TL Exclusive: Excerpt from Tim Allen’s “I’m Not Really Here, Officer”

August 14th, 2010 · No Comments · Dads, Literature, Man Humor

I know what it looks like, officer. But that’s just it – what it looks like. Have you ever heard of Korzybski?

Quirky Fourth Grader Writes Confessional First Novel

February 8th, 2009 · 6 Comments · Babies and Small Children, High-Mindedness, Literature

“I’m a total dork,” Christian Glazner overeagerly blurts out as we sit down for roast chicken red pepper sandwiches and chocolate milk in the school cafetorium. That much was apparent.

July 15th, 2008 · No Comments · History, Literature, Man Humor

Compiled by Edward Petrenko

Several months ago, I had the honour of being among a party with the express legal right – nay, the privilege – to unearth, exhume, and play rugby with the skull of Ernest Hemingway. It was a balmy night that threatened to give way into rain at all turns, but over [...]

State-Bound Wide Receiver Discovers Poetry

April 27th, 2008 · No Comments · Bros, Literature, Teenagers

by Max Hartshorn
