books don't read themselves...

[chasewaterhouse]

I'm in deep doodoo.

I have a book out from the Los Angeles Public Library that is waaaaaay overdue. I'm talking, like, you'll-ask-me-to-tell-you-and-i'll-whisper-it-in-your-ear-and-you'll-gasp-really-loud overdue. By my calculations, I could have bought the book at least three times by now. And then bought a gold-plated bookmark to keep my slowly-

I'm reading like 6 books right now. That I've been reading for years. Who has time.. there's lots of alcohol out there.

'put it in the slot' god, I must be a 13 yr old boy because that made me giggle.

[chasewaterhouse]

See, I can't read two or more books at a time. It makes me feel like a book slut. Like I'm cheating on the other books.

p.s. ARE you a 13 yr old boy?? hmmm...

[jamieeyramess]

WITH BOOBIES!

[chasewaterhouse]

Those are swell.

Wait my friend and seek amnesty.

Once every few rare years, they give amnesty to overdue offenders.

Bid your time and then with great gutso, return it on that day. Bonus if ask if you are the latest to return it.

[chasewaterhouse]

Cool. Maybe they'll give me a medal?

Or rename the library after me?

[ouiserboudreaux]

Damn, I'm scattered today.

I meant to say Bonus if you ask and it came out all screwed up.

You don't get naming rights unless you pay the actual fine.

With nothing but large-print editions of the Left Behind series to read for eternity!!

this line made me laugh harder than anything else all day.

My Southern Baptist grandmother reminds me EVERY time I come home that there's a new book in the series coming out.
Do they keep getting left behind? Or are they left behind somewhere else each time? I'm confused.

[5500]

no i think the series is over now, dude: the rapture has taken place and the anti-christ vanquished.

[helloreplace]

yeah, thanks a pantsful for vanquishing me, i still had a few things left i wanted to do.

Hamilton is dead.

And now you know how the book ends, thus eliminating the need to actually finish it. Remove thine albatross, Chase Waterhouse, and run free!

[chasewaterhouse]

Thanks for nothing. (pouts)

Y'know, I think that they actually *do* give some sort of reward (or at least recognition) for the most notorious late offender on library amnesty day. But I think you may have some heavy competition for that one -- do you *know* how many 50 year old men who've checked out Dungeons and Dragons books and live in their parents' basements there are out there, just WAITING for library amnesty day to roll around? These are men who checked out copies of 'The Temple of Elemental Evil (Greyhawk Classics)' and treasure them like they treasure their celtic sword reproductions they bought off Ebay
