Description

David Thorne is an Australian humourist, satirist, Internet personality and New York Times best-selling author. Getting your goat, taking the piss out of you, there are all these terms that mean the same thing as trolling, and there are all these terms because people have been doing it forever. This wonderful bumper-size colouring-in book for children features simple black and white illustrations of wildlife from our present environment as well as the distant past, all ready to be coloured in. Though I think my favorite is when Thorne records himself humming a score of songs and TV theme tunes, burns them on CD, then creates a package for it all and sends it to a bunch of friends as "David Thorne Hums the Theme to Space 1999 and Other Christmas Classics.

A bumper book of fun puzzles celebrating every aspect of Britishness from Britain's King of Puzzles - perfect to relax, de-stress and unwind, perhaps with a cup of tea! I read this in the car to my husband as we drove to a mall – where we both arrived with puffy, red crybaby faces – hiccupping like deranged leprechauns.Sort of like he's not even fishing, he's just walking around a lake when a particularly stupid fish jumps out of the water and bites down on his pant leg. His extensive repertoire includes such classics as Dave Gunson's New Zealand Wildlife, Kiwi of the Great Forest and The Lost Worlds of Aotearoa. From the sophisticated cyber cafes to the burgeoning outcrops of the information superhighway comes a whole new heap of hard copy joke e-mails. Of course, some of his more famous exchanges don't need a whole lot of backstory to work ("Missing Missy" is perhaps his most famous, and for good reason).

Des MacHale is the best-selling author of over thirty humor books, including the hugely successful series of Wit books. Again, I couldn't help myself and had to read one of the stories out loud, and keep wanting to use some of his best one liners in conversation. He gives the class nits, encounters a demon dinner lady, does his best to sabotage the school sports day, finds ingenious ways to get round doing his homework and reading books, and is publicly mortified by a pair of pink underpants.And the pages are even perforated, so that the completed drawings can be easily removed from the book and displayed with pride for friends and family to see. Because the troller only cares about your reaction, not the actual issue at hand, if you remove your reaction, there's nothing left. More than simply a space lined with shelves, Harry Hartog is a meeting place between the worlds found inside books and the world around us.

I'd like to summarize these lessons in a simple X Point Plan [I'm putting X because I'm making this up as I go, and I don't know how many points I'll have.

For one thing, the ridiculous essays are gone, replaced with true-life tales of both his home life and his experiences with nearly cheating death. In this book, the more someone argued with Thorne, the more passionate and wordy they were, the better it was for Thorne.

He even takes on Human Resources when the obnoxious, ego-maniacal coworker and silly-headed secretary file complaints.

If you've got a troller that you have to address for whatever reason, there's no way around it, the answer is to be the sincerest, kindest idiot on the planet. Thorne – he’s behind some serious meme damage, including Missing Missy and trying to pay his chiropractor with a picture he drew of a seven-legged spider. I'm a huge fan of David Thorne's caustic humour and writing style and his work always (without fail) makes me laugh out loud. Each is accompanied by a sentence or two of basic explanatory text, and a full-colour insert will guide aspiring young artists as to natural markings and features, though as Dave says, it's just as much fun making up your own colour schemes! I found this book when I was culling and cleaning the wall-o-bookshelves in our bedroom and realized (with glee) that I hadn’t, actually, finished reading it!
