As Bushie's World Turns (The Update Thread)

[King]

If you can bring water in two pots to a boil (one for your choice of pasta, rice, or a potato; one for some 99 cent frozen veggie pack), preheat an oven to 375 degrees (for fresh chicken, beef, fish, whatever choice), and shake a seasoning shaker for five seconds, you can cook a complete square meal.  It's not gourmet, but neither is Wendy's.

Thanks for this thread, Bushie.  I hate fast food for lunch and dinner today, but these posts have reminded me how easy it is to cook for myself.

Bushie is going to marry a Mormon girl and convert.  I can feel it.

I was jamming the Book of Mormon cast album today and thinking of you, Jeff.  It's too bad Sal Tlay Ka Siti isn't working out, but it's probably for the best.  I have no doubt that deep inside you are still Africa.

Dude you cannot trust jamespol......

Why not? Just because he was a forum troll, does not mean he is a troll in real life.  He actually has stable employment in Park City, UT just east of SLC.  You cannot judge the man.

That said, this next Utah possibility has nothing to do with James.

His trolling is just the latter stages.  I think he revealed enough about himself early on to show that he's too unstable to trust.

Is this a job with an actual Aetna office in Layton?

The plot... thickens

When does it ever thin?

I don't know guys, just a search for Aetna Salt Lake City reveals some jobs with company in the Salt Lake City area and plenty of them involve web development.  Maybe Bushie isn't lying this time.

Either way, I won't be surprised.  Hopefully the writers have a better twist coming.

For that to be true, you're believing that SLC job is real, and he intended to tell us about that.  Instead, he told us about the job, but accidentally described it as in the city of anothe job he so far hasn't mentioned once (coming from someone who shares almost everything he does with the forum), but that doesn't matter because the SLC job is a guarantee, so we don't have to worry about the othe job.

Does that sound reasonable?  No.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Bushie considers finding the willpower to fill out an application as being on the verge of getting hired.

I would hope that that is the case.  Either that or my take that he is Keyser Soze, mastermind extraordinaire.  We all think he is the hapless Verbal Kint but it is he that is laughing at us poor fools.

Then shouldn't we, the viewers, be aware of this already? Even if everything we see seems to point the other way; for this entire thing would all be about the experience of reading an internet forum.

That is actually the good part of this thread for me.  I can't take any joy in the rather mundane misfortunes of this fellow. He needs help and guidance that this forum cannot provide- absolutely nothing wrong there either... What I do find interesting is how the thread kinda holds up the proverbial mirror.  The reactions, advice etc are telling and quite indicative of where the viewer is at the moment. For instance, here I am giving Bushie advice on weight like I'm some sort of fitness guru or something. While I have managed to just lose a tremendous amount of weight, I'm probably replying to threads mostly to reinforce myself, and with some well-intentioned advice to a stranger (Bushie) sprinkled in.  Maybe that makes some sense, maybe I'm just full of hot air...

It's true. Bushie's inability to cook even the simplest foods has really inspired my own cookery.

It's been 18 hours since you told us how many hours you have left.  What's the current count?

Don't you guys ever visit the polling boards? Never trust numbers with decimal points.
