Non-religious pet peeves

[Amicale]

Buying an interesting looking used book at a rummage sale that is 346 pages in length, only to discover that pages 340 through 346 have either fallen out or have been torn out. Ack!

Oh, man. That's a bummer. That happened to me once with a brand-new book I bought at Barnes and Noble. It had been bound with about 30 pages just missing from the middle. Didn't discover it till I was reading it and really into the story. B&N didn't give me any problem with exchanging it, though.

Hope you find a new copy of the book. That's why I've converted to Kindles.

I love my Kindle. However, there's also a great joy I take, in just holding a book and turning the pages. I wound up finding another copy of it at the used bookstore by my house, and because I know the girl who works there, she was VERY nice and let me photocopy the last few pages, so I am happy now. But I STILL think that before someone puts on a rummage sale, they ought to quickly check over the books they're selling to make sure there aren't a bunch of obviously torn out pages/damage to the book. Then again, I should have checked it before I bought it, so mea culpa too.

You know Latin? SQUEE! I thought my mom, her brothers, my cousins and I were the only people on the planet who still referred to things in Latin. Semper Ubi Sub Ubi!

Nolite te bastardes carborundorum!  (Learned that joke from the romantic comedy, The Hanmaid's Tale by good ol' Maggie Atwood*)

Do not light fire to you bastards? I'm assuming that's the translation.

I like the title of Terry Pratchett's novel featuring vampires, Carpe Jugulum.

I wish it was the first. Even the second would suffice. But it is much more the latter.
