It started when the phone rang.
Dusty Tome looked up from the books he had been stamping and picked up the headset.
"Hello. This is the Fillydelphia Public Library."
"Ah, yes... I, uh, I am looking for a book. It's kind of an emergency. Really bad."
Dusty Tome's mouth creased into a slight frown. "What book are you looking for?"
"From what I understand, it's called Redhoof's Radical Guide for Radical Rituals. It's... kind of important that I find this book as soon as possible."
Dusty's frown deepened ever so slightly. "Sir, that is not a book we have."
"Is there anywhere I can find it?! I've been calling around to various libraries and some of them just laughed me away! I need to find it!"
"Sir, we do not have that book because that book does not exist. To my knowledge, that book title is popular around Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns as a sort of hazing ritual involving tricking a first year student into trying to find it for one of the older students."
...
"MOTHERFUCKER!!!"
*SLAM*
Oh the plan failed
oh well
He said mother fucker....... does that mean hes not a pony because they would say motherbucker?
Well, looks like he was smart enough not to waltz up to Twilight with his recognizable voice.
Oh well, guess that means more misadventures of a poor, foolish scammer for us to enjoy.

You kidding? He's been dropping f-bombs the entire story.
9275103
i just realised it
9275094
Yeah. Too bad, Sunset. Looks like your well-crafted plan was thwarted by the scammer, * dramatic gasp*, actually thinking for a change. Oh well, better luck next time.
Sunset really shouldve got Glimmer to make up a simple Wonka Jump Scare fake book for the fake book name, that way they could get Flourescene Pie Face?
With it being Halloween, Wouldnt Pinkie have dropped by Half a cupcake, Raspberry Jam centred?
And he still didn't get away from his phone? I'm beginning to suspect he's physically incapable of doing so.
funny, I hope dizzy is next or fithy rich
You know, I wonder how spoiled rich would react to a scam call
Hahahaha
I wonder what will happen when Legit calls Flim & Flam's resort.
Looks like Sunset should have gone with something less infamous.
I'm gonna bet that the next one's gonna be the Student Six's Leader (Besides Celestia & Luna)
In my high school it was infamous board stretcher for shop classes. This chapter is pretty much how it would play out with the poor student being told by what ever teacher decided to end their misery by informing them there there isn't such a thing as a board stretcher
Darn, I was hoping to see this guy captured. At least the librarian could have directed him to somewhere else because he knew it was a snipe hunt and now he just made it worse because he just will not stop.
Hah! So good. Do it again
9275480 I broke my teacher by inventing one.
And it worked.
Nothing can stop the madness that is Alondro!
9278190 Interesting I can picture one though there would be limited amount of stretch. They used to steam and bend wood something that isn't done much anymore
it going to be some namelss griffion or it going to be that crazy filly who try to take over everything, thought doing one with trike or crazy glow be funny
9278796 You use a series of enzymes from fungi to break down the cellulose, then impregnate it with elastic substances. I got the idea from seeing how certain shelf fungi could turn the inside of a species oak tree into a soft pith (making them weak and then snap off in high winds).
It only works on thin pieces of wood, and it's utterly impractical and useless for anything, but it worked!
Yes!
The Show Must Go On!

Omg, you crazy son of a bitch. That's beautiful.
Uhh. I'm not sure how, but i think your last two chapters just switched places
9284320 There is a thin line between certain types of insanity and genius.
You tend to cross the line when you invent something like Ebolaids or influenzika.
Sunset doesn't know the Ponyville library got blown up does she?
Oof, well, that plan didn't work, ah well, next time!
Ah, this brings back memories.
New sailors are often sent to gather a few gallons of prop and rotor wash so they can clean props or rotors. Prop and rotor wash is the air moved by propellers and helecoptor rotors.
New sailors are often sent to gather several yards of flight line. Flight line is where aircraft are parked.

Huh, never had either of those. When I went through, the two big ones were 'X feet of gig line' and 'a bottle of bulkhead remover'. One guy in my group got a Bravo Zulu for quick thinking when told to go get the bottle. He came back with a bottle of window cleaner with 'bulkhead remover' written on it.
Then I got to my ship and while there was fun with the nubs, I was a nuc, so we had WAY more fun messing with the airdales about nuclear stuff and what went on in the reactors. Best story of that is emptying a few chem lights into a bucket of ball bearings, going up to their berthing at night, emptying the bucket across the deck and yelling "NEUTRON SPILL NEUTRON SPILL!"
