That's Just Bully




I went to Nerd-a-rama for the weekly fix today. While there, I asked the young squire at the desk if he knew whether they had a copy, or could get a copy, of Tales From the Bully Pulpit. He giggled like a wee lass and suggested (sarcastically?) that I might try Batman instead, it's really cool. It's a man, who dresses like a bat. As opposed to ManBat, right? (That's a real, and very crappy, DC comic as well.)

Sure this kid's got cool hair - at least, it was cool when I had it back in '86 - but maybe if he's going to work retail, he should learn a tiny bit about the products he sells. Never heard of the obscure title the customer's asking about? Not a problem. Perhaps, you might want to find out about it, especially when said patron said he just lost an eBay auction for it where it sold for $67. Perhaps his manager might like a bit of that filthy lucre.
