I don’t do memes

I don’t do memes.  Really  I don’t.

But...

Sometimes they’re just too hilarious to pass up.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, katiefoolery sent to me...

Twelve library technicians drumming

Eleven manners piping

Ten librarians a-leaping

Nine boots dancing

Eight turles a-reading

Seven books a-writing

Six libraries a-spelling

Five bla-a-a-ack books

Four teasing cats

Three charles dickens

Two strange horizons

...and a shounen-ai in an isobelle carmody.

Get your own Twelve Days:

I am beyond amused at the idea of librarians a-leaping all about the library, joyfully tossing the books back onto the shelves.  The reality is that library technicians usually do that - but it appears they’re too busy drumming, so it’s all left to the leaping librarians.

And I do believe that the eight Turleses are all reading the same book: How to Conquer the Universe Using Exotic Fruits.

I love how it begins to make sense, though.  “Seven books a-writing” - oh, if only.  If only the stupid things wrote themselves.  I hope everyone appreciates all these self-writing books I’m giving away.

As enamoured as I am of the reading Turleses (eight of them!  It’s like a dream come true...), I think my favourite is that last one.  It would certainly give Rushton and Dameon something to do when Elspeth abandons both of them to go off and save the world by angsting at it relentlessly.
