Your pictures don't show your ponytail...
ReplyDeleteQ
But what I see Abbie doing every week is true, right?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you just need to drink more caf-pow:-)
ReplyDeleteGeez...I kinda, sorta, idolized Abbie...
ReplyDeleteBrighid - I'm a huge NCIS fan (the old one not the "new" one which is just annoying).
ReplyDeleteAbbie rocks, but I am going to pick apart the science quietly (as I sip on my large slushee)
Real life work never seems to be finished as quickly as work on TV programs.
ReplyDeleteWatch out for that slushee brain freeze! No doubt the slushee will be long gone before you're done picking apart the science, ballistics misinformation, lousy procedures, etc.
Wait are you telling me all crimes aren't solved an hour after they're committed?
ReplyDeleteLatters. I'm off to start my crime-spree.

Josh - be careful out there :-)
ReplyDeleteIn a previous job I built a case and testified against this fellow (BAD dog, no biscuit!). Complicated case involving multiple three latter agencies. As we were leaving the chamber, in front of our attorney, he said "When I get out, I'm coming for you and I'm going to (rape you)".
Being the shy, delicate flower that I am, I responded "Great, bring someone with a dick".
Probably NOT the thing to say and the attorney about swallowed his tongue trying not to laugh.
When he got out, I had folks watching me for a few days, but he's not tried it.
Somehow, Ms Brigid, I would expect that if he did, he would end up with multiple GSWs, and perhaps some blunt force trauma and deep punctures as well.
ReplyDeleteIf more women had your armory, fewer would have problems.
LMAO
ReplyDelete:-)
Ah hell B. Burning stuff and looking at the IR scans is iffy at best!
ReplyDeleteHeh....XKCD rocks!
ReplyDeleteBest comeback ever!
ReplyDeleteSomething else to throw into the crime scene stew.

Adhesives help tracers improve shooters’ aim
"Unlike conventional tracer rounds, which are almost exclusively used by the military, Glow Ammo is a cold tracer. There is no potentially dangerous fire or flame.
It consists of a small “dot” of chemicals applied to the back of a bullet by reloaders, i.e., shooters who, in essence, construct their own bullets. When the bullet is fired, the chemicals capture energy from the expanding gases and convert it into light, according to the company."

Murphy's Law still governs: "Tracers work both ways"
Ha! that made me laugh. It was one of the better parts of my day.
ReplyDeleteWhy all the Abbie references? I've always pictured Brigid as more of a Ziva type--a combination of brains and super tacticool skilz.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wanna hear about the little hovercraft!
75% of the computer forensics course I took last spring was understanding the laws regarding admissibility of such evidence.
ReplyDeleteNCIS never shows McGee and Abby hunched over the DoJ Search and Seizure manual trying to determine if they need another warrant to open a file that may prove an embezzler is a murderer. OTOH, it is much more entertaining than ssmanual.pdf.
