I checked it out, at the library.

Along with quite a few other books, some stuff on figure drawing; human annatomy, mosaic making, human phychology, physics, humorous poetry, Go Dog Go... etc.

And it was time to return. And I put them all in my bag. And I put them in the van, on the floor in the front passenger seat. And I completly flaked out. And I did not return them.

Then, the next day, I decided to return them... because I am very resposible like that, and I love my library privaliges much, and would not forsake them for anything.

I lugged my big blue canvas bag from the van to the drop slot, I was a champ about it.

And as I was all haphazardly, absentmidedly, yet gently I swear, dropping them in the drop box I happened to notice, around the twelveth book to go down or so (the pychology textbook if you must know) how completly swollen and damp it was... as it slipped from my fingers and dropped to oblivion before I could react.

!!

What is this obscene wetness!? Covering the last literary masterpiece remaining in my hand, Survivor?

Oh, Fucking Oregon, you have foiled me again! As I stood there in the misty downpour I realised what a loser I am for leaving my passenger window open a crack overnight.

And my love affair with the written word demands a stand up loalty to walk my shame ridden hung head into the library desk and admitt my guilt.

The total cost of all damaged, ruined, soaked, water logged, destroyed, borrowed books totaling $153+ some cents...

Yet on the bright side I now own a very damaged copy of Survivor... I shall call it emotionally delicate, and it will console me and I will console it through this terrible ordeal of paying off the library mafia for the begging privalige to engage in their sevices once again.

We shall never part.

So, my fellow webedfooted, if you try to check out Survivor, and it turns out their only copy has been "lost"... yes you may blame me.

It should be easier to peel off the cover to find the hidden ending now.

'Phychology' is how you spell psychology when you have a little vodka in you and are conducting an expieriment to see who if anyone will notice or call you on it. You have all been very good test subjects.

That is my excuse, it is a good excuse. Smile

Hi. And Ok, it is always interesting to see where mods move a thread too.

I actually sort of meant it to be mt introductory thread that people could go where they wanted with.

in that case, you can create one in the Welcome New Members forum. create an intro there.

if you really want this thread there, hit my pm and that can be arranged

Nah, not a big deal. It being moved here was part of the 'seeing what would happen with it'. Besides, I probably wouldn't have found this part of the forum for another day or two if you hadn't. Tongue

that's very noble of you.

I probably would have poured a pitcher of water into the book drop so they wouldn't know that it was me who caused the ruination of my book alone, and instead attributed it God or someone.

which you might say is even nobler. yup, i'm just that sort of guy who goes out of my way to affirm other people's faith.

I am utterly shocked and appaled... at myself.
