	Messages 1 2  Tucson Citizen Police Academy Week Two by tucsonmike on 18 September 2008 1:48pm   Well I discovered I would make a lousy cop. I normally do not get carsick, but at high speed on a track, forget about it. The cops doing the driving course have way too much fun. A bunch of little kids, singing doo wah diddy diddy bum diddy bum through the loudspeakers, carrying into the desert night. One car ran the same snake over twice. I emailed a friend about this, who emailed me back (and you didn't pick it up? Rattlesnake stew is excellent, plus I need new shoes)! The Police have a simulator. I got to chase a bad guy, in the simulator, did better than most, but I lost him and took out three other vehicles. An amazing night. Have lots of respect for these guys.   Re: Tucson Citizen Police Academy Week Two by suzulu on 18 September 2008 2:48pm   Sounded like fun! Not sure about the rattlesnake, though!   Re: Tucson Citizen Police Academy Week Two by elina on 19 September 2008 6:35am   Poor snake!   Re: Tucson Citizen Police Academy Week Two by tucsonmike on 19 September 2008 1:47pm   Poor snake, my eye sweetheart it was a rattlesnake! LOL!   Re: Tucson Citizen Police Academy Week Two by kazzzz on 19 September 2008 3:11pm   Well I'm gonna stick my neck RIGHT out and say the only good snake is a dead snake. *ducks*   Re: Tucson Citizen Police Academy Week Two by elina on 19 September 2008 7:18pm   I'll make myself bit more clear: poor snake being run over twice! Hopefully it died after the first time, hate to think any kind of lifeform in agony and pain. I like snakes... as long as they stay away from me!   Re: Tucson Citizen Police Academy Week Two by peripatetically on 20 September 2008 1:18am   Dead snakes are good if they are in my space. Keep them in the dessert or jungles or forests, well away from little ol' me! Otherwise, a dead snake makes me happy.   Re: Tucson Citizen Police Academy Week Two by canaveralgumby on 20 September 2008 2:36am   CSI:Tuscon *** In our last episode: CSI: Tuscon crime lab technician: "Hey Grissom -- I mean, Tuscon, you're gonna want to see this..." [Silhouetted figure appears, blaring desert sun behind him, heat waves rising, until the solemn face of TusconMike becomes visible. He stops one step short of crime scene.] [crime lab tech holds up a clump of something in her long tweezers] crime lab tech: "It's another...furball." TusconMike: "He's toying with us." to be continued... *** CSI: Tuscon Act II [techno music plays as lab tech runs various tests on suspect furball. TusconMike enters, leans in doorway.] TusconMike: Got those results for me? lab tech: Yeah, Gris - I mean, Tuscon. Full spectrum analysis reveals an anomaly in the DNA. The suspect, it seems, is predisposed to... TusconMike: Yeah? Out with it, man! lab tech: ...well...it's so rare, it's uncanny. The condition known as Borderline Yerbicitis Neurosis. TusconMike: A YERBIE? [TusconMike rushes away from lab, speed-walks down the hall, hits a speed dial button on his cell, frantic. After a 3rd ring...] TusconMike: C'mon, COME ON, answer! [voice of Katherine over the line]: Willows here. Hey, Gris - I mean - Tuscon, you wouldn't believe what Sara and I found, it's... TusconMike: There's no time! Get out NOW. [Scene change to cellar of suburban desert home. Katherine inadvertently aims her blue light at Sara. Katherine is frozen and her eyes grow wide.] Sara: 'You smell that? What the... [cut to black screen, sound of tool kit smashing to floor] to be continued...   Re: Tucson Citizen Police Academy Week Two by tucsonmike on 20 September 2008 3:32am   LOL Cori! Here is the link for anyone who wants to look. http://tpdinternet.tucsonaz.gov/Organization/units/Citizens_Police_Academy.html Cori, may I post this on my blog?   Re: Tucson Citizen Police Academy Week Two by canaveralgumby on 20 September 2008 4:37am   Well, SURE, but it's not over yet! Forgive my ignorance, but have you posted a picture of the Magic Wonder Cat anywhere?   Messages 1 2
