Still Having Fun
The economy sucks, the housing market continues to tank, the mayor is presiding over what might be the second coming of the Titanic, and our supervisory ranks leave much to be desired. But some people still know how to find a laugh when they need it:
The e-mail from one of our west side fans labeled this "Crate-Henge." We assume that there are Packer fans among them seeing as how it went up before the Bears game this past Sunday and Chicago got pasted shortly thereafter. This is definitely the product of some twisted minds though - and it's hilarious. How many milk crates did they have to take from the corner dope boys to build this thing?

Well its gone already. It was funny while it was up. Word has it that some of the local west side cornner stores that are in 011 are getting together to sue and get cr numbers of the officers that built this. They also want a report for theft of lost or mislaid property. They didn't care if the dope boys had them, but as soon as they heard the police had them,they know they can make a quick buck and will try to.

Wow, really?
Guess you had to be there...
According to the picture, 79 crates.
sign on "Crate-Henge" read:
"Crate-Henge- Established 2011 by a mysterious race of mystics who have since disappeared from the face of the earth. Thought to be an astronomical calendar. Crate-Henge now appears to have been a scene of bloody animal sacrifice and worship."
Laughed my ass off as I came to work that day!
Meanwhile a half planet away...
A fake Batman has marched into Christchurch central police station demanding to know what emergency had triggered the "bat signal" - white light beaming through the sky.
STOP!!
I can't Bear it...
Con-crate-ulations to whomever-
OT - Why the welfare class can't be trusted
California issues ATM cards to their welfare recipients. An LA Times investigation has found that while the State has a $19 BILLION dollar budget deficit, $69 MILLION dollars cash from the welfare cash cards has been taken out OUTSIDE of the State of California! Nearly $2 million was withdrawn in Las Vegas casinos, with other withdrawals being made in Hawaii, Miami's South Beach, at Disney World, on 14 different Cruise ship lines and even as far away as Beijing, CHINA!
Talk about ineptitude in government!
Maybe you don't care about California's troubles....but when they start asking the rest of the states to bail them out...you will!

That is seriously funny in a Druid sort of way.
IT TOOK WEEKS TO GET ALL THOSE CRATES!
TO BAD THE WHITE SHIRTS WORRY ABOUT CRATES AND NOT THAT THE TOILETS DONT FLUSH OR THE VENT SPEW TOXIC FUMES.
79 Crates!
What do I win Franko?
Hey, put that artistic piece in a lobby in one of the newer districts and you could get paid $50K or more just like the other artists did.
It looks like there's 79 milk crates there, nice job.
West Side, Best Side
stay tuned, we have more "cre-crate ations" planned. we are also trying to collect several thousand and fence off 011 like we've planned for years. "who run barter town?" LIFM
Wait- that looks like it was fun! Someone call somebody cause somebody else never got the memo that we aren't supposed to gave fun!!!
As a retiree with the time on his hands necessary for such a task, I can tell you there are 79 milk crates...
You're welcome.
Most def gave me an early morning chuckle :)
"Fun" is not allowed in Chicago!
The "Grinch" stole Chicago!!!!
No posts on McCarthy's 007 district visit? He tells 1400 roll call that the city is hiring 50 more officers and possibly another 17 with grant money. He said that he is doing his best to get more oficers then minutes later, still seated in the 007 roll call room, tells abc7 that the FOP is wrong and that we don't need to hire any more police.
After the 'exhibit' is over, dismantled and donated, Louie can sell those milk crates on eBay as Skip Dillard Urban Basketball Hoops !
- only $5.99 + shipping w/PayPal.
(Official Bucket Boy Exhibit opening soon at Warer Tower)
The fact that we can still have some fun with this job means all is not lost.
Laugh a little, it helps.
Was that Weis laying inside the crates? All I could make out was a big head!
O.T.:McCarthy Disputes Police Staffing Needs
Sep 30, 2011 8:29 a.m.
Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy is disputing the number of police officers the city needs.
He said a number set years ago at 13,500 officers is a "fabricated" number, and that the current force of about 11,000 is doing a great job.
The police union said the city still needs more officers.
McCarthy said between Aug. 1 and Sept. 25th, overall crime in the city was down 25 percent from a year ago.
This guy is clearly drinking Rahm's kool aid!
Go back East you ass wipe.
Looks to be 79 crates.
I don't get it.
Are they applying for a church license or a liquor license? Just figured, it's already on the corner, so they must be getting their church on, and the place is literally built with liquor store seating, so that's a bit of a no-brainer as well...
OT , last day to file 55-60 retirement papers .
How many Supervisors will retire in Nov and Dec 2011 and Police Officers will retire in 2012 ?

If I'm not mistaken, those crates are the property of whatever dairy company supplied the milk. There's usually a stamp on the crate.
A GREAT job!!
79 Crates!

if you can manage to live that long.
OFF TOPIC but still IMPORTANT**
Here is a news flash-only 3 police agencies out of the 174 in Illinois that applied for the COPS Federal Grant funds received approval. And CPD did not get selected!
How did Cicero get $1.35 million and Rahm "I have a golden rolodex" get ZERO!?
Did G-Mac drop the ball AGAIN!!!
Even U of I Police in Champagne got 500k!!
G-Mac, get your head out of your girlfriends ass and work on the Federal grants. They are kind of important here.
This is "old school" fun at its finest. I had an old, and I mean old twenty years ago old, sgt. who used to tell us that if you can't find something to laugh at on this job everyday, you must be dead. There was an old timer in 009 who used to have a manequin, and whenever there was a new recruit on the watch, there was always a call of a attempted suicide or burglary in progress. When the recruit and the fto would arrive on scene the manequin would fall out the second story window of whatever building the call was at. The look on the fng's faces were priceless. Then there was the time in 021 when the desk crew found a live chicken in the "vault" where they stored all the reports. Watching a bunch of the girls on the desk trying to catch that things was pure comedy. This is something that we have lost the ability to do on this job. Times were tough back then too. But we still managed to have a good time, have a good laugh and still do our jobs. Maybe we need to get a little "old school" with ourselves and have a little good hearted, clean fun and laugh a little.
Hmmmmmm me wonders if the morning radio guy had anything to do with this? Just sayin.
Somewhere Horseshoe Bob smiles in a sinister manner while he eats candy.
WRT: "...$69 MILLION dollars cash from the welfare cash cards has been taken out OUTSIDE of the State of California! Nearly $2 million was withdrawn in Las Vegas casinos.."
=========================
Well in the case of money being spent in Vegas if there where to be any just reason at all you have to admit that your dollar goes much farther at any one of those Vegas buffets right?
On one hand $2 million dollars is a lot of money. On the other with $69 million in total being handed out that's a 3% abuse rate so lets not throw all the welfare people under the bus..I mean hell..look at what the investment bankers are getting away with. Trillions of dollars in taxpayers bailouts and not a single one being charge with the frauds they used to crash the global economy. You even have the president and congress standing up for it telling us all it was necessary. CEO's with seven figure compensation plans and double digit bonus increases make the $2 million in Cal. welfare abuse looks like chump change in comparison.
Capitol police have no sense of humor.
The onion.com website put up a story the other day and then sent breaking news alerts on twitter about US Congressman taking a bus load of students hostage with automatic weapons, threatening to kill them all if they did not receive $13 trillion dollars..
Less milk crates for the "dope boys" means they have to stand up and will tire more quickly. If they are tired they will go home. At least in theory that how it should work.
You would be drinking the Kool-Ade to0 if you where paid 260,000 a year to be Rahm's field hand.
The bear shown has been in and around the station for about a year.Last summer,a couple of P.O'S put the bear in the back seat of a unamed female P.O'S Tahoe on 2nd watch.The funny thing is she had noclue it was there.
That's Awesome!!!!!!!!!
Too bad nobody had a pic of the three turkeys sitting on the bench outside of 008!

Where did they get 79 crates from and that bear? What would really be fun, put the bear in the commander office in uniform with a picture. Anybody up for the challenge?
Who's G Macs girl ?
Friday and again no changes .
Rahm won't let G Mac do his job .
It's to late now for any exempts 55-59 to retire this year .
Maybe changes will be next Friday
worked in 011 years ago; they were uncrateful back then also!

"...Skip Dillard Urban Basketball Hoops..."
Thank you! Nothing like laughing your ass off & having Weller 107 going down the wrong pipe...
Who says Chicago Coppers aren't the funnest & funniest soldiers in God's Army?
Speaking of a blast from the past... None of those cats really made it out. Did they?
We had a couple of encounters with Bernard R. and heard about the others falling on hard times as well after the "Miracle On Belden" ran it's course.
We don't even recall any of those guys boning up and going back in earnest to finish...

The city got $54 million to split between state and county for security for the G8. I'm sure the right people got the money they wanted.
mc carthy article in the sun times he stated,we have 1,ooo detectives which is more than enough!NO DICKS PROMOTIONS ANYTIME SOON!!

ummmm, ok. go ahead then. good luck with your lawsuit and cr numbers because its gonna go nowhere
When the Supt ADMITS to being down 2,300 you know the # really is around 4,000. Instead of lying and saying, " we don't need them", he should be saying, " where is the money"? What a coward, no balls.
From the Sun-Times:
For example, McCarthy said there are currently about 1,000 detectives. He said he isn’t finished reviewing how many detectives the department needs, but added: “I would say we probably have too many.”
Holy fuck. I've been on this fucking job 9 years and I still haven't had the opportunity to take a promotional exam. At this rate I'll have one shot before retirement.
Hi-didn't know how to send this to you, thought it might be of interest.Its an email I got from them with an attached colorful flier. Not a cop but am wondering is this what CAPS does these days?
Thank you and stay safe.

I knew all those Fillmore milk crate missions would be worth something. Great job! Even the bosses were laughing... and that's a good thing.
I don't think we have seen the last of that bear though. Like a bad penny (pun intended), he keeps turning up... somewhere.
Can I get an event number please?
Ah yes, the racoon in the false ceiling of the Commander's office in Area 2, or the pig left in the roll call room in the 9th District.
Unfortunately times change.
OK this is a start.
We can do bigger, better and funnier!
A few ground rules, no injuries, no damage, nothing demeaning.
Let the games begin!!!
The bums in the POD room was waaaaaaayyyy funnier. Just my 2¢.
hey 1135 am...while i agree 100% (as Im KMA), the hair gel kids have ruined this job. a chicken in a desk or cabinet would be spun into a sexual harassment beef somehow. this job is on life support thanks to liberal society at large. Going home in one piece to my family, the 1st, 16th, 22nd & Duty Avail & Unif Allow are all that matters. RIP, CPD. It was nice knowing ya.
A few ground rules, no injuries, no damage, nothing demeaning.

"Still Having Fun"
The young, "know it all" boss driving his unmarked and wondering why people are honking and waving/pointing and why he hears funny noise under the car.
*pulls over, get's out, see's two legs sticking from under the rear bumper of the car*
O_o
... a stuffed pair of old jeans with some old shoes firmly attached to the legs to look like somebody was being dragged...
did he ever notice the shoes were on the "wrong feet"?
...Good Times! XD XD XD
THE SAD PART WAS THAT NO E.T. WAS ORDERED BECAUSE THE SCENE WAS CONTAMINATED.
LUCKILY AND STRANGELY D.N.A WAS RECOVERED FROM THE BEARS STOMACH AREA!
JUST ANOTHER SCENE ON THE WEST SIDE!
