Karmic Glow
…
Look what happens when you expand your BuVu horizons and allow others to make BuFoons of themselves:
…
…
BuFoon Mike Sullivan has singlehandedly become the Mother Theresa of BuVu. (Among other things, BuFoons enjoy a mixed metaphor or two.)
Seriously: Within days of accepting an invitation to BuFoonery, BF Mike has launched projects to upgrade the wellbeing of two young people who will remain anonymous so as to preserve privacy. (Except, of course, for BF Mike’s privacy, which we now gleefully invade to flout his instinct for keeping his generosity a secret. TS, BF Mike.)
Anonymous Young Person #1 lives in Colombia, South America, and came to the attention of BF Mike during a trip with his sweetie to visit her Colombian family and friends. It turns out the kid is a great student, but hindered by circumstances beyond his control. He needs school clothes, computer, and all those things any self-respecting teen requires. BF Mike has become a secret benefactor, and The Church of BuVu gets to bask in his karmic glow.
As if that wasn’t enough of a threat to BuVu’s determination to maintain a certain goofball aura, BF Mike has instigated another do-gooder project whereby he is secretly contributing to the financial wellbeing of Anonymous Young Person #2, by teaming up with the folks who “adopted” the young man when his natural parents more-or-less left him behind. Once again, BF Mike has generously shared his karmic shine with the Church of BuVu.

This do-gooder thing is an alarming trend. In the future we may have to screen for uncontrolled impulses to make life better for other people. I have reviewed his resume, and I have reason to believe that BuFoon John has the same impulses.
Perhaps I can provide the necessary balance by diligent maintenance of our benchmarks for random goofiness.
