patgundFor the Librarians, book store employees, and book lovers on my friends list, I present to you a ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
metaquotes post which is chock full of both win and awesome.
Librarians control the Universe, don't ever piss one off -- Spider Robinson
"Honestly, what reaction were you expecting when you asked me for books on serial killers, Satanism and voodoo? Were you expecting me to get the vapors? "Satanism? Oh, my stars!" (hand to bosom, fall over in a dead faint).
I bet you sure as hell weren't expecting me to give you a list of books on the subject as well as a few suggestions for more indepth research. I could tell because you stopped elbowing your friend and looking smug.
Listen kid, it'll take a hell of a lot more than anything your tiny brain can come up with to shock me. I've had used condoms land on my hand while shelving, watched in amusement while a bounty hunter tackled a guy in the periodicals section, cleaned up crap, barf, urine, blood and other body fluids, been slapped, screamed at, survived attempted conversions and Lord knows what else. You painting your nails black and carrying around books by Aleister Crowley (a rather well-known person in the occult whose name I had to suggest to you and that I know you won't be able to read with any comprehension)does little more than make me roll my eyes.
Why don't you go try your tired schtick in a church and make some Lutherans pass out? I'm a librarian, motherf**ker, you couldn't shock me if you tried."
