget being an annoying know-it-all. Readers will tap into real appeal once they become a skilled bullshit artist. Guaranteed.

Physics for Men The Science Behind Being a Guy

P. r. Kelt

The illustrated primer every guy needs

• reveals the complicated science behind a man’s most important decisions

• includes detailed illustrations on how men accomplish their most stupefying feats

• The one gift every guy needs

Who would’ve known there was so much thought behind a guy’s every move? Sure, he’s impressed bystanders with the lengths he’ll go in order to reach the remote without getting out of the recliner. But his mission’s success is just dumb luck . . . right? Better go to the replay.

Whereas a simpleton might think his foot kicking down on the magazine and sending the clicker sailing through the air and into his outstretched hand is a fluke—it’s actually a very calculated move. The angles of impact and trajectory were carefully thought out. Drag and resistance were factored in. And velocity was figured in order to time the catch perfectly. Not as easy as first thought.

Physics for Men shows readers that there’s a science behind being that awesome.

The Incontrovertible Code of (formerly) Unwritten Rules From Airline Armrest-Etiquette to Flushing Twice, 101 Universal Laws of Common Civility That We Wish Everyone Knew

alfred McdoGooder

The only etiquette book for the clueless!

• The only book to cover all the rules the etiquette books forgot

• 70 percent of americans believe people are ruder than they were twenty years ago (aPi)

• Perfect gift for oblivious friends and family members

Never hog both armrests when you fly.Don’t sit too close to fellow beach-goers.When you borrow someone’s car, fill it up with gas before you give it back.

These are the unwritten rules of life. Observe them, and one rises above the great unwashed. Observe them not, and one goes straight to trailer trash.

In this hilariously civil guide, readers learn all the principles of politesse our mothers tried to teach us—but some of us just weren’t listening. Those who weren’t will learn how to conduct themselves—at home, at work, and out and about in public spaces.

The Incontrovertible Code of (Formerly) Unwritten Rules: Because some rules should never be broken.

alfred McDoGooder (Boston, Ma) takes pride in having his own official code of conduct (stamped and signed by him) for all aspects of his life. He also believes oCd is an asset, not a liability.

The Soul Mate Myth A 3-Step Program to Finding Authentic Love—Without Settling

Jean Cirillo, Phd

Why finding love isn’t about finding the perfect match

• The only book debunking fables in favor of real-life love

• 94 percent of single adults want to marry their soul mate, but most never will and those who do are more likely to divorce than their peers (social Health of Marriage in america, CdC)

• The only book that informs women how to battle perfectionism and find love using brain chemistry.

From fairytales to HBO, society has conditioned women to believe in the myth of the soul mate. Now, Jean Cirillo, PhD, teaches readers to stop swooning over fictional hunks and dreamy stars—and remember what really makes a man worth loving for a lifetime. This practical book reveals conventional wisdom’s falsehoods about what works in a relationship and gets women to rethink love with fresh eyes. Readers learn how to:

• Separate the man from the myth• Get rid of unreasonable expectations without giving up on what’s

really important• Enjoy aspects of love and dating they’ve previously taken for granted• Love and be loved for the right reasons• Commit to a real-life man and build a lasting relationship

Armed with case studies of strong marriages and resilient love, The Soul Mate Myth exposes the lie of the perfect match and gives readers the tools they need to identify and pursue exciting—and attainable—new possibilities for love.

Jean Cirillo, PhD (Huntington, Ny) has more than twenty five years of experience as a practicing psychologist. she was the long-time staff psychologist for The Jenny Jones Show and has appeared as an expert guest on Fox News Live, The Montel Williams Show, The History Channel, and MsNBC. Jean has also served as president of the New york state Psychological association’s division of Women’s issues.

Signs from the Afterlife Are Everywhere . . .

. . . if readers only know how to look. in this groundbreaking book, readers discover how meaningful coincidence—synchronicity—plays a significant role in connecting with loved ones who have passed on.

Readers learn what to look for in their own contact experiences, how to connect with spirit guides and the spirit of the planet through Earth medicine, and how to interpret the synchronicities that often initiate spirit contact.

With noted New age bestselling authors Trish and Rob MacGregor as their guides, readers have the tools they need to detect those synchronicities that can lead to contact with the other side—contact that can provides much needed comfort, warnings, affirmations, and healings.

Synchronicity and the Other Side: because, indeed, the signs are everywhere—pointing the way to the answers only those who have passed on can give.
