I often feel like Bushie is leaving out some key details from his Updates. In fact, I believe he has left out some things in the past but I can't recall the details. I'm sure the diehard fans will know. If you can think of any thing being left out please post an example.

If you feel it's a number in between two percentages, choose the two numbers. Example: 75% would select 70% and 80%

Don't take this thread the wrong way. I don't think he have any right or business to know what he doesn't want us to but given the numerous threads and his desire to keep us "updated" I'm curious as to what every one thinks.

70%  Less if we didn't pry stuff out of him.

You can sometimes pick up on a few extra details via his facebook. Although, he clearly leaves a lot of stuff out even on there. In fact, sometimes he'll post the same "update" on there word for word that he posts on here.

I think we're usually getting only about half of the story.

I'd say no more than 40%, and a distorted 40% at that.

I've just started reading his stuff and, while addicting, I'm calling bullsh*t. No one's life is that ed up...

A lot of times I will just copy and paste from one to the other.

I'd estimate about 35%.

I know he hides parts of things from us. Sometimes we have to push him to reveal details. That said, I don't expect he hides much from us. Probably 30-35% as Inks said.

I voted 50%, but it's unclear. I just know it's not anywhere near the whole thing (remember his first attempted move to Utah?)

I'd say about 40% of his own volition, but we get about 70% due to the forum's collection of excellent Internet detectives and Bushie's subsequent admissions.

This sounds about right.

This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents are either the product of the author's imagination, or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business establishments, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.

The poll isn't how much he hides but how much he actually tells.

Trying to piece together an objective truth from an unreliable narrator is a fool's errand. All we have from his universe is what he chooses to present. And that adds a critical level of depth to the narrative because you can determine things about the narrator as well. Omniscient storytelling is so much less interesting.

I said about 60% - but often lies about the hows and the whys.

Still, tonight was the best episode in a LONG time. It also gets me somewhat excited for future episodes.

I don't know. He's been hesitant to give details on the shed fiasco. This might be a one off.

Some of the (hilarious) details are on facebook. The fact that he's moving back Oklahoma is what really gives me hope for the future though. Most of the the episodes since he moved to Utah have been pretty boring.
