Atta boy Bob-I was thinking that naptime was gonna win out.Underneath that sarcastic encrusted and sunburned shell lies a heart of gold. And you didn't break the damn mower in the process!

Awwww... Look at you, trying to sound all mean, like you don't want to help this kid who you obviously like. And then you end up cutting lots of lawns for him for free. You big teddy bear you. I'm proud of you, kid. However, it's pretty obvious that you "Paid it Forward". (to use a lame phrase) You did something nice for this kid so that you could write mean things about how you don't like him in your diary.

i would've stuck with nap time... ... yeah. i'm going to hell. i've learned to embrace it.

You're definitely a better person than me. I would have just given him the $65 to get off my porch.

...I probably wouldn't have answered the door in the first place. ;-)

This is a textbook case of passive aggressive behavior. Once again we see Uncle Bob appearing very nice on the surface. Yet, as soon as the person is away he is attacking them here. This diary is a very unhealthy outlet for Uncle Bob's anti social behavior and could lead to self destructive behavior. Bob do you have a drinking problem? Intimacy issues?

Let's see. What one word comes to mind after reading that entry? Oh yeah, SUCKER!!!!! Don't you peek out windows to see who is there? That is the only way I can keep the Jehovah's Witnesses at bay!! Maybe you should go cut lawns for yourself next time and buy yourself some surveillance equipment for your front door. Sounds like a good cause to me!

I wonder how much of that $65 will go to the kids Spider-man 2 video game fund and how much will actually go to sending missionaries to Africa to convert the poor and desperate. The world may never know. But kudos to you UB, for helping the derranged kid out.

I'm starting to think Drew's kind of funny. Lame, but kind of funny all the same.

Our local priests were trying to raise money to send some of the clergy to Bangkok for a "Fact finding Mission" I'll send them down UB's way for a donation...

please tell me you totally messed those peoples yards up for the sake of your own's glory.

pinkytusk - 2004-07-20 12:03:38
you could probably make more money mowing lawns than doing your dj stuff..

Yeah, I would have mowed crop circles in their yards and told the kid that the church was really run by a bunch of aliens. Then while he sat in the street and cried, I would have gone back inside and flicked the bean some more. And then a nap.

Stupid web browsers. Whatever.

Ricky - 2004-07-20 13:19:07
I would have just told the lil brat that Jesus was dead, and that there was no reason to raise any money. If the little puke asked what happpened to Jesus, you could always say "Oh, he probably died because of something bad that you did."

Jinxie - 2004-07-20 13:44:39
Ok...so this kid already has a dad, right? Yet Uncle Bob is out there under the Alabama July sun mowing lawns? UB...you're just too damn nice for your own good. The Real You could stand to take some lessons from your Alter Ego UB...

I second the "Sucka!" Too bad someone else already said it first.

Sasha - 2004-07-20 14:06:58
Things like that are going to make you the "favorite" parent in Andrew's eyes. ;)

That was really sweet of you, UB. And it is perfectly ok that you vent YOUR feelings in YOUR diary. People who deny that they have any negative feelings end up shooting people from the tops of bell towers, anyway.

April Ann - 2004-07-20 15:27:37
Sounds totally like a scam to me. I bet the money didn't even go to the church once the kid realized what he had...
-------------------------------
Laura - 2004-07-20 16:38:06
Uncle Bob, you're good people.

Dave G - 2004-07-20 20:13:26
fuckin' softie

Veronica - 2004-07-20 20:47:02
That was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing. Good entry! I wouldn't have helped the kid, either, but you gave him some great advice.
-------------------------------
joeblow - 2004-07-21 01:44:42
UB, you are that little kid's bitch.
-------------------------------
Doug - 2004-07-21 10:09:28
I would have dropped him a five and told him to hit the road. He wouldn't have known any better and you could have napped.

You are a total sweetheart! :)
