Revenge on Click and ClackWalterGod save the catalog, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We might be able to extort a customization of the Libraries' van from Click and Clack, not necessarily to the extent of dropping a Dodge 413 ram-induction mill into it and installing an air-scoop, but just, oh, tinted windows, pinstriping, glasspaks, mag wheels, Hurst shifter, etc. Perhaps Click and Clack would be willing to perform a sort of expiatory community service and help out at a reference desk for a couple of hours, kicking off the Libraries' "Celebrity Reference" series. Or maybe they could run the elevator at RSC for a morning that the movers are there, and call out the collections as it makes its oceanic way from floor to floor. I think, though, that since they returned the book, and because they have accumulated grace by being funny and informative in the media and by starting Hacker's Haven, and because they are from the 'hood, that perhaps we should lay down our righteous wrath and embrace Click, and even Clack! in a spirit of millenial forgiveness.
Eternally, for now,
WayneAnn and Underlibbers, I think that since the Magliozzis are the car boys and we are the book boys (and girls), we should propose some sort of car/book reversal to them, e.g.: -Ask them if our director of libraries (or even our head of serials cataloging) can borrow their car and be fairly unspecific about when we return it to them. -Ask them if they'd devote an upcoming episode of their show to "Book Talk", during which people call in with various book-related questions. Ann could be their special guest, but all three would make their best stabs at questions such as
