My hope is that they won't be able to find Baltimore. Not the brightest bulbs in the chandelier, I'm guessing.

My fear is that they will intimidate our patrons.

Well, maybe the whole thing won't come off. If it does, I'll let you all know what happens.

Or, to quote Pope Leo III on the occasion of the investiture of the archbishop of Trebizond, "You can buy deer urine at Walmart in the hunting supplies and put it in a Super Soaker and whatever you hit with it is going to stink so hard they'll vomit on themselves, which only makes the stink worse. Whew!"

Not that I'm inciting anything, of course. Perish the thought.

On chat, ImaginalDisc suggested we give them all visitor's passes...in the shape of a yellow Star of David.

Issue them yellow visitor's passes cut into the shape of the star of Solomon.

That'd stop them cold.

D'oh, beaten to it!

That sounds like effort. Just ignore them.

They aren't going to get anywhere near the library without a police escort. They will either be arrested in Bowie, or killed, or they will acquire the aforementioned police escort.

Unfortunately I have some experience with Neo-Nazis coming to my neighborhood as well. Local police differ in their opinion of how much they should do to keep the Neo-Nazis from getting killed. Occasionally they demand money, arguing that they have no obligation to do anything beyond escorting the Neo-Nazis out of town.

Take your recording equipment to work. Any trouble and you use it.

recording equipment means camera (of any sort) or cassette tape.

Going on that article, they might spontaneously start assassinating each other.

If it's of any comfort, shortly after I became public relations manager for our library, Dr. Laura called for demonstrations against public libraries across the country in protest of the fact that R-rated movies were available for check-out and because libraries did not filter internet access.

So, being filled with enthusiasm for my new job, I dragged myself out of bed the Saturday morning the demonstrations were supposed to happen and spent the entire morning at the Central Library in case things turned ugly and the media showed up.

Not even the demonstrators showed up. That's right, not even one.

As a child of the sixties, I was appalled. You can't GET good demonstrations going any more. :D

Progress report:

For the first time in 30 years, I am wearing a Star of David to work. I thought it would be appropriate.

ETA is 3pm. Right now it's 90 degrees with a heat index of 99. I'm hoping that if they are actually smart enough to read a map and find their way, they will be in full uniform. I'd love to see some heat stroke going on.

My only exposure to Baltimore comes from David Simon's book "Homicide" and his TV show "The Wire". Both give the impression that Baltimore is very adequately supplied with firearms and has no shortage of young black men prepared to use them to the chagrin of persons who displease them. Is this impression accurate and if so could the Commander Rockwell Memorial Caravan be in for a more exciting day than they might wish?

Well, it's after 4pm and they're a no show. We close at 5pm. I'm thinking they were unable to read a map to get here.

Gee. I'm disappointed. :rolleyes:

Congratulations - and maybe they accidently huffed a load of Zyclon-B. I'd laugh!!

My impressions of Baltimore come from Ace of Cakes (Food Network show about a cake shop in Baltimore called Charm City Cakes) and the musical "Hairspray". Rats seem important.

From Hairspray ("Good Morning, Baltimore"):

"The rats on the street,
All dance around my feet.
They seem to say,
"Tracy, it's up to you."

Neo-nazis? Baltimore? Didn't show up?

Guess they were smarter than I thought!
