zingerella: So,
library porn.
sabotabby: That's really hot.
sabotabby mutters some comment about shagging in Robarts.
Robarts Library, a.k.a. Fort Book.
zingerella looks faintly nauseated.
sabotabby: I just heard it was a good place to pick up.
[Sullenly] I wouldn't know. They never let me on the good floors.
zingerella: It's more like the setting for a BDSM porn. It's got cages, shit lighting...
sabotabby: Oppressive concrete...
zingerella: Can't you just see some dominatrix stalking through the stacks, forcing chinless grad students to read Kant?
sabotabby: You realize if I just post the words "Kant" and "porn" in my LJ I'll get about a million comments, don't you?
zingerella: There's just
something about sex in a building that looks like a giant turkey.
[Pause.] And I don't even
like porn.
[Pause.]
sabotabby: Well, neither do I!

Of course, that meant gutting the old building, adding two new walls, and entirely new interior. Nothing was left of the library I loved. But, there was much added room for DVDs and computers. Yay!
