KD57 · 06-23-2008, 08:09 AM

Congrats, I think???? Maybe not. Good luck on the new job.

**inspiron** · 06-23-2008, 08:49 AM

You don't seem to be particularly happy about the new job, huh Smurf?

HAMMERPETE · 06-23-2008, 09:16 AM

Looks like you made the short list! They did remember to put the blocks on the pedals for you right? j/king!
Good job

Apertureguy · 06-23-2008, 09:21 AM

'Eff 'em bro.

See if you can apply for the Mounted Division. I mean really.....if you're going back to that grind, see if you can do something you enjoy. Don't the Motorcycle guys get better hours and what not?

The "mounted" division? In Georgia?

Our "Mounted" division has 10 Harley Electra Glides that patrol on I-285.

If any of you have ever rode on I-285 here around Atlanta, you realize that their (the mounted division) life expectancy isn't quite as long as someone in a car.

I have a buddy of mine on that squad, needless to say he's "INSANE".

Point well taken.

Uncle B · 06-23-2008, 06:49 PM

Glad for you if that is what you wanted.

omegajim · 06-23-2008, 06:54 PM

it doesn't sound like smurf so much wanted the job as he drew the short straw.

Around here, (milwaukee) the police chief is taking nearly 200 cops out the office and put them on the street.

if by "on the street" you mean in a car slowly driving along and rarely stopping, they will be on the street.

If the Milwaukee PD was serious, they would have a rotation of "beat cops" who walk the beat. Say 1 week every 2 months. The residents have a local cop making the rounds every so often, and the cops don't wreck their feet walking all the time.

Remember, no wise cracks when that trooper pulling you over brings his milk crate with him!!!

Awww, man.....now that right there........that just ain't right.

REALLY funny though!

Oh, and that was just a rumor that I'm coming to Georgia in July!

JmalB · 06-24-2008, 06:39 AM

Time to watch Electric Glide in Blue...

Except the very end of course.

**intimid8er** · 06-24-2008, 07:20 AM

Eh....if it makes you feel any better Scott....I'll let you know whenever I'll be up there....and then I'll be sure to blast through your zones....

I had to fix that for you, you missed the middle part and scuffed the end there.

Congrats on getting away from that desk, FWIW. Nothing like a freaking desk to make your piles fuller and your gut bigger.

I second that statement about 285. I believe Atlanta may be the only major city that I've ever driven into where the traffic actually sped up from 75 to 90 as we approached the city limits (we were coming in on I20).

Since being in this job for the past 7 years, I have made a lot of friends in Federal Agencies including U.S. Customs, R.C.M.P, and several F.B.I. Agents.

Lets seeeeeeeee...................................

[smurf gets the globe out and searches for Aldergrove, B.C., Canada]

Ahhhhh Yes...........there it is. [now he picks up the phone and dials the number to the R.C.M.P and U.S. Customs......Hello.....yes mam, I have some information on an individual living in Aldergrove B.C., could I speak with the Agent in charge ?????]

hehehehehehehe, Balckie will never know what hit him..........
