Update XX: A Darn Good Judge of My Financial Situation

[Eraserhead]

Well folks, here we are. It's the 20th season. What a ride it has been, am I right?

Anyway, this was the first time I held a forum vote over what the title of the season should be. It wasn't close. I may do this again in the future.

Also here's some theme music to set the mood as requested by Memphis:

You deserve a break today, Bushie!

[Eraserhead]

Guys, you're too much! None of this would be possible without all of your fantastic contributions to this epic interactive narrative! Each and every one of you has helped turn Update into something truly unique, including the prolific contributions from the star of our show Mr. BushOklahoma!

By the way, what do you guys thing about this idea for an Update t-shirt:

Front: "FULL 24 HOUR WORK WEEK?"

Back: "YOU DESERVE A BREAK TODAY!"/Jeff munching on some delicious Braum's.

How is Big Russ doing these days?

[Eraserhead]

Bushie, Jeff, whatever

Please take my advice and just deactivate your account... please. You were gone for a week and these fools had to make up stupid jokes just to keep this sh**ts alive...come on man. You know you are better than this, delete this and your Facebook, and these bums will be as screwed... many of them base their whole lives on this update thread, just force them to do something worthwhile.

And who are you exactly?

[Eraserhead]

I must have missed all of those times that Lief seriously insulted you, Bushie. He's been one of your biggest defenders in a lot of ways actually.

[Eraserhead]

Bushie, most importantly do you like Katy Perry?

also how tall are you and how much do you weigh?

He's 5'7'' and says he currently weighs 291 lbs.

In case anyone's interested, for Family Dinner #2 tonight, we are having roasted chicken straight from the Sam's club or Walmart Deli!

Mmm... the "Walmart Deli". You can't go wrong there!

[Eraserhead]

"Lame duck Obama"? Bushie should change his username to Josh22 at this point.

[Eraserhead]

"Superbowl news"?

[Eraserhead]

Has the Brown family ever been to the Cheesecake Factory? They are a chain that is well known for having extremely large portion sizes and calorie counts. Seems like it'd be their style.

No, we haven't.  And, we won't, either.  The last thing that Dad had before he was diagnosed was a piece of cheesecake.  I'm not a fan of cheesecake myself, so there's no need to go there.

Bushie, dia-beet-us is not like contaminated meat.  You don't catch it from one serving.

Haha, oh dear... Classic Bushie™.

[Eraserhead]

He is already there.

He probably is but like a master storyteller he knows that the official announcement will be the perfect way to end the 20th season.

[Eraserhead]

So only 5 or 6 slices tonight? What will you have for dessert?

[Eraserhead]

So only 5 or 6 slices tonight? What will you have for dessert?

No dessert

Will you tell us how many slices you're gonna have?

[Eraserhead]

Producers, could we have an upcoming season set on the island from Castaway?  I'd like to see how long Bushie could last.  

This constant pissing and moaning is driving me up the wall, such a child.  

I'll look into it.

[Eraserhead]

Allison seems very active on social media today. Jeff, what did you do now?

[Eraserhead]

Remember that episode when Jeff said he was going to go out walking with his pastor (or whoever it was) five times a week? There were going to be NO EXCUSES.

I think that ended up lasting all of a day or two.

[Eraserhead]

One of the reasons I am serious about this lifestyle change is I cannot hide it any longer my body is showing signs of breaking down with all these stomach bugs and aches and pains.  I have been very fortunate in that I have not been diagnosed with diabetes, but I know that being 115-120 pounds overweight and having a family history of the disease, I'm living on borrowed time unless I do something about it.  The fact that I don't have it, yet, means I can stop the diabetes train before it crashes through the depot.  I can hear the whistle of the train off in the distance, but it hasn't arrived at the depot, yet.  That is my "why" and my motivation.  I can't hide it or sugar coat it any longer.  I'm 2 1/2 months from my 33rd birthday.  I have the body of someone 40-50 years my senior and even that may be too conservative as there are many men in their 70s and 80s who are in much better health than me.  It's time to get moving.

I'd be more concerned with the possibility of a massive heart attack.

With the laundry finished for the week, I am going to make a Walmart list, grab some supper, and then go by the store before daylight is gone.  I think I will go out to eat tonight.  The exercise portion of the change started today, but the diet portion starts at midnight, so I'm going to enjoy one last meal before I start the diet portion tomorrow.

lol...

This isn't going to be pretty.

[Eraserhead]

Unfortunately this has been a very poor season so far. Really the only thing that could save it at this point as surprise reveal in the finale that Bushie actually has hit the big three-double-zero. But as things stand, this season is languishing in C or even C- territory.

I can't help but feel partly responsible. I'm sorry, my friend!

[Eraserhead]

I honestly think my diet has been worse than Bushie's these last few days. Being snowed in all the time sucks.

[Eraserhead]

This should be interesting.

[Eraserhead]

That's it for this season. The new season is already up.
