Bubba

I was talking to my editor about Bubbas.  For some reason he wanted to talk about this.  He said he never knew a Bubba in West Virginia so it must be a Southern thing.  Well yeah.  I’ve known thousands of Bubbas growing up in the South.  Usually it’s not their given name.  I was asked if I ever met a black Bubba.  Uh, no.

I know a guy from Mississippi who’s last name is Thompson so I wanted to make him a Bubba for one day.  He’s a busy guy so I’m not sure if he’ll catch this.  I’ll give him a nudge.

Trans Am does seem like a car a Bubba would drive (when he’s not driving a pickup truck with a boat behind it).  I’m really hoping I don’t see any editorial cartoons on the death of the Trans Am with Smoky And The Bandit in it.
