What's wrong with this??

NickPapageorgio · 10-20-2005

Here are a few excerpts from a brochure I picked up from the Public Library that advertises their fall craft & fun schedule.

"...ages babies to adults..." <-- We could use a number no? The use of the word "ages" signifies to me that soon there will be a couple numbers present in the sentence.

"...on October 19th, to celebrate teen read week, we'll have lapsit time..." <-- Just...what the fuck...

"...during the week of November 14th through the 18th, we will have a craft area setup in the library. This will be for youth to decorate a paper bottle and place it on our bulletin. It is time to really be creative and make you bottle stand out." <-- Nevermind

"...also for teen read week, we will be having duct tape crafts..." <-- I can almost hear the music from Deliverance when I read that.

"...we present pawsative reading. It has been found that reading to K-9 companions can help children overcome poor reading skills and enhance their self esteem." <-- To hell with good parents...that kid needs a shitzu.

"...ages 6-24 months; introduce you littlest ones to story time in a relaxed setting. An adult MUST attend with each child." <-- I give up. There is no hope. Bomb the whole fucking thing right now.

*tiptoeing in gently*

I need something from you now, NickP. I'm serious. I'm in pain here, and I need you.

I need you to tell me that you made that whole thing up. Even if you have to lie to do it...tell me that you made that entire post up, that you did *NOT* get that from a...library.

The Diction Nazi is depending on you, Nick. Please don't let her down.

*agonized groan*

I am with Miss Morgan on that one.

Please tell me a library did not produce that.

I truly fucking despair at how the English language can be slaughtered in such a fashion.

Sadly, fact is sometimes stranger than fiction.

Maybe it's Virgina English?

NickPapageorgio · 10-20-2005

Chris, the fucked up part isn't even that brochure. If you were to do a little search on the vbgov website, you'd find that they are currently seeking a librarian for one of the branches...and they make a cool, clean $75,000 a year to do the job, plus need a degree in library science. Scary shit...

When I see what's at the very top of the food chain...

...it's not surprising at all. Not the least little bit...
