Sexy Librarians

I guess even librarians aren't immune to the retarded-ass lawsuit bug
Librarian Sues Harvard Over 'Pretty' Bias

Her picture is attached to the story. She ain't that pretty. and her credentials are fine, but hardly spectacular for a Harvard librarian. She doesn't even have a doctorate, she only has 2 masters degrees. 2 masters degrees (1 in library science, 1 in another subject) or a doctorate (in library science) is currently the MINIMUM requirement for a regular UC Librarian. you mostly have to have the doctorate to have the higher postions

And you find librarians in strange places:

*if this was a movie anyone was actually going to watch, and if the plot wasn't so standard, there would be spoilers below*

This weekend the Extremely Goofy Movie was on the Disney channel, so I watched it while I was making cupcakes. A quick imdb search tells me this was a direct to video movie released in 2000. For a straight to video movie, it was actually good. I never watched the goof troop, or the first movie based on the goof troop show, so this was entirely new to me. Goofy, the doting father is sad to see his son, Max, go off to college. Max, ever the teenager, packs everything up and rushes out of the house on move in day, leaving only his favorite squeaky bear toy behind, the last remnant of his childhood that goofy has. Distracted by the end of an era, goofy gets fired from his job and can't get a new one because he only finished 3 years of college, and all jobs now require a degree.

so, on day two of college, or whatever, goofy shows up at max's dorm and moves in down the hall. much embarassment ensues over things like forcing max to wake up early to eat breakfast, and since goofy hasn't been in college since the 70's he somehow things that's how college kids dress and shows up to class wearing a leisure suit and afro wig (even though he dressed perfectly normal before)

so goofy and max are studying at the library, and max's friends want him to ditch the dead weight so they can go skateboard. so max marches goofy up to the librarian to get a library card so goofy will be distracted enough so max can slip away.

they walk up to the mousy, brainy head librarian, Miss Marpole (voiced by everyone's favorite Bebe Neuwirth), who gives a little speech about being versed in all library policy blah, blah, blah. she obviously doesn't get much attention. and then she gets very excited when she hears someone actually wants a library card. Ignoring the fact that the head librarian of a university would never have that sort of job, or advertise the fact that she knows all there is to know about checking out books etc as opposed to research-- anyway she gets much better right about now. as she's handing over the form to goofy, he asks about her "genuine mood ring" and of course goofy is wearing one too. and the reminisce about the good old days. and then goofy asks her out! and of course mousy librarian transforms into a sexy disco diva, and they dance the night away. (later there's another date where fondue is in the background. it's a pretty good touch because attention isn't really called to it) then they end up walking through the park, or something and goofy, being dumb like all boys, is too lame to make any moves, and she finally sits him down on the park bench and kisses the boy. Way to go mousy librarian!

as far as positive librarian images go, i think this one is up there, except for that brief know-it-all part in the beginning she may be the best librarian who doesn't fight vampires.

anyway, i'm sure you're all dying to know the ending. goofy graduates after a year, still dating the librarian. Max has 3 yrs left to go, and we all believe that now he can handle it on his own. we all learn a valuable lesson about family support and focusing on your goals. and everything works out in the end.

oh yeah, there's also the main plot about some extreme sports competition. but what do i care about dumb boy things?
