Sometimes a radio talk show will make you just flat out laugh like an idiot.
Yesterday it was Chris Baker. Just to amuse himself, he had opened up the show to Chupakaaaaabra, Bigfoot, Lady of the Lake, UFO freaks, etc. So this Rube calls in to talk about this guy he knows who had a Close Encounter a number of years ago.
Chris and The Rube talk about this guy for a while. The Rube tells about how he and the guy were out in the woods one night "wearin burt orange 'cause ya know we dint want tu get shot" when the guy went off by himself for a bit. He came back with a wild story about a UFO. The guy was covered with what later turned out to be radiation burns "he'us burt'n stuff liek-at". Apparently The Rube still knows this guy so Chris was asking about the guy, how his current health is, is he married, what kind of work does he do, etc.
THEN Chris asks "So is this a well rounded guy?" and - I swear I just totally swear I actually felt it coming - The Rube thought about it a moment and then answered "Naw he's about 6'4".
And now for something completely different:
P.S. Happy Anniversary to The Husband and me.

I highly recommend the writings of Flannery
O'Connor. Enough "rubes" & general dumbasses to keep you occupied for weeks (personal favorite, Enoch & the Gorilla - think about it).
And congratulations to you and your husband! You are very fortunate.

Thanks to both of you... the anniversary was a hit. There's a really good reason for a bride to save her wedding gown!
And I do just love the word rube.
AND the day after I wrote this post they canceled Chris Baker's radio show. I apparently am a curse.
