I think that the recent HLA fire has put an interesting spin on what is being discussed in this thread. From my perspective, it really looks like Butt Butt Bucci is carefully hedging his bets. You know that he has every intention of coming out on top, financially speaking. It would be nice if he could save face too, but what the heck, nobody need know who he is on some island in the Caribbean with a million or so in the bank.
If the insurance money comes in before the next session at HLA begins, I would guess he is not going to stick around. If the insurance money is delayed, well, he has to keep up the charade if he is ever going to get it.
HLA is not my particular shitpit, although I have been haphazardly following this forum for a couple of months now. My own reign of horror was experienced further up the coast, quite a long time ago. So you have every right to roundly boo me out of here for not knowing what the hell I am talking about, should you so wish.
