Masks and facial expressions aren’t incompatible. Sometimes this is unfortunate.

You’d probably do something silly like make lots of copies of him. And that would be awful.

The one I thought of was in the Bond movie You Only Live Twice (1968) where Blofeld gives his subordinate and his subordinate a talking to for letting Bond get away, then dumps the sub-subordinate in the piranha pool.
What’s worse is that for completely inexplicable reasons at the climax of the movie, he has a gun drawn on Bond and uses it to shoot the above-mentioned subordinate instead. “Observe the price of failure, Mr Bond!” Dude, James doesn’t even work for you, so what was the point?

An old trope they used to use often in the seventies…using a glass cutter and suction cup to quietly enter through a window.
Generally, the glass needs to be tapped/snapped/broken from the opposite side of the pane, to make the fracture complete, which renders the idea useless.
I worked a while in a window repair shop, and it’s surprising when cutting glass how much give there is in bending before the glass actually snaps.
I figure the whole “unbreakable glass” trope replaced this one as architecture began to adapt to large glass-encased boxes.

I’m not sure the Atlanta metro area counts as the deep South, but I may be attaching cultural rather than strictly geographic meaning to that term. And yes, we actually do have winter for about 2 weeks in January. Brrrr!

To be fair, it’s filmed in Senoia (which is far enough away to not be the metro area) and hasn’t been in the ATL for a while now (the last was the hospital stuff, which was set at Grady). So you could say deep south… We certainly have our own mish-mashed culture here.
Double brrr…!
You’re right – that’s not the metro Atlanta area. I guess I just think of anything south of Atlanta being the deep South. I lived in north Georgia during my childhood, and again, it’s not strictly geographic for me. I certainly consider all of Alabama and Mississippi as “deep South” but not north Georgia.

Agreed! North GA, very different from the rest of the place!

Wouldn’t logic suggest that for a choice of options of equal utility you would utilise a random number generator as there is no utility in choosing neither option. I.E. flip a coin.

Groening, I think.
