Here is an interview for Penthouse Magazine that I just did, some of it is old stuff but thopught i'd post it here just in case they edit it. Also this way you don't have go nervously into a newsagent to buy Penthouse magazine just to see the article.

Josh Earl is bringing SexyBack (to Libraries)

For the last four years Josh Earl has been a librarian. Although he doesn't look it (for this photo he took his glasses off and let his hair out) he works in a library for a school in Melbourne. Because this is Penthouse he can't actually name that school, in fact he's not even allowed to say the suburb in which it's located, but he can say it rhymes with Scollingwood.

Being a Librarian, women must think you're smart; do you get much attention from the ladies?
Librarians never tell. We hardly even speak, we're not allowed to.

Come on, you can tell us…
All I can say is that we do it quietly and in order.

With nerds becoming quite trendy what do you think it is that attracts people to Librarians?
Did you know that if you type cool into predictive text it actually spells book. Why? Because books are cool! Predictive text told me, so it must be true. Predictive text never gets things wrong.

Like most nerds do you get frustrated when people use grammar incorrectly?
The only thing that irritates me is when people use quotation marks "incorrectly". I think people are too precious about language. At work part of my job is to put up the 'Library is Closed' sign (hello ladies!), but because I work with kids I have to write so they can understand. So I modified it to read "In the words of Snoop Dogg -The Librizzle is Closizzled Todizzle" yeah, that's right, I went there.

Being a librarian you must love Melville Dewey for creating the Dewey Decimal System?
Attention, by checking Dewey every Friday (Googling him) it justifiably kept labelling Melville (not often publicised) quite racist. So, therefore, ultimately, vis-à-vis, wankers xenophobic. Yeah, Zany.

Wow, you just made an entire sentence where every word started with the next letter in the alphabet (a…b…c…etc)?
I have a lot of free time in the library.

Librarians are cool.

Also... if you type cock into predictive text and you go one to far you get anal. What is predictive text trying to tell me there?

Yay for promoting our profession to that untapped market in Penthouse magazine! Then again, I'm probably the only person who reads it for the articles...

And just in time for Library Lover's Day too...
