If I Stole the Memorabilia

What you are about to read is entirely hypothetical...

Let's say I'm a famous former professional athlete. And let's further say that certain mementos of my career had fallen into the hands of others - and I wanted them back. How would I go about going to get them back? Hmm.

First I would have to develop a plan. Let's see, as a famous former professional athlete, my face would be familiar to thousands. Perhaps a covert plan would make sense. After all, bursting into a room to confront the scurrilous thieves would be foolish since they would all know who I am.

Next, I guess I would have to assemble a team. Perhaps a gang of gun-toting thugs is in order? No, I think I need more of an intellectual bunch. Someone who could disarm security and sneak around without detection.

I think that should cover it. Yes, if I stole the memorabilia, I think I would organize a gang of gun-toting thugs to shout obscenities and generally bully people around in a crowded hotel room until I get what I want.

But again, this is all strictly hypothetical.

What would make this more interesting is if you stole from individuals who would know you personally giving an even more sordid twist. I suppose one of those individuals could even be Leslie Nielsen (of Airplane fame) to be flabbergasted when you storm into the door.

Now, wouldn't it be even more unusual if Cato Cailin were in the room trying to get an autographed copy of "if it were me?"

You actually raise an excellent point. Last night I went next door and stole my neighbors kitchen table - during dinner! I don't think they'll ever suspect me. And even if they do, I'll just plead insanity. I think I've committed the perfect crime - except I should have grabbed that plasma TV instead.

Perhaps they were eating a TV dinner?

I always thought plasma tv was kind of a gross description of a very high tech product. If they had to use blood, then why don't they make the damn things red? I think this is an indication of corpuscle punishment.

When you consider the entire universe of bodily fluids, plasma actually rates pretty low in terms of "grossness". Just about any other fluid would render even a high-tech high-def TV a tough cell.

Well, you've got a lot of nerve! You struck me like a hammer hitting an LCD, or is that an MC Hammer? Either way, I don't think you should touch this.
