I was taking a two week vacation after that last Festivus endurance trial but I had to come in to the office to do a little housekeeping so while I'm here, let's get to that whack-job that ruined Christmas.
When I first heard about this, the only thought I had was "who does that?" "Who dresses up as Santa Claus and shoots an 8 year old girl in the face?" I mean by all accounts, this guy seemed like a perfectly normal guy despite looking like a healthier Charlie Weiss. You figure that something really bad must have happened to him and then all you get is that he got divorced and lost his job? That's it? I mean, isn't this what they make Jack Daniels for...so you don't have to dress up like Santa Claus, ring doorbells, shoot 8 year old girls in the face with semi-automatics, and light everyone else you know on fire? More importantly, does anyone smell an ad campaign here?
Every time something like this happens, it scares the living fuck out of me because it reminds me that there are people around me that probably have that inside them. While I'm sure we all have a certain amount of rage that can be triggered at any given time, there are those select few who are capable of some truly depraved shit and it's assholes like this that remind us that we have to be skeptical of anyone to a certain degree. More than likely, it's Jim from accounts payable but it could be anyone. Just sayin'.
On an unrelated note, I spent the weekend in Boston and of course I can't go to Boston and leave without grievances so jump with me, will you?
