  1. I apparently have a little Irish Blood (4-6%)

    I am mostly British (41%) and Scottish (40%). 
    For some reason I feel my British blood has a firm hand in subjugating my Irish blood and isolating it from the rest of my blood. Also the Irish organ, my liver, is doing well since I quit drinking. 
     

    This is meant as humor. If what I say annoys you, you can Pizz Off!

    It IS kinda of interesting how many people suddenly find reasons to "drop by" when I bring in chow.

    People dropping by was never a problem at my last job.

    We used to have a hard time getting Facilities Maintenance to show up to close out repairs on one of our shops, but we noticed every time we had a cook it potluck they always showed up in the morning to fix things then somehow they would weasel their way into eating lunch with us. 
    So, any time we needed something repaired right away in our shop somehow a Fax would “accidentally” be sent to Fac. Maint. about a cookout at our shop, but we weren’t actually having a cookout. 
    We pulled this a number of times. Those boys weren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer.

    If the MJ stands for major on his name tag, why does he have railroad tracks on his shoulder?

     

    I mean, I've heard of a sergeant major, but a captain major?

    It’s for humor…the image is a joke, not a test of everyone’s knowledge of Army ranks vs nameplates. 

     

  4. During COVID we had a pot luck at work. This was at my last LA job. 
    We did not broadcast that we were having this pot luck but somehow the Covid SS (Schutzstaffelfound out about it. They showed up telling us that we needed to maintain the 6’ distance apart and that we had to eat with our masks on. 
    I invited them to leave or break room as we were going to have a Covid Safety meeting. 
    As soon as they left I ordered everyone to get whatever food they thought they could eat and had everyone pick out their eating location (our break room was huge. 15 people could maintain 6’ apart and still have a place to sit and eat. 
    We put all the food away then I went out and called in the SS. 
    They came in and looked around then the real reason for their visit became apparent. 
    “Where’s all the food? We thought we could eat too.”

    “Y’all weren’t invited. Now as you can see we are abiding by the Covid policies and you folks standing in here is infringing on the mandatory  6’ distance so I need you to leave.”

    The leader, a very large and loud black Lady, said “You planned this just so we couldn’t eat!”

    ”No, we planned this so we could eat. Building morale and comradely during these troubling times. Here, let me show you out…”

     

    They left and that was the end of it.

  5. Well, I would love to see a Cops & Robbers shooting competition and even an Association.  I will say a big turn off for me with Zoot Shooters and Wild Bunch is the narrow minded view on what firearms will be used.  If the game was oriented towards 1911’s, Tommy Guns and Model 12 pump shotguns I wouldn’t even bother. 
    Now if traditional police DA revolvers and DA revolvers for the Robbers are they handgun fare then I would be in. 
    I recall as a kid living in various states a lot of patrol cars had “riot guns” but many also had rifles I know in New Mexico and Arizona some officers carried lever action rifles in their cars. 
    In Arkansas I saw bolt guns used by police / deputies. I’m sure any bolt or lever action gun would fill the bill. 
     

    About 15 years ago we discussed this very thing on the Wire. Maybe this time it will get some traction. 

  6. I saw something online about a reboot but I can’t seem to find it now. 
    I own the Firefly series on Amazon Prime. How weird is that? I own it but I can’t touch it. It’s virtual. Weird. 
     

    I hope it’s not an animated show. 
     

    Anyway, here’s a link about the interaction of the original actors lately.
