Not today, but last night - my wife and I are in bed watching some news, when what comes on the screen but a picture of one of the supervisors I work
for. She was charged with embezzlement of 4000 dollars from some community club that she was working for. All day I was expecting an e-mail from our
manager that said she was let go. (She hasn't been there all week). Nothing yet.
Hi there.

That really sucks. Stealing from a non-profit earns you a trip to the same level of hell as child molesters. I hope she enjoys herself...

Of course we've experienced here recently that charged is not guilty and that people are innocent unless proven otherwise.

She admitted that she took the money to pay debts.

...At least she admitted it, but that's really low.

Not much happening here. We're very shocked by the events in Liege of course. It's a bit of a dull, grey, industrial city, with a nasty smell
lingering over it; but they do have three months of fun fair a year. Friends of mine took me there once, and it was very cosy; I got a lot of Primus
beer coasters and won a camel in the Camel Race.

Will this Liege affair be the yearly Christmas disaster? Or is another one coming up?

In Liege, Belgium, a madman aged 34, who had previously been convicted of owning a lot of cannabis and weapons, caused a rampage. He let 4
handgrenades explode at the christmas market and then started shooting around. It's not yet known whether he shot himself on purpose or by accident.
Currently there are 5 casualties: besides the killer, two teenagers, a 75-year-old lady, a toddler, and a 50-year-old caretaker of the man's
neighbors. She was found near his home.
Over a hundred people are injured. Five of them are still fighting for their life.

My supervisor was fired yesterday. I thought it was just inevitable.

Now the blame game is being played of course: justice didn't want him to get parole (Belgian prisons are overcrowded), but according to his
psychological tests there was little chance at recidivism.
I feel horrible for the toddler and his parents: they can't afford the lad's funeral.

I had a funny accident at Dweezil Zappa World the other day. There's a thread there that I started in May 2010 about the suggestion that Dweezil might
start playing his own music with ZPZ. I was a bit strident to start with but realised pretty quick that I basically don't give a toss. Even Trendy
piped up and tried to reeducate me. He is such a dick head. It seems to me, that given he puts so much effort into changing peoples minds, that he
should be pleased when someone actually changes their mind. But I wasn't even allowed to do that, hilarious. Not that I was actually agreeing with
him, of course, I was backing off, not morphing into a sycophant at the same time.
Also, Dweezil revealed himself in that thread as being a bit of an arse. He did exactly what Trendy does, reacted without reading all of my words,
jumped to the wrong conclusion and came off sounding a bit nasty and spiteful.
Anyway, the thread structure there is a pain, because every time a new page is started, the first post from the thread is redisplayed as the first
post on the new page. This led some stupid people who can't be bothered to check before they open their mouths to start going off at my original post
again as if I'd just said it. Finally, that second page settled down and since June 2010, nothing else has been said. Until last week that is, when
some twat comes along, a year and a half later and tells us to move on. Then others began to add their two cents worth as well.
Next, a third page appears, with my first post reprinted yet again at the top of that one. So I thought I'd see if I could delete the reprint ... and
guess what ... it deleted the entire thread!!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... (pause for breath) ... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... (calls ambulance) ... cough .... ha .... ha .... ha .... ha .... etc ...

Hey, Huck. Where have you been? How come it says your friendship is pending at Dweezil Zappa World? Not that I care about that place that much, but
it's not all bad. Dweezil's latest change to the appearance is crap. His header now covers up any custom headers. So the picture of my gibson on my
home page is almost totally obscured by his new header. So much for a personal home page. He's quite the egotist.

Our oven died on Tuesday, just in time for Christmas.
I called an appliance repair place. He said he couldn't look at it until the 29th. And the appliance store I called said they couldn't even deliver a
new one until after Christmas.
Anyone know how to barbecue a pie?
