That's awesome!

One of my former co-workers, who happened to be European, was very much of the opinion that he would allow only women or obviously gay men to cut his hair. His theory was that he wanted someone who cared how he looked when they were finished.

Interesting theory. I prefer a good looking woman cut my hair because I care who's hands are all over me. :lol:

:blink::blink:

I hope you've brought enough for the rest of us.

"Todd" is derived from Middle English for "fox." :smartass: (I would think a SwampTodd would know that. :sad:)

Man alive, I had forgotten about that show and for good reason!

It occurs to me I have been sharing an amusing story from the night about every day. Last night was largely uneventful aside from having to call the bomb squad in and the drunk got that was run over by his ex-wife.

Therefore, today's amusing anecdote will be something that happened on my night off, on Saturday night. The guys made sure to tell me since I wasn't there. This story should demonstrate how close my real life and B&B life has come, which is frightening.

A woman jacked up on something was brought in claiming to have been speaking with demons and angels at her door over the last few weeks. Your typical loony. But, she was wearing a black T-shirt, a black thong that said "B****" across the front, and leather chaps. Nothing else. So, everyone saw her wearing nothing but chaps and automatically thought of me.

On second thought, maybe I shouldn't have told this one. :huh:

At my job? Yes. Granted, we only call the bomb squad out once or twice a year. Usually it is more interesting of an event though. This was two suit cases found by one of our officers justing outside of a side door of one of our office buildings. No one was at work yet so no evacuation was necessary and they turned out to be empty. So, pretty boring all the way around.

Hi group!

Here's how this weekend unfolded fantasy football wise.

My Assyrians racked up a whopping 240 plus points to go to 7-1 over Swampcats.

The Gruderians destroyed the Braves much like the Giants had their way with the Rangers. Sad, sad, sad.

Anyway. The Krusaders beat up the Tide easily.

This brings us to the Division leaders (Chad and I) with control, but the fight is for the other two playoff spots. Please, change your rosters, update them with the injuries and byes, and keep fighting!

Signing off,

Last night was as uneventful as the night before. Thank God! I am too old to be fighting people. Not really, but the glamor is gone. Just stay in your room and shut up. Otherwise, come out swinging so I can put you down hard and restrain you and not have to mess with it the rest of the night. I don't have the patience to pretend like I care. Yeah, that's why I'm told I'm heartless. :blush:

Last night was the typical "I'm depressed and I want attention" types and a couple of drunks. The event that stood out as odd was there was a homeless man that was honest. I know how weird that may sound but you have to realize who we normally deal with. By the end of winter, we normally know all of the local homeless troublemakers pretty well. But this guy didn't fit the bill at all. He was honest straight up about being homeless. He could go to a shelter if he could get a ride. Now, most of the ones we see have been banned from the local shelters. They know our admin doesn't like the idea of kicking a bum out on the street in the cold because what if something were to happen. I figure they got here, they can figure out a way to go away too.

When this guy couldn't get a ride, he said he knew we wouldn't let him stay but we already said he had a half hour. He was going to wait that out and see what he could do, maybe start walking. We were so surprised by his understanding attitude and honesty, even I softened a corner of the stone I call my heart. We took two officers and drove him to the shelter ourselves. This is extremely unheard of. In fact, it is the first time I've ever seen it done.

One item of note, I looked him up and this was only his second visit to our system ever. Again, very unusual. It also indicated he was not the typical abuser of the system we normally see.

We were so moved, the officer driving actually stopped the vehicle for the man to get out. (I wouldn't have but hey...) :lol:

The only way I would have a landline phone nowadays is if I lived far enough out in the country where cell coverage was spotty. That has to be pretty far out around here, unless you have Sprint or AT&T, then you pretty much have to climb a cell tower and touch the phone to the antenna. :001_rolle

Last night could not end soon enough! What a terrible night. There wasn't anything especially interesting but there was a lot of said uninteresting stuff. Because of a stabbing, I got stuck at a lonely stationary post for four hours. However, it was not as lonely as it should have been and I got yelled at several times. The one lady was in the process of telling me how stupid I was when I just about went off on her. I had had enough. Even after her rant, I asked her to have a seat while I tried to figure out what she needed to know. She said no because she would be sitting there for hours waiting on me. Screw her then. I didn't do a thing to help her. After all, she said no. I can only assume she was saying no to my offer to help. Sadly, the proper authority came looking for her about a half hour later. He had been looking for a while. I wanted to point out to her if she had accepted my offer to help, he would have been here twenty-five minutes ago since he was already looking for her by that point. But, I kept my mouth shut since I was already going to have a couple of complaints filed on me today.

The second half of my shift went much better but the mood had already been set.

Rant #2:

I don't know how many of you have to deal with your local prosecutor's office but ours is a pain! I got subpoenaed for an incident I was involved in a while back. Several officers were and I thought I had escaped this one. Everyone was given a deadline to cal Karen. If you fail to do so, you can be found in contempt. The day of the deadline, I am informed by my manager by email, Oh by the way, you were supposed to call her too. So, make sure you do that today. I got this email at 0200, two hours into the next day. Now, I am trying to call Karen and she won't answer. I just know that I am going to go to sleep for about an hour so I am really out and then get a call back from her. :cursing:

There it remained, lost in the mists of time for over a century, until it began to be produced at The Broadford Hotel by James Ross. It soon became known as An Dram Buidheach – the drink that satisfies - and was then registered as Drambuie in 1893.

Rant #2:

I don't know how many of you have to deal with your local prosecutor's office but ours is a pain! I got subpoenaed for an incident I was involved in a while back. Several officers were and I thought I had escaped this one. Everyone was given a deadline to cal Karen. If you fail to do so, you can be found in contempt. The day of the deadline, I am informed by my manager by email, Oh by the way, you were supposed to call her too. So, make sure you do that today. I got this email at 0200, two hours into the next day. Now, I am trying to call Karen and she won't answer. I just know that I am going to go to sleep for about an hour so I am really out and then get a call back from her. :cursing:

Hang in there brother. Hopefully Karen will be understanding.

Looks to me like you've skipped a few too many of the morning PTs. :whistling: And I'm pretty sure Brilliantine isn't reg.

Not a chance! In fact, I had my semi-annual fitness test today and scored an 84%.

I like that! It's very PC. There are no longer any fat, skinny, or just plain ugly people, they are just proportionately challenged. :w00t:

No, Blake, he's not faster than a speeding bullet, but with that cape, and those aerodynamic pointy ears and no pants, he should be able to get there faster than a speeding......:blink: Wait a minute, didn't Dennis say he was going to the land of Deliverance? Holy pig-squeeler, Batman, this could be a trap! Could the legend of those chaps have made it all the way into a banjo ballad?

Mean while, back in the cab of an 18-wheeler someone in the Ozarks, Dennis is staring sadly at a menacing two days of stubble in the mirror...

I've heard of an octopus's garden, but didn't realize they also live in trees. :001_cool:

One of the officers I work with recently went to a family member's wedding. One of the kids just walked up to him and said, "Don't worry." Followed by the above quote. She then walked away.

I love kids! :lol::lol::lol:
Little kids are so honest. Doesn't mean what they say always makes sense, but at least it's honest. :thumbup1:

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a nurse a few years ago. Her son was in elementary school. They were education them on drug abuse. They asked the class if they knew anyone that used drugs. Her son raised his hand and announced to the class that his mom used drugs every day. She got home from work to find a police officer and social worker waiting for her. Her son was with Child Protective Services. She explained that she was a nurse and he must have been talking about her job. She let them search her home and took a drug test. She had her son back by the next day but there was still some court appearances and hoops to jump through before the matter was laid to rest.

She jokingly said she wanted to wring that boy's neck but knew CPS was watching her too closely. :lol:

Yes, it is. What was really sad, the whole matter could have been laid to rest if they had asked the kid anything about it. Instead, they automatically took custody and made accusations. Decisive action is a good thing but a little knowledge is also very important. :thumbdown

When she told this story, she had jumped all the hoops they had required and only had one more court appearance so the judge could say it was officially over. She went into some debt over the whole thing. As she was telling the story, we would be saying how horrible and then start laughing and then apologizing again. She said, no it is funny. Don't worry. She kept a good spirit about it but had taken the time to educate her son so this incident was not repeated. :001_rolle

I'm having a shave emergency. I'm getting dangerously low on lathering products and won't be home for three more weeks.

Hmmm... isn't asking for a PIF against the rules? :tongue_sm:lol:

Well, I wasn't exactly asking, just stating the facts. I thought for sure my GMS #21 would last longer.

S***W the rules, this is an emergency! Where's Rob? No, Blake, he's not faster than a speeding bullet, but with that cape, and those aerodynamic pointy ears and no pants, he should be able to get there faster than a speeding......:blink: Wait a minute, didn't Dennis say he was going to the land of Deliverance? Holy pig-squeeler, Batman, this could be a trap! Could the legend of those chaps have made it all the way into a banjo ballad?

Mean while, back in the cab of an 18-wheeler someone in the Ozarks, Dennis is staring sadly at a menacing two days of stubble in the mirror...

Yes, that could have happened, but thankfully I had my emergency AOS sampler packs tucked safely away in my dopp kit. If I use all of those, I still have a few shaves worth of Nivea shave cream in a crumpled up tube as well.

Hopefully I will survive until my homecoming, but if anyone is in the Pontoon Beach, IL area, I am staying at the Flying J truck stop tonight and would gladly accept any kind offerings. Of course, I could always swing into a Wally-mart and pick up a puck of VDH if I have to.
