Hand me the fucking keys, you cocksucker, what the fuck?
You’d think that I’d have enough of catalogues and that sorta stuff at work, wouldn’t you? But you’d be wrong. A while back I stumbled across Library Thing, but didn’t use it that often.

If you search for insulting words or browse through our collection of insulting words, you may be insulted

Isn’t work weird?
Isn’t it strange what you come across in the course of a day? There I was doing the ILLs when I saw an intriging article title before me: “Vacum Cleaner Injury ” of the Penis. Their quotation marks not mine. Can you guess what the artilce, from 1960 was about? Yup, fellas trying to obtain […]
College work
Well it is the end of another day in which I got no work done. Okay I did manage to make it to the library and read a couple of articles but I really wanted to have finished my website evaluation, if only to read it and tell myself “that’s shite, do it again”. Still […]
