Do you think columbo ever visits someone's house and goes gee what a place and they feel a frisson of reflexive fear

But the only reason to feel that way would be if they did something bad, right?

nobody is without sin

and columbo can see your sins

That's his stand

Is it called "Before I Go"?

Shit that's good

Also what if he said "do you mind if I do such and such" and they said no

If I was a murderer facing down columbo and I would never because I don't make six figures

I would stop trying to think of myself as clever like all of these bozos

Assume Columbo has your shit figured out from the start. Devise explanations for each and every piece of evidence in a way that is both non-contradictory and doesn't pin you as the killer

Do not dispose of anything, that's a rookie mistake that gets your mitts all over the evidence

instead, just ragdoll in place like you've just discovered the scene and have gone into shock, whilest in reality you're taking in everything you see to construct your story

Doge-lover Joja : Honestly, if it was Columbo Columbo, I think I'd just confess.

At least I'd get some screen time to explain my sympathetic backstory, if I had one.

Also maybe he'd let me pet the dog, if the dog is in this episode.

there's a dog?

I could swear to God I've seen gifsets where he has a dog.

My strat I think is to copy from the best

"Gee that IS funny. I certainly can't explain it!"
