Oops, I must have misread that post. I thought Specialist meant he was a Mass State Cop... I got it now.
I would make a joke about myself having Attention Deficit Disorder, but I wouldn't want to offend anyone with AD and get in trouble.
If I may weigh in on the Patrick situation here... my grandmother passed away 2 years ago from cancer. It was not breast cancer... but I watched a one of the greatest ladies in the world waste away to nothing in just a few short months. Just when I was really appreciating her experiences and just when she was getting to know her great granddaughter. It sucked and it will always upset me.
Patrick shows no class and says and does some idiotic things, but let's not overreact and get too dramatic. Make it clear that is not acceptable behavior here or anywhere, but we shouldn't get too crazy.
Now, I didn't see the picture and I have no idea why he would post it here... but I think everyone should loosen up a bit.
And Mindi, try to understand that its true, Patrick has less rope than most of us. That's because he has a history of putting his foot in his craw and offending people at bad times (i.e. during the terrorist attacks on 9/11). He has earned his short leader and has to live with it.
Chris L, let's get back to being serious for a second, you may not be a criminal, but you certainly are a social deviant!
Of course, that helps you fit in with the rest of us.
