Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I just poked around their website and found some stuff, but it's not nearly as nice as rummaging through a used book store.

I doubt they'd mail me those bookshelves anyway.

Who said I was helpful?

I think "taunty" is the word you're looking for.

It really is excellent for rummaging. Particularly with all the vintage movie magazines from 1916 through the fifties.

Plus they've got all these odd little bits and pieces stashed away on the shelves. Old pulp mags. Zines. Vintage photographs and postcards. Pretty much everything collectable on paper.

Thrive to spite them

Why are they closing?

The owner's retiring after 25 years of running the bookstore, and longer than that in the business.

Hey Taunty McTauntpants, that's going over the line. You can stop now.

Maybe I should retaliate by going to the Stax Museum or Sun Studio to look at music memorabillia this weekend?
