Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hahahaha!

People are idiots.

It is so hard to want to work with most of my department out today and all the bosses at a meeting out of town! Argh.

And criminals continue to prove that the reason most criminals do what they do is because they're to stupid to do anything else.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Except for high-end con artists, who as we all know from the movies are both smart and cool.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am now so in the mood to watch My Name is Earl.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

(x-post with brenda) Heh. This whole "crime makes you stupid" riff is totally going to send erika to her happy place.

I just finished reading The Big Con, a terrific book about large and small grifts and cons from shortly after the Civil War through the Prohibition era (and a major inspiration for the film The Sting), and it's full of stories of amazing, dazzlingly complex and sophisticated cons told to the author years or even decades later by one of the last two or three surviving participants in the cons, once it was finally, finally safe to tell the stories. They were all so pleased with themselves and so much enjoying telling their tales; it must've just killed them to keep silent all those years before.
