Strip Tease (novel)
''Strip Tease'' is a 1993 novel by Carl Hiaasen. Like most of his other novels, it is a crime novel set in Florida and features Hiaasen's characteristic black humor. The novel focuses on a single mother who has turned to exotic dancing to earn enough money to gain legal custody of her young daughter, and ends up matching wits with a lecherous United States Congressman and his powerful corporate backers. Like many Hiaasen novels, the book's plot is set against a backdrop of a particular environmental crime or corruption issue that angers the author. In this case, it is the plutocracy of sugar growers in Florida, and the exorbitant subsidies regularly granted to them by the U.S. Congress. ''Strip Tease'' was a ''New York Times'' bestseller in 1993. Plot During a late-night bachelor party at the Eager Beaver, a strip club in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, drunken groom-to-be Paul Guber climbs on stage and grabs Erin Grant, one of the dancers. Before the club's bouncer can act, Paul i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Nutty Squirrels
The Nutty Squirrels were a jazz virtual band formed in imitation of Alvin and the Chipmunks. The Nutty Squirrels' music was characterized by their use of scat singing. They received a Top 40 hit in late-1959 as the song "Uh! Oh!". They also preceded The Alvin Show in which they appeared on television in 1960 as ''The Nutty Squirrels Present'', but the show's success was rather decreased. The group's first two albums, '' The Nutty Squirrels'' and ''Bird Watching'', were released in 1959. The Nutty Squirrels' final album, ''The Nutty Squirrels Sing A Hard Day's Night and Other Smashes'', marked a stylistic change from their first two albums, featuring covers of the Beatles songs. Biography After The Chipmunks' initial success in 1958, plans were almost immediately made to make them into an animated cartoon series. Unfortunately, there were some initial art direction snags (specifically with the character designs) and the show was delayed. This gap resulted in a race between the Chi ...

Beavers (Scouting)
Beavers is a program associated with some Scouting organizations generally for children aged 6 to 8 who are too young for the Cub program. Beavers programs had their origins in the Northern Ireland organization ''The Little Brothers'', founded in 1963 and renamed "Beavers" in 1966 to provide a program for boys who were too young to be Wolf Cubs. A Beavers program for Scouts Canada was designed and tested in 1971 and adopted in 1974. Since then, other scouting organizations in some countries have developed their own Beavers or similar programs. Some organizations do not call their programs "Beavers" and often use an animal local to their region instead. Many share common ideas between them, such as: * A Beaver pledge and/or motto, * Earning merit badges * A Beaver uniform, distinct from that of older Cubs * Organized in groups, each called a Beaver "Colony", with optional smaller groups called "Lodges" * Special ceremonies to commemorate new members, and the graduation of the old ...

M35 Series 2½-ton 6×6 Cargo Truck
The M35 2½-ton cargo truck is a long-lived 2½-ton 6×6 cargo truck initially used by the United States Army and subsequently utilized by many nations around the world. Over time it evolved into a family of specialized vehicles. It inherited the nickname "Deuce and a Half" from an older 2½-ton truck, the World War II GMC CCKW. The M35 started as a 1949 REO Motor Car Company design for a 2½-ton 6×6 off-road truck. This original 6-wheel M34 version with a single wheel tandem was quickly superseded by the 10-wheel M35 design with a dual tandem. The basic M35 cargo truck is rated to carry off-road or on roads. Trucks in this weight class are considered medium duty by the military and the Department of Transportation. Specifications Dimensions An M35A2 cargo truck with a PTO-driven Garwood front winch is tall, wide and long, and empty ( empty when equipped with the front mount winch, according to dashboard dataplates). The standard wheelbase cargo bed is 8 feet wid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
