    Okay, so way back in Season 1 Episode 16 of this podcast, I did an episode called Stanky Patrons and Other Dusty Turds. In that, I introduced the concept of the woefully stinky patrons we often had to deal with at my "liberry" and it’s the first appearance of their king, Mr. Stanky. And because…

  28. TFT"LC" SPECIAL: B-Sides & Rarities (Part 1)

    Over the two years that I've been adapting entries from the Tales from the "Liberry" blog, there have been occasions when I've recorded entries for an episode and then removed them during editing. Sometimes this was for purposes of keeping an episode below a certain length; sometimes because...

  29. EPISODE 051 (251): The Graduate and Other Penultimate Tales Told Out of Order

    For the penultimate episode of this podcast, I chose to tell some stories `bout my goodly wife. Unfortunately, because I recorded this particular episode, like, a month and a half ago, I've been doing callbacks to the references in it not realizing I hadn't made them yet. Among these references...

    (A BONUS REPOST IN HONOR OF A DUMBASS THING I'VE DONE THIS WEEK.)

    (BONUS REPOST IN HONOR OF MR. KRESKIN'S APPEARANCE ON THIS WEEK'S PODCAST) One of the most astounding figures I encountered during my time at the "liberry" was our board president, Mr. Kreskin (not his real name). He was a very nice and capable human being, tirelessly juggling multiple…

  33. EPISODE 050 (250): Moving Days Part 1

    When writing the original Tales from the "Liberry" blog, I often wrote multi-part stories some of which would span a week at a time. In July of 2008, I began a 21 part epic story called Moving Days that not only chronicled the journey my wife and I made in moving from Tri-Metro to a new home in...

  34. EPISODE 015 (215): BookSaling Away (BONUS REPOST)

    (BONUS REPOST IN HONOR OF MR. SMILEY'S APPEARANCE THIS WEEK) Booksales. They're a necessary evil when it comes to "liberries." Where else are we going to get rid of the piles upon donated piles of Chicken Soup for the Dickweed's Soul, or any given Mitch Albom book? But they're a colossal pain in...

  35. Tales from the "LiberryCAST" SPECIAL: The BIZGIRL Interview

    This is a special episode that doesn't directly adapt any of the entries from my original Tales from the "Liberry" blog, but which does feature an interview with a fellow former library blogger who was an influence on my blog.

    (A BONUS REPOSTED SHOW IN HONOR OF THIS WEEK'S EPISODE "BUSTED!") An odd tale of an odd bird encountered in the wild, AWAY from the "liberry" proper. Doc Ock Fetishist Woman was never a patron, but she was about as nutty as any of our patrons ever got. Not a bad human being in the slightest, just...

  39. EPISODE 048 (248): Dawn of the Book Hoarding Bizatch!

    I personally had many enemies (rogue patrons) during the writing of the original Tales from the "Liberry" blog. However, the collective library staff and at least one of the members of its board of directors had an arch nemesis for the better part of a year--a "book hoarding bizatch" I called…

    An assemblage of seemingly random tales (no, I didn't roll actual dice to choose them this time), of fun, frustrating, exuberant, and occasionally mystifying experiences I had from across the spectrum of my "liberry" career. Guest stars include, Cap'n Crossdresser, Barbara Turdmurkle (though you...

  41. EPISODE 12 (112): Conspiracy Theory and Other Abused Substances

    Among existing "liberry" patron archetypes, Conspiracy Guy and Stoner Lad are probably two of the more universal ones. Every library has them, sometimes in multiples. We did as well, but there were two specific people that embodied these roles for me. Alas, by the time I began to write my blog,...

  42. EPISODE 046 (246): DirecTV Sucks Ass

    Those of you who have ever had service through DirecTV probably already know this, but it has been my experience that it sucks ass. A lot of ass. Copious amounts of ass. And not in a good way. I don't want to say that as a media distribution corporation they're a bunch of dirty liars willing to...

  43. EPISODE 045 (245): Cross Words

    One of the patrons who I assumed would remain my arch-enemy for the life of the blog was Grumpiest Old Man in All the World, Mr. B-Natural. This turned out not to be the case, as by the time I ended the blog in 2008, Mr. B-Natural had stopped actively trying to piss us off and we had developed...

  44. EPISODE 044 (244): One Day in Tibet

    I'm no stranger to anniversaries. They happen every year. I've tried to keep secrets about my wife's birthday that have left me stranded and screaming in the middle of an interstate on more than one occasion after she pulls those secrets out of the air, seemingly by means that might even be…

  47. EPISODE 042 (242): The DAVEinci Code

    There are many books that are problematic for libraries. However, beyond the contractor's manuals, the three major tomes that created the most headaches for us were "The Da Vinci Code," "A Child Called It," and "The Five People You Meet in My Ass." These were wildly popular books that were...

  48. EPISODE 041 (241): The Triumvirate of Skeez

    Looking at the subjects studied in this week's podcast, I note that they are three separate men who skeezed out or were otherwise nasty to our staff during three separate decades, the 80s, 90s and 00s. Then, all three returned in the oughts to skeez out a new generation of library assistant, i.e....

  49. EPISODE 040 (240): Dangerous Habits

    One of the most colorful of our area eccentrics was a lady that we and the rest of the town knew as The Purple Nun. She was a lady who was always garbed in a purple nun's habit and carried the lifestyle to new and astounding levels. Hers was a strange and interesting life, which we only learned…
