Customer was asking for Roberto Bolaño, but I heard "Roberta Bell Onion." Now I'd really like to read the works of Roberta Bell Onion.

Customer just requested & immediately spurned a book recommendation, saying "OK, I'm a busy man." Don't tarry, Douchelad, go save the world!

"An Anthropologist Looks at History." Shelve in anthropology or history? Screw it, from now on all books shelved in a big pile on the floor.

Inventing a portable iPod charger; it harnesses the energy teens expend brushing emo hair out of their eyes. Ha! Actually I could use one.
