This flash card deck, complete with 300 cards, provides the smartest answers for job seekers who want to impress hiring managers and gain an edge in their interviews. The cards anticipate questions ranging from basic (“What makes you think you can do this job?”) to tricky (“Tell me about a time you challenged your supervisor”) to illegal (“What’s your age?”). They provide a sample answer as well as ways to tailor an answer to an applicant’s specific industry or situation. Even more, each answer highlights the key term or phrase to commit to memory. Now job searchers can easily practice right up until the interview so when the time comes, they can walk into the room, say the right things, and leave a lasting impression.

“I only take a drink on two occasions: when I’m thirsty and when I’m not.”
—Brendan Behan From pubs, alehouses, wine bars, vineyards, across the table, and under the table flows a river of thoughts about drinking. Some of it is profound, some of it is funny, some of it is silly. But all of it is about that most wonderful of human inventions: alcohol. From the ancient (“The man who isn’t jolly after drinking is just a driveling idiot to my thinking.” —Euripides) to the modern (“Alcohol—the cause of and the solution to all of life’s problems.” —Homer Simpson), here is wit, wisdom, and drunken ramblings about every alcoholic substance humans have used to enrich their lives, expand their creativity, and destroy their livers. Mixed with classic drink recipes, short biographies of potable quotables, and information about favorite watering spots, The Quotable Drunkard is a treasure every drinker will be bound to keep—right next to the Beefeater.

Steven Kates is predisposed to drink as a former journalist, an irish-american, and an MFa graduate. should you meet Kates in his native rhode island, he’ll have a sidecar, a sam adams Cherry Wheat®, or an entire bottle of Champagne.

Dude, You’re Gonna Be a Dad!
How to Get (Both of You) Through the Next 9 Months
John Pfeiffer

There are approximately 3,712 ways for a man to look stupid during pregnancy—Dude, You’re Gonna Be a Dad! is here to help readers avoid (most of) them. It loops guys in on what’s going on with her while focusing on what they should be doing for her. Like any good coach, John Pfeiffer has been through it. He knows what a guy needs to do between the stick turning blue and the drive to the delivery room. And it’s more than throwing a coat of yellow paint on the spare bedroom’s walls (though that still needs to be done). On one hand, he needs to be responsive—there with a “You’re beautiful” and massage when she’s ballooned out, Sumo-style. On the other, he needs to ditch the “whatever you want, honey” mentality, grow a pair, and be assertive during the decision-making process. Or else he’ll wind up with a son named Percy. Pfeiffer knows how to speak to his fellow man: straightforward and directly, with a few fart jokes tossed in. With this book as their guide, guys learn that she might be having the baby, but they have plenty of responsibilities.

Of Course You’re Still Cool, Honey
dan Consiglio, with plenty of inspiration from his wife lauren

It’s so hard being a man. There’s all those hectic scheduling issues. (Remember the fantasy draft/beer-league playoff double-booking debacle?) Then there’s his romantic side that never ceases to amaze. (Takeout and a UFC pay-per-view, anyone?) And don’t get us started on how he finds time to stay so fashion-forward. (Who would’ve known the socks-and-sandals look was making a comeback?) No wonder he only has time to throw his dirty underwear next to the hamper. But it’s not always easy for these modern-day Supermen. They can have bad days too. That’s when the women in their lives really need to shower them with attention, tell them how great they are, and remind them that yes, Of Course You’re Still Cool, Honey.

Corny Raspberry Muffins
It can be crazy around our house in the morning—people are rushing in every direction, getting dressed, packing backpacks for school, and eating breakfast. Having healthy muffins on hand is really nice when time is short and you all need to grab something that is fast and easy to eat. These are better for you—and the planet—than the drive-through any day!
Ingredients: • • • • • 1½ cups all-purpose flour ½ cup yellow cornmeal ½ cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda • • • • • ¼ teaspoon salt 1¼ cups plain low-fat yogurt 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 teaspoon lemon rind, grated 2 large eggs, lightly beaten • Non-stick cooking spray • 1 cup fresh raspberries • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. 2. Place a large bowl inside an even larger one. This will allow you to catch any spills of your dry ingredients so they aren’t wasted. 3. Measure flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add each to the bowl. 4. In a separate bowl, add yogurt and vegetable oil. 5. Use a lemon zester, microplane, or box grater to grate the lemon rind. Watch out—these are sharp! 6. Crack the eggs and add them to a separate small bowl. This will allow you to easily fish out any stray shells. 7. Lightly mix the eggs with a whisk or fork. Add the eggs to the yogurt mixture and stir to combine. 8. Pour the wet mixture to the large bowl of dry ingredients. 9. Stir until just blended. The dough won’t be nice and tender if you mix too much. 10. Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to spoon the batter into 12 muffin cups (coated with cooking spray). 11. Mix the raspberries and sugar in a small bowl. 12. Using a spoon, scoop even quantities of berries on to each muffin cup. 13. Bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins spring back when you touch them gently in the center. 14. Remove them from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes in the pan. 15. Transfer muffins from the pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Uncommon Courtesy
Jennifer M. Wood

The Basics of Good Behavior for a Badly Behaved World

Uncommon Courtesy is the quick slap to the back of the head most people need nowadays. In a world that’s more likely to flip the bird than hold the door, it’s a reminder of proper behavior. Readers receive a (re-)schooling in manners with lessons split up by situation, then tackled by topic. Each note corrects conduct that’s become all too common, like . . . Bad Behavior: Popping a piece of gum into your mouth midconversation, and stressing your point by snapping it. courteous Fix: If you’re going to have a piece of gum while talking to someone, be sure to offer your companion a piece—and keep your mouth closed as you chew. You want your breath to be fresh. Not your attitude. Uncommon Courtesy is a reminder that it wasn’t always out of place to be polite.

Fact attack: insurance covers alien abduction! For the bargain price of $150, you can purchase alien abduction insurance. The policy covers up to $1.5 million in damages if the claimant can prove he or she was actually abducted. Good luck with that one. Fact attack: Termites are egg-laying machines! A single termite queen can lay as many as 30,000 eggs in a single day. We should stop wasting our time with chickens. Fact attack: Fish fuses with its mate! To mate with a female, the male anglerfish latches onto the side of his partner with his teeth and releases an enzyme that causes his body to fuse with hers. Eventually, her body completely absorbs his until nothing but his gonads remain dangling on her side. It’s not a tumor. Forget Fringe, Warehouse 13, and The X-Files.

from the prologue
Fresh out of school with a useless degree and eighty grand of debt, i had no idea what to do next. My parents wanted me to move home to Minnesota. My college girlfriend wanted me to propose. My heart didn’t want me to do either. oh, and just for good measure, the economy was tanking. i needed a plan. Simple. i would leave it all behind—the temp jobs, the girlfriend, the debt. Well, not the debt. That’ll be following me around for the next two decades. The solution to my situation was to get behind the wheel and drive. i’d take my parents’ VW Eurovan on one epic road trip through all forty-eight contiguous states. That’d get me on track. it’s quite possible that this trip would be the ballsiest thing i’d ever do in my life. it’s also quite possible that i had been drinking when i decided on this “plan.”

The little Black Book of Big Red flags
The 200 Warning Signs You Should Never Ignore—But Usually Do
Natasha Burton, Julie Fishman, and Meagan McCrary, founders of thelittleblackblogofbigredflags.com

She’s never met his friends: red flag. Mom pays his rent: red flag. He’s fake-and-baked orange: red frickin’ flag! You’d think with such obvious warning signs, more women would know when to cut and run. They don’t. Instead they think, It’s not that bad, I can live with it, or—even worse—I can fix him! What a disaster. This Little Black Book will become every woman’s new best friend as it saves her from wasting time on a sinking ship. It combines real advice with real anecdotes to get a real message across: He’s just not that good for you. Readers will laugh at their fellow females’ dating disasters (and cringe when they realize a few of their own). And by the end, they’ll understand that when the flaw’s that obvious, it’s best to walk—or, in most cases, run—away.

Falling. Being chased. Showing up to an important event late—and naked. Many have had these common dreams, but the meanings for each are unique. After all, someone who is afraid of heights would feel differently about falling then someone who works as a skydiving instructor.

Certified hypnotherapist and former psychologist Dr. Janece O. Hudson uses the tools of her trade to offer customized dream analysis to readers who want to know what their dreams mean for them. Part comprehensive guide and part interactive workbook, Into Your Dreams helps dreamers decode the secrets of their subconscious—and teaches them how to use these secrets to improve their lives. Because no one knows the power of a dream better than the dreamer.

Readers shouldn’t bother with the pick-up books or get-rich-quick schemes. Same with the confidence builders and brain boosters. They’re all crap. They need to be the ones doing the bullshitting rather than eating it up. The rewards will be tenfold—the success, the women, the attention—once they become the actual source rather than another bystander in the breadline of life. To achieve that goal, they’ll be taught techniques on how to run a conversation and interject into a discussion—even if they’re clueless about the current topic. All they need is a kernel of truth and some confidence. After their crash course in talking the talk, readers are provided with those kernels of information that can be used to back up any argument, validate any assumption, and legitimize any rebuttal. Forget being an annoying know-it-all. Readers will tap into real appeal once they become a skilled bullshit artist. Guaranteed.

Everyone knows you need directors and actors to make movies and TV shows. But it takes more than those two positions to get a production underway. Who’s checking scripts for continuity? Who’s making sure colors pop on the big screen? And most important, who’s feeding the crew during those long days? Through interviews with top talent both above and below the line, Hire Me, Hollywood! shows that it takes more than the expected (actors, writers, producers) to make the industry tick. While it includes bold names (Stan Lee) and faces readers recognize (Sam Trammell; Sam Merlotte on True Blood), it also reveals those more mysterious positions—the casting directors, music supervisors, stage managers, and more.

Physics for Men
The Science Behind Being a Guy
P. r. Kelt

Who would’ve known there was so much thought behind a guy’s every move? Sure, he’s impressed bystanders with the lengths he’ll go in order to reach the remote without getting out of the recliner. But his mission’s success is just dumb luck . . . right? Better go to the replay. Whereas a simpleton might think his foot kicking down on the magazine and sending the clicker sailing through the air and into his outstretched hand is a fluke—it’s actually a very calculated move. The angles of impact and trajectory were carefully thought out. Drag and resistance were factored in. And velocity was figured in order to time the catch perfectly. Not as easy as first thought. Physics for Men shows readers that there’s a science behind being that awesome.
