The wonderful Chrys Fey came up with this fun idea and I couldn't resist signing up to join in. Check out that awesome sounding book down below--doesn't that sound great? Anyhow, she suggests we get in touch with our bad side ;) So, if in some other universe I'm a mobster (which, okay, part of me loves and part of me laughs hysterically at), this would be my MO:
- My Mobster Name: The Professor (uh, yeah, real shocker there...)
- My Rank: I'd so be a leader. I'll admit to being naturally bossy :)
- Crime Zone: the Central Valley of California. This is something you're born into, right? So it would have to be home, I think.
- My Look/Disguise: I've always loved the idea of hiding in plain sight, so I'd probably just wear my normal funky outfits. And maybe a monocle, because, why not?
- Weapon of Choice: A book, used flying-pan style.
- Mobster Vehicle: my penchant for fast, sleek sports cars would get me in trouble. The Audi R8 would probably fit the bill nicely (because as a mobster, I doubt I'd have unlimited funds to get a Bugatti or something).
- What I’m Known For: calling people out on their stupidity. Too many years of teaching and having to keep your mouth shut and not offend anything take their toll.
- My Catch Phrase: "Think first, act second." Because, hehe, see above :)
Okay, so that was a little too much fun. What about you? What would your mobster name be?
30 SECONDS BEFORE BLURB:
Blake Herro is a cop in the Cleveland Police Force. Ever since he was a child he wanted to do right by the city he loved by cleaning up the streets and protecting its citizens. Red, a notorious mobster, has other plans.
On a bitter December night, ten police officers are drawn into a trap and killed by Red’s followers. Blake wants to bring down the Mob to avenge his fallen brothers and to prevent other cops from being murdered. Except the only way he can do that is by infiltrating the Mob.
Every minute he’s with these mobsters he’s in danger. Around every corner lies the threat of coming face to face with a gun. Will he make it out of the Mob alive or will he be their next victim?

Very fun! I'm sure you'd enjoy letting loose when calling out stupid people, and the monocle would definitely make a stylish addition.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with being bossy. ;) I love that your weapon is a book. The Professor and Disaster Chrys would get along well.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for participating in my Mobfest!
The Professor with a monocle--I like it. Of course I would being a former prof myself. Those textbooks can pack a wallop and don't get me started on paper cuts!
ReplyDeleteHmm.. the prof with a monocle reminds me of that character in the game of Clue. Very smart. I applaud you being the boss. I mean if you're gonna order a hit on somebody, you wouldn't have to do it. Just call in one of the gang members and you can go have some tea and cake. Love this blog hop! So many creative folks here.
ReplyDeleteThat monocle is a perfect touch. Just a bit quirky, but in keeping with being a professorial type.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Chrys! And what a fun theme!
ReplyDeleteNice Professor. Enjoyed the profile and your taste in cars.

Fun answers! Congratulations to Chrys!
ReplyDeleteI had fun dreaming up a make believe mobster me too :) I'm shocked mobsters don't have unlimited funds. Political candidates do. . . .
ReplyDeleteWe might as well go with what we know and if we are going to be mobsters why not be the leaders, right. Nothing wrong with being bossy ... don't think a mobster would get very far in their career if they lacked that quality. Great profile, professor. Congrats to Chrys on her new book and I've had fun with this blogfest.
ReplyDeleteWe need a professor mobster who calls people out on their stupidity right now!
ReplyDeleteChrys is everywhere this week! I am so glad to see her here! How awesome! Wishing her all the best. :)

My choice of mobster accouterments would include 2017 Towncar, protected by a fine piece of popular hardware.
ReplyDeleteToo funny :)
ReplyDeleteNice touch with the monocle!!
ReplyDeleteGood job!

Beware the professor. =) I think the monocle would definitely make a nice touch.
