The Devil in the Bookstore

[Sheldonrs]

If she'd have asked for the name of the manager, you could have said Lucy Fur.

Except they should be ashamed for carrying Twilight, but not for the same reason.

Hey now I like the Twilight book series. The movies are not great but the books are amazing.

As for that woman....why oh why can't these kinds of people stop from pulling books off shelves, movies off shelves etc? just because you don't like it doesn't mean others should be allowed access to it. And if a child sees it SO WHAT. They aren't going to vaporize on the spot.

[Can I Help Your A$$?]

I know that I will never rest, personally, until all bookstores keep the Book of the Subgenius in the Bibles section.

Humor?!? Bah.

Now THAT'S a Devil book.

Actually, the Bible is a devil book. I mean, it's full of demons and devils and beasts and scorpions with dragons' wings and women's hair. What more could you want?

For those who want to know about Twilight, and not have to take the chance of being seen reading or watching it, I give you:

Twilight in 30 Seconds with Bunnies

But but...didn't Daniel Webster defeat the devil?

I thought it was Johnny when the devil went to Georgia......

I applaud that clerks restraint... I don't think I would have been able to stop myself from saying something along the lines of *pick up book and look at it* "Oh this one is my favorite, I've read it 6 times" *big bright smile* "Oh sorry were you saying something Ma'am"

....And then let the madness begin...

Or Twilight.

Nah, even the devil himself wont touch twilight books... too sugary and sparkly for his tastes :P lol

[wolfie]

Yep, Dalesys. Both the rearranging of the books and that particular cookie came from Mall Purchase Night. Just curious, but have you read the "Wizardry" series and "Limbo System", also by Rick Cook?

There's no reason to pull a half-assed stunt like that. Why not go whole hog and move the New Age books to Nature and Ecology, and put the books on advanced physics and its relation to eastern mysticism under Humour? Cookies (chocolate macadamia nut macaroon oatmeal peanut butter squares) for reference.

Erm. "Mall Purchase Night"?

[Nyoibo]

Mostly because the employees stopped us after that.

A couple of friends and I once amused ourselves by swapping the Fantasy and Religeon signs around, we had too much time on our hands.

Until a fellow CSer sees you and sits down next to you. But you might not mind that kind of company.

Not at all.

I've been reading "White Witch, Black Curse," on the bus. No one has asked for the empty seat beside me. Hmmm. This could work out very well. I'll just transfer the dust jacket to my other books and have lots of room for all my crap on the perpetually empty seat next to me!
