Good advice from the Young Supervillains Club of America (YSCA).

Remember, hubris is the Supervillain's best frenemy. Keep it close to your chest, like your cards, not close to your location, like your escape pod. There'll be plenty of time to frame and hang your first FBI wanted poster when you are old and rich and too big to fail, young Senator to be.

After looking at the article, I must say--that is one Hell of a great frame to frame your wanted poster.

Or your grand-children.

There's a whole article waiting to be written about that frame. Did Jordan Sim-mutch find it in the house he was hiding out in? Did he buy it? Did he steal it from his grandmother? Who is Sim-mutch? Is this frame typical of the taste of the type of criminal who frames his wanted poster? Is it Italian, Eastern European or South Asian? Are those real pearls?

To Hell with the FBI or Interpol's most wanted list. I want that frame.

I hope they let him keep it.

It'll make it a lot easier to steal when I want to frame my own Public Enemy Number One poster some day. I'll know who has it and where to begin looking for him.

I looked into the ethnicity of the name Sim-Mutch. Sounds South East Asian, but in fact it is a double-barreled Scottish name, or Korean, or Indonesian.

The Sim family (surname also spelled with an "s", Sims) you probably have run across at some time or other, I know I have. The Mutch family seems to originate in Aberdeen.

Don't bother looking for a Mutch family tartan. Apparently they don't have one.

Although they are not a well-known Scottish clan, the Mutches have made their mark in history. No lesser an authority and expert in demonology than King James (VI of England) interviewed Marjory Mutch on the question of witchcraft:

In the dittay against Marjory Mutch, it was alleged that, having an ill-will against William Smith in Tarserhill, she came to his plough and bewitched the oxen, so that 'they instantly ran all wood [mad], brak the pleuch, twa thereof ran over the hills to Deer, and other twa thereof up Ithan side, whilk could never be tane nor apprehendit again.' This woman was said to have destroyed much cattle, laid sickness on many persons, and attended all the witch conventions of the district. In token of her being a witch, there was a spot under her left ear, into which a gentleman had thrust a pin without producing any pain.

In the event that the fellow is not Scottish, he might be Korean or Indonesian.

Have you ever noticed how many Asian names sound British? Take the Lees--please!

I've also run across strangely North American native names, such as Tree. One of the most famous Canadian "Natives", Grey Owl, was an Englishman named Archibald something or other. Mad Englishmen go native all over the place, not to mention going out in the noon-day sun. There may be a connection between the two habits.

Even though the photo of Mr. Jordan Sim-Mutch is blurred-out, he looks like he could be Korean or Indonesian as much as Scottish. Hard to say which, though, so I have covered the contingencies.

My mistake: Sim-mutch was just a friend of the fugitive in the photo. The fugitive in the photo is not named.

It was thus doubly stupid for the photo to be placed over the fireplace because either the subject or the guy harbouring him could have thought, "Wait a tick, it might not be a good idea to have a photo over the mantle of a guy the police are looking for. Sort of ruins the deniability should the police make inquiries."

Aw, cops always exaggerate
