Do you have collector dreams ever, where you find one fo the world’s rarest things? I used to have dreams when I was a kid stamp collector of finding an inverted Curtis Jenny stamp.

Speaking of categories, I don’t even have one for “humor” what does that tell you…? The livejournal hydra has sprouted another interesting librarian group [that I found because they are hotlinking to all my naked librarian pictures] which brings us this parody.
