In the segment about Nostradamus?
Today was a slow day. We had maybe 200 questions. But I swear, 75% of the motherfuckers were calling about that goddam fake quatrain that’s been making the email glurge rounds since Tuesday. The worst part is that they argue with you once you expose what a bunch fools they are. I had a high school history teacher try to tell me that since a friend of hers took the five fucking seconds to forward her that useless glurge, it must be true. I bet she works at a charter school.
The Public Library has no more books on Nostradamus. Repeat: the Public Library has no more books on Nostradamus. Your compadres in gullibility have already checked them all out. Not only are you an idiot, but you’re a late idiot.
I was the one who brought the snopes page to the attention of my colleagues yesterday.
But nooooo… Channel 19 decides to interview Don, the Reasonable Librarian, rather than Black455, the Militantly Anti-Nostradamus PSA, thus depriving me of my opportunity to act like a complete asshole to a bunch of simpering Bellheads who couldn’t tell a chemtrail from the herpetic pus dripping from Uri Geller’s wang without somebody there to explain it in small words with pictures.
I decided to go to lunch instead. Hence, the shot of my ass walking away, undulating seductively, hoping that Trish “the Dish” Mackey, anchorblonde extraordinaire, would catch a glimpse and be smitten.
My public better start appreciating me.
I feel the utmost sympathy, shock, disgust, etc, for the people who lost loved ones on Tuesday. I lost my grandmother Sunday, so this has been a pretty fucked up week for me. But the fact that events like these seperate the wheat of the profoundly stupid from the chaff of the merely dumb only serves to add to my disgust. Some people shouldn’t have access to the internet.
