Wierd librarian analogies

[bunnyjadwiga]

One of my colleagues was referring to the fact that a good proportion of our library-using students are actually "baby graduate students." Then someone else was talking about the rivalry between some professors and the librarians, that professors think they can teach everything the students need to know, etc... and all I could think of was:

"I found a nest of baby graduate students up in the Cornell room, but you know if you touch them and their advisor smells librarian on them, he'll abandon them, so there was nothing I could do."

um... yeah... I'm not sure if I like *snort* or *snerk* better for my reaction...

Alright... now I am trying to purge the image of those poor little baby graduate students (probably still naked), huddled together in their nest for warmth and comfort.

I am going to get you for that, you know...

No, no, they have pinfeathers and down! *giggling madly*

Well, you know, their advisor makes a nest of torn up term paper drafts for them...

"Baby graduate students"? Does this just mean "likely to become graduate students," or does it mean something more like "clearly talented at library research"?

[bunnyjadwiga.livejournal.com]

Well, it's 'likely to become graduate students' with the implication that they are therefore more likely to care about library research

I am horribly amused.
