let's go pick some liberries

thanks to my librarian cousin once removed, i bring you something that is too fun not to share.
way too fun.
library savings calculator.

i was displeased to see that there was a category for "puppets borrowed" and i'm glad my library would never set such monsters loose in my neighborhood.

the calculator says i save $719.40 per month. while i am indeed an avid borrower of books, movies, and CDs, that seems high. however, i am pretty chummy with more than one librarian.

  2. i distrust anything that maintains the same vapid expression whilst there is a stick up its ass.

  3. what about hand puppets? no stick up ass, and your hands can change the expression.

  5. But you said you distrust it. Implication being that you distrust the puppet. Now you are saying you are sympathezing with the violations forced upon the puppet. Is this a "blame the victim" argument?

  6. no. mostly i don't like puppets for the same reason i don't like stuffed animals - they are useless and creepy.
