John Waters takes us back to the scene of his original crime against good taste. Listen as Babs Johnson fights to hold on to her title as “Filthiest Person Alive,“ fending off the craven attempts to dethrone her by her nemeses Connie and Raymond Marble. Listen along as Waters takes us on a romp through his camp and filthy vision of Baltimore, from nefarious baby-stealing lesbians to scenes of unspeakable things done to unsuspecting chickens, to the film’s iconic and revolting coup de grace (no spoilers, but it is just as stomach-churning more than fifty years later!).

It all goes to hell when Baltimore bad girl Dawn Davenport doesn’t get the cha-cha heels she’s been demanding for Christmas. In this hilarious, irreverent, pyrotechnic melee of high-trash hijinks, Dawn ruins Christmas, skips town, and embarks on a wild ride that involves hitchhiking, robbery, murder, pregnancy—and, of course, modeling and glamour, too. The second installment of John Waters’ classic Trash Trilogy, Female Trouble explodes conventional norms of good behavior (and art) and is all the proof you’ll ever need that sometimes being bad can feel so, so very good.

Tracy Turnblad, a spunky, full-figured Baltimore teen, wants nothing more than to be a featured dancer on The Corny Collins Show. So when she gets chosen to be on the air, it seems like all her dreams are about to come true. But when she and some of the Black cast of the show try to integrate the segregated dancing, things take on a life of their own. A sweet, hopeful parable about the dangers of conformity and segregation, Hairspray is perhaps the one optimistic entry in John Waters’ shocking and delightfully deranged oeuvre.

Fifteen years after the events of Pink Flamingos, Babs Johnson returns to Baltimore from a life spent largely in bus station lavatories, only to find that she once again has to fight for the right to claim the title of “World’s Filthiest Person.” Her nemesis Connie Marble’s sister, Vera Venninger, and her necrophiliac husband, Wilbur, are in her way. So begins a new battle of filth.

Calypso Finn, ex-actrice de télénovelas brésiliennes devenue brocanteuse, pensait passer un Noël paisible sur la Côte d'Azur.

Escortée par son ronchon de chat, Poker, et son excentrique tante Peggy, reine de la divination dans le champagne, Calypso réalise très vite que l'odieuse lady est détestée de tous… Même d'un fantôme !

Follow the adventures of an ordinary man's encounters with a host of very un-ordinary people. The scene changes from Ft. Polk to New Orleans to Harvard to Prairie Village to Bowling Green to China and to America's heartland, but the theme remains the same, the pervasive ubiquity of peculiar people.

„Wenn dir eine Hebamme etwas von Schlafmustern bei Neugeborenen erzählt hat, hat sie gelogen!“ Sonnenaufgänge bestimmen fortan nicht mehr euren Tagesablauf. Dafür jede Menge Babysabber, Rülpsvorgänge, pralle Windeln und Fragen, die nach Klärung suchen. Wie gelangt das gewünschte Bäuerchen an die Oberfläche? Welche Strategie führt zum erfolgreichen Babybaden? Wie den Sonntagmorgen ohne Windelvorrat meistern? Tim-Taylor- und A-Team-ähnliche Überlebenstricks müssen her!

For months, Luke and his underground revolutionary group have been planning their biggest operation yet: kidnapping 23-year-old Adeline Woolsaw. They don’t want a ransom—they want to expose the Woolsaw Group, the source of Adeline’s parents’ enormous wealth, a vast yet largely anonymous company that runs everything from military bases and mental hospitals to commuter trains, call centers, and prisons.

More commonly known as Mother Goose, Matta is a country girl full of a whole lot of sass! In short-story fashion, she recalls her life adventures with humor, excitement, and the countless missteps that shape who she becomes. The fact that a troublemaking goose follows her around and causes problems whenever the chance arises makes these stories that much more entertaining.

Dale Figgo is the only hate-monger ever to be kicked out of the Proud Boys for being too dumb and incompetent. Now his already messy life is about to get more complicated, thanks to two formidable adversaries. The first is Viva Morales, a clever woman recently taken to the cleaners by her ex-husband, now working at the supposedly philanthropic Mink Foundation and renting a room in Figgo's apartment; the second, Twilly Spree, a millionaire with an anger management problem, especially when it comes to those who deface the environment.

Meet Barry. He’s a nicotine-addicted war veteran with Irritable Bird Syndrome and a grudge against influencer falcons. Once a legendary pigeon in the Bagel Wars of ’09, Barry Fin now spends his days chain-smoking on rooftops, pooping on Teslas, and screaming at TikTok sparrows. But when a smug perchfluencer named SkyDaddy69 starts gentrifying the skies of Brooklyn, Barry’s not about to take it sitting down (mostly because his gut won’t let him).

With the shadow of the Flayed Monarch looming ever closer, Dan must prepare the store and himself for the battle to come. To stand a chance, he’ll need to expand his operations, broker a precarious trade deal with the Delvers of Howlers Hold, and transform his stash of relics into an arsenal of magical war crimes.

Cosa faresti se fossi Dio? Pirjeri Ryynänen, gruista di Helsinki, una risposta l'avrebbe trovata nei quotidiani monologhi di protesta che in cima alla sua gru rivolge all'Onnipotente: eliminerebbe fame e povertà, proteggerebbe l'ambiente e garantirebbe a tutti pace e felicità. Ma il lavoro da fare è infinito. Forse è per questo che Dio è così stanco e depresso: non ne può più dell'umanità, delle sue iniquità e delle sue guerre, e se non ha ancora distrutto la Terra è solo perché è tanto bella, e poi che colpa ne hanno gli altri animali?

Or, lorsque Maud, une adolescente de douze ans rejetée par tous à l'école, s'impose dans sa vie, Billie devient pour la jeune fille un modèle qui l'aidera à reprendre confiance.

Constamment perturbée et pleine de rancœur, Maud s'épanouira tandis que Billie apprendra à aimer au contact de Jérémy, le séduisant père de Maud.

Norman and Phyllis were my parents and, well, they were crazy. Growing up with them was like being on The Norman and Phyllis Show, a bad sitcom the producers forgot to cancel. They were the uncrowned royalty of the Chicago restaurant scene, where Norman taught Mexican waiters broken Yiddish and was a member of The Golden Tipper’s Club. They had to go to restaurants. Phyllis was a terrible cook.

Are you tired of personal growth? Sick of TED Talks telling you to “be authentic” and “listen with empathy”? Wouldn’t you rather bulldoze your way through life with charisma, condescension, and a complete disregard for boundaries? Then this is the book for you.

Eight unsuspecting people receive an invitation to participate in a mysterious new reality show called Break Room. But what starts as an opportunity to find fame is quickly revealed to be something far more unsettling when they learn how they were chosen - they were voted in by their own co-workers as the people they'd least like to share a break room with. But there's another twist. Among them is an imposter - a mole planted by the show's producers and the only way to win the prize money is to uncover the saboteur before time runs out.

Dans ce bonus XXL, issu de l'univers de « Not a fuckin' romance », une partie de la bande des chocolatines vous entraîne dans une aventure inattendue et totalement barrée dont ils ont le secret.
