Is Omaha Steve about to kick the bucket?

[BlueStateSaint]

His disability scams failed and he was forced to work with the cops...who won't put up with union goldbricking. As a consequence Steve is retiring the moment he is eligible. And finally he will get paid for not working--his lifelong dream finally realized.

I think you nailed it.

[DumbAss Tanker]

I think you nailed it.

I'll reserve judgment.  I had a close relative in the prime of life pass away from a sudden appearance of cancer this year, he went from active and normal to dead in about two months.  Life is uncertain.

[franksolich]

After stirring up the DUmmies like this, seems to me he's sort of obligated to end it.

That's what I'm thinking too.

Remember Pamela, the demtenjeep primitive, and how she milked this "I'm dying" thing for months and months?

That's not "kicking the bucket"....that's "licking the bucket".

Kiss of death. The CalPig is wrong 100% of the time.

She congratulated the walrus on a post that ruined his wallduded life.

She pronounced the useless ward heeler WC Green dead, and he's too lazy to die.

Now she says the big guy looks good. Massive coronary coming up.

In other words- stick a $25 fork in him. He's done.

[67 Rover]

So, I guess we have one important question left unanswered.  When does early voting open up in Omaha?   

[98ZJUSMC]

I, for one, don't believe it. Not one bit. If he was really going to kick the bucket he would be on DU telling about his terminal illness in great detail.  It is just the way he is.

Just setting up the cesspool for a couple thousand "woe is me I'm dying" (maybe) posts.

I could be wrong... but I'm betting that he gets on the disability gravy train, begs for money for his "burial" and then "leaves DU" only to return under some other DU screen name.

The sickness manifests itself in many ways.

Steven E Dawes This is a Board Game Cafe here in Omaha that's opening up in September. And no, I'm not one the entrepreneurs of this establishment, but I've been hired on as a manager.

Sound familiar?

I'm opening a pie shop.

It will be structured as a "social enterprise" with all profits donated to music programs in the local schools.

It will not be just a pie shop, but a music venue where local students and local acoustic musicians may play together and play for each other and play for others to hear.

A "board game cafe" is possibly the DUmbest thing I've ever heard, including poor addled grasswipe Judy's pie shop.

I believe that's a different Steve Dawes. I do agree with you about the idea though.

Could it be his son? They do appear to have some similarities.

You're right. The big guy, the dying Bellevue Dawes, is Steven L.

Could be his son. Omaha North - Didn't the big guy move from there to Bellevue to ogle the high school basketball girls?

[Zathras]

If Omaha Steve is on his way out I hope it's a long, expensive, debilitating and extremely painful ending of his worthless existence. As a DUmbass it's what he truly deserves for being the human being that he has been.

[franksolich]

Actually, he moved from a heavily blue area in Omaha to a heavily red suburb of Omaha (Bellevue) because of the crime and decreptitude in the former.

It's like what the hippies did to Vermont decades ago, or like what the Pitts are trying to do to New Hampshire right now; once they're done ruining a place, they look for a different place to ruin.

You know, I'm a very practical person.

There's a place for sentiment, and there's a place for practicality.

I wonder (a) how much in life insurance poor dear Marta's going to collect, and (b) if Marta can continue collecting her widow's pension off the big guy's city pension if she re-marries.

<<<marriageable material.

I'm sure there's some kind of survivor's benefit built in to the absurdly generous public employees' pension plan in Omaha.

But the big guy labored without any useful education, with a work ethic tending to indolence, and apparently without a winning personality (multiple tries for union office, always finishing last). As a result, he'll be retiring from about the lowest rung on the public gravy train ladder.

The pension for a puke scrubber, even from the generous city, must be a pittance, further reduced by his young age.

Also, the absurdly generous life insurance given to public employees either goes away or is hugely reduced upon retirement.

It's doubtful the big guy has any other life insurance, since he's always spent all disposable income on travel to collect the autographs of bit players in old TV shows.

Unless there's an explosion of interest in actors who portrayed unnamed German soldiers in "Combat!" back in the mid-60s, Marta is out of luck, and coach is best advised to remain a bachelor.

Yeah, checked again, and that is his son, Steven E. He always omits his grown children and he has a daughter named Bobbi by another woman other than Marta. He just met her for the first time in 2007, when Bobbi was around 33 years old.

I'm beginning to think he did get some bad news from the doctor:

72. Marta works in IT

 
She can work from home most of the time except for a special project once in a while. She has been told she can work from home all she needs while taking care of me. So we still have some time left together. Some of it on the deck.

but being the DUmmy that he is, he had to go make the rest of the DUmp miserable as well.

[GOBUCKS]

They should name LocoNuts's movie group after the big guy.

Then they could both be dead.

[Carl]

He is a DUmp crazy and likely hypochondriac that is fixated on the disability gravy train.
It would take all of 2 minutes for him to convince himself he is about to enter eternities roaster but most likely he will suck the public teat for years to come.

Yeah.

Poor dear Marta's been taking care of the tub of lard all his married life.

Why am I reminded of the one-legged whale in Las Vegas?

[Airwolf]

I would think that Steve's friends in the Omaha area would know about this as well and this is the first I've heard of this.

[GOBUCKS]

When does the big guy start asking DUmmies for donations?

[Gina]

I, for one, don't believe it. Not one bit. If he was really going to kick the bucket he would be on DU telling about his terminal illness in great detail.  It is just the way he is.

Yep, I see a fundraiser coming up.  Mini tacos for everyone!

[fatboy]

Seems like a good time for all the DUmmies to get together and send out some healing vibes en mass.

[franksolich]

Since the big guy's so eager to announce his upcoming demise--which might, or might not, be true, given how the primitives lie so much--I think it'd be nice if he offered a schedule too.

No one, not even the best scientific and medical minds, can predict exactly when a death might occur, but they can discern a general idea--three months, six months, nine months, a year.

I think the big guy should tell the primitives how much time the professionals predict he's got left.

That way, I'd be able to make up a strategy for courting and wooing Marta, so as to get in on the life insurance proceeds.

(note for primitives who don't understand humor and irony: of course if the big guy's really got a limited time left in this time and place, I really think he should toss the primitives and Skins's island overboard, and instead spend his remaining time with his grandchildren.)
