Milk Cartons, Puppies and Body Language, and oh yeah, porn.

As I took my seat for the Fairport Edition of the library forum, a man to the left and front of me turned and peered over his glasses with his gaze in my general direction. He approached me as if I knew the secret handshake. Was it my tattoo, a non-Übersoft laptop or my Eurotrash bifocals, pardon me, progressive lenses that gave me away? He looked like one of those ACLU types. You know what I mean, right? His hand outstreched offering me some papers. I feared that he might actually be distributing porn. He wasn't. He was handing me printed relevant information to tonight's topic.

Surrounded by some of the most inane paintings I've seen in quite some time, the fear was splattered about the room like a blender missing its lid. Wait a second, did you just say that my kids may end up on a milk carton if they go to the library? According to this speaker that is a possiblity should the library sickos act upon their impulses.

Or is it possible that they may end up attending a wonderful university because they had been exposed to topics that titillated their creativity and lust for knowledge.

The crowd was split as before with some repeat performances and some debuts. However, not split by the Almighty aisle into The Left and The Right respectively, but mixed together within the Cuisinart of societal discourse while unaware of who was sitting next to you until you heard an Amen, a sigh, a snicker or a chuckle in response to the speaker's comments.


Considering that this was the second of two forums falling within National Library Week, do three no shows by Maggie count as a Cut and Run?

Note: A Doc Martens search test, via The Google and embedded links, was performed this evening at the Fairport Public Library with success in the quest for my favorite alkali resistant footwear. The verification survey continues.
