THE JOE FRIDAY THREAD of TRUTH!

[Hardrock69]

God bless Jack Webb.

While his monotone delivery and a walk that made him appear to have something large and uncomfortable crammed up his butt sidewaze which made him a subject of some ridicule, once in awhile some of his speechifying was second to none!

This is one of the greatest speeches he ever made as Joe Friday.

BigBadBrian? All you other fascists? Kneel down right now, listen to your God, and start fapping.
I don't need to say anything further....just let The Man do the talkin':

That's Troy from Galactica 1980!!

We were working the day watch out of Roth Army.

My partner is Bill Gannon.

My name's Friday.

At 1619 hours we observe a suspect walking down the street, playing with a small metal tablet.

We then identify ourselves as police officers, and ask him if he would please answer some questions.

He is cooperative, though he is in a hurry. He says he has a "hot date with some hydro and is jonesing."

He then remarks how much Bill and I resemble a couple of guys from an old TV cop show.

I reply that it is just a coincidence.

Sgt. Gannon replies: "There are millions of cops who look just like us."

The Dragnet Fan then shows us a photo on a the screen of a small electronic device of two guys who look like Bill and I leaning on a file cabinet.

We leave the Dragnet Fan to go date his girl "Hydro", and head to the nearest donut shop.

While drinking our coffee, we begin to note the strange stares from some of the other patrons.

http://i62.tinypic.com/9fqhya.jpg

Bill remarks how strange the past few days have been.

"It all began when we ran across that TV producer a few days back. Remember how scared he was when he saw us at the movie studio? He kept mumbling "This can't be happening..." over and over again.
That entire day, and ever since, people have been staring at us, talking about us...saying things like 'They sure look like them' and 'He's got the walk down pat!'.

I don't know about you, but if things get any crazier, I will have to think about retirement!"


We were suddenly interrupted by a young woman who asked us for our autographs. I had to state that we are not allowed by LAPD regulations to give or receive gifts to anyone while on duty and in performance of our duties.

The young woman laughs, and says "Oh, it's ok...wait 'til my psychotherapist hears about this!" and walks off.

We then decide to leave and go interview a woman who has reported a 6969......"unauthorized use of a sleazy babe movie from the 1950s in a cheap motel with no television".

Dispatch calls us on the radio as we run out of the donut shop to our car.

A crowd has gathered outside the shop, and are staring at us, which impedes our progress.

As we leave, the crowd cheers at us and seem very enthusiastic about our departure.

http://i57.tinypic.com/2mc7sza.png
We are told by dispatch to cancel the interview with the woman who reported the 6969. The woman called back and told dispatch that she had received authorization to use the sleazy girl movie from the 1950s in a cheap motel with no television, whereupon the Division watch commander decided the report did not merit further investigation.

We drive down Hollywood Boulevard, Bill reminds me of something I had noticed the day earlier: "And look at all these strange looking cars, Joe.I always considered myself a car guy, and I am seeing things I did not know existed!

I saw a little car driving down La Cienega that had Dodge Charger on the side. It wasn't a Charger. Somebody playing a cruel prank or something....."

I ask Bill if he has noticed an increase in unidentifiable vehicles over just the past few days.

"Yes.....hey Joe....it began happening after we met that TV producer. You don't suppose this has something to do with what has been going on these past few days, do you?"

I replied that there was only one way to find out. We stopped at the magazine stand at Ventura and Laurel Canyon, Laurel Canyon News.|

Tony had been there for years. Today he was still there, but for some reason looked incredibly old.

I asked him for today's newspaper. He handed me one, and I gave him a dime. He then told me he would let it slide...this time, but pay him the rest sometime later.

I was about to ask him what he meant, when I noticed the date on the front page of the Times......December 3, 2014.

And the price?

One dollar.

Then Tony says "I remember you, Joe. You disappeared after the early 70s. What the hell happened to you? Bill kept on as long as he could, but retired back in the 90s.

Wait a minute.....Joe is that Bill in the car? This can't be happenin'!!!!!

Joe, you go ahead and keep the paper. It's a freebie....on the house....I gotta go help this other customer now......."

I showed Bill the newspaper. We went over and asked Tony what the date was, and he replied with the same date as on the copy of the LA Times.

We then realized, the key to this whole incident was to find that TV producer.

The date we met him was July 14, 1970.

But at some point....on that day, we had been transported into the future.


44 years into the future.

We decided to head back to the precinct.


*Que theme music*
The story you are about to hear is true.
The names were changed to protect the innocent......

I've spoken my piece on Jack Webb and how much of a Nazi cocksucker he truly was. Jack Webb was the prototype and archetype figurehead of what to took to get America used to living in a police state that is has now become. What's scary about Webb is how much that mono-tongued asshole did look like Richard Nixon only with less cheek and face F A T.

Dude was gayer than a rainbow doormat at Richard Simmons house. No doubt whatsoever him and his "partner" Bill Gagonit (aka. Harry (as in bear) Morgan) made numerous bedroom eyes at each other both on and off camera. The fuck with this show and all the pseudo-intellectual/apolitical diatribe monologues Webb spew from the corners of his strange lack of an upper lip mouth. The guy hated social individualism and women. And those are the god damn FACTS!

I only ever saw the movie which was fun at the time.

Worth seeing a few episodes. Easy to find on Hulu or youtube or other places. The years most people remember were from the mid-60s to the early 70s, though the first TV show ran in the early 50s, also starring Jack Webb.
