Let's eat peanut butter
Andy Woodworth, popular NJ Librarian and friend, suggested that I illustrate the response to his tweet from the recently retired Old Spice Guy (OSG). The response, if you’ve not seen it, is a video in which OSG talked up some of the benefits of libraries, which in turn started some larger conversations and discussions about the interactions of commercial ventures and libraries and what that means. Andy details the exchange here.
The video stated, in typical genius, free-thought OSG style:
“I’m handsome. You’re pretty. Let’s eat peanut butter. Stop throwing pigeons. Jump onto that giraffe.”
Nice work, Andy, for keeping the discussion on libraries public and active, and we’ll miss you, OSG.

I think this would make an awesome totebag. It would confuse the heck out people, but have meaning to those who carry it. LOL

What makes you think we would play strip poker with you? . And if all of us ended up naked at the end with a pair of drunk girls, only good things could
