Seriously Crusty, I can't believe you don't see that the Prenda crew are lifted straight out of Simpsons episodes.

Now I'm thinking more Fat Tony:

Well? Does the government have a cyborg army? I already know they have a talking bear.
I'm sure the answer would involve things like, not technically an army, not actually cyborgs, it depends on the definition of have....but if you ask again the Psybourg Battalion will laser fry all your metadata. And by metadata they mean children.
"So Steele went randomly driving around Miami at 6 am and magically found Lutz's friends, but not Lutz?"
See I picture Steele, in the best noir tradition, cruising strip clubs and dive bars all across Miami, running into friends and known associates of Lutz, always just missing him, the clock running out, emptiness and despair coming down like the hammer on a .45 and no amount of cocaine and whiskey will make things right.
The Estate is just worried that anyone doing further work on the Holmes character will discover the shocking truth about the events that led to Sherlock's extensive drug abuse and Mycroft's involvement in arms dealing and human trafficking.
We need someone from Jurisfiction to look into this. Thursday Next would be a good choice.
I would have never thought that I would see a legal drama as convoluted and as full of flimflammery as the SCO case, but these jokers are giving it a good try.
Plus, now it seems like we're entering the Reservoir Dogs phase of the drama.

Malingering, Malfeasance, Sabotage and Delay
Seriously though, does Ellora's Cave want malingering, malfeasance, sabotage and delay to be the search string that get the Streisand Effect?
Can you imagine Ellora's Cave malingering, malfeasance, sabotage and delay being the first return?
Especially if authors want to make money writing for Ellora's Cave and malingering, malfeasance, sabotage and delay are what they learn!
