I hope so. I wouldn't want his check to me to bounce.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.

Quote from: MuggsyB on October 19, 2025, 09:42:21 PMWell, I'm pretty sure I could annoy many members of the security team and create diversions.  But I would need a few no nonsense problem solvers because I don't like ladders. 

When I think of no nonsense problem solvers, I think of Scoop

Being There is one of the great movies of his.  Very prescient for our times still.

The fact that the Louvre heist didn't take place at dawn, but at the very reasonable hour of 9:30 a.m. shows that even French jewel thieves have a better work-life balance than us.�

Are we sure that the jewel thieves were French? People are saying it was antifa, with Soros' backing.

I have absolutely no doubt that you could annoy anyone and create diversions. You do both on Scoop on a daily basis.

They had coffee and croissants before the robbery and probably took a stroll along the Seine before going to work for the day. Very civilized, methinks.

Very good film and performance.  But Sellers was a tier 1 comedic actor.  Very few were/are at his super elite level.

This just proves you're severely unhinged.  And it's why I purposely try not to annoy you.  I don't want to put you in the hospital (or worse), so I dial down my relentless perstiferousness.  I've never even tried to annoy you.  So be grateful, thank me profusely, and hope beyond hope I don't use all the weapons at my disposal.

Quote from: GB Warrior on October 19, 2025, 08:55:31 PMMuggsy, what would your 5 pt plan be to rob the Louvre

My one-point plan would be to wait until a value has been established, and then offer to return the loot for 10%,, No Questions Asked, no prosecution.

Edit: And the police have to give me my ladder rig back. It's a really nice one.

I'm mostly just impressed that someone was able to find what they were looking for in the Louvre.�

pbiflyer

Stolen from the internet (shouldn't all comments about the jewel heist be?)

Someone should make a t-shirt that says: "Jewel heists are for Louvres."

MuggsyB

It sounds like the Louvre security was nowhere near where it should be.

You're right. Nobody got away with anyone's wealth or money in the financial crisis.

It's not the same thing and we're talking about movies.
