Hear, hear.




The "Liverpoolean" or "Liverputian" (however you say it) guy in one of our branch offices keeps poking fun at me because we Ameri-cans dont learn Latin in school. I think he may be right for once. What in Thread does that mean...and for that matter the one below too?


They're called Liverpudlians, or Scousers.

Mens agitat Molem = Mind over matter
Acerbus et Tortus = Bitter and twisted (roughly)

ORIGINAL: RUPD3658

I am an idiot. I am working OT on an alcohol/disorderly conduct patrol and tried to stop a 19 year old kid for pissing in public. The kid runs on me and like a grey hound chasing a rabbit, before I know what I am doing, I run after him.

I manage to keep up with him and actually close the distance after 2 blocks (which suprizes the hell out of me since I am twice his age and a good 90lb heavier) and try to grab him. I miss and end up hitting the pavement. Fortunetly 10 years of martial arts has taught me how to roll so I only end up with 2 sprained fingers, a rip in my brand new pants (1st night I wore them) and 2 really badly scraped knees. I am so pissed off that I get back up and finally catch the kid a block later. He tries to resist but after being "Directed into a suppopt beam of a house" (nice way of saying body slammed-I do have 90lb on him) I get him cuffed and under control.

As I sit here writing my report and startring to fell the pain I can't help but ask "Why didn't I just let him go?". I am too old for this but I will have mucho bragging rights with the young officers that the old fart in the Bureau can still catch people.


Good job sir.

Was the support beam damaged any when you introduced him to it? I'm recently enough out of college that I can still vividly recall the true depths of human stupidity...and so there is no mistake, college students and soldiers on their first leave are perfect examples of the depth of human stupidity.

From the realm of the deepest, darkest depths comes this little tale. A friend of mine and his GF were driving home after a party. Both of them were four sheets to the wind, as it were. My genius of a friend decides that a rather deserted looking spot along the road is a perfect place to take a quiet tinkle. As he's standing there doing his thing, a police car pulled up with lights flashing. The cop walked up to my friend, gently put his hand on his shoulder, spun him around and calmly inquired about just what the hell he was doing. My friend looked him straight in the eye and said "nuthin, sir"...this was with his willie hanging out of his fly and merrily spraying the ground at the officer's feet. The officer seemed to have been so touched by my friend's sincerity, either that or laughing too hard to actually cite him, that he asked his GF (who was sitting in the car pretending not to be drunk) to take the gentleman home immediately.

I dont know how many Nassau county cops you know RUPD, but next time you see one, tell him thank Thread they have a sense if humor, because if it were me in place of that officer, I would have thrown so many charges at him that he would have forgotten how to pee.

He was the rabbit, I was the greyhound. Hard to think of 5'9" 220 as a grey hound unless you are talking about the bus type.

This is my second foot chase in two years (caught them both) both times with the same partner (15 years older than me). I told him next time I start to run after someone for something stupid like this he should yell "Heel boy heel!" to get me to return to my senses.


And what was your partner doing, if I may ask? In all the cop shows, the partner races the car ahead and interposes it in front of the fleeing perp right before he makes his escape (I love cop show jargon. Please tell me you guys dont actually talk like that.)

Oooh. I've heard the word "scouse" before. But since to my mind it sounds like the name of a rather painful desease, I didnt dare ask what it actually means. Is it derogatory?

I love military motos. Does "Mind over Matter" stand for "quit b*tching and make do with what you have"?

It depends, it can on occassion be taken as an insult, but normally most people are OK with it.

"Mind Over Matter" is some kind of Officers idea for a motto, leaders of men and all that (bless their little cotton socks!)
When I first joined the squadron it was 2 flying squadrons (10/101) with shared aircraft and groundcrews. 10 sqn motto was "Rem acu Tangere" (To hit the mark) from the days when it was a bomber squadron

How I do love military mottos. Of the two units with which I am personally familiar, both had rather silly mottos. At least "Brave Rifles" can be kinda-sorta explained by the units history. Meanwhile, "Duty, Honor Courage" can mean darn near anything and nothing at the same time, while the motto of the immediate sub-unit was "Let's Go", which was especially silly since it hadn't actually gone anywhere since Korea.

My favorite motto of the ones I heard is "Nec Aspera Terrent". Not sure if I translated it right but sounds just oh so damned cool.

I meant the loading of pages and such. I dont think that the more talkative part of the forum is awake yet.

Normally it means something bad is going to happen. The fact that Speedy has just posted is probably just a coincidence though
