Xanthous, yegg, and zealous

I once knew a guy who robbed ATMs for a living. You'd think it would be more difficult to make a living that way -- you'd think he might get caught. But you'd be surprised how little the cops care about $60 here and there.

Whenever we met up after a job, he'd be giddy, high off his power and his invincibility. He'd order me large chili cheese fries and we'd chat about the neighborhood, who was doing what, who was doing who.
