ID Badge Creed (With Apologies to Riflemen Everywhere)

This is my badge. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my badge is useless. Without my badge, I am useless. I must use my badge properly. My badge and I know that what counts in a badge audit is not our intentions, apologies, or the excuses we make. We know that it is the beeps that count. We will make it beep.

My badge is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories. I will keep my badge clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other.

Before my co-workers I swear this creed.

The Funnest Thing I've Seen In A LONG Time

Immaturity...Thy Name is Steve

So there I am looking at maps and dreaming dreams, when my eye catches a certain geographical feature: "Blue Butte". Heh heh. Of course I couldn't just let it go at that, I had to hunt down others:

Bald Butte
Bachelor Butte
Desolation Butte
Lookout Butte
Beatys Butte
Farmer Butte
Pigeon Butte
Butler Butte
Black Butte
Burn Butte

and probably the best named one ever: Winkle Butte! Ah...it's the simple things in life.

The Gauntlet Has Been Thrown Down!

Fine...here's a few turkey songs for you:

"T" is for turkey, that's good enough for me.
Oh, turkey, turkey, turkey starts with "T".


(to the tune of Oh, Clementine)
Oh my turkey,
Oh my turkey,
Oh my turkey on my plate!
It is sitting there
Beside my taters
Oh my tukey on my plate!


There once was a turkey named Phil,
Who I took out back to kill.
He said, "You're a putz,
I'm far from prime cuts.
So just take me back inside and chill."


Hey diddle, diddle
The turkey has a fiddle
And he played such a lively ol' tune.
My inlaws are wierd
I just shaved my beard
So stop taunting me about not being able to come up with a turkey song and just go make one up yourselves! :P
