Pet Peeve: Library Book Defacers

After the E-pocalypse-- when the geek shall inherit the Earth-- people who deface library books (e.g. underline sentences, put rectangles around keywords, mark up text with highlighters, etc.), will face severe penalties. First-time offenders get defaced by lousy body art. Like cheap and ugly tattoos-- nothing cool, trendy or literate. Maybe like Barney the Dinosaur. Repeat offenders get those psuedo-Chinese calligraphy characters that just spell out gibberish nonsense.
