Rayder, that was probably the funniest thing written on this tired and sometimes bitter thread!

Rick, you are very kind and I tip my hat to you Sir for some very lively and thought provoking albeit somewhat heated, exchanges (equally shared).

Despite what began as an ugly confrontation days ago Rick, I would like to think that I am better off for having these brief exchanges with you. I feel the same about some of the others here who have made contributions with the exception of a few who have offered only the obvious attempts at hypothetical one-liners and barbs. Those few being mere sophomoric scribble and nothing more.

Peace to you Rick, long ashes and many, many an unpluggled cigar.

I'm having a Perdomo square Maduro tonight and placing this thread to rest.

One last bit of humor...I think this one came from George Carlin.

Roses are Red
Violets are Bluish
If it wasn't for Christmas
We'd all be Jewish

HOLYSMOKES!

I think we're all in need of a good smoke now!!!!

"Religion is man made, Spirituality is God given"
But then again, that could be the start of a new thread and it looks like this one has run its course. I'd like to think we're all just a bit better for it.

always it's the women that says enough. just because you are finished, doesn't mean we are. have a certain rachmones for the men.

Whats the magic number 50 or 100 posts?

I'll stay out of your theological discussion. I just wanted to comment on Rick the Maven's comment: "...incidently, i don't believe in sin."

Rick, On another thread, I saw a line-up of smokes you recently acquired. That you'd feel the need to punish yourself with such dreck, that's a sin!

Oh, I don't know Steve...almost seems like a fitting penance to me?...LOL

Hey Finch!...You were a deputy in Lake County?..Very cool!...I'm a copper in a town that borders LC (our north border in fact)
Got a couple of friends in the LC sheriff's office

Was there last in 1993, and then applied for Mundelein PD before finally ending up where I am now with the DOJ. And wouldn't you know it, Mundelein called after I had started with DOJ and had moved my family and everything. Oh well, life decisions.

Small world I suppose.
