Yinz got bookz?

I sell Action Figures at the Bookstore.





Well, I actually sell a lot of different things at the Bookstore.

People come in and say, "What's all this, I thought you were a bookstore."

Yes, we are a Bookstore but in the age where people come in and look at books and then go and order them online, with nary a feeling towards the future of the Open Mind, we have to sell more than books.

Some people even ask for paper and pencil to write down their choices.

Here is what they say.

"Oh, I'm writing these down:

a) so I don't forget

b) so I can give my daughter and son a list of what I want

c) so I can check and see if I have these at home,

or

d) so I can pick them up next time."

Pretty clever.

For a long time I held my tongue. I even had some 'Christians' come into the store and have me look up some Aramaic translations of the Bible. I even gave a woman the isbn numbers (it was a long time ago). As they left the good 'Christian' woman looked back at me and laughed because she had pulled the wool over my eyes.

And they call 'new age' a cult.

Isn't evil, evil?

If you use evil to fight so called evil, it's still evil.

If you torture people to save other people, you are still committing acts of evil.

Anyway, I also sell actions figures.

Why?

Because the appeal to my sense of irony and because they make people laugh.

The other day, a customer asked, "what do people do with these?"

I just said that they were for fun.

No response.

That they made people laugh?

Nothing.

I used to be that serious all the time. Thank goodness that I'm not anymore.

We can all use a good laugh, especially when we have so many evil 'good' people running around, with no ability to think for themselves or to think beyond themselves.

I love humanity, it's people I can't stand.
