The Burning Bush

Nickname for former U.S. president George W. Bush.

A reference to the burning bush in the Bible, which was on fire, but was not charred.

He was nicknamed as such because he was plagued with scandal throughout his entire presidency, yet he managed to complete 8 years in the White House and beyond without any legal action being taken against him or any plans to remove him from office, and since he finished, he has still remained untouched by the hands of the law.
It is alleged by some that The Burning Bush committed more than 300 impeachable offenses during his presidency.

The Burning Bush

The name given when urinating onto a bush, preferably when you are dehydrated and your urine is yellow, creating a visual metaphor of the Biblical passage.
Moses: 'Wow look! Johnny's creating The Burning Bush'
James: 'Wow, how cool'

What happened when Moses spoke to the burning bush? 

Either he engaged in DIRECT DIALOGUE with the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE... OR... HE DID NOT DO THAT. Maybe he had and appiphony and he considered THAT God. Maybe the bush had psychedelic properties and he got high and THOUGHT he spoke to the creator of the universe.
Hym "So, What happened when Moses spoke to the burning bush? Probably nothing. Burning bushes don't speak. The revelation he came up woth was in no way profound... Because they had JUST LEFT A CIVILIZATION... Where the laws were likely identical to the 10 commandments. And a better question than that would be 'If I went back in time and stood next to Moses... WOULD I SEE AND HEAR GOD WITH HIM?' Do you think... That a guy... SPOKE TO FUCKING GOD, JORDAN? And that God... SPOKE BACK TO THAT GUY IN DIRECT DIALOGUE? Is that a thing that YOU FUCKING THINK ACTIVELY AND ACTUALLY, JORDAN? Jesus fucking christ, it's like trying to get a special needs kid to admit to swallowing a lego! Did you eat that? DID YOU EAT THE LEGO?"

Jordan Peterson "NUHNGNUHNGNUHNG! DERRRR!"

Hym "That isn't a response to the words I said Jordan! Did you eat the fucking- Spit it out! Spit out the Lego Jordan!"

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
