The important thing is to be sure you can pick just the right time to break in (without leaving any visible traces and without anyone seeing) and then lie in wait for that person to return, safe in the knowledge - thanks to your observations - that they will be alone.
Once on the premises, go to your hiding place: this will be somewhere you can easily get out of once the person has come back home and fallen asleep. You will know just the place: the plans obtained from the local council will have been a great help in this.
Once the person is asleep, prepare your chloroform, and then pounce. Once the person is out cold, retrieve your plyers and scalpel from your pockets. Grip the tongue firmly with the plyers, and cut out the persons tongue. This may need several attempts.

This person will never spoil a plot in your presence again.

There's a worrying amount of detail in that post, CDA.

"When you do a report for school you get sidetracked reading the encyclopedia.

When caught without a book you read the ingrediants list on your twinkie.

You know that if you work it right you can fit an average size paperback novel in your pants pocket.

You have maxed out your library card."

hahah those DEFINATLY apply to me. especally the encyclopedia and the pants one.. 10th grade i figured out how to fit my english books in my back pocket and in the side pocket in my leather jacket

Reminds me of the legend of Johnny Appleseed and how his Bible stopped a bullet that would have killed him..In your case, your books did double duty..cheap kevlar

Haha, I do that. I think most book-lovers do...

We're probably the only people on earth who actually read the instructions on anything!

Oh, oh I see. Well, of course, I'd never actually do anything like that. Not any more.
