Favourite Heist moment?

Nisha belting Emile with his laptop has to be a serious contender, but my own personal favourite was Jason at the NYC heist, trying to maintain some decorum as a TV presenter while looking for the evasive SD card: "I'm here inside the Audi A3... I don't know where the damn ****ing thing is!!"

Sheer comedy genius. Sir, I salute you Smile

Seriously, Jason, you were so funny.

And the way the clips all went together was just so, so fun.

Taking a freaky boat ride with Gunter was lots of fun, because GUNTER RULES.

Mine's easy. My favorite moment was when we were sitting at the table with Nisha at the Chicago meet and we saw a boat slowly pull up.... with zombie mimes.... and Fur Elise..... and Gunter saying Niiiissshhhhhaaaa. Oh and a close second goes to poor Lou in the port a potty.

Mine is centered around the Chicago op (obviously). But it's close between talking to Dia on the phone to keep my sanity, walking out of the port-o-potty at the exact moment that Nisha and the Retrievers returned from their boat trip, and reading the #heist logs from the time while the op was going on.

Even though I screwed up, y'all made me feel so good with all the jokes and virtual pats on the back.

Thanks again.

Okay, I'll do another one...

The party is already started and Heather shows me, Trent, Rodger, Gunter and Gunter's friend up to the room where we wait until we can join everybody at the party.

I walk in and greet Ian/Joe and turn to finally come face to face with Nicole/Nisha... Not only does she recognise me right away, but she's really excited to meet me. And she was really hyped to go down and meet everybody else down there.

All the guys were watching some odd sitcom staring Lisa Cudrow, so she and I sat by the window peeking through the curtain we weren't supposed to open or peek through. Smile And she asked me if I'd seen any of the day's developments.

What you guys may or may not have realised was that I was logged in as "Lurk" to the IRC channel so I could keep up with what was going on the net. (As I was away from the computer since like six o'clock. And I caught something about Nisha and Emile and laptop inflicted damage. (I was pretty sure I could lurk as long as I didn't do it as myself and didn't say anything.)

So I told her that was all I knew. I asked her to tell me and not worry about ruining watching the video later for me. And she said something like this...

Quote:

So it looks like a security camera at Tatum Think only we're wired for sound so you can hear what we say. And I confront Emile and I strangle him with my belt... This belt! And he admits that he's Archlight and then he says something flip and goes back to typing. So I slam down the laptop on his hands and he's all "Ahhhhhh!" Then I pick it up and he says "That's my laptop!" and I say "I know." and then I smash it on his head! And I throw it down and I say, "And that's for HitsHerMark." and then I leave to come here.


To be honest, that description was better then the actual movie to me.

We're sitting in #heist, frustrated with the Evil Cube. Got a bunch of words that don't do anything except lead to some protected directories..

Everyone's tense.. I say let's brute force the damn thing.. others are going on with discussions, trying to find a pattern, trying to find where the words came from and why they are special.. looking for a pattern..

So I plug them into an excel sheet and decide to try them one by one.. yeah I know there are 1800 possibilities for each directory, by I'm furstrated so I start anyway..

For /conspiratoria combination #1 is u:cipher p:imposter

..And it WORKS!

I almost fall over my chair.. wait let's try the next one..

For /emile combination #1 is u:digitaria p:downfall

And they kept coming.. did the ones on the left and right then found different patterns then tried different locations.. it was beautiful.. all while posting in chat and getting everyone excited.. it was like throwing a stone at a beehive.

I don't remember who said "Did we just witness an ARGasm?"

One of my favorite was sitting at breakfast the day after Coachella and saying "Let's kill off Myke" .......and watching the eyes light up around the table.

It's difficult to chose one, but Ian's bed somersault and Scapegoat's Virgil valentine are high on the list.

One of my favorite moments was when I confroted LouMac at the dock in Chicago. I was VERY tough on the poor guy and the look of surprise and trepidation in his eyes as I confronted him was priceless.

I must have been really convincing because he resorted to hiding in a port-o-potty, did he not?


Funny. Laughing

a/k/a Nisha...you scared me. I didnt want to disappoint you and I was so upset in not going in, getting the card, and leaving. And then my potty mouth went into full effect. Smile

But you were great to interact with.

I think LouMac's account of his second conversation with Nisha after being discovered coming out of the port-o-potty is very funny. But for some reason my favorite moment right now is HHM's mini movie of Gunter saying "These lamb chops are to DIE for". It's just so over the top.
