The Anything Thread

[blackfoot]

Well, last night was the Captain's last night. He is now on vacation. Ironically, Lt. is going on vacation this weekend. That means the shift is mine for over a week. Plus, one officer transferred and has not been replaced. Therefore, I am in charge with only half a crew. :thumbdown Unlike the rest of management, I have been proactive and have Emails out looking for officers to fill the open slots. I am already having fun and I wasn't even in charge yet. :thumbup:

I have a few things to get done before bedtime.

There was a man brought in tonight that was convicted of murder that day. Therefore, he had not been transferred over to DOC custody yet. A county officer was accompanying the man. He was placed in room and the officer went in and sat in the chair. We got called up by concerned nurses. This officer was sleeping in there. We ended up standing by the rest of the morning since the officer was not doing his job. Had it been a matter of a criminal getting away, I wouldn't care. He should be doing his job. However, a convicted murderer is a different story. I walked up and notice two things straight off. 1) Patient only has leg shackles on. 2) Sleeping officer sitting with chair almost against the left side of the bed. 3) Officer is right-handed. For those of you playing along at home, you may notice this puts the sleeping officer's sidearm a foot from the patient's left hand. We demanded the officer at least handcuff one arm and stood by. A short time later, the officer was asleep again. The patient even commented to the nurse that he couldn't sleep because of the officer's snoring! I never got up the nerve to ask, but I am guessing he was a reserve officer.

You're telling me. Of course, this is always when the nurses remember we are unarmed. "What are you going to be able to do?" That remains to be seen.

:lol: I do. I've had the opportunity to work along side their military and while it may be a great deal smaller than ours and a great deal underfunded that doesn't detract at all from the high caliber of Canada's brave defenders.

Do you guys report instances like that? I mean, that dude should be unemployed right now!

Heck, Blake was on when I went to bed, and he's still on and I just woke up.

Blake you need a life brother.

I suggested to the nursing staff, but I am not going over my Captain's head on that. There is a professional courtesy. We may not be cops, but cops show us the same courtesy and we try to reciprocate. However, IMHO, this was beyond that. He should be reported. I don't know what the Captain did and I didn't get a chance to ask.

I am leaving now, BTW.

It just didn't make sense for him to say

"Unfortunately, Blake, the box is in Punta Arenas, Chile"


True. And in any case, that's where the clutch cable really is.

:laugh:

Is it still a wild goose chase if a penguin sends you on it?


I just said that's where the name came from not that I'd do it. If I were deer hunting with a shotgun it would be with slugs and a quality scope. I suspect this is what Blake was/is up to as well.

Ah, gotcha. :blushing:

Be sure to ask your Captain. I totally understand/appreciate your not wanting to skip the chain of command, but this is one of those things that is so egregious that some kind of followup needs to happen!

Oh Blake...

...today is our 20,000 post day! Are you in for this milestone? This could be the third time we've reached another K in the same day!

Matt, are you ready for another combined K celebration thread? Right now there are only three of us in the 20K range and Blake could be number four soon.

Goodnight gents, talk to you all later.

Take care of the B&B and each other! :thumbup1:

I got to ride to work last night. :thumbup: It was 40 degrees this morning, so it was a little cold. It is nice out today!

And Rob, you wouldn't have beat me if I had been home. :letterk2: We had an important religious event to attend last night. Therefore, you truly can thank God for helping you beat me. :lol:

Insane isn't it? I honestly only log 60-90 minutes per day on B&B and that includes 'moderator' time when I'm doing other more official things. As I hit 20K I was thinking about the value of those posts. I realized that I do occasionally participate in the photo number tag, photo number tag transportation threads and I'm a regular in about 5 others here in the CH but if only 5-6 posts a day are coming by way of the nut house I'm actually doing a pretty good job of keeping my focus on the board. That made me very happy! :thumbup1:

I am going to have to stop riding with dad. The last time I rode with him, the clutch cable broke. Today, my chain came off. I was mid-way through a tight curve when I heard/felt a clunk. I thought I drug a peg. No such luck. Fortunately, I keep some tools on-board and we were able to fix it. However, it nearly ran me late tonight. I am getting a new chain tomorrow.

Gentleman,

As you all know the Clown House has been a source of great fun, shenanigans and silly games that simply do not fit anywhere else on the forum. Unfortunately the Clown House has also been the source of far too many reported posts and requires much heavier moderation than should be expected on a gentlemen's forum.
Today we (the Mod team) along with the blessing of the site ownership have voted to retire the Clown House permanently. While it has had its upside and to many has served as a home within their B&B home it is simply too taxing, too difficult and too time consuming to properly moderate.
We ask that everyone respect/support this decision and know that we have not made this decision lightly. It was only after much debate and deliberation that we reached the conclusion that the Clown House simply had to go. Please continue posting throughout the B&B and we ask that you focus on meaningful posts that contribute to the overall greatness that is the B&B.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Rob
On Behalf of the Moderator Team and Site Ownership

Translation: Rob is worried about blackfoot beating his post count and has reacted in the only definitive way he can to ensure victory. (j/k, buddy)

Well, sad to see it go, but I can understand why.

Can we at least have some of the threads back even if they are locked, such as "linux mint"? There's a lot of good technical info in there that we'd hate to loose. Or, if not in the main boards, can it be merged into the "Shaved Penguins" social group?

Mint is occasionally silly (though, I would argue, far less so at present than in the past), but given that we see computer-relevant threads from time to time, might it make sense to add a "Digital" subforum to the Barber Shop?

Also, Rob's post count didn't change. :wink:

Perhaps this is a good day for folks who formerly frequented the Clown House to welcome newbies, answer questions, and edit the wiki...

As far as post count was decided we were able to preserve everyone's count. We didn't want to take away anything you already worked for.

Alas, the CH is no more. Your counts are safe and now you'll just have to spend a little more time on the meaningful areas of B&B if this board and/or your post count is important to you.

Also a good day to consider contributing financially to the board: all that content isn't cost-less to move through the Intertubes. I'm due to re-up my annual membership pretty soon, and I'll be doing so.

Clown Housers, who probably use more of the board's resources than most, should especially consider contributing. (bonus: makes you look more respectable).

I like the way you think! :thumbup: Everyday is a great day to get out, participate in the crucial areas of the board, welcome a newbie, answer questions and help out your wet shave brethren. :thumbup::thumbup:

Mint is occasionally silly (though, I would argue, far less so at present than in the past), but given that we see computer-relevant threads from time to time, might it make sense to add a "Digital" subforum to the Barber Shop?

Good idea. Let's subdivide the forums even more! :thumbup1:


It's now like one of those public broadcasting drives... ya know ... the ones where you get a "freebie" for donating at certain levels? You now get free Clown House access if you donate over $999.99 to B&B.

:eek:

I can't afford that. Quit giving them ideas! :glare:


While $999.99 might be a bit excessive, that is a good thought.

No one asked you. :mad3:


Hush you. :glare: :wink:

You're one to complain... :001_rolle


As far as post count was decided we were able to preserve everyone's count. We didn't want to take away anything you already worked for.

Good idea. Let's subdivide the forums even more! :thumbup1:

I realize it's not a perfect solution, and it does tend to create cliques of people (much like the Clown House), but as all public fora are available to all members, it's a good way to help people find what they are looking for.

[Mr. Scruffy]

Someone stole all my credit cards, but I won't be reporting it. The thief spends less than my wife did.

I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.

I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary?" She said, "Somewhere I have never been!" I told her, "How about the kitchen?"

We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

My wife has a black belt in shopping.

My wife will buy anything marked down. Last year she bought an escalator.

All my wife does is shop - once she was sick for a week, and three stores went under.

She has an electric blender, electric toaster, electric bread maker. Then she said, "There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down! So what did I do? Bought her an electric chair.

My wife loves to shop at Bloomingdale's. I bring her mail there twice a week.

My wife and I went back to the hotel where we spent our wedding night. Only this time, I stayed in the bathroom and cried.

My wife drives the wrong way on a one way street. The cop pulled her over and asked, "Where are you going?" My wife said, "I must be late, everyone is all coming back!"

My wife told me the car wasn't running well, there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was, and she told me it was in the lake.

My wife and I went to a hotel where we got a waterbed. My wife called it the Dead Sea.

My wife is on a new diet. Coconuts and bananas. She hasn't lost weight, but can she climb a tree!

She was at the beauty shop for two hours. That was only for the estimate.

She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.

She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late for the garbage?" "No, jump in!"

I bought my wife a little Italian car. A Mafia. It has a hood under the hood.

Three weeks ago, she learned how to drive. Last week she learned how to aim it.

I came home, the car was in the dining room. "How did you get the car in here?" "Easy, I took a left at the kitchen."

I feel like I've just lost a lot of good friends, sure I can just PM them, but I can't just have a conversation with them all at once now.

Most of what was said in the CH was in fact junk, but most of what if fun/funny is.

I thought it was gone for good, so I sold all my worldly possessions, quit my job, became a monk in an obscure end times cult and self trepinated.I think you may be on the cutting edge (pun intended) with that self-trepination. There are probably people just like us on the other side of the Intergroove building a forum where they can discuss whether vintage, hand-cranked drills perform better than modern power tools, what type of pre-drill prep will get them the best results, debates on drilling one big hole versus a lot of little ones, whether to use gauze, cotton balls, band-aids, or cauterization as the ultimate post-surgical means to stop the bleeding, and of course, a flood of newbies being recruited with the enticing idea of "Once you try it, there's no going back."

Okay, I officially took over the shift this morning. It feels great and I haven't done anything. :w00t:

I had to go to a management meeting this morning. The only other officer from my shift was my Lt. and he was officially on vacation as soon as the meeting was over. So, I was taking meeting minutes, since no one else does, so that I could pass things along to the Captain and the my officers. It hit me that after each meeting, if I wasn't there and ask what happened, I get the "nothing much." They pointed out we had next to nothing to discuss today and I walked away with 2 pages of notes. Craziness!

Same way as mom always taught him.... hitchhiking with strangers, of course! :001_tongu

On a serious note....the disappearance of the Clown House should be thought provoking on how much we love certain things about B&B.

That is why I am a contributor... and why I want to continue to be able to have all these different forums to take part in.

April Fool's Day Everyone!

I hate April Fool's jokes. They're only marginally less annoying than getting pinched on St. Patrick's Day for not wearing green.


I'm afraid you're the one who needs to keep up, I was posting that as an example of a contraction which you reference in the post I answered. :tongue:

That sounds rather final. :eek:

Turns out, that was a little premature. (Odd for me, normally it's..never mind.) I thought everything would be down by now, but most everything is gone now. I remember now why I hate moving so much. Anyhow, the computer and all will be going off line in a few hours, and the new phone and internet will not be up until Monday. So, this is the last post until Monday. :biggrin:

I was also thinking of a northward expansion - Quebec. I think the rest of Canada would thank us.:lol:
