What did you call it? A 'legendary roster of degenerates'... Something must have tickled your fancy, then.

[acutereasoner]

I had erroneously assumed tracking down twelve men who managed to escape from a maximum security prison would have posed more of a challenge.

[docwithablog]

You -- did that on your own? Seriously, I'm one phone call away, Sherlock! And always up for catching degenerates.

[acutereasoner]

The entire affair was hardly worth my time - forgive me for not wanting to waste yours as well.

Honestly, you would think it would take some small measure of intelligence to escape from a maximum security prison, but evidently all that is required is a dash of outside assistance and an ounce of sheer dumb luck.

[docwithablog]

Let's say that maximum security prison symbolizes life and those criminals are most people navigating it. Outside help and dumb luck, that's how most of us do it.

[acutereasoner]

That's because most people aren't especially competent.

[docwithablog]

Yes, good. At least you don't bother with faked compliments.

[acutereasoner]

I am a professional seeker of truth, John. I won't deface it to bolster someone's ego or omit it to spare their feelings. I present the facts as they are; it is up to everyone else to live with it.

[docwithablog]

So everyone else has discovered.

Tell me, then, how this feat of yours proved so surprisingly easy, undoubtedly thanks to your always superior intellect. I'm giving you the chance to show off here.

[acutereasoner]

I would regale you with the details if I thought they had any entertainment value whatsoever.

I'm afraid this entire affair would make for a rather disappointing blog entry.

[docwithablog]

I'm actually a very good blogger, you realise. I'd probably be able to add something.

[acutereasoner]

I don't doubt your ability to embellish the truth. Quite the contrary: I shudder to think how a man of your creative bent might tamper with the facts.
