How to be as cool as Horatio Caine

In case all the self help books and pick up artist seminars aren’t enough to up your game, here’s an excellent guide to Act Like Horatio Caine. Some of the steps involved:

  • Get yourself a pair of cool sunglasses.
  • Have someone call you by the first letter in your name. This is an essential in becoming Horatio.
  • Rarely smile or laugh.
  • You’ll want to stand with your hands on your hips a lot of the time while you stare off into the distance.
  • Kneel a lot when you talk to people who need your help.

I just have one question: who writes this stuff and to what purpose? I guess I am even worse, as I even bother to read it and post about it. But what do I know? I am hopeless after all.


For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
