Apparently still on the lam. [link] Edit: Better! FBI Top Ten! [link]

Also, the Winter Hill of the Winter Hill Gang is Somerville, not Boston, and someone's mother or something used to live across the street from my aunts, and there was a huge bust of a weapons cache there once.

Oh, I thought I recognized that story, Jesse. (/criminal activity likes carrots.)

I actually blame my love of politicians on a lengthy chat with Billy Bulger at an impressionable age. He is one charming motherfucker, I tell you what.

Huh. I think I just got shanghaied into an internal promotional video. I am particularly weak willed during a migraine, if you can get me to respond.

I'm not surprised. Seems essential for the modern crime boss.ETA: charm, not work videos!

Although, I do see the humor value in a promotional video by a modern crime boss.

For the record: I assume the criminal brother is charming as well, but I have never met him.

Ha ha. Hey -- we should stop saying "shanghaied," huh? It's worse than "gypped."

I'm behind, but... I'm mildly astonished to learn that it's unusual to throw a birthday party for oneself. Well, and yet have birthday parties. How does that work? Is this one of those things I missed learning in high school? I'm trying to think if I've ever been to a birthday party where the host wasn't the person having the birthday.

A friend did try to throw a surprise party for me once, but I unintentionally screwed his plan up enough that he had to tell me what was going on. And then I almost took his head off. Good times.

I don't know, I think it was orginally a reference to where the involuntary sailor was likely to end up, not who was doing the kidnapping. Does that make a difference to the level of offensiveness?

DH is supposed to get an offer from the small company that interviewed him ages ago but then lost it's budget for the position. The budget is apparently back.

Eep.

I'm being a rebel in my own mind. I am NOT packing tonight. OK, so I did throw a few items into the suitcase, but really. My flight doesn't leave until 6 pm tomorrow. I rarely takes me 30 minutes, tops, and all else I have to do tomorrow is straighten up and hit up Target or somewhere for batteries and face lotion. And take the cat to the vet and get cash and...but those are all en route things.
