What a Way to Run a Railroad
Or a Department.
Seems lots of people got calls today telling them that the new Sergeant class was to begin 23 April. Then, not even 4 hours later, another call telling them the "merit" selections had not been finalized and everything was on hold.
One has to wonder if the aldercreatures who lost their re-election bids might have had a few promises that aren't going to get fulfilled now.

Kudos to our US Supreme Court for reaffirming the ban on partial birth abortion today.
The best thing Bush will be remembered for is putting Alito and Roberts on the bench!
off topic----i just want to give a 'hats off' to sos unit 4451. a few nites ago in a southside dist-they onviewed a traffic accident. naturally, they called for a papercar. well they waited over an hour and a half for that papercar (backlog, rap whatever)....then their supervisor said on the air that 'by order' they couldnt do the paper. i guess they can just wait 1 1/2hrs for a non-elite officer to handle the job that they on-viewed.
Keep puching that Sgt's class back, back, back. Thats okay fuck the merit system.

Dam again I paid off and blew the wrong one! Now who do i blow?
"On hold for finalizing merit selections" ?? WTF????
I wonder what category is being finalized?
DNA tests to see which boss you are related to?
Making sure the checks to the local Democratic organization cleared?
Did the questionaires from the bosses on rating the cuties on their looks, abilities to compliment and brush off their knees get lost?
I really feel for the P.O.s who would have been made sergeant, except for the thirty percent, who now have to continue wearing the blue shirt because someone whored the system out.
I wonder if anyone has done a study just to see if the merit selections in all ranks are anywhere near as competent as the ones who made it legit?
It's war! The "Hair Gel" police versus the "bald spot" police. Can someone please makeup "hair gel police" t-shirts like the Buslik ones.
you hit it on the head, political hacks that were promised job promotions are now going to get shafted in light of the elections. Wonder how it can not have been finalized when only three people meet for the merit election board and they had the materials as of 29 March. Yeah its a total joke this is an example of it 100%, I guess the officials making the calls did not get the election results before notifying the legit promotees.
In 1988, after a three and one half year process, the department called in 274 people for the largest sergeant's class ever.
This was a joyous occasion for all, seeing old friends, seeing our new stars and knowing that studying did some good.
We were called into to academy gym and told, "Due to an administrative hang-up we will not be able to promote today."
Can you imagine the effect of that announcement everyone gather there. Thank-you Timothy Evans and Judson Minor.
They sent us home and called us back the next day after putting in 13 more minorities and women.
Not much has changed has it.
Kruesi is pulling the pin and I'm taking over!!!! And if you though the CTA is fucked up now....

I don't think that is what it is at all. I really think you are missing the point of it all.
It has nothing to do with eliteness but division of labor and responsibility.
Their responsibility was to stand by, render aid to the injured, maintain order and ensure the smooth flow of traffic because they on viewed it.
The job of REPORTING that traffic crash lies with a unit in the district of occurrence.
If a Detective Unit on viewed it would you expect them to do the paper, a sergeant, a street deputy, a canine unit, a mounted unit, explosives tech, crime lab, unit from another district?
Do you see my point, the division of labor and responsibility? We all have responsibilities as Chicago Police Officers and as a unit in the district of occurrence, your's is to do the paper. Get to work, Hair Gel Boy!

That's right you little Bitch! Fuck with the bull and you get the horns. We are SOS and you are not. Pussy.
This just in, Ron Huberman is not going to be the Supt. of Police. He is now taking over the CTA. Frank Krusi is stepping down.
Hubberman would of made a good Supt. would have kicked all the old timer bosses in the ass.

The entitlement baby hair gel police have put a stop to the promotions. They have claimed special status. They want merit promotions for themselves and the so called police who wear Michael Jackson gloves. They will placed on all merit promotion lists, as the Mayor does not want to fight another silly, silly, lawsuit.
Mayoral chief of staff Ron Huberman is moving to head the CTA, replacing CTA boss Frank Kruesi, who’s leaving.
All I could say about this is that I am glad this moron will not be the head of the police department.
What I am wondering though, will he continue to be carried in detached services for the police department? Why the fuck is our pension fund going to be paying this asses huge ass pension when he never even worked for the department for 10 years? Is he going to end up like Cortez Trotter and recieve numerous pension checks?
Please, correct me if I am wrong. I infer from reading all the whiners comments on the site that all Sgt.s and all people on the Sgt.'s list are there because of clout. If the whiners make it they will be the only "real" Sgt.s
ANYONE GOING TO THE NYPD vS CPD FOOTBALL GAME?
Huberman takes over CTA..
Kruesi resigns!!
BREAKING NEWS:
Mayor Daley appoints Ron Huberman the President of the C.T.A. after the current CTA President resigns.
So much for Huberman being the next CPD SUPT.
One Down... the selection is getting slimmer.
I drove past that elite S.O.S. unit sittin on that traffic accident. I could've done the paper, but screw that elite unit. Elite? are u kidding! What makes them elite? The old S.O.S. was elite, not these new wannabee mfu%&ers. The only reason people come to unit 153 is to avoid answering calls and to tell their whore girlfriends they are ELITE!
They don't have a clue the real police used to walk those halls, are now mostly gone.

Well, Well, Well, 26 years later as I leave here we go again I watch the lies of the merit(Juice)promotions or the others at the top who have been given the correct answer? some things never will change, this blue shirt says good night and good luck.
SOS HAS BECOME THE JOKE OF THE CPD. I SEE WHAT THEY BRING IN THE DISTRICTS, THE NEW SOS ARE TRULY NEW! IT'S BASICALLY THE TRU OF THE WEST SIDE. TOTALLY RETARDED UNIT! WHY NOT JUST DISBAND IT AND KEEP SWAT SEPERATE? THEY DON'T BRING IN NEARLY THE NUMBERS THEY DID FROM THE LAST 5-6 YEARS. I'M EMBARASSED TO SEE THEM IN THE DISTRICTS W/ THEIR PIMPY ARRESTS, SHIT, THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HELL THEIR DOING. THEY LOOK SCARED AS HELL. I USED TO BE THERE, BUT NOW I AM EMBARASSED 4 THEM AND THE ONE'S WHO REMAINED THERE! THEY BROUGHT IN M-1'S AND F-4'S, ARE YOU FU@$ING KIDDING ME? THIS JOB IS A FU%^ING JOKE...CRIME WILL SKYROCKET THE NEXT FEW YEARS! F.U. PHAT PHIL! DIE EARLY IN RETIREMENT.
Oh things have changed in the world of clout and nepotism. It has become more blatant! Look at the papers every day. If you are not related or in with the in crowd or a "REV" you pay the bills. Look at Blago. He snubs the press. Will not answer any questions. Emil Jones blocks any bills that will give the un clouted/unrelated a break while he changes rules and job requirements to fit his family. We could go on and on.
I remember the 1988 Sgts. class, I was in it. What a joke, study , study , study and then some politicos just walk right in.
I also remember the 1995 Lieutenants class- Arthur Andersen test- supposedly legit. Class started and they walked in 13 politicos which was the beginning the merit nonsense. Oh well.
SWAT= BANDANNAS, CHEESY TATOOS, CHIN UP, PUMPED UP CHESTS, L.A. HAIR GEL, TUFF GUY BLACK GLOVES W/ THE FINGER TIPS CUT OFF, COMBAT BOOTS(BUT THEY WERE NEVER IN THE SERVICE), TIGHT T-SHIRTS, USING OTHER COPPERS STORIES, REFUSING TO EXHALE WHEN YOU SEE OTHER P.O.'S OR BROAD'S. NO, NOT JEALOUS, JUST BEING OBSERVANT TOWARD MY FELLOW P.O.'S!
I KNOW 90% OF THESE SO-CALLED SWAT MEN, TRULY THE BIGGEST WANNABEE POLICE. THERE ARE A FEW THAT WERE THE POLICE, BUT, THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE. YOU SWAT MEMBERS, ARE A FUCKN DISCRACE TO THE BLACK TOUGH GUY UNIFORM. GO HIDE IN THE WAR ROOM.
Why would someone in SOS have a traffic book? If you lazy goofs would handle your jobs they wouldn't be waiting that long. While I'm at it, if you lazy mutts would do your job SOS and TRU wouldn't be down there and you would not have to see them.
How many were/are they gonna take in the first class?
random thoughts...to the federal monitor: comparing the list of sgt. merit selections compiled prior to the runoff election with a list compiled after the election might make for interesting reading....to the male employees (bus drivers, motormen, etc.) at the CTA; time to hit the gym and the bathhouse boys!! Looks like there's a new sheriff in town!
After the CTA named one of their lines the Pink Line was their any doubt as to who their new boss would be?
Major transit problem? How to fix? Why the chicago way, appoint a political hack with zero transit experience, now that make sense.
The cunning lil rat mayor strikes again.i
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Hey thats cool SCC, I love it when you post people's names. Who got a call from personnel?
Hubberman out for next Sup. he was just appointed to CTA clown.
Hubberman said he's qualified to run the CTA because he drove a school bus during college.
Bernard Stone called him a " genuis ".
A piss bum looks like a genius next to the total incompetence of our city government.
The connection between the city council changes, and this promotion debacle should be immediately looked into.
get your share of the 12 million, I want it all
I thought it was 266 that were on the teletype list, then we were sent home. It mysteriously became 267 the very next day, which was 01 DEC 88. SC (now a Lt.)was strangely added, with a plan to add 13 females and male minorities as of 16 DEC 88, which did occur, making the final total 280. It was probably the largest Sergeant's class since O.W. Wilson's huge class of Sergeants in the 60's.
Frank Kruesi...he gone!
Will the Red Line run faster now??
Will there still be chicken bones on the floors?
Nothing like getting those who scored well on the test all nervous about whether the test/list is going to be taken down over some lawsuit or other BS

just watched video of "da mare's" press conference re: the CTA (Kruesi out, Lubberman in). Wow, not only can't he speak, he apparenty can't read, either (reading from a prepared statement, he fu@@ed it up several times. And Lubberman...someone sugested awhile back that da mare and Lubberman were in the hot tub together, having a "father and son moment"....what an image

Saw on the news yesterday that the dirtbag who shot all those kids at VT was here on a student visa...but here's the scary part....Apparantly, he was diagnosed as psychotic by a us hospital 18 months ago! Ummm maybe he should have been sent back? Or were we all waiting for him to enroll in flight classes that emphasize only steering? I guess Chicago isn't the only safe haven....

I heard this guy ratted out a copper that was on an assignment, per OEMC and then subsequently sanctioned by his Sgt., that took him out of his beat/district. Anyone know more? Hey Sgt., worry about your own fucking (wo)men. And he wonders why no one will back him up on a 10-01.
I feel so bad for all those guys! I mean think about it for a second. They KNEW they will be sgts even before they sat down for the "test"! And that was what? 9 months ago!? How appauling! I mean THEY KNEW THEY ARE GOING TO SGTS!! Now they have to wait a few more months. That just sucks...
sorry guys!
seeing our new stars and knowing that studying did some good.
AAAAAAAA HAHAHHAHA good one!
To 4/19/2007 8:47:00A.M.
In either 1960 or 1961, O.W. Wilson promoted 500 sergeants at one time. So far that was the largest sergeants class in the history of the department, not 1988. No, I am not that old, but I do know a little history.
This might help some of you European-American males understand what it is like for a young brother to co-exsist in this so called free counrty and the effect of P.T.S.D.

Well, shiiiittt. Sounds like the only thing they did wrong was to wait for your lazy ass to get there.
And no, I don't work in SOS. But I sure as fuck wouldn't expect them to carry a traffic accident report either.
Quit your fucking whining already adn do your job. It isn't that hard.

Off topic: I can't find the wording of the CPD oath of office anywhere. Can you help, SCC. Anyone? I need it for a blog discussion on gun control that has now moved into immigration and our "sanctuary city". I dug out my graduation program and it's not printed. The L.E. code of ethics is but I need the oath and no luck searching online.
Not enuf MinoZ. What a joke. I wish we could see the results AND how they were graded. Looked like it was {If YOJ < 5 GREAT >10 BAD we need to mold.}
Can't wait to see what the first list is made up of, maybe a few who deserve it but very many w/less than 8 yrs on the job who couldn't find a dice game in vegas gonna be your boss and gonna know what to do if you need them to come to bat for you, their inexperience is gonna hurt a lot of working police, but maybe thats what this department wants, hence the 7 mo.wait to alter the test to their specs

THE SHAMEFUL PROFESSION.....
ending or radically changing the merit promotion system should be the first priority of our union. p.o.s should make this a priority for our next contract.
I am curious. Does anyone think that passing the Sergeant's test- no matter the score determines the persons qualifications to be a Supervisor. Are merit promotees better or worse than those who scored high?
My question is put forth because in all of the blather I see here, not one person claims that maybe, just maybe it is more important that the people being promoted are great police officers.
In thirty years, I have seen the pooches who have scored high on the test. Most have rarely worked the street or they were just plain incompetent. On the other hand, I have seen merit supervisors who are more qualified than the high scorers. I personally know a few merits who are not only great supervisors, but terrific police officers.
Since we have always had merit promotions- even before the useless contract- get used to it. Complaining will not change it and who knows maybe the merit guy/gal will help you better than the person who only spent his/her career studying for the test.
So when is the list coming out now?
"their supervisor said on the air that 'by order' they couldnt do the paper."
As they were under orders to sandbag the 1st M/1 they came across, flip him in order to conduct a home invasion. Their only function is to obtain ill gotten funds thru thievery.
The same thing happened when Harold died. People that were struttin' they stuff about being made lt. were sudenly nowhere on the list. Most notably Sgt. R.T. in Vice.
I wonder if anyone has done a study just to see if the merit selections in all ranks are anywhere near as competent as the ones who made it legit?
4/19/2007 07:09:00 AM
Commander Sal Avila, 014, merit all the way. 'Nuff said
CTA GOTZ A NEW BOSS AND IT RYMES WITH LUBBER-MAN.
THEY DO HAVE CAMERAS ON BUSES.
IS HE STILL THE POLICE B CUZ IF HE IS I'D LIKE TO WORK AT STREET AND SAN MAKING REAL MONEY.
Holy crap Huberman is running the CTA. Pulling trains has really paid off.
Do you guys know any merit sgts that actually deserved it? Smart, hard workers? Just curious. Merit is also for great cops who may not have scored as well on the test, not only family and political promises. Right?
Speaking or running a railroad, Hubberman is now in charge of the CTA. I guess everyone will be riding one big pink line now.
Hey Dailey, we saw you sucking the bosses to get put in for merit. You don't expect us to believe that you are legit knowing that you were over 600 out on the test, do you? Just admit it, it's like an AA meeting.
"Hi, I am sean dailey and I am a meritorious suck"
SCC, you know everything, but the site is getting lame zzzzzzzz.
to 08:47
That 01 Dec 1988 sgts class was one where the top scorers were given a code to ensure theyd get a high mark on the oral board
the words were " A writng instrument and a piece of paper" or similar words regarding the writing instrument
By answering the "bonus question"
using the words writing instrument to describe a 29 cent Bic pen alerted the raters that the candidate was to receive a high mark and the fix was in.
Similar verbiage " Notify the Watch Commander" were given to Sergeants who were candiates for Lieutenant whose promotions were guaranteed.
Most of those who made it particularly in the first class cheated and stole their promotion from guys like me.
I have no respect for those who made rank in those first classes.
I also harbor resentment and dislike for them
Go cry about how much the Dept fucked you to someone else.
Well luberman ain't gonna be superintedent. He will now be a gun toting head of the CTA. Wonder if he is still classified an exempt cop. Maybe he will work CTA special while he's head of the department. Gobble Gobble Swallow!!!!
Is Ron Huberman now the Head of the CTA? I thought he was going to be the next Superintendent of Police.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
Mayor Daley appoints Ron Huberman the President of the C.T.A. after the current CTA President resigns.
So much for Huberman being the next CPD SUPT.

How are they to learn or taught procedure? These guys might be your back-up. Or they are being groomed to be assholes years on the job because when they where new, people acted like shit, as you are?

BT 1130 IS A SNITCH
Are you taking about 1130 (1st watch) ?
Someone has to tell him to tone it down. Every time I'm try to close my eyes for the night he pipes in with some 011 drama. And he talks so damn loud!
Squad, just give him a number for the water pumps. And yes, he's clear.
But he's classic sometimes, I crack up at some of the stuff he says.
so this means that the worthless sgts in Mayberry RFD will become
LTs., what a shame esp. since they have done nothing in their careers to justify their merit promotions
How about maybe just maybe our fraternal organization fop could post the merit names and the coppers who made it legit! Then we can cross reference the names with daddy,mommy,clout,exempts,alderthieves just to be sure it is legit! SORRY JUST WOKE UP WAS A DREAM!
Am I bitter on merit? YES!I studied hard on the 95 test I believe it was and what happened number went from 220 to 1,954! After norming read "CLOUT and RACE."

I just don't understand some of the crying on this post. Why don't some of the complainers use your time doing something constructive? Maybe you could think of ways to make the promotion process better. Some very valid points were made in all this rubbish. You want to fix the promotion process here is how you do it.
1. Dump the FOP!!!! They are the number 1 reason we have so many idiots getting promoted. The FOP won't let the city put in a activity quota as part of the promotion process and not vice versa. The FOP thinks that somebody working the back office should be just as elligible for promotion as the guy bringing in 200 plus heads a year. The working police all know what the answer is to that question is. A very valid point was made in a post about the book worms getting promoted. Must be nice not to work the street.
2. Start a quota system!!!!! Do nothings need not apply!!!! The system would be based on 4 things Arrests, Movers, ANOVS, and the total number of jobs you take. Parkers (no contact with a person) and Contact cards (can be made up) don't count!!! The amount of activity you have to get is based upon the Dist or Unit you work in.
3. Eliminate the college requirement for promotion to those officers who didn't need it when they got hired. This would boost morale ten fold. We all know the new guys have to have college and thats fine. I earned my bachelors degree from a State University before I came on this job. It doesn't make me a better cop than all those who don't have a degree. How many idiots have bullshit degrees from Lewis or some other clown college anyway???
4. Make the merit process real. We all know coppers who are the cream of the crop on this job that don't do well on tests. This is what merit was supposed to be for. The activity comes into play again only bump it up. To be elligible for a merit promotion you have to be in the top 5% in activity in the dist or unit your from. Make a note on the promotion list as to who the merit promotions are. If you want to take a merit promotion you shouldn't be ashamed or afraid to have your name published.
This is just a few ideas. I know its a dream but, things could be alot better and these few things would be a start.

REAL QUICK QUESTION.....WHY ARE THE QUALITY OF PPO'S FALLING RAPIDLY???????
Because no one in their right mind wants to work for this fucked up department or be forced to overpay for a house in this slum city anymore. Only goofs and immigrants need apply.

TRUE 100% if you studied harder in college and did not do the binge drinking on mom and dads dime you would have a better job! If you want to be the police join the state police, or other entity! unless you have clout all the education in the world will net you 0 for promotions! Let the city pay for more degrees then leave that is justice and payback!
Hubberman would of made a good Supt. would have kicked all the old timer bosses in the ass.

Why would someone in SOS have a traffic book? If you lazy goofs would handle your jobs they wouldn't be waiting that long. While I'm at it, if you lazy mutts would do your job SOS and TRU wouldn't be down there and you would not have to see them.

most busy areas are in a backlog. those fuckers onviewed it, so they should handle it. i would have gladly brought them a traffic accident report. they;re police just like us so fuck them they're useless
HEY CRY BABIES…MERIT HATERS….NEWS BRIEF….
WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF LEGIT??? SCORING HIGH ON THE EXAM???
PLEEEEEEASE!!!
REAL CLOUT BABIES NEED NOT WORRY ABOUT THE MERIT PROMOTIONS!!! THEY WERE TAKEN CARE OF ON YOUR PRECIOUS LIST!!!
IF YOU THINK THAT ALL OF THE HIGH SCORERS ARE THERE LEGIT…YOU’RE NUTS!!!
IF A GOOD, HARD WORKING COPPER DIDN’T RANK WELL ON THE LIST AND MAKES IT ON MERIT, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. DON’T WORRY ABOUT FOP LISTING LEGIT AND MERIT BECAUSE THAT WOULDN’T TELL YOU ANYTHING.
A PROMOTIONAL EXAM WITH A RAW SCORE AND THAT DIDN’T TAKE A YEAR TO GRADE (FIX) WOULD SHOW A LEGIT LIST.
WAHHHH-WAHHHHH!!!!!

BT 1130 IS A SNITCH
Are you taking about 1130 (1st watch) ?
Someone has to tell him to tone it down. Every time I'm try to close my eyes for the night he pipes in with some 011 drama. And he talks so damn loud!
Squad, just give him a number for the water pumps. And yes, he's clear.
But he's classic sometimes, I crack up at some of the stuff he says.

HEY THE ELITE SOS HANDLE A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT, THATS TOO BELOW, THEM I LIKE IT WHEN THEY ARE INVOLVED IN A CAR CHASE THAT THEN RESULTS IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT, WHERE LIKE ARE THE LITTLE BITCHES, OH THEY FLEE BUT THAT OKAY YOUR NO CLOUT WORKING P.O. FROM THE DISTRICT ALAWAYS HANDLES YOUR MESS. GO F-CK YOURSELVES AND THEY OUT OF OUR DISTRICT.
If a Detective Unit on viewed it would you expect them to do the paper, a sergeant, a street deputy, a canine unit, a mounted unit, explosives tech, crime lab, unit from another district?
i guess you miss the point all those with the exception of the unit from aother district are pay grades above PO.
Am I bitter on merit? YES!I studied hard on the 95 test I believe it was and what happened number went from 220 to 1,954! After norming read "CLOUT and RACE."

the 95 test had no clout, race norming it was the only promotion test where promotions were by strick line #

If you care, try training a new officer? They are treated worse than a dog in districts. Everyone complains but few will offer assistance. FTO program is the worst in U.S. They leave academy ready to go but are quickly shut down by do nothing "veterans". Generations of untrained officers and this is the result.
Well said. Our testing process does not "find" the best managers but instead the better test takers.
I am curious. Does anyone think that passing the Sergeant's test- no matter the score determines the persons qualifications to be a Supervisor. Are merit promotees better or worse than those who scored high?
My question is put forth because in all of the blather I see here, not one person claims that maybe, just maybe it is more important that the people being promoted are great police officers.
In thirty years, I have seen the pooches who have scored high on the test. Most have rarely worked the street or they were just plain incompetent. On the other hand, I have seen merit supervisors who are more qualified than the high scorers. I personally know a few merits who are not only great supervisors, but terrific police officers.
Since we have always had merit promotions- even before the useless contract- get used to it. Complaining will not change it and who knows maybe the merit guy/gal will help you better than the person who only spent his/her career studying for the test.
sorry, but if a PPO can't figure out how to work a gas pump or have enough brains to get the attendant to do it, I really don't think he or she should be running around carrying a loaded 15 shot 9 mm.

Yes, I agree. All patronage, er, merit promotions should be available for all to see along with their merit qualifications, how many years served, etc. Also, they should list those who have been Merited more than once... they certainly must be truly qualified!
Perhaps the merit selections will then be granted to those who truly deserve.
Scc:
How about a thread on those who have been merited more than once? Those are your true polical hacks or c*cksuckers.

Off topic: I can't find the wording of the CPD oath of office anywhere. Can you help, SCC. Anyone?
4/19/2007 05:05:00 PM
***********************************
There is no CPD Oath of Office.
It is the CPD mission statement that you speak of.
Who cares about the next sergeant's class...who the f@#ck wants to be sgt., and babysit all these crybaby sissy's?? When's the next detective's class, so I can be treated like an adult?
doesnt seem fair does it
4/20/2007 12:09:00 PM
Hey pussy, why don't you say something at roll call since we have the same start time now? Oh, thats what I thought you would rather photocopy people's pictures and tape them to mirrors and write on bathroom walls. I can see why you are unhappy with your life but don't take your frustrations out on others. Any day, old man.

fillmoreranger, get over yourself. The Irish have been the main beneficiaries of merit and clout. I've been clouted out of promotions by mutts of all colors and persuasions. Just like I've been legitimately outscored by people of all persuasions.
Look at the nationality of the mayor, and those in his inner sanctum. Mostly Irish.
You should reconsider calling yourself a fillmore ranger, as if you only have twenty odd years on the job, it would make you a harrison/kedzie ranger. It ain't been fillmore for more than thirty years. I feel for the blacks that run afoul of your ire. You need to be a Jefferson or Albany park ranger for a while, so you have minimal contacts with blacks. You're a major lawsuit/embarrassment waiting to happen. I bet your commander pops a maalox every time he sees you.
