“He was a member of his own club, the sole member, the charter member who founded the club of one; he was its president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. One virgin. The One Virgin Club.” This describes Kirk, the main character from Richard Stickann's new novel Hobbledehoy Boy. He's a boy who just can't get the coming of age thing right. Kirk's main nemesis, but not his only one, Sister Mary Norbert, knows everything about sins of the flesh and wayward boys, but she never answers Kirk's questions. And the girls who enter his life, the ones who frequently become his adversary, throw up confusion in every direction. He can't speak their language, doesn't get their jokes, and just when he thinks one finally likes him, he discovers she's just using him for practice. Kirk's status as a hobbledehoy, continually worsens because of his circumstances. Growing up on the South side of Chicago in the 60's, in a heavily Catholic neighborhood, and in the shadow of his father's untimely death, leaves Kirk wading through the murky waters of sin and confession, fearful of getting “in deep shit with God.” His only role model is his wayward, pot-growing, STD-dodging, somewhat misogynistic older brother, Hump, who tries to lead Kirk into “adulthood,” but grows ever weary of his brother's fear and awkwardness. Even when events transpire that lead Kirk to believe he will finally learn what women are about, what sins of the flesh are and why the nuns are so scared of them, something always seems to go hopelessly wrong. From a small bladder to Fig Newtons, a horny dog and ridiculous bunny slippers, outside influences always conspire to block his every move. Kirk spends much of his waking life trying to figure out who to blame for being a perpetual hobbledehoy. Will Kirk ever escape? He desperately hopes so, but somehow it seems even the neighborhood itself is conspiring against him by forcing him to remain inside its confines of past regret.

Uncle Henry Wallace written by Henry Wallace and has been published by Purdue University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2008 with Biography & Autobiography categories.
Back in print for the first time in over a century, the real heart and soul of the eldest Henry Wallace is revealed in his open letters to America's farm families. These homespun, secular epistles show that Wallace never lost sight of his roots even as he hobnobbed with U.S. Presidents from Teddy Roosevelt to Woodrow Wilson, anchored the prestigious Country Life Commission, and edited the most famous agricultural magazine of its day, Wallaces' Farmer. Who better to yoke the sacred, agrarian arts of stewardship, husbandry, and parenting than writer-philosopher-farmer-conservationist-minister-educator-public benefactor extraordinaire Uncle Henry Wallace, the man who planted the seeds of honorable public service in his own world-famous son and grandson, Secretary of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace and Vice President and Presidential candidate Henry A. Wallace, respectively. Culled from more than a half dozen volumes of Wallace's writing for farm families, Uncle Henry Wallace: Letters to Farm Families captures the spirit of a man journalist Ray Stannard Baker called "a sort of oracle for advice on everything from the best ways of feeding calves to bringing up boys." Compiled and introduced by fourth-generation Iowa farmer's son Zachary Michael Jack, himself the great-grandson of famed agricultural writer Walter Thomas Jack, these timeless, down-to-earth missives that are meant to be shared, then as now, between farm-loving grandparents and grandchildren, parents and children, and teachers and students of all ages.

This re-issue of Julian Franklyn's classic dictionary not only defines these expressions but also explains their origin and history. An introductory essay examines the roots and development of rhyming slang. Although many people assume that rhyming slang is exclusively Cockney, Franklyn illustrates how it is common to Australian and Americn dialects. From the unlikely to the bizarre, the 1,500 entries both entertain and enlighten. Cartoons enliven a reference section which combines linguistic detail and cultural analysis. Whether reading the dictionary from cover to cover, or dipping into it as a reference tool, linguists and students of popular culture will find it the definitive source of information on rhyming slang.
