GUEST LIST! --> 6. Overheard at the Public Library

Our first guest list comes to us courtesy of the original Listy Borden, my listical inspiration, DeAnna Howard Rigney, a supervisor at the public library. Herewith, her list:

Overheard at the Public Library by DeAnna Rigney
1. "I'm very pro-colon health."
2. "Rumor has it that Michael Jackson is not dead. He faked his death and is living in a trailer park with Elvis."
3. "We could make a guillotine."
4. "You got a spare library card I could use?"
5. "You may not want to carry radium around in your pocket, but it's not gonna poison the continent the way plutonium will."
6. "I just left the Goodwill and they said you was hiring." (Because that's where we post our open positions...doesn't everyone?)
7. "Strangely enough a child cannot be used as a valid ID."
8. "Your day may be shitty, but you aren't."
9. "I need Alice in Wonderland. You know, the aminated one."
10. "You work in a communist library!"

And the Number of the Counting Shall Be...

Thanks to Listy Michael Paddock, who reminded me that I did not number the latest list. The problem has been remedied.

Speaking of Listies, the original Listy Borden, DeAnna Rigney, an ardent and obsessive listmaker from way back, will be submitting a guest list soon. She has been phoning in updates from her satellite phone on location at the Institute for Better and Fuzzier Lists in Homer, Alaska, and it looks like the list is gonna be a good one. Stay tuned.

5. Things Artistic/Liberal People Are Surprisingly Conservative About

1. Wearing hats indoors.
2. Subscribing to a particular political point of view.
3. The use of technology (i.e. cell phones, social networking, etc).
4. Realism in art.
