Update Season VIII - "Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!"

[Bacon King]

Bushie did you see the new promotional material for Season 8

[Lief 🗽]

Bushie throwing out the CAD thing as soon as he gets back from Kenya would be a great callback to one of the season 4 (maybe 3?) storylines. Before his very first Kenya trip, he had just started at a Dell call center, and he made a big deal before his first day of work that he wasn't beginning "a job, but a career." And then he comes back from Kenya, forgets all about his new life-long career and is fired/quits a few weeks later.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Oh, for sure. No doubt this CAD thing is just a whim, and he will forget it all when he gets home.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

prediction:  this whole cad thing gets thrown out the window when bushie returns from kenya.  he will hatch some new scheme to return to 'his country' to be with 'his babies.'

might be best.  i dont think his heart is in this cad endeavor.

I'm thinking the same thing. We know how he said he was an African and had children to care for "back home" when he came home the first time. He's sort of tapered that insane rhetoric, but I imagine it will come back in full force in a few weeks.

Dukey, I'm not doing anything right away, but it will eventually happen. I still have work to do in Oklahoma for a little while longer, but the way I'm seeing it now, I could be an "American-African" within the next 15-24 months.  It definitely won't happen in 2012, and it very likely won't happen until the latter half of 2013 at the very earliest.  I'm also not going until I have a way to make a living down there lined up without becoming another mouth to feed.  I'm consulting with many different trusted friends and advisors.  I'm talking with missionary friends in China and South Africa.  I'm talking to the mother of the South African missionary.  I'm also consulting with some very trusted family advisors (not my parents, quite yet).  I'm also consulting with my current pastor and his wife as well as my former pastor and his wife (the same couple whose daughter is in S Africa).  I'm also consulting with a former college advisor who is well experienced in mission work.  I've got many different people to consult with before I make any kind of efforts to move.  Rest assured, though, while I feel like I could be on the next flight out, I also have work to do in Oklahoma to prepare me to go down to Africa.  Nothing is going to happen within the next 15 months, I can guarantee that, and that's bare minimum.  God's Will, I believe, is for me to move to Kenya eventually, but not for at least 15-24 months if not a little longer.  Right now, I just have a deep, deep longing to be "home" in Kisumu, Kenya, and I know I will get home eventually."

This post about "God's will" is essential reading, I think.

Duke and BRTD are women now? And Inks is a black? What is it with atlas and black republicans from Michigan?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Grumps and Duke,

I know when I get back in 22 days from now, I will want to move to Kenya right away.  The trick will be to wade through the emotions and continue on with the plans that I have made before going to Kenya, which are to go to school for CAD-Mechanical and move to Fort Worth afterwards.  Thankfully, I will have my parents here, who are all in for the schooling, to bring me back to reality.  The worst thing that can happen is the Peace Corps idea may be revived, but I'm planning to stick with the Fort Worth plan!  The notion that the Maisha Volunteer Homes won't be available until at least late 2017 or 2018, will quickly bring me back to reality.

BK, nice promo!

". I still have work to do in Oklahoma for a little while longer, but the way I'm seeing it now, I could be an "American-African" within the next 15-24 months."

I'm cracking up on the train right now (as I sit next to someone I once thought was Flyers).

Yeah, 15-24 months obviously didn't happen.

Your patents have hardly been grounded in reality. They encouraged you to leave ONG for that scam. If you mix in god with your arguments, they'll be wetter than that bridesmaid was on Saturday night.

I don't have high hopes for the CAD program plot arc ever taking off.

[memphis]

I very much enjoy the flashbacks courtesy of Xahar. Good work, buddy!

[WalterMitty]

the way i see it, there are four possibilities with this cad thing:

1. bushie opts not to go.
2. bushie attends and drops out.
3. bushie attends and flunks out.
4. bushie successfully completes the program.

by the way...best quote about bushie's plans:

"I whole heartedly back your (and your parent's) plan, Bushie. What is a 'CAD'?  Similar to a BOUNDER?"--opebo.

jmfcst really was a solid contributor to Update.  It's a shame he's no longer with us.

[Lief 🗽]

RIP the jfsmtc.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Tomorrow, I've got a few errands I need to run in town, but it shouldn't take that long.  I anticipate being gone 2 to 2 1/2 hours at the most.  I've got to pay a bill, run by my house, and grab a suitcase.

[Lief 🗽]

So you'll have at least 10-12 hours to schedule in an hour of physical activity!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Bushie, what did you eat today!

[Joe Biden 2020]

Bushie, what did you eat today!

3 slices of bacon, 2 scrambled eggs, no toast for breakfast
no lunch
2 soft tacos for supper.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Have you ever tried to return to your roots and cook some native american meals like your indian ancestors? Some corn? Live in teepee out in the woods?

Pretty clear Bushie never gets any fiber in his diet ever. I bet if he ate some broccoli, he could lose several pounds just from pushing out the clogged remains of countless hamburgers.

You are telling that to someone who cannot stand broccoli.

Even in Chinese food? It's no longer healthy, of course, but some chewy beef and  crisp broccoli in that sweet Chinaman sauce is so damn tasty!

No one in his family knows how to cook, so he's only eaten vegetables in their worst form.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Bushie doesn't eat Chinese. Lesbianest, his diet consists of hamburgers, soda, mexican, dessert, and eggs and bacon. Literally, he's eaten that nonstop since we started drilling him like a cheap date on his diet. No way he eats Chinese.
