If Benny writes a best seller, he should be made mod of Thunderdome.

There are a number of more likely things to occur than Benny publishing anything in anyway, such as Benny getting a job or a girlfriend. Not much more likely, I'll grant you, but still fractionally so.

I'm reminded of the King of the Hill Episode where Peggy becomes a famous artist because her agent represented her as mentally challenged without her knowing. Someone could make a lot of money off Benny.

This needs to be on the new page. If a Benny sitcom or reality show ever gets put together, I think we found the theme song.

How's the library going, Benny? I think we'll forgive you for neglecting your thread if you've been seducing the hot chica behind the reference desk.

Colorfinger has done an incredible job with Benny's Lament.

I hate it when websites automatically play music when you visit them, but I think it would be fantastic if Benny's Lament played when folks clicked on THIS thread.

As a sequel I am working on another adaptation from Les Miserables. It is tough going though. I wasn't entirely happy with the last one but Colorfinger did very well with it.

Do you Hear the Posters Gripe? (Do you hear the people sing)

Do you hear the posters gripe?
Giving more advice again?
It is the music of a people
Who watched Benny fail again!
When the tapping of your hands
Echoes the banging of your heads
While we wait for his life to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join our hopeless fight?
Who will hope and stand with me?
Beyond those comic books
Is there success you long to see?
Then he calls in drunk
And loses his job again!

Do you hear the posters gripe?
Giving more advice again?
It is the music of a people
Who watched Benny fail again!
When the tapping of your hands
Echoes the banging of your heads
While we wait for his life to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you watch for oer a year
As he applies yet again
Carts will crash and trays will smash
As you watch on and laugh again.
Then watch on as he strives
To live his diapered dream!

Do you hear the posters gripe?
Giving more advice again?
It is the music of a people
Who watched Benny fail again!
When the tapping of your hands
Echoes the banging of your heads
While we wait for his life to start

They're very good and intelligent, these tapa-boys...
People keep mentioning Benny calling in hungover, but they leave out the best part--he wasn't going to be hungover at all. He just thought that would be the most fool-proof and professionally acceptable excuse for whatever mundane scheduling conflict he was anticipating. That was his cunning puppet-master plan.

I know, I know, it's old news. Sometimes I come back to this thread though and it still blows my mind.

If he doesn't want to fill us in on what's going on, we have no choice but to play the Guessing Game!

I reckon Benny showed up for his first library shift 2 hours early (to be super responsible). To kill time, he made his way to the comics section, where he got into an argument with an 8 year old boy named Cameron about who would win between Dark Phoenix and that big blobby pink dude from Dragon Ball Z. Cameron tired of verbal sparring and decided to start throwing hadukens at Benny, and Benny had no choice but to defend himself. The aspiring intern tried to do Blanka's flying ball self-projectile attack, forgetting for a second that he was not an electrified superhuman from a videogame. As he threw himself into an awkward somersault on the carpet, his body slammed into the shelves, knocking a full row of shelving over, which then caused the entire young adult section to topple like a row of dominoes. As the library staff hurried over to investigate, Benny looked around frantically and finally settled his eyes on the 8-year old standing shocked before him.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?" Benny yelled at the kid.

Unfortunately for Benny, their escalating antics had been observed by several library patrons, one of whom came over and just shook his head, sadly.

The observers all started talking at once about what they'd seen, and the librarian who'd interviewed Benny pulled him aside and said, "Listen Benny, maybe this position isn't the right fit for you. Perhaps you'd be better suited for..." He paused and his face contorted into a pained smile. "Uh, something else."

Benny went home and began to write a post on Something Awful about how his first day went pretty well, and he even had some deep interactions with the clientele, but in the end they wanted to use his talents elsewhere and they'd probably get back to him when they found such a position.

Before he could finish the post, an email notification appeared: his favorite webcomic had posted a new episode. The rest of the day was spent on that comic's forums vigorously defending a carefully constructed conspiracy theory about how half the characters in the comic were secretly Mexicans with a murderous past.
