News and views from the Tidbits
Nice article in the Online Gargoyle about the Big Read, featuring The Maltese Falcon, by Dashiell Hammett. As I write, Natalie is putting up a gigantic Maltese Falcon crossword puzzle for the hall board.
Overheard in the library:
"I think Texas is the most likely to secede." (Sierra)
"Ha. Most likely to secede!" (Isabel)
"We should give someone that award. Who's most likely to secede in our class?" (Sierra)
"No projectiles loose in the library!" (me)
"The worst store name I ever heard was Dress Barn. "Dress Barn" implies that all of your female clients are cows. I don't know how they stay in business." (Jacob)
"I am always amazed that people don't realize the little house icon on the browser is a link to the home page." (me)
"You're kidding!!" (chorus of students)
"Oh, that's a link??" (student-who-shall-remain-nameless)
"Don't put up books about dogs [for a display]. Those ones about relationships, and the person dies, and the dog sits by the grave being sad for 40 years." (Isabel)
"Why is this bake sale different from all other bake sales?" (poster for a during-Passover bake sale)

I have been continually impressed with the wit in the Social Ad bake sale posters this week - the one you mention is the best, but there was one in the first-floor men's bathroom (since taken down, although it didn't strike me as rude...) which made me literally LOL out loud.
Funny, later in the day (in the library) Mr. Stone and some of his students discussed posting study guides for his next test in the same location. At the least, I could have added his quote to this blog post.
