(Josh said it, not me): G.I. Johan – In Soviet Russia half the battle knows you!

So yesterday among the travels in the Haight was a stop in a crazy lady used book store. Like I mean crazy. As in kept going on about how people had beaten her up for owning a bookstore and she made no money and had no other skills and hated her job and couldn’t type and hated technology and the Chinese were going to destroy us all with magnetic bombs because we used the Internet too much and why she couldn’t buy hardcover books much because her profits were too low and … crazy lady did not stop.

Other people came in and she started to talk to them and tell them the same crazy and…

Gah.

anyway there was a book there, I didn’t get a picture because lighting was bad and she had so many signs around! So many! Such as:

No pictures! No we won’t tell you why!

Don’t reach for books above your head, ask for help!

Don’t carry a lot of books for purchase and then reach for another book! (I didn’t quite get this, I assume it was due to dropping things but it felt like being told not to buy much.)

So there were a lot of crazy signs and I didn’t get a picture of this book but it was some german book, old thing, with a few farmers and a swastika on the cover. Olde Timey Farmers, too. So I decided the book was The Rise of the Nazi Amish, a book I hope to write some day.

The store also had a copy of Little Orphan Annie (the movie novelization) in German. Which I think is Anne Frank, really. I mean … aren’t the same the same story, but for location and time?

But then there was escape. And survival.

Hurray!

So yes, crazy lady used book store. They happen. Be warned.
