TM 258: What words would you like to see added to/removed from common use?
“It was amazing -” Tony Profaci began, but before he could finish, Mike cut him off.
“What the hell does that even mean?”
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me,” Mike kicked back his scotch. “Ahhh-MAAHHH-zing - so you were amazed? You were stunned? You couldn’t move? Jesus, I’m sick of that word.”

TM 255 : BOO! How would you go about scaring someone?
I'm great at scaring people. That's my assigned role - I'm the looming wall of doom that gets in your face when you've done the wrong thing. I can't be reasoned with, I can't be escaped, and I'm just not going to go away. I'm the end of the line ( Read more... ) -
What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done while sober?
Let’s get the standard things out of the way. I’ve tripped going down the subway stairs, going up the subway stairs, split my pants, dropped a hotdog on my tie, spit when I’ve talked, and of course, gotten shot down for using a bad come-on-line. There’ve been farts, sneezes, and I’ve shot every drink known to man out of my nose at one time or ( Read more... ) -
TM #248 - Would you make a good spy?
Look, I don't like feds, spooks or any other type of operative. That cloak and dagger business seems to attract the worst type of dickhead - even worse than the IAB, I swear ( Read more... ) -
#244 "That's something I think is growing on me as I get older: happy endings." -- Alice Munro

TM #243 - If you could be in the Olympics ....
Okay, so I've answered this question before - after all, it's one of the top ten barguments of all time. When I've got a beer in my hand, the answer's simple; the single luge. Seriously, it's just sledding! Yes, it's weird sledding, but the bobsled has too many guys crammed into a small space for me ( Read more... ) -
You Say It's Your Birthday (TM Prompt 237)
I hate my birthday. I know that's not original, but that's how it is. I usually go out, have a few drinks, have a few more, then...well, you see how that goes ( Read more... ) -
TM Prompt 235: Show Us Where You Live
I moved to Manhattan when I was seventeen. Back then - nevermind what year it was, okay? - the Village wasn’t nice, safe clean and all full of chain stores. The building I ended up in was full of junkies, a fair amount of what we called “sexual deviants” when we were feeling charitable, struggling artistes, a range of kids trying to choose between ( Read more... ) -
Have You Ever or Are You Now? (RP with Detective_Bear)
Mike leaned next to the snack machines, staring off into the Major Case squad room as he drank his morning coffee. Funny how even Major Case NYPD coffee tastes like crap, he thought.
