Los Angeles Espionage Help Requested

[Howard Rush]

I'm asking for your help in some undercover work.  Several stunt contests are held in southern California every year, but the outcomes are often closely guarded.  You would sneak in after events finish and surreptitiously photograph scoreboards and ask questions sufficient to determine who contestants are and to get all the stunt scores.  This could take some doing, because sometimes the scoreboards have only first names or code names for contestants.  Why do I want these results?  I sell them to Stunt News, and I make a lot of money doing it.   Your reward is knowing that you have brought openness to stunt and blown the lid off this secrecy.

Just call me the Julian Assange of Stunt (without the Swedish girls)

What happens in SoCal stays in SoCal, apparently.

You telling me California is still attached to the main land???

Perhaps why LA CDs don't send me contest results is that they think, with good cause, that I'm an idiot.  I recently received some results for the 2014 Knights Joust in an email note titled, "Knights Joust Contest".  It contained scoreboard pictures.  Large letters atop the scoreboards said, "...Dale Kirn's 2014 Memorial Joust".  I wrote back asking what contest the results were for.  Last year I asked a CD on which day of a one-day contest each stunt event would be run.

Gee Howard,
That doesn't sound like something an idiot would do...It sounds like something an engineer would do!
I know I do that kind of stuff all the time, and I'm an engineer, not an idiot...at least I don't think I am!!!  Then again???

If it's any comfort, Howard, the one-word description of you that comes to mind is certainly not "idiot".
