May I ask why stop on page 29 on the "Update of you in-house Reverand" Xahar? It goes on for quit away after that. I didn't tune in for the earlier seasons so I don't want to miss anything good.

If you look further down, you have to read the new job thread and part of the lost update before continuing. It's a great thread, but you have to have the necessary context when you read it, and you can't get that if you just read it all the way through.

Reading back through these, it's really interesting how vastly different the earlier seasons are from the ones now and how much darker the aura surrounding the main character is today.

When we first meet Bushie, he is a likable guy with a stable job just looking for love, which is in stark contract to the current Bushie. I am reading back now to remember the better times.

I think the Breaking Bad comparison is actually quite apt.

I think so too. I didn't at the time I made it, but now it's pretty clear that Bushie has transformed himself from a guy with good intentions (Walter White began by cooking meth to support his family when he died) to a monster who selfishly keeps a puppy outdoors in 100 degree heat so he can look at it once or twice a day, uses orphan kids to fulfill his fatherhood fantasies despite knowing there is no possibility to adopt them, stealing money from his parents for porn, needless hotel adventures, shamelessly avoiding employment and lying to the bank about his hardships to get a short sale to go through (did that ever even happen or was the whole story a lie?), and purposely disregarding any form of diet while lying about his weight loss in the process.

Not only that, but many of the viewers of The Update have gone from sympathizing with Bushie to downright disliking the guy for all that he stands for: the worst elements of the hypocritical hardcore Christian that, metaphorically, judges others for being unfaithful while he is the one having an affair with the office secretary. The writers have done a fascinating job portraying this type of person through Bushie.

Bushie, if you need to be loved so badly by another being, just get a dog. Seriously. If you treat it kindly and feed it three times a day it will love you more than any human could. Rescue one from a shelter while you're at it.

"I forgot to feed my dog today but I will definitely remind myself to feed him tomorrow."

"I talked to my pastor and I plan to walk the dog for 30 minutes once every week from now on."

Chillingly prescient.

Just go back and eat the Tiffanye saga.

Must be either a horror movie, or an X-rated version of Update.

Ugh. I think I still had a little bit of hope for Bushie back then.

I really didn't think he was the type of guy to leave a puppy outside all alone in 100 degree weather. My mistake.

He got stuck in NYC due to storms.  He'll be home today.

Bushie takes NYC could be an awesome subplot. Too bad it seems like he will be home today.

Bushie was in NYC and didn't even call me up to hang out? RUDE Angry

I could have taken him to the best McDonalds in town.

You should note that the past three seasons have been burned away (and account for Season XIV).

We really need to save the cache versions before they are lost forever. It would be a damn shame if that happened.

The last season alone gave us the tremendous "With assistance, I can fix spaghetti" meme.
