Speaking of curbstomping...

[Frank_N_Stein]

"He put me in fear" is always a good line. "He put me in fear so I curbstomped him for my own safety".

Works for me.

Two things:

(1) You should get something like Dragon Naturally Speaking and just dictate the report while the curb-stomping is underway. It will save you time by multi-tasking and you will be less likely to forget details if you describe them while you're doing them.

(2) What if the potential curb stompee really deserves it or curb stomping a particular individual would be so satisfying that it's worth the additional paperwork? e.g. you pull rhino over, immediately realize "this one's got an attitude," and then you're pretty much required to curb stomp me on general principle.

1. That would be an interesting experiment. Probably going to be a lot of foul language in the transcript.

2. If it is satisfying, it is worth the paperwork.

"He put me in fear so I curbstomped him for his own safety"

FIFY

Lol!

You can use a program like InfoPath to set up your form with standard language built in. When you're set up, all it takes is a click here and there, choosing the appropriate standard language comment, and you're done.

Although I'd recommend getting into the habit of keeping your curb-stompings consistent (same number of stomps, same duration, etc.), so that you can minimize the number of different specific blocks of standard language.

That is really good advice. Thanks.

Is this extra paperwork a Hogsett thing?

I doubt it.

Sounds like someone needs a hug.

Only if it is a throat hug.

Will cease curbstomping for cookies!

well hell. I had the boy give you a cookie a few years ago. trying to butter you up for no curb stomping for when he grew up a bit more.
14 now, 6'2" and so far, not much trouble. But now you won't curb stomp him and the cookie wasn't necessary. damnit, all my well laid plans.

Curb stomping citizens is a dying skill.

Sorry! If he ever needs a curbstomping, I'll do it for a cookie...

I’m SURE someone on the interwebz offers report writing services? I’ll chip in for a monthly subscription just so your jackboot leather stays supple.

And seriously, who in their right mind wants stiff, creaky, uncomfortable jack boots?

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Uke?

As in martial arts, or anime?

Cause ewwww

Curbstomping has been replaced by the issuance of a stuffed animal. You could see it coming decades ago.

PGRChaplain, I had a shift commander (they were actually called Inspectors at the time) advise me to always carry a roll of quarters in my pocket. Better than sap gloves. I didn't have that much money.

Certainly not I, and I’d assume with his experience, FnS prefers supple leather to creaky? The noise gets annoying on a multiple stomp, it interferes with the joyous sound that curb stomping brings.

I know what happened in "A Clockwork Orange" when Alex was singing "Singing in the Rain"...and if Frank was talking about that....curb stomping means something more than I thought it did....and I can understand the extra paperwork.

No kidding...

An old Navy trick. Carry a roll of large coins rolled up in your neckerchief on liberty.

I think I could save one on my laptop. I haven't seen a word processor since my college days.

My use of the term "word processor" was along the lines of the software, such as MS Word, on your laptop or desktop computer. Not the somewhat ancient and archaic dedicated hardware machine. I'm surprised you are old enough to remember those!

Where can I send you a huge box of cookies with the names of some INGOers?
