Actually, and not trying to be a wise-ass here, I would like to know how he paid for 100 plus African Safaris on a writers salary since I remember reading him say that he never took a free hunt.

He has to have several million invested in Africa alone.

Yes, seriously. Regardless of what others might say, I know they were named for Gen. Arnold. Have you no ethics man? You probably support CBL hunting!

Saw this as a trending topic today. I looked at the first few posts but am none the wiser. Would anyone be able to tell me what this is about as it is a compete mystery to me . I worked out who CB is but what is the post about exactly? (I wasn't going to read through 17 pages of posts to find out.)

Thanks

Well its been a few years that I taught a college class, and while Dr. Slough might not answer questions for those who do not do their homework, I never had such a rule. The short version is how could CB take all these hunting trips (and one in particular that would retail about 100k) when he declared Chapter 7, when claiming he never took a free trip. The eggs are those who want to change the subject.

And here I thought boiled eggs were the CBL equivalent... I mean you put them in a small enclosure, lock them up bring the heat and as much as the try to evade the shot(spoon), they can’t escape the inevitable...

Eggs and rotten eggs.


@8 x 60 : When people get to know you better, can they call you 480 for short? (A little engineering & math humor)

Popularity certainly creates its own set of expectations.
I think you have to be nuts to want to be a public figure.

Does CB stick his nose into your personal finances.? Were you directly affected by his bankruptcy?

Some folks seem to relish internet drama, when at the end of the day, nothing good comes out of it.

Look up Stargazey pie . . . what are you supposed to do when such a thing is presented at the table? I don't think it's polite to throw up after eating, so I guess you have no choice but to do it before you eat . . .

I have managed my finances to keep them from being a public record and hopefully I never get into the position that have to write off debt. The price you pay when you don't pay your debts is: that it all becomes public record for all the world to see. A lot he has bought upon himself. Had he said the hunt were donated, I don't think anyone would care. But I suspect, if that was said, folks might think the hunt was nothing more then a paid endorsement, I know I would.

Hey Tex, instead of getting all bent out of shape about what I wrote why don't you search the net a bit and read about the shenanigans your hero has been up to?
