Reminds me of the G. Gordon Liddy/Timothy Leary joint appearances several years ago. Never use the word "joint" in a describing the Liddy/Leary lectures. G. Gordon is likely to assume you're trying to score a two-pointer by linking him to Leary's drug use, and to the "joint" where Gordon spent some of his unhappiest years. I wouldn't want Mr. Liddy mad at me.

Nah, completely unintentional 'joint' pun, but the incongruity of the two men sharing a lecture platform still strikes me as a highpoint of cultural surreality. Insofar as provoking a former CREEP operative, I remain unconcerned. Liddy couldn't pull off a fairly straightforward hotel burglary. I doubt very much his 'Master of Black Ops' persona plays outside of the occasional Soldier of Fortune convention. Besides, I've known a few genuinely dangerous men, and he doesn't strike me as one of them.
