[Mr. Morden]

This post from the Bristol Palin / Levi Johnston thread looks prophetic:

Will they get married before or after BushOklahoma?

As does this, unfortunately:

OK, sorry for bringing in something from another thread, but:

My girlfriend is bi-polar....

All the more reason why you should be more cautious about rushing into marriage with her.  Does she have depressive episodes?  Has she had one since you started dating, or have you both been on a high the whole time?  You really need to know what you're getting into.  To offer a personal anecdote, I have a good friend who, after a lengthy engagement to a woman with bipolar disorder, had the wedding called off by her just three weeks before it was scheduled to take place, because of a fight they had over money.

Bushie, I'm sorry for your loss.  I do hope that you've learned something here that you can take into your next relationship.  Like: 1) Don't propose 3 months after you've started dating, and 2) Don't quickly rush into marriage with someone who is bi-polar.

[Mr. Morden]

It is tough to hear the news, especially since this is the THIRD woman to fall through.

Yikes.  You have more broken engagements than the Detroit Lions have wins in the last two years.

[Mr. Morden]

I'm surprised that Susan didn't pass a note in study hall breaking up with you.  What were her reasons anyway?

A long list of problems that my mother later called "bolognae".  For one, she is jealous that I have other friends besides her.  Two, she needs a "break" and said April 9 might still happen if SHE so chose.  She really acted in a very childish and immature way.  She also had to have her mom help her tell my mom.  I can tell you one thing, April 9 will not happen as long as we BOTH have a choice.  There are more "items" they brought up that I won't mention here.

Are you going to address the fact that you originally said that she'd never had a boyfriend before, and now you say she did?

[Mr. Morden]

I misspell crap all the time

How do you spell it?  Krappe?

[Mr. Morden]

What was the point of lying about never having had a boyfriend before?

[Mr. Morden]

I finally talked to her a few minutes ago and she said her main reasoning for giving the ring back was things were moving a little too fast for her and that she needed a break, both of which I understood.  We talked for a few minutes and agreed to take a break until about Labor Day and see how things stand.  If we get back together, we may still keep April 9, 2011 intact.

Bushie, if part of the issue is that she thought you were moving too fast, why don't you simply cancel the wedding, and try dating without being engaged?  You know, like people normally would with someone they've only been dating for 6 months.  Everyone in this thread said that you were rushing things by proposing after only about 10 weeks.  You yourself said:

I respect her too much, though, to propose to her any earlier than August or September.

Then you went ahead and proposed in April anyway, which everyone here said was a mistake.  Now the situation has blown up in your face, and she even tells you that part of the problem is that things are going too fast.  Why don't you take the logical step and try dating without the engagement?  How many of these broken engagements do you have to go through before realizing that proposing after just a few weeks/months is a mistake?

[Mr. Morden]

  I'm looking forward to the "break" with Susan and I do sincerely hope that come September that we can pick up where we left off and move on for by that time we will be down to 7 months if we keep April 9 as the wedding date which is what we plan on doing.

Why?  What is the point of proceeding with the wedding at this point?  If things broke down to the point where she (temporarily) cancelled the engagement and you both decided that you "needed a break" from each other, why would you possibly still want to proceed with this wedding on the planned schedule?  Why don't you just date without being engaged?  Does "dating without planning for marriage" exist in your world?

[Mr. Morden]

I’m not trashing the advice I’ve been given on the forum, and in fact I appreciate all the advice, but a man has to make his own mind up and make his own mistakes and own up to the mistakes he’s made.

That's the part that you're not doing.  When you make a mistake, you don't own up to it.  You just repeat the same mistake again and say "this time it's different".  When people try to point that out here, you frequently just ignore them.

[Mr. Morden]

By the end of this week I will have already made $335 and will have acquired my first promotion.

How many actual sales do you have to people outside of your family?

[Mr. Morden]

She just wants to take it easy for a month or two while pushing the wedding talk to the side and just get to know me better.

As everyone here has been telling you, "getting to know you better" is something that's supposed to happen before you get engaged.  Again, why don't you just try dating without the engagement, and not worry about marriage until after you already know each other well enough that there won't be any more "surprises" like this one?

[Mr. Morden]

If you get a job as a car salesman, take it, but don't quit looking for jobs that match your skill set.  Obviously getting a job at a company where Google doesn't autocomplete the word "scam" for you after typing it into the search engine is a major upgrade, regardless.

According to what he wrote on FB, he's not even looking to replace Ameriplan.  Getting a real job is something he hopes to do to survive until Ameriplan starts making him enough $ to live off that exclusively....srsly

[Mr. Morden]

NOTE:  I still don't plan to get married to Susan, but texaslefty offered anyway!!

Texaslefty offered to get married to Susan?

[Mr. Morden]

NOTE:  I still don't plan to get married to Susan, but texaslefty offered anyway!!

Texaslefty offered to get married to Susan?

Uh no what BO means is that she offered to counsel them in the eent that BO and Susan get married.


This isnt Spain.. susan and texaslefty cant marry. also she is not a lesbian .. she is ging to marr someone at the grand canyob next year....

Would it help if I held up a sarcasm sign every time I make a joke?

[Mr. Morden]

There is a fourth one that say - need 18-25 A.S.A.P.

18-25 what?  Your age needs to be 18-25?  Aren't you too old for that?

The third job you list also has a max age of 38.  What's with these jobs with maximum ages?  Is that an Oklahoma thing?

[Mr. Morden]

Obviously any job wanted ad where the job, requirements, and basically everything about it is completely indeterminable is a winner.  There are many questions about word choice there.

What kind of job has an upper-limit age cutoff of 25?  Entry-level prostitution?

Yes, I think that's it.  Why else would they specify the age limit, but not tell you what you'd actually be doing?  Only explanation is that what you'd be doing is illegal, so they can't advertise it.

The job with the upper age limit of 38 is probably also prostitution, but it's prostitution for olds.

[Mr. Morden]

The 18-25 job is probably something in the "adult" field.

I think Bushie should apply for that job and lie about his age.  Go down there and demand an interview, and then report back to us as to what happened.

[Mr. Morden]

Do you think it's possible that the 18-25 or the loud music could be possibly an arcade or other gaming venue?

Why would they not hire 26 year olds?  That doesn't make any sense.

I think you need to call them and ask about the job, just to satisfy our curiosity.  Or at least search for their phone # in Google to see if anything comes up.

[Mr. Morden]

The second interview I went to is that 18-25 ad that I told you about last night.  It is a marketing company, but with a base pay of $30,000 a year ($576.xx before taxes) after an 6-8 week training.  It would be entry-level management with some sales, but when he rattled off the $30,000 a year and $576.xx a week, I made him repeat that!

Only drawback on this job is that you have to lie about your age to get it.

[Mr. Morden]

bushie needs his own reality show.  asap!

He should follow Levi Johston's example and run for mayor.  "BushOklahoma for Mayor" would be a great reality show.

[Mr. Morden]

The lady started off acting like she would be an easy drop (easy sell), but then she turned sarcastic saying that she actually liked the dirt in her son's mattress.  Then, she kicked me to the curb in the pouring rain.  Oh well.  Shake the dust off my feet and get back at 'em tomorrow!!

Have you thought about selling some to your family, like you did with Ameriplan?

[Mr. Morden]

You're a horrible person

Would it have worked better if I'd used the winking emoticon?

Joe posted the link in the vacuum thread, but university professors call Bushie's new job "a textbook example of unconscionability"

Lol at finding a more evil product than AmeriPlan to sell to people!

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Sounds like fun.  I'm sorry, but "Update" has become a ridiculous parody of itself.  Can we fire the writers and start a new season?

[Mr. Morden]

For a Christian, he certainly has no problem entering exploitation scheme after exploitation scheme.  I mean, I couldn't sleep at night selling such things.

Remember when he backed out of the New Zealand-based scam that he quit his job over?  His rationale is that he thought it looked fishy enough that he might get in legal trouble.  No mention of the fact that he'd be involved in scamming other people, just concern for whether he would get caught.

[Mr. Morden]

I think I  mentioned it before, but there is some research supporting the notion that people who scam are more easily scammed themselves. This seems to be a good example.

That's what keeps sites like this alive:

You know who owns the Kirby Corporation?  None other than William Buffett, himself.

Who's that?  Is he related to Jimmy Buffett?
