If anyone was at Diesel last night

And was talking about some random educational television show in which a librarian had to save humanity from the evil Wipers, I'm the guy who said that my wife would be able to find that info for you, because she is a librarian and can find everything.

I phoned her at work about an hour ago.

Wipers? As in they wanted to wipe out the books, or their electronic equivalents?

I haven't any idea. It was something people sitting near us at Diesel were talking about. They said "bad library science science fiction." It caught my attention.

The Librarian was played by Adrienne Barbeau, who also played Alice Cable on the television version of Swamp Thing, is the voice of Catwoman on one of the Batman animated series, was in Cannibal Women in the Avacado Jungle of Death, and was in an episode of DS9, and also in an episode of B5.

As well as a number of other camp/horror movies and stuff.

This all means that there may well be an Adrienne Barbeau action figure out there, which I could get for Lis, arguably, as part of her "Librarian Action Figure" collection.

Episodes 12 and 13 of that series are here. I don't think there are any action figures, though.

And...
