Trust the Buggs to throw a Monty Python reference in there.

the puritans were messed up
Because seriously. What a bunch of religious assholes.
bugcadiana, home of the ragin’ bugjins
That right there is Mrs Bugg in a pirogue — pronounced pee-row. The Bugjins did not travel to Acadibuggiana in pirogues, but Loki will never, ever get over my joke of singing “I’m on a pirogue heading for the sea”. instead of “I’m on a B-road heading for the sea” because my version is funnier.
why not a bucket
Seems legit to me.
(OK, Dept. of Backstory re: the bucket: We were at the movies with friends several years ago, and when we came out of the theatre, we were standing around in the dimly lit park-like area outside, talking about what to do next. I wasn’t paying much attention to the discussion, because, in the man-made stream running through the park was a small child, standing in the water, with a blue plastic bucket on his head, over his eyes and everything.
“Why does that child have a bucket on his head?” I asked.
Our friends burst out laughing, thinking it was some sort of whackass nonsequitur.*
“No, really. Look.” I pointed. They looked. The laughter reached epic proportions. And so did “Why does that child have a bucket on his head?” passed into legend, and became a byword for inexplicable yet actual Things That Happened.
*Those are not entirely unprecedented, mind you.)
don’t hate on science, Tennessee
Because heaven forfend someone might have a different, evidence-based view of the world, that conflicts with what your invisible skydaddy was said to have said, in a book badly-translated ten thousand times and from which you already pick and choose like some sort of fucking religious buffet. I’m looking at you, shrimp-eaters, beard-shavers, and polyester-wearers.
(Re: the drawing, I loves me some evolution-of-Bugg stuff, and the perspective making their hands look like huge Mickey Mouse hands. BUT SERIOUSLY STOP HATING ON SCIENCE, PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.)
