Book Description
The albino rhino is a special rhino. He doesn’t look like the other rhinos—his skin is white, and he wears sunglasses. He is not well-liked by the rhinos his age because he is different. One day, he finds out that the zebras are going to attack the rhinos. There was a drought, so there is very little water left to drink. The zebras want to get all the water from the rhinos and keep it for themselves. Even if the albino rhino feels bad, he finds a way to stop the battle and helps everyone realize that instead of fighting over who gets the water, they should unite and share it among themselves. With a simple and courageous act, the albino rhino helps his fellow animals realize this important lesson: We can all look different, but we can still live in harmony.

Full Frontal Nudity
Author: Harry Hamlin
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439170010
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
IN 2008, as he attempted to enter Canada to film a television series, Harry Hamlin—the former star of L.A. Law and once People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive—was detained at the border for unresolved narcotics convictions. And so begins Full Frontal Nudity, a laugh-out-loud-funny memoir in which Harry digs deep into his past to recount the wacky experiences of his childhood, the twisted path that led to his alleged criminal behavior, and the series of fortuitous mishaps that drove him to become an actor. Harry was reared in suburban California in the late 1950s by a gin-gulping, pill-popping housewife mother and a rocket scientist father with a secret life. On its surface, his childhood was not unlike his peers’, except that he was kicked out of the fourth grade for writing a book report on Mein Kampf and, when he was eleven, his parents gave him a subscription to Playboy for Christmas. Curious by nature, chock-full of boyish charm and good looks, Harry experimented with mystical religion and set off for Woodstock, only to narrowly avoid lighting the whole of Yellowstone National Park on fire. At eighteen, he was ready to matriculate at Berkeley and become the architect he always wanted to be. But fate—this time in the form of a large Hells Angel, a few purple microdots, and an evening in the tree houses of La Honda—got in the way. Sharp and bawdy, Full Frontal Nudity spans the years from Harry’s childhood through his time at Berkeley (which he was asked to leave after he was accused of running a brothel), to Yale, then on an extended vacation in the Yucatán, and finally to the American Conservatory Theater, where Harry played his first lead role—as the buck-naked star of Equus. Full Frontal Nudity is an uproarious memoir that captures an era and describes the unlikely origins of a star.

This main character can change his molecular structure at any time into anyone or anything. He is devoid of compassion and love. Story 6 is a writing of a woman who needs a shining white night. What she gets is an albino rhino that kills evil people. The cops are blaming the woman. Story 7 is about a worldwide blackout that lasts for ten months. It reveals how people resort to primitive ways and evil. It's a story of rape, murder, mate swapping, cannibalism, and self-preservation.

Chicken
Author: David Henry Sterry
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1593765673
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
I walk all the way up Hollywood Boulevard to Grauman's Chinese Theatre: past tourists snapping shots; wannabe starlets sparkling by in miniskirts with head shots in their hands and moondust in their eyes; rowdy cowboys drinking with drunken Indians; black businessmen bustling by briskly in crisp suits; ladies who do not lunch with nylons rolled up below the knee pushing shopping carts full of everything they own; Mustangs rubbing up against muscular Mercedes and Hell's Angels hogs. It's a sick twisted Wonderland, and I'm Alice. Here is a story like no other: The unforgettable chronicle of a season spent walking the razor-sharp line between painful innocence and the allure of the abyss. David Sterry was a wide-eyed son of 1970s suburbia, but within his first week looking for off-campus housing on Sunset Boulevard he was lured into a much darker world — servicing the lonely women of Hollywood by night. Chicken—the word is slang for a young male prostitute—revisits this year of living dangerously, in a narrative of dazzling inventiveness and searing candor. Shifting back and forth from tales of Sterry's youth—spent in the awkward bosom of a disintegrating dysfunctional family—to his fascinating account of the Neverland of post—sixties sexual excess, Chicken teems with Felliniesque characters and set pieces worthy of Dionysus. And when the life finally overwhelms Sterry, his retreat from the profession will leave an indelible mark on readers' minds and hearts.

Weird Moments in Cleveland Sports

Pages : 206
Book Description
Cleveland sports fans: If you can’t laugh about it, what else are you gonna do? Cleveland sports teams have set records for futility in baseball, football, and basketball. But even beyond that, Cleveland sports fans have witnessed more than their share of weird, wild, random, and odd occurrences, from front office ineptitude to absurd losses to bizarre injuries and more. Like the Cavs player who accidentally scored a layup in the wrong basket (and another who shot at his own basket on purpose) … The testy Tribe manager who got into a fight during an exhibition game with the Triple-A farm team … The Browns owner who took advice from a random stranger on the street and blew a first-round draft pick on “Johnny Football” … The rookie pitcher shot in the leg while riding on the team bus wearing a cheerleader outfit and go-go boots … The team owner once called “the dumbest man in pro sports” … One Browns star whose season-ending injury came while popping a wheelie and another whose eye was nearly put out by a referee’s flag … The Indians player who was traded for himself … A victory owed to a timely swarm of insects … The Cavaliers’ first draft, planned using bubble-gum cards … When Tribe mascot Slider fell off the outfield wall into live action during a playoff game … Phew! And we’re just getting started. (We haven’t even mentioned 10-Cent Beer Night yet.) If you’re a Cleveland sports fan, you’ll enjoy this offbeat collection.
