He probably just ran into a defective librarian. Those happen sometimes, best to just throw it away and order a new one.retyopy said:She was literaly not letting him check it out. as in, she would not swipe it. In the end, he left, but he came back an hour later and there was a new lady who let him check it out.kickyourass said:I can see where the Checkout Human is coming from but unless he/she actively refused to let the kid check the book out I don't really see why this "chives your spuds" as you put it.
I would ask thoug, how is "Chives my spuds" supposed to translate into something bad? Chives on potatoes is awesome.
So you're suggesting... that we dispose of a human life... A living, breathing, happy HUMAN... simply because he/she was a bit annoying?Dracowrath said:He probably just ran into a defective librarian.

How could they not know what it is? It's ingrained in our culure... Isn't it? It couldn't just be lost, right? There's no way.GreatTeacherCAW said:People are so sensitive when it comes to breaking and entering. I mean, they really should call it "forcefully meeting new friends", right?

I tend to look at people funny when they don't know what Lord of the Flies is. I'll give those who haven't read it a pass (since a lot of people cannot read above a first grade level), but not knowing what it is is simply... unacceptable.
By what means did you find out?NotSoLoneWanderer said:Hate when adults or people in power do things like this. For example i was always curious about the fate of Native Americans when Christopher Columbus sailed onto shore. Took some initiative and found out on my own and my kindergarten teacher kept me inside for lunch because I was telling the truth and "scaring" the other children.
Asked my mom and she took me to a library and helped me choose a book on the subject and helped me with the more collegiate words...my mom is an English teacher. By initiative I mean I read the book while my peers couldn't be bothered unless it was a picture book. I can't remember much about the book but it was good.retyopy said:By what means did you find out?NotSoLoneWanderer said:Hate when adults or people in power do things like this.

I confess, I've never heard of A Confederacy of Dunces, but I will take it upon myself to read it and become educated.GreatTeacherCAW said:It might be. I've met a few people who didn't know it was a book, but were familiar with the film. I've also met college graduates who don't know what Catcher in the Rye is other than "that stupid book I had to read in middle school." And the classic novel A Confederacy of Dunces... that one has been lost for years.retyopy said:How could they not know what it is? It's ingrained in our culure... Isn't it?
