As Bushie's World Turns (The Update Thread)

[AndrewTX]

No.

Here is an easier get rich scheme. Take your "$2,000" and start a panzi business out there in Kenya. At the very least, sell them some playground equipment.

[AndrewTX]

This sounds almost like when NY Jews go to Miami to convert people. Except nicer, and less expensive.

[AndrewTX]

Get the permanent status first, then ask for time off.....

[AndrewTX]

STOP.DRINKING.SODA.

Just switch to water. The only time I was drinking soda was when I mixed it with booze, but now I just drink whiskey and water.

[AndrewTX]

So, when is the next engagement?

[AndrewTX]

Lime Jello Salad

Please tell me that Snowguy's gelatin and mayonnaise recipes aren't contagious.

No, it has nothing in common except the gelatin.  She puts Lime Jello mixed with almonds mixed with just a little bit of grated cheddar cheese.  It is delicious!

Wow, that sounds repulsive. Although anything in Jello beside vodka makes me vaguely nauseous.  Is this a middle America thing?  I know Jello became popular by giving away free recipe books, but I thought that was like a 50's thing. Didnt really think anyone actually ate that stuff.

Little pieces of fruit would be ok, but cheese??? In JELLO? Yikes!

This.

[AndrewTX]

How are you getting time off work for this again?

He's still doing the Dell work as a temp.

We are still waiting to see if he gets hired full time. I bet you it's going to be a season ending cliff hanger.

[AndrewTX]

Spreading Christianity to uncultured peoples.  Surprised this still goes on.  A trip to Viking Resort in the Dominican Republic would be so much more worth your while Bushie.  Just tell everyone you're going to Africa for "missionary work" then use the money to have a good time!

Too late! I've already got $1600 plane tickets to Kenya!! ($1200 ticket + $400 Travel Agent fees)

Cereal?

[AndrewTX]

I think African Christians would rather have money, but eh.

[AndrewTX]

Thats a stretch? I currently work 9 hours a day, and take a half hour lunch when I manage to find the time to grab something. Before I got this job, I'd work 13 hour days, and the only break I'd get is driving between them. You just get used to it and take what you can.

[AndrewTX]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the 400 bucks is just what the travel agent charged to do the leg work. Joe is right though, it wouldnt be a Bushie kidn of thing without it. I've got to admit, I was a little upset at the start of this season. I thought we were going to start discussing more about a possible Susan reunion, or something good like that. But luckfully, the writers really knew how to get us back in.

 Bravo writers, bravo.

[AndrewTX]

I pack the night before I leave. ALWAYS. I packed the night before I moved to PA.

[AndrewTX]

My breaks and lunch schedule will look like this...

13:45-14:00    Break
15:30-16:30    Lunch
18:30-18:45    Break

This means no "block" more than 2 hours 15 minutes and that just at the very end of the day.  I believe I can handle it.

I tend to work 9 hours.. straight. No breaks. If you can't handle it, than you can turn your penis in and we'll go ahead and get you fitted for a nice magina.

Let the infractions begin.

[AndrewTX]

Either way, it's looking like my Kenya trip will be unpaid leave, which is unnerving, but my God has called me to go, and i have faith that He will provide.  I've got contingency plans and backup funds available and ready to activate in March for my bills.  So, I'm not worried.

Sure it's formulaic, and we've seen it a hundred times before, but the writers are returning to a tried and true trope that's entertained the audience in the past. Maybe by putting it in the Africa setting, they'll breathe some new life into the well-worn formula.

This reminds me of when John Carter went to Afrika on E.R.  It was good, but made you appreciate Chicago. I hope this is kind of like that. The writers are up to somethign here.

[AndrewTX]

Here is what my diet consisted of today:

2 Bowls Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast
2 Ham Sandwiches for lunch
2 Hot Dogs for supper

I am already on track to lose even more weight by tomorrow morning.

That's a diet?

Yeah.. that sounds like the complete opposite. Maybe you have a worm

[AndrewTX]

OOOHHHHH something good is on the horizon!

[AndrewTX]

I'm hoping Bushie has something to come back to when he returns from Kenya.

See, I think this is a part of the mid season sweeps. Gearing up for a new adventure past Kenya.

[AndrewTX]

We shall see. The writers have something for us. This season has started to get stale.

[AndrewTX]

God has a plan for BuskOK, gramps. This Kenya trip is just part of it. He wouldn't have called him to go if it meant he would lose his job and become destitute once again.

Sometimes I feel like this comes out of the Book of Job. But alas, I'll leave the brilliance to the writers.

[AndrewTX]

If I end up re-locating my office to Pittsburgh, I'm going to be in charge, and have to hire about 8 new people... I think I might just offer Bushie a job.

[AndrewTX]

Please don't ever listen to advice your family gives you. We've seen this script before.

Truer words have never been spoken.

[AndrewTX]

Eh, if I remember correctly, didn't his parents also tell him that it was a smart move to leave the gas company for that insurance one.

[AndrewTX]

Wow, this might get real good soon.

[AndrewTX]

Oh gurl, I can't wait until next weeks episode now!

[AndrewTX]

I'm debating taking tomorrow off just in anticipation!
