Spoof of TNT's The Librarian

Someone (the creator?) sent the URL below via the Comments on my original post about TNT's new movie. I thought I'd share it, as it's a cute sendup: homepage.mac.com/cg6025/tnt_thelibrarian.jpg

Gullible's Island

Seems some folks in Britain didn't get the joke, and called their local libraries looking for get-thin-quick books that didn't exist. Nice to know patrons are gullible everywhere.

Shameless Plug for Bill and Gene

WARNING: entrance to the Unshelved Store may cause you to drop a load of cash on gifts for your librarian friends

They have some neato new items, including this great Library Raid Jacket.

Please Note: To ship in time for Christmas, your order must be received by November 17!

SHOP! NOW!

(I am not in any way affiliated with Unshelved, Overdue Media or Bill and Gene, I simply adore them from afar.)

"Conjunction Junction, What's Your Function?"

Yesterday's Unshelved comic was a classic. Dewey: "Everything I know about U.S. history, I learned from 'Schoolhouse Rock'".

Indeed. "I'm just a bill. Yes, I'm only a bill. And I'm sittin' here on Capitol Hill..."
