Ghool Pool

From a couple years back (click for larger printable version):

Gather your players, collect toothpicks, number cards, one thru twenty-two, draw, and wait.

You can shade in three squares to reflect the decreased number of districts, or for more fun, get 25 players and when you draw the Districts, add three VOID cards and you have three instant losing spaces.

For more fun, you can make a smaller grid and conduct a "Homicide By Beat" contest within your own single District. If you work in 020 though, you'd be due a refund at the end of the year.

I’m gonna pick 020. Dark horse choice, but they’re due. Stay safe out there Tuesday night, people. And to think, Y2K was 20 years ago. WTF.

And yet, since pookie isn't afraid to get stopped or challenged anywhere in the city, or highway, or suburbs, it isn't out of the realm of possibilities that 020 wins the first 0110 of the year. Go figure.... CCW you are the change! Front sight....Front sight.... Front sight....

If the reader wishes to play odds based on 2019 murders, the odds are as follows for districts with the highest number of murders.

011:......6 to 1 against winning.
006:...10 to 1 against winning
007:....10 to 1 against winning
015:....11 to 1 against winning

COMBINATIONS: (Four highest districts 011, 006. 007 and 015)...3 to 2 against winning
(Five highest districts 011, 006, 007, 015 and 010)...Even Odds

Use toothpicks.

In the 2nd - A/4, Kedzie and Harrison mid-1980. Won $1,500.00 by districts. I think I had 010.

The beat I wanted was gone, an old-timer dick ready to pull the pin had the beat and walk with 25 K. The mentor of many, John N played and always hit some change back when.

Maxwell street A/4 had some serious big ass payouts in 1970'.

The mind is slipping a bit, but the cash flow on pools of every kind was too fuckin funny to believe. Old Fred Rice was a boss at old A/4, he saved many white coppers jobs. He bet tall and could not catch a cold naked in the artic. The winners always took care of him for holding the poke.

Leroy Martin was a real slug everywhere he went. Hated everybody.

Coppers used to bet who can shot the most rats in the alley by the old Southwater market in a minute, only gat allowed was a snub. The guys got some recruit to count the dead one after every shooter and bag them from the ground. Today's new breed police would shit a brick even seeing the cat-sized sewer rats.

A million stories from the Westside "Naked City." This was just one of them. The old NYPD did the same shit but they had more rats in that now shit hole.

May God Almighty bless the nearly extinct great coppers of old, and may the good Lord give them eternal rest and peace. Amen-Amen.

Thank you sir SCC for keeping us near dead coppers sane. Your a blessing for years now.

OT: The legalization of marijuana here is going to be a shit show. Yes, I believe weed is a gateway drug to cocaine and heroin. Ask the down and out heroin addicts and they will mostly agree. Of course, alcohol is a gateway drug also that pot heads love to point out. How to you 501 a guy who has been smoking weed for the past 8 hrs and is stoned as a kite? What is the THC level threshold? Does anyone even care? Just more money for this miserable State.

All well and good to blow off steam, but consider not
what Beck says, but what he does (i.e. banking). Charlie Beck
makes sure he pays himself first, and so should you. Pay
yourself first, not the man. Consider this quote:

Kevin Graham is already a causality!!!

Mark Donahue (I endorse Rahm!) backed Kevin in the last election and then the runoff. Mark’s reward was being hired as a part-time lobbyist at $75K a year. After a year they game paid him social security and medicare and expenses. Recently Mark got a 3% raise. That’s on top of $700 a month! After the raise went thru Mark dropped support for Kevin and how is Martin Preib’s boss. Mark knows Kevin will NEVER be reelected. So if you see chalky on the sidewalk in front of FOP that’s Kevin’s outline after being stabbed in the back by Donahue (I endorse Rahm!), Bartlett, and Aguilar all who are making a lot of money for not being elected to an upstairs office.

Counterfactual Thinking....
There's a short piece on NPR about this.
"Rewinding & Replaying" the past, or that sort of thing.
You know, "What If" type thinking.
Eddie Johnson is engaged in that stuff right now, as if what
would have happened if I had not gone out drinking that
Wednesday night at Cere's?
Answer: Your life would have remained the "same" for the
next 24 hours, but considering your lifestyle, it would only be
a matter of time before you screwed up big time and got
yourself hospitalized or killed.
And such it is with us. We have to accept that this happened,
Beck is "in charge" for now, and we will see yet another "new"
Superintendent in 2020.
Unless you are a corrupted merit, why worry about the future?
Be proactive. Provide for yourself and your family so you will
have grain in your storehouse for the lean years, just like The
Bible says.
Amen.

If you ever read an order you would know. But since you are too stupid or lazy to do that here is the answer:
First, if your W/C is easy going, a counseling form. If not a SPAR with a reprimand. Next another SPAR with 1-3 days. Do it again and maybe you get lucky and another SPAR, 2-3 days. After that, a CR. Now, you sound like a smart ass know it all. So the first time will probably be a SPAR but if you open your moth like I guess you will, straight to a CR. So go for it big guy. Report back how it works out for. You can let us know on one of the days that you are not getting paid for.
