[Publib] Can we talk about funny names for patrons?

[Audrey DeVillier]

We have "The Pterodactyl," an autistic savant in his early 20's dropped
daily at our library by his weary grandparents.  He mainly stays on the
computer, but when upset, he rushes through the library flapping his folded
arms and squawking like.... a pterodactyl.

We once had a summer worker who dressed in skateboarder fashion, complete
with an oversized license-plate belt buckle that read "SPNKME."  He will
forever be known as "Spank Me Boy."

Then there's a loose contingent of guys who visit the library sans sleeves
and also have in common a habit of trying to flirt with me through the
glass wall separating the main library from the tech room.  A circ employee
noticed this and dubbed them "Audrey Jo's Tank Top Posse."  (I wish I knew
what attracted them so I could do the opposite!)
