I'm including a scan of the actual Harper's piece. It is humorous they couldn't handle CLG's unique numbering system and had to shorten it a bit. Here's a link to the CLG in question. Initially attracted to CLG by the Bil Keane Watch, Harper's decided to focus on this librarian item instead. Fallout will follow.

Authentic Paper Towel From the Library of Congress Men's Restroom

In 2007 I attended a workshop held in the Library of Congress on the subject of cataloging rare maps. While I was there I used the men's restroom and kept a paper towel which I have since treated as if it was Holy Relic. Here is the envelope containing the Authentic Paper Towel From the Library of Congress Men's Restroom, next to a wood relief of a cat ringing a bell heralding the awesome presence of this worldly vestige of wonderfulness.


The cat is very serious. As you can see by this closeup, it appreciates the gravity of what I am about to do with the Authentic Paper Towel From the Library of Congress Men's Restroom. Note the lack of visible means of support for the bell, lending an air of mysticism to this event.


Here are the actual words I wrote on the envelope containing the Authentic Paper Towel From the Library of Congress Men's Restroom. They read: "Authentic Paper Towel From the Library of Congress Men's Restroom." The writing has faded a bit since 2007. That is due to the fact I bequeathed this item to another library worker who had it on display for awhile, as did her successor. But somehow fate brought the Authentic Paper Towel From the Library of Congress Men's Restroom back to me. There are no coincidences. This was meant to be.


And here the Authentic Paper Towel From the Library of Congress Men's Restroom is actually being removed, ever so briefly, from the envelope and displayed in full glory. Yes, you are permitted to gasp in ope mouthed awe.


Here is a cup I purchased while I was in the Library of Congress. It includes an illustration of the corner of the building where the workshop was held. I could see the Capitol and the Supreme Court buildings from my classroom! And it was in this wing of the Library of Congress building that I found the Authentic Paper Towel From the Library of Congress Men's Restroom. A moment that has burned into the very marrow of my cranial case.


Now I have returned the Authentic Paper Towel From the Library of Congress Men's Restroom into the envelope and stapled it to ...


The Bulletin Board! One day in the future someone will perform an excavation on this board and among the many items they will find will be the Authentic Paper Towel From the Library of Congress Men's Restroom. And good fortune shall befall them.

The End.

Bezango: Ted Bundy-- Elected Official?

Olympia Power & Light # 39 (July 27-August 9, 2011).

Ted Bundy was not only politically active in Olympia, he was a rising star in the Washington State Republican Party. It is chilling to consider the potential of how far he could've gone in government policymaking if his campaign shenanigans had not been uncovered.
