Beskrivelse

17,591 Excuses for a Party contains every rationalization you'll ever need to have a party, a drink, or both. The excuses are organized by date, including: 7059 Toastable Events, 6936 Birthdays to Celebrate, 915 Drink-Worthy Factoids, 1802 Daily Wine, Beer, and Drink Pairings (with 863 Original Mug & Mali Cocktail Recipes, Many Potable), and 880 Quotes, Drinking Games, Cocktail Proverbs & Spells, Pranks, Gulping Poems, Naughty Limericks, and Other Surprises In spite of the menace posed by hoards of lunatic literary agents, Mug and Mali announced this new disagreeable collection of Excuses. Readers will find the miscellany bewildering and the cocktails addicting - and vice-versa. "17,591 Excuses for a Party" is immature, yet ill-mannered, up-staging such lesser works as, "How to Moon Improperly " and "Do Trousers Matter?" It's another piece of work that will keep you up nights reading and drinking. Enjoy The New Century Dada Press brings the mystique and power of avant-garde Dada to the 21st century. Dada was officially not a movement, its artists not artists and its art not art. Its post-World War I works rebelled against the norms of bourgeois culture and war, and included automatic collage, poetry, painting, sculpture, film, and performance art. Dada influenced Surrealism, Futurism, Cubism, Expressionism, Bobism, The Fat Earth Society, and miscellaneous authors.
