Let me just preface and say that the Santa shooting is very tragic, and again the asshole did the killings in the wrong order. Victim number one should have been him.
But I’m very glad to say that the murderer wasn’t described by his neighbors as “quiet” or “shy” (some social definition of murderers these days).
Thank Og, it wasn’t one of us “quiet” people that did it like usual.
I wonder if that isn’t a false trope. I don’t speak to my idiot neighbors, but around friends I am very outgoing. If I were to go postal, I am sure they would all describe me as the quiet type. No, moron, I just don’t have much to say to YOU.
I smell an experiment! Rifle’s in the mail…
LOL. Yes, I am one of the “usual suspects.” Single middle-aged male who neighbors would say is nice, but kinda quiet and keeps to himself.
Whenever there is a missing person the cops just know to show up and check my freezer… 
I just don’t consider neighbors as a social outlet. In situations that I do consider to be social, I am outgoing though.
We are ‘those wierdos’ in our little slice o heaven…
We never holiday decorate, there is never any fancy gardening going on for a number of years we just penned the sheep i the yard to do the mowing] and they rarely ever see me leaving the house … and there is always the same ‘look’ to the house day or night, winter summer, cars in the drive or not. We never open the blinds… =)
Look, I have NOTHING in common with them other than a zip code and area code. I dont see why I need to chat with people more interested in gossiping about somone elses teen age preggers kids, or what happened in faggoting around with the stars in whatever entertainment form the network programmers want to shove down peoples throats. I dont have kids, never will pop a sprog out of my coochie, dont care if you have popped a sprog out of YOUR cootchie and I really dont care to discuss the sex lives of people I will never sleep with,
Now if you want to discuss the newest discoveries in the human genome as they pertain to wiping out birth defects, Im on it. If you want to discuss how the weather patterns drove migration of early european tribal groups and influencing exposure to different art forms, works for me, I got books we can look at…
Hell, if you want to discuss ways of working with the sheeps wool in making clothing, Id love to learn a new technique as long as it isnt knitting, I cant seem to wrap my mind around knitting=)
Hey! Would you shut up with all that sighing, please? Some of us are trying to think in here!
We don’t need no stinkin thinkin…
