Update Season VIII - "Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!"

[WalterMitty]

what exactly will bushie be eating?

[WalterMitty]

i will give bushie the benefit of the doubt.  i dont think he means anything bad when he says he enjoys loving on kids.

but

surely he can understand how some of us might be a little weirded out by his use of the phrase.  also his enjoyment of children's birthday parties is a little odd.  but i chalk that up to him being a big kid himself.

[WalterMitty]

question for bushie:  is the phrase 'loving on kids' used widely in your church?

[WalterMitty]

bushie do you plan on getting blondie 'fixed'?  or do you leave such matters up to god?

[WalterMitty]

the atlas is rather boring without bushie around.

but i do look forward to his return and his telling us that he is an african american and that he cant wait to be with 'his babies.'

[WalterMitty]

yes, i think the cad dream has died.

[WalterMitty]

i fear that the dog will be forgotten also when he returns home to 'focus on kenya'

[WalterMitty]

It's nice he's buying them things and all, but again, he's making it about him and creating "daddy moments" more than anything.

"Proud to be a daddy" is what he says on his FB. 

Didn't he previously say he was going to stop calling himself their daddy because he'd accepted that he couldn't adopt them, at least without a wife?

Yeah, like I said earlier, these poor kids are going to be so confused when they actually grow up and can think on their own as to why some white guy who sent them $30 a month is calling him their father.

Bushie needs to get to work finding a wife if he really loves these kids. It should be hit top priority when he gets home!

There is probably some different well meaning Yank every other week.

good point.  these kids probably have many daddies.

[WalterMitty]

this whole thing does sound fishy.

unfortunately these kids may be being used as pawns in some scam.

[WalterMitty]

Guys it's becoming pretty obvious that this whole orphanage deal is just a scam to get money from religious, naive, and aimless white people. They let Bushie come visit every two years or so, let him fulfill his daddy fantasies for a few weeks (while having him do unpaid labor), and then suck him dry with $70 a month until his next visit, all the while promising that he'll be able to move there full time "when the orphanage is ready", which will obviously be never. Meanwhile, I'm sure most of the money goes to the people in charge, who live in luxury while his "children" don't have shoes.

this sounds correct.

[WalterMitty]

Actually as noted, Bushie is not their sponsor father, but sponsor nephew. I wonder if they know this?

i doubt the sponsees know anything like that.  they are likely pawns in the game.  they obviously arent getting the money if they didnt even have shoes.

[WalterMitty]

poor blondie.

[WalterMitty]

i take this as confirmation that cad is dead as well.

hopefully blondie is doing okay in the oppressive heat.

[WalterMitty]

Last year after the kenya trip bushie would only accept advice from the 'bathed in prayer'

I expect his postings to become even more bizarre.

[WalterMitty]

RIP CAD.

RIP Blondie

it was 98 in okc yesterday.  poor blondie.

[WalterMitty]

There is no possible way anybody can be that stupid to not how to tell if a puppy has a ween or not, or emotionally repressed to not want to even check. 

This is true. But after all we've been through on the Update, I can suspend disbelief. It's far from the most difficult thing in this saga to believe.

it is clear that the bushie clan is ill prepared for the burdens of dog ownership.

[WalterMitty]

i find roughage to be a waste of a food.  it goes right through me.  my body does not digest lettuce.  is that not a common problem?

[WalterMitty]

Do these parties involve loving on kids?

[WalterMitty]

is it the fundamentalist religion that makes the bushie clan embarrassed to check the sex of the dog?

[WalterMitty]

and bushie...whatever sex jj is...please get it fixed!  no f'ing excuse not to.

and you never answered my question...does jj stand for jeff jr?

[WalterMitty]

Jeff is one of the most cruel and heartless guys I've ever come across. This whole thing with this dog is just heartbreaking. She's going to be dead in a few months, and the saddest part is, Jeff won't care at all. He loves himself far too much to care about anyone else.

He will see the dog's death as god punishing him for not focusing on kenya.

[WalterMitty]

the more immediate danger is jj getting hit by a car. 

bushie had a cat once.  i guess he lost interest.

[WalterMitty]

Did Bushie already explain why he couldn't do any of the household things like getting the dog collar, food, or house or anything on his own? Why does his dad constantly have to do anything and everything outside of the house?

Something called money.  I have no job as of yet, so therefore I have no money.  Dad has the money and works nearby the pet store, so he can just go at lunch and get the collar.  The food I can go to Dollar General or Walmart and pick up.  With the dog house, it would only fit in his SUV, not in my small Sentra, so not only did he have the money, but he had the room to transport it.

im not going to bust you for not having money.  i know the feeling.

but you are constantly eating at mcdonalds, where do you get the money for that?

[WalterMitty]

bushie you should definitely take the interview seriously and dress nice and all of that.

however most retail interviews center around one question:  availability!  dont talk yourself out of a job by demanding every sunday off.

[WalterMitty]

getting an interview with a retail pretty much means you have the job...unless you really screw up the interview.  the best way to screw up the interview is say your availability is limited.
