I've only seen Bachelor Auctions in fanfic. Then again, I haven't been to a lot of auctions period. The only one that comes to mind in the past 10 years or so would be the silent auction to benefit a local rape crisis center, and I can't imagine a bachelor auction being appropriate for that.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because books.
Bachelor auctions happen a lot in romance, too.

This where I get to remind everyone that I used to live on Seaman Dr. off the corner of Cumming Ave. HAND TO GOD. At the actual corner of Seaman and Cumming was a CHURCH!!
The next street down was Dykeman and where it crossed Broadway there were the Broad Dyke aparments and the Broad Dyke Meat Market!!! Best neighborhood for names ever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So the date auction I went to was held by the fraternal organization that was the brother to the one I was part of. My friend and I won our other friend's boyfriend, thinking the three of us would hang out some time, but he took us each out on a nice date! The best date I had in high school, for sure. Partly because he was good guy, partly because there were no questions about where we stood.

Librarian Warlord
Today every staff member got a letter indicating there would be staff cuts in January and anyone might be cut.
The PTB have asked for 50% cuts from the library (overall - not just staff).
Merry Christmas everyone!
