It seems that it is once again time for a periodic reminder of what behavior is acceptable where. Congratulations, everyone: it has been eight (8) months since my last post on this topic. A new record! However, let us not rest on our laurels, as I have recently borne witness to some of the most horrifying behavior yet.

Acceptable Library Behavior:
› Reading
› Quiet contemplation
› Listening to music
    › This insistence on Philip Glass over, say, Chopin continues to grate, but that is a topic for another time.
› Studying without narrating your thoughts aloud

Unacceptable Library Behavior:
› Eating fragrant foods
› Making out like a pair of schoolchildren
› Loudly humming to the aforementioned classical music, and in the wrong key
› Clipping your toenails ‼️

You may be asking yourselves: "Niko, surely no one is clipping their toenails in the library. Why even add that?" I regret to inform you that I saw it with my own eyes (I will not name names), and that it is the worst thing I have personally witnessed since Shaq's album release party in 1993. (Did you know Shaq released an album? Now you do.)

It is a small ship. Let us try to be kind to one another! And, if at all possible, spare each other such unpleasant sights.

my gran and all her friends loved you.

I’m going to have to redirect some of that bourbon I was going to share with you to Novak. Soothe the nerves after a fatal hit.

[murphyy]

[...] it's just the truth, de vries.

[philiip]

You know it’s dangerous to scare pensioners.

[oneirophrenic]

Et tu, Philip?

[philiip]

Remember when I was distressed about my first grey and I came to you and you took out your comb and fixed your hair right in front of me?

[oneirophrenic]

Philip, you have wonderful hair. It's easily on par with mine.

[philiip]

That's what you should have said five years ago.

[oneirophrenic]

I'm more than happy to praise you now.

Noldana.

[adrii]

Don't.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

Is he off limits? Because that ship has already sailed.

[murphyy]

i didn't realize the truth was so scary.

[philiip]

Not many people fully grasp how sensitive men, particularly men who are former daytime soap stars, can be about certain things.

[murphyy]

i think he'll be okay. i'm not sure he's earned my bourbon for being beloved by grans.

[philiip]

At the very least, we'll have to check his blood pressure.

[murphyy]

think it was high before i ever said a word based on the complaints.

[...] Well! Your grandmother clearly had good taste.

[murphyy]

she was a bit loony, but she did usually have good taste.

[oneirophrenic]

You can stop any time.

[murphyy]

my gran was the best. it's no insult.

casiko.

[oneirophrenic]

Oh. Well. [...] Thank you, then.

casiko.

[murphyy]

you're welcome. [...] tv's been a waste of space for twenty years, you probably shouldn't sweat it so much.

casiko.

[oneirophrenic]

[...] I do my best to keep up with some of the trends in pres city media. It is fascinating. Lacking soul and artistic integrity, highly propagandistic, but there are a few interesting qualities.

[murphyy]

it’s horrific.
