Alcohol + a Love of Reading

[BookBint]

Me: Hello, OddlyGeekyHistoryBookCompany, BookBint speaking.
SC: Helloooooooooooooooo. Book?
Me: Excuse me? *far too early for this*
SC: Need. Boooooooooooooooooooook!
Me: Yes, I understand that, what title were you after?
SC: Book. War. Last war. Book.
Me: Sir, are you intoxicated?
SC: Whaaaaaa? Nooooooooooooooo. Book!
Me: Perhaps you would like to call back later.
SC: Ok. Book!
Me: Buhbye…

That poor confused bibliophile.

Is anyone else getting flashbacks of Hudson & Landry: Ajax Liquor Store?

[marlovino]

Kinda sounded like a zombie librarian.

BBBBoooookkkkk!!!

I can't tell if the caller seemed really drunk and in need of a book or just sorta drunk and trying to pull a really dumb prank. Maybe you should have just started slurring titles and authors at him, just to see what he would have done.

BBBBoooookkkkk!!!

That was great! Makes some good mental images, too.

[Buglady]

Heh. I sometimes fear that is what I would sound like if I were to be deprived of reading material for too long...

*pitifully* Boooooooooooooooooooook!!

(When I was about ten, my parents grounded me for forgetting to do my chores. Since I had few friends and didn't care about TV very much, they told me I could not read for three days. I lasted about six hours before I came back to them begging forgiveness and to have my books back... they actually never did that to me again, as they were pretty shocked at how hard I took it. I did become a little better at remembering my chores, too...)

[EternalFrustration]

I was thinking more along the lines of those wacky aliens from Sesame Street. Yip-yip-yip, book, yip-yip-yip...

Hey, do we have a smiley that spits over a computer screen and then wipes up?
And yes, that conjures up some good mental images.

Instead of zombies going "Bbbbraiins..." they could go "BOOOOoookkkK"

Nine weeks. One grade period. You better believe I knew my school textbooks inside and out at the end of that!

Of course, you know that with so many stupid people around, brains just aren't nutritious enough for zombies anymore. The starving, malnourished zombies need to get their food somewhere, so it's time to hit the books. Or eat them!
