Uh Uh. Sorry. You must have the wrong Conan. The one I know only grunts and
flexes his muscles.
His 'conversations' usually go something like this.
Borrower No. 1: "Um, I seem to misplaced that book I borrowed. What's the
library policy on that?"
Conan: "Aaarrrrrgggh!" <slices borrower in two>
Borrower No. 2: "Hi, this books a little late..."
Conan: "Snaaaarrrrrgggh!" <slices borrower in two>
Borrower No. 3: "Could you tell me where I can find the loo..."
Conan: "Rrrrrraaaaagggh!" <slices borrower in two>
... Get the picture?
He seems awfully popular with the other librarians though...
