Bookstore Dialogues

[angstingpainter]

Today, in a slight change of pace, my typist went out to the bookstore. Or, as it happens, several bookstores. In bookstore number one, she could not find the main object of her trip. In bookstore number two, the following conversation occured

My typist would like to note that it's next to impossible to find someone who doesn't know who Harry Potter is, even in the Muggle world. It's scary.

[angstingpainter]

My typist agrees, and says that if she gets the time, she'll make it her goal in life to find someone who doesn't know who Harry Potter is (and isn't a starving child in Africa).

*blinks* ...Wouldn't that snare something in the child labor laws?
...Anyways, I think my moral of that story is that your typist is very adorable. And quite out of sync with the rest of her world, which is always a good thing.

[angstingpainter]

You know, I think it would.

I don't think she appreciates being 'adorable,' but she must agree with the second part. Especially as her idea of the moral was "Barnes and Noble is lax in their hiring criteria."

[presidentzaphod]

The moral of the story is my typist has me hooked on "The Barenaked Ladies", who are apparently a band. And all fully-clothed men.

BUT THEY HAVE A SONG ALL ABOUT ALCOHOL. With the best lyrics ever.

And that is the moral of the story.

[angstingpainter]

Er. All right, that sounds as likely as any moral, I suppose. That's quite an interesting name for a band. All my typist listens to (aside from the classical music and old Russian music) is some band to do with bugs. Beetles, I think.

About alcohol? It must be quite enlightening.

Typist: Beatles and classical music! *squee* Sounds about right!

Crowley: Ignore her. Please.

[bookwolf]

...First, wow, your typist is very--er, not like you.

Second: Best music choices ever.

[Depuppets]A bookstore employee who does not know of Candide? I think I may be sick. What sort of morons do they hire?

I need to work at a bookstore.[Repuppets]

My typist would like to note that she once found The Hunchback of Notre Dame filed in the science fiction section of a bookstore! This was shortly after the animated version came out, and she believes that someone must have thought it was what she calls a "novelization".
