Thirteen-word summary of /XXX: State of the Union/

"Bring me my prune whip yogurt. It's the one that says 'bad motherfucker'."

There's a character--not in the movie, in a series of books--called Harold W. Smith. Heads incredibly secret agency which has at its disposal unbelievable skilled killing machine (person), will undertake covert operations to preserve the integrity of the nation, apparently unflappable in all situations, yadda yadda yadda... Anyway. He eats prune-whip yogurt. With lemon topping. Voluntarily.

Nice man, in that despotic Patrician[1] sort of way.

Samuel L. Jackson is so playing him, except they added a lot more guns.

I expect a lot of the people who read your journal will get the capitalization.

I am guessing at least one is unlikely to, but yeah. :)

Smith is actually shockingly cool, as I am rediscovering with the new acquisition of Destroyer[1] books. Less touching on what his outlook means, but still very much a mind of icicles and blued steel. SOmewhat more faillable, but it's hard to not be more faillable that Havelock Vetinari.

[1] I'm sure I'm losing some kind of points, somewhere, for collecting and reading a series called the Destroyer. /le shrug/

I can only assume you mean "fallible".
