kids should not chat

[depechemodefan]

typical question:

from Penn: What is a whore? I'm always being called that.

from Il: What is a cocksucker? My brother calls me that. I asked my mom and she says it's a lollipop. Is it a lollipop?

from Samantha of Il: my brother tells me I need to get laid. What is laid?

You could have at least offered him the strategy book for the Zombie invasion.

[depechemodefan]

I was going to offer a Stars Wars stragedy guide...

Ok, this is a winner. I'm thinking he's a white 14 year old gang wannabe or...uh, can't think of other person dumb enough....

[Ill_Used_Heroine]

Oh man, am I glad we don't have that option here in our libraries. Actually, all our PCs are set so no one can use chat ware, chat sites, game sites or video/audio streaming. Kinda sucks for us workers, but whatever.

[Kiwi]

11:20:17 2009/05/08 (GMT-6) suck it bitch

wow

I don't even have words....

[Salted Grump]

I do. None of them are printable, even in an R-rated magazine, though.

[MageAkyla]

Wow just wow.....*begins to wonder why she is attempting to be hired as a teen librarian.*

[LiberryWorker]

I've heard of r for are, u for you, and so on, but eye for I? Really?

I won't even make a tasteless pun about the whole Gandhi quote cause really, that's just in poor taste

Set.

Librarian 1: Note: Set Resolution: Answered

Match.

Nicely played.

Far more patience than I possess though.

[sanchopanza65]

Hey, I learned something today about the Bloods and the Crips, even if he didn't.

[PepperElf]

suck it?
with what a straw?... might be the only thing that will fit him if he's gotta pull attitude like that.

[MadMike]

from Il: What is a cocksucker? My brother calls me that. I asked my mom and she says it's a lollipop. Is it a lollipop?

The first time I heard that, the only meaning for "cock" that I was aware of was "chicken", so when I heard "cocksucker", I thought it was some silly, harmless expression for someone who sucked on a chicken. I was somewhat shocked when I found out otherwise.

I've heard of r for are, u for you, and so on, but eye for I? Really?

Yeah, that is weird. Usually the idea is to make the words shorter, not longer.

Me too. I imagined the white rooster from the box of Corn Flakes eating a sucker.

I didn't pick up the "whore" and "co**sucker" questions because there is no reason to humor those kids. Though I can just imagine the boss bitching at me:

boss: why didn't you answer those, um, questions?
me: If you can't say "whore" or "cocksucker", I'm not about to.

[PepperElf]

makes you wish you could email the parents a transcript
though i suspect some of them would write back "you heard him, suck it" or something awful like that

[Barracuda]

Lol, that is pretty bad, but try being a moderator for an online video game aimed at children...and having to read cybersex logs between a 10 and 11 year old. Or even worse, between two adults who get graphic and are feeling VERY frisky. YICH!
