Now I will tell you all about the most interesting place to be a Smurf.
the Library- that's the University Library, a very big building filled mostly with books and book shelves.
The Library Smurf differs from the other Guards because we stay in the same place all the time and we handle problems more directly than the "Watch and Radio it in" policy of the outside Smurfs.
I will start by identifying the Library Guards in true smurf-like fashion: (I am going to leave but you the reader can feel free to add in the smurf extensions to each name)
1. Gungho otherwise known as Hervy (not his real name- heck I am not sure I either remember or even knew his real name)
2. Player- otherwise known as Butter. Think smooth as butter and you will get an idea of what Butter was like
3. Vintage- otherwise known as Codger. He had come up from ticket writing and always seemed stuck between the two jobs. His nickname is an age reference since he was at least 20 year older than the rest of us- no I never knew exactly how much older.
4. Russian- otherwise know as the Russian or Brarishnikov (ok his name was something else but I am not telling you or anyone else what it really was he was a good guy but weird like the rest of us) Yes he was actually a Russian from Russia.
5. Deputy- otherwise known as Barney Fife. There is always a "Barney Fife" type character on almost every security guard force I have ever seen. Barney Fife is the quintessential bumbling by-the-book often over equipped stereotype that inevitably appears on the force. Our Barney Fife was a close match to the Mayberry one.
6. Brainy- (that's me) otherwise know as Sidekick, since I guess I was always party to everything.
and lastly
7. Danger- othersie know as Hervy's brother or Kruger (and no I have no idea what his name was or why we started calling him Kruger)
There were also the Library staff and Admins who now that I think about it had a lot in common with Gargamel and his minions.
The more notable ones were:
1.The Ogre (don't the Shrek in this case) think Gargamel or Sauron. He was seldom seen, often heard and always felt as the chief admin of the library. In the Library he was the King (at least in his own mind) Funny I saw his offices regularly but almost never saw him.
2. The Psychophant- deliberately mispelled and reworded- should be Psychotic sycophant but psychophant worked better. She was the foaming at the mouth, eager to please her dark masters assistant Admin of the building and unlike her boss was often seen, always avoided and thought she was the quuen bee of the library.
