    I have a couple of CDs that were due back on November 14, 2004.

    What's the latest anyone's had some material out, and turned it back in?

    3 or 4 years. (I forgot they were checked out) The Public Libraries usually just have a max that they charge after a couple of months or so. (at least they did. )

    JERRY: Let me speak with the head librarian.. Because it's absurd. An overdue book from 1971?... This is a joke right? What are you, from a radio station? (Kramer enters) Ya' got me I fell for it. Alright, OK I can be down there in like, a half hour. Bye. (Hangs up)

    KRAMER: What's the problem?

    JERRY: This you're not goin' to believe. The NYPL says that I took out "Tropic of Cancer" in 1971 and never returned it.

    KRAMER: Do you know how much that comes to? That's a nickel a day for 20 years. It's going to be $50,000.

    JERRY: It doesn't work like that.

    KRAMER: (Further speculating) If it's a dime a day it could be $100,000.

    JERRY: (Thinking nothing of the fine) It's not going to be anything. I returned the book. I remember it very vividly because I was with Sherry Becker. She wore this orange dress. It was the first time I ever saw her in a dress like that. I noticed since ninth grade she was developing this body in secret under these loose clothes for like two years. And then one day.. (Scene flashesback to a beautiful young lady in an orange dress. Then returns to Jerry) That orange dress is burned in my memory.

    KRAMER: Oh, memory burn.

    You can get CDs at the library? Can you just copy them and bring them back?

    antisonic, are your books from the Houston Public Library, or the Harris County Library?

    If you have books that are outstandingly overdue, they might place your library account in a collection company.

    What they do at HPL is that if you do not return your items, they stop charging you late fees, and just bill you the cost of the items, and if your total fines are over 25 dollars they then put it in collection, and is reported to your credit report.
    As of I think October 2003, they started reporting them to collection fees.

    and yes, they do have CDs at the library.
    they also have feature films.
    you know, crap that comes in the theater.

    !!!
    This remind me.

    I saw Cynthia Hunt today. I fumbled around with my phone, and my camera that I keep around, was in my car.

    I nearly had an orgasmic experience. That was awesome.

    She is really pretty up close. She was talking on the phone real loudly.

    She seems like a b**** though.


    She was wearing these knee high boots. Man. I call them **** me boots. that **** starts with the F.

    She aint that great of a journalist, but she looks good.

    "Bookman's the name - I am a library cop."

    "Anyone here today have an overdue book?"

    "Yea, that guy over there - SINFIELD"

    "And how long was he overdue."

    "20 years."

    "20 years??!!"

    "Yea, they cease being delinquents by then."

    "Then what are they?"

    "Criminals!"

    Well, let me tell you something, funny boy. Y'know that little stamp,

    the one that says "New York Public Library"? Well that may not mean

    anything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of a lot.

    Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to. I've seen your type before:

    Flashy, making the scene, flaunting convention. Yeah, I know what you're

    thinking. What's this guy making such a big stink about old library

    books? Well, let me give you a hint, junior. Maybe we can live without

    libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to change

    the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right

    now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees

    and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers?

    Doesn't HE deserve better? Look. If you think this is about overdue

    fines and missing books, you'd better think again. This is about that

    kid's right to read a book without getting his mind warped! Or: maybe

    that turns you on, Seinfeld; maybe that's how y'get your kicks. You and

    your good-time buddies. Well I got a flash for ya, joy-boy: Party time

    is over. Y'got seven days, Seinfeld. That is one week!
