Yes. Certain relatives of mine did this for years. I think they're disgusting. Stove top stuffing and not in-bird? An insult to both America and Jesus.

Bushie, have you tried eating mixed nuts as a snack? They're filling and provide protein.

For all the flaws with Bushie's diet, lack of protein is not one of them. Actually getting plenty of protein is probably the only thing he does right.

With my pathetic bowling scores last night, it gives me a motivation to go to the bowling alley every so often and bowl two or three games by myself in an effort to raise my score and get exercise.  I would like to get back into a bowling league next fall so I can have that regular exercise and have fun for 2 1/2 to 3 hours every week.

Your pathetic attempts of doing something as simple as walking for more than 15 minutes wasn't enough motivation to get more exercise?

Eh, while bowling is a pathetic excuse for "exercise" (lol) it is not a bad idea for Jeff if he'll actually do it alongside eating better and walking. (Certainly better than just rotting away, watching Northwestern North Dakota State vs. Tulane) But then again, bowling can be pricey, so there's that consideration as well.

Spoiler: Bushie will spend $150 on "bowling gear" and only bowl once

I'm still rather amused at the buying "walking gear" as if walking is something you need special gear for. Think of all the dirt poor people in third world countries for whom its their only mode of transportation.

You'd think with all the earthquakes Oklahoma gets now there would have been at least 15 pins to fall on your watch.

I wonder if his fellow bowlers were trying to give him advice and he responded with "I am doing NOTHING wrong"

Yes, this episode would surely get an 'A' on the AV Club's Update coverage. Really masterful storytelling and use of metaphor by the writers.

Eh, too much, I believe.  It really needs to be one phrase for more dramatic emphasis.

I recommend seasonal music to accompany Update:

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my Bushie gave to me:

•   12 jobs a-failing
•   11 excuses boiling
•   10 hours sleeping
•   9 pins a-falling
•   8 bowls a-gorging
•   7 games a-watching
•   6 dinners attending

•   5 GOLDEN CORRALS!

•   4 ex-fiancιs
•   3 church groups
•   2 sad dogs
•   And a sack of unused walking gear

It won't be even the first day of Christmas for another month and change. This music isn't 'seasonal'. STOP THE WAR ON ADVENT.

Okay, enough. (1) Some of us don't have time to make stuffing by hand. (2) Cooking it in the bird is a recipe for food poisoning.

The Family Texas is having barbequed pulled pork for Thanksgiving dinner. The stuffing will not have been inside the animal in question at any point.

Agreed. Encouraging Jeff to eat better is one thing, and there are ways to do that with regard to both cost and time. Acting disgusted because his family doesn't have the culinary genius of Alton Brown is ... over the top.
