The Problem with Story Time

The problem with story time is that it involves children. Small people. You know, morons. They demand colorful pictures, engaging voices, all types of interesting input that adults also require but are too repressed to ask for. That’s why Transformers had two sequels.

Yeah, we needed more backstory or whatever.

Why am I on about this? Because Betty Lou, our circulation librarian can not seem to grasp the simple concept that The Great Gatsby might be a poor choice for our story time. I do not want to complain about Betty Lou. She has been forced into a position as story time coordinator after our last children’s librarian disappeared, but I fail to see how she can fail so spectacularly at such a simple task. She does so well at her circulation duties, even streamlining service through strategic bin placement, but the woman can not grasp the concept of “read picture book.”

Kinect Sells Like Crazy Sexy Hot Cakes

Guiness, the company that counts the best in the world, has declared Microsoft's Kinect to be the Fastest Selling Computer Electronic Device.  To claim the honor, Kinect had to not only outsell Apple's iPhone and iPad devices, but do it really fast.  How fast?  Like a bunny.  A really fast bunny that sells 133,333 Kinects a day on average.  A salesman of the year kind of bunny that does not have time for his wife and kids because he just loves selling Kinect so much that he memorizes its applications but does not bother to come to even one baseball game.  Just one game, Dad! 

I mean Bunny. 

Hey, that thing sold a lot, huh?

Do not believe me?  Why should you; I am a stranger on the Internet.  Now get into my van and eat that damn candy.  Or just click here.  Yeah, that is less creepy.
