    I read one of the Jack Reacher books on accident and have spent the rest of forever trying to bleach it out of my brain.

    I hate it when one of the characters does something that's obviously stupid or out of character so the badguy can kill/kidnap/rob someone or get the drop on the hero. That's just plain lazy writing.

    Do they make squirrel-sized PD uniforms? I'm assuming the suit was tailored.

    I'm big for my species. It's the slit in the pants for the tail that requires custom work.

    Kindle Unlimited is full of some obscure gems to be found among the turds. I use it for a light weekend read sometimes. In one unexceptional book, a minor character’s backstory was she had been abused and took up self defense and firearms training. Commendable, but I don’t think the author had done either one himself; this was confirmed when the character is badgered into Joining The Cause and shows up with an Uzi with a “four hundred round clip”.

    Must be one of those Uzis made in Hollywood, California.

    Same with movies

    The one that sticks with me is Speed, where at the beginning of the movie Jeff Daniels and Keanu Reeves are best buddies, like Crocket and Tubbs. Keanu was by himself on the movie poster, so you know sure as shit Daniel is dead meat before the first frame but could they do a better job of killing him off? The crazy maniac has wired up a bus so it will explode if it slows down, he has remote cameras rigged up so he can watch what is going on inside the bus, lets go to his last known address and crawl in a window...

    I'd recommend tucking that thing in. A slit in the pants makes it too easy for the chiefs to...drive their point home.
