Stoner Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 Huckleberry is our buddy in Brussels who works in the cargo area at the airport that was attacked today. He hasn't signed in here since Sunday. Our thoughts are with him, his airport, his country and everyone affected. Let us know you're OK when you get a chance! Quote
dudacek Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 Please tell us you are getting some rest for tonight's baby -eating Quote
That Aud Smell Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks for the memory (on how our man was/is) and initiative to start the thread, PA. Give us a good word, Huckleberry. Quote
thewookie1 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 I hope he's alright, in theory he should be ok based on his job. Quote
Huckleberry Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) hah thanks guys, I'm good :D Airport is closed for now, cargo side slowly opening up again so probably going to work tonight. No one from my town got hurt surprisingly seeing how many work at the airport. Knew this was bound to happen soon. From the moment the lawyer from the Paris terrorist we caught told media his client would start talking. My Immediate thought was, well now his buddies will speed things up :( Edited March 22, 2016 by Huckleberry Quote

Maybe this goes back in the "politics of terrorism" thread, but can you explain a bit what the above means? Quote

That Aud Smell Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 A bit off topic, but what was with the "Gwar has toned down" joke? I got it. Sort of. But I sensed I was missing it. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 Glad you're okay. As an aside, I had no idea you lived in Brussels. Quote
MattPie Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 A bit off topic, but what was with the "Gwar has toned down" joke? I got it. Sort of. But I sensed I was missing it. Huckleberry, glad to hear you're OK. Joke: unless there's been a string in addition to what I wrote, it's just a joke. For some reason, all the puppets made me think of GWAR, and the idea that GWAR would become some sort of family-friendly act made me chuckle. You know what they say when you have to explain a joke... :) Quote

MattPie Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 Oh, Cheesus Crisps. I just Google imaged those dudes. I hadn't realized what their shtick was. Hahaha, that would explain it. (and to clear up: if I have to explain the joke, it wasn't funny to start with. :) ) Quote
That Aud Smell Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 Hahaha, that would explain it. (and to clear up: if I have to explain the joke, it wasn't funny to start with. :) ) No, no. The joke was funny. It was. You just needed the right foundation for it. Quote
Huckleberry Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Glad to hear you're well. Maybe this goes back in the "politics of terrorism" thread, but can you explain a bit what the above means? Well the last terrorist from Paris was caught a couple of days ago. His lawyer who is a bit of an attention ###### when it comes to media started saying his client wanted to share info about IS in Europe. This probably triggered them into bombing faster than they normally would have , also leaving our security forces with no way to respond in time. Mind you though, this is just my opinion on this, not the opinion stated by anyone in the media or our government. Actually told my friends yesterday that I was expecting something to happen this week already :( Oh well seems the entire airport is on lock down until tomorrow morning, so don't have to go to work tonight. On top of that I learned one of our supervisors, died yesterday from a heart attack. This is going to be one hell of a complaint thursday thread next time :( Edited March 22, 2016 by Huckleberry Quote

LTS Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Good to know you are safe. I'll say this. I was watching CNN in the hotel yesterday morning and they were highlighting the people exciting the subway area and how calm they were and pointing to at least one lady who appeared to be helping keep everything orderly. For me that was an amazing sight and a testament to the people. Quote
