Zany Time Travels of Warble McGorkle

Zany Time Travels of Warble McGorkle
In 'The Zany Time Travels of Warble McGorkle' (book II of a trilogy, and the first one recorded), Warble Poundcake McGorkle and his entourage (wife, employees, a sales team, and a canine) travel back in time to revise history.

Their meddling in events during American Revolutionary War Times, at Custer's Last Stand, the Alamo, Woodstock, and many other pivotal events--as well as a detour to 1st Century Jerusalem to kidnap Jesus (or Judas)--leads to catastrophic consequences for those living in modern times.

Among the things Warble and his gang perpetrate are:

1. Banishing George Washington to England for inventing the peanut (and thus being responsible for 'Peanut Envy')
2. 'Helping out' at the Alamo, so that it's the Mexicans who ultimately get 'saddled' with Texas
3. Originating Pre-emptive Strikes (umpires calling strikes before the ball is thrown)
4. Changing song lyrics at Woodstock to influence the politics and modify the personalities of the concert-goers

These are just a few of the outrageous shenanigans that culminate in a climactic scene as the protagonists return to the present and see what their changes have wrought.
