This brings me to the question of how good Dean would actually be in a life of crime. Because, sharking aside, he kind of sucks at conning people, generally speaking. I mean, no one ever buys his cover stories. Which is incredibly adorable, but not terribly sneaky. Hee.
Sam, on the other hand... the puppy dog eyes would fool everyone.
I think Dean would suck at the long con. Or any kind of con that had to last more than ten minutes, really. He'd be good for sharking and for b&e and as a wheelman, but he doesn't have the ...patience to really run a con. Or the acting skill.
Someone in my comments once said that Dean is a situational liar, and he gets by on what both he and his mark know is BS, but he's charming enough to make it work over a short period of time.
Sam, otoh... Sam inhabits whatever role he's playing, he makes the lie his life, and well, he's already run the long con, though I don't think he'd see it that way, on Jess and all his friends at Stanford.
Dean could totally be the wheelman. He would be perfect at that.
The Malloys could be unavailable, and Rusty would be like, "Well, I know this guy and his brother is..."
And Danny would sigh long-sufferingly, and Dean and Sam would show up in the Impala, which would impress him, and then Linus would be upset that Sam is the new prodigy and everyone would be like, "but this means you're not the Fucking New Guy anymore Linus" and you'd think that would make him happy, but it doesn't, 'cause he's used to being the youngest and the bestest and now someone else is stealing his thunder...
Heh. Rusty and Sam totally need to meet, because Sam is the only guy in the universe whose shirts are uglier than Rusty's. And I love the idea of them hustling poker together. Soooo hot!
Hee! I have to say, I think I'd pick Sam's shirts over Rusty's. But I think Rusty would appreciate the Impala.
And god help me, it's a good thing I don't write RPF, because I just had the thought of Jared getting into Rusty's candy stash - or vice versa - and the havoc that could ensue...
I know the timelines are wonky, 'cause Sam wouldn't have been at Stanford that early, but man, I kinda want him to look Rusty up a few years later, and he and Dean and Rusty and Danny can team up to do crime and fight monsters.
That would rock!
Danny - So I've heard about a nice shipment of jewels coming in...
rusty - uh huh.
Danny - We should do the job.
Rusty - what's the catch?
danny - what?
Rusty - there is always a catch with you lately.
Danny - so the cargo boat might have a poltergeist
oh no. I'm going to have to write this now? Dammit. I need to stay in my corner quietly - hee. Why must you put an evil plot bunny in my head? Oh drats. ::wonders if she can work this into her Dean Winchester Crossover 'o Doom project::

OK, seriously, I'm not much for crossovers, but someone needs to write that fic.

Yes. Just, yes. There are not words for how completely cool that would be. *nods emphatically* Now, who's going to write it?

Rusty - I know some guys.
Danny - You know some guys?
Rusty (shrugs) - I know some guys.

You should totally write it!
And also, looking at your icon, you should write the "Everything Dean knows about women he learned from Sex and the City" story, as well. *G*
