Patrons from another planet

A patron came up to the reference desk this evening, stood in front of me with his eyes closed, and said "My altitude-challenged colonial friends tell me it's another beautiful day in Williamsburg."

I don't even know where to begin with that one. Or am I missing some kind of hilarious cultural reference?

I think it was still less creepy than last Friday afternoon, when a not-at-all-attractive patron came over, leaned on the desk in front of me, and said, "So, are you a volunteer here?" I know I work in a library, but come up with a better pickup line than that. He followed that gem up with "So, did you study libraries in college?" Jesus.

In other, less annoying library news, I get to teach a handful of information literacy sessions at my internship next month. They're for an education class on integrating technology into the curriculum, and the assignment I'm working with them on is creating a wiki to be used to share a literacy unit. They're using (and I'm going to be demonstrating) PB Wiki. I was playing around with it a little tonight at work and I think it's going to be fun.
