I have a relative who loves the Hard Case Crime series, so I sent him the collected "Continental Op" stories. Along with "The Glass Key." I re-read them before I sent him, and the language in the Op stories is extraordinary!

As it is in "The Big Knockover." Just the names and bios of the crooks gunned down makes that one worth while!

I'm so embarrassed. I am going to go masturbate myself.

I think Joe (Pink Panties) Arpiao used a tank to smash into a suspected cockfight, and flattened most of the birds in the process. More army surplus equipment?

And for every surplus tank the army sells, congress gives them two new ones.

This is like the ATF's "Operation Fast and Furious," except its neither fast nor furious. Its "Operation Slow and Silly."

They're really low to the ground, bouncing Betty mines usually miss them. You gotta just run them over with an APC.

The worst news is that there really isn't any law officers like Deputy Fife or Sheriff Roscoe any more. Whether former military or not most have been trained to use highly lethal weaponry and are naturally suspicious of anyone they have to deal with. Even in a village with a single officer he/she is equipped with sidearm, taser, pepper spray, shotgun, and a rifle in the trunk. And the aforementioned items (except long guns) are on their belt as well as a light, handcuffs, plastic gloves, extra clips--heavy as hell. As long as you're white, dressed nicely, without unusual hair, tattoos, piercings, etc. and are polite, move slowly, and act afraid you probably don't have anything to worry about.
