this day in bugg history

sa-wing, batter

It’s no fun unless everyone gets to play!

the first Florida Man

Well, the first non-native one, anyway. I strongly suspect it’s the non-native Florida Men who get up to all the ridiculous shit.

run away to join the circus

The Buggs would totally run away if they could join a circus; happily for us, they can cosplay all the circuses, Stargate teams, sports stars, historical figures and wild west icons they like if they stay here. Win!

Man, witch trials were a cacophony of ridiculousness.

I just saw a fascinating Science Channel program about this very thing! I had no idea that Einstein’s theory could be proven by photographing an eclipse. Fascinating.

that’s messed up

Bugg eyes that are swirly from psychoactive drugs? HILARIOUS. Also: I love how Mr Bugg’s first inclination is to throw on a tutu, while Mrs Bugg grabs weaponry.

Oh, come on, Mr Bugg. I’m sure Mrs Bugg’s driving is just fine, and not scary in any way at all.

Who needs cement for footings when you can wear cute boots instead?

Mrs Bugg’s pack looks suspiciously like the one I carried when we hiked up the mountain above Idyllwild to camp for a long weekend: I had a huge wooden spoon sticking out of my pack, the handle of a camp saucepan looped through it, because the saucepan itself wouldn’t fit in the pack. It was ridiculous and hilarious.

My boots were not nearly as cute as Mrs Bugg’s, though.

now I’m feeling zombified

Mr Bugg looks horrified. I hope his zombie-proof compound is ready.

Ah, yes, the old “hey, I know that word!” technique.

On the other hand, how cute are the Buggs in their old-skool Star Trek getups? Mrs Bugg’s tricorder in particular is awesome, not least because it’s probably her favorite flip phone.

We absolutely will not comment on the nature of the spires behind the Buggs, and instead focus on the happiness on their faces.

That’s nice, isn’t it?

travel diary : day one

Ahhh, starting at the beginning and working forward, then?

Also: I love the sphinx. Bugginx? WHATEVER, IT IS ADORABLE.

nothing like a good heist

Of course, getting ambushed and killed by the law does tend to put a damper on the fun of bank robberies.

Having said that, Mr and Mrs Bugg’s 30s-era cosplay, with lovely hat and tommy-guns, is pretty sweet.

take the good with the bad

Look, for every Amélie soundtrack, you get polka. That’s just how life is.

I can’t wait to see where they go! I should find out if they’re on Instagram.

pacbugg

OK, yes, Mr Bugg as Pac-Bugg is pretty adorable. But may I please direct your attention to Mrs Bugg, who is WEARING A SHEET, arms poking through wee armholes in her sheet, and running away like whoa.

If that doesn’t make you smile, you may want to check with a doctor, in case you are DEAD INSIDE.

Hey, you just go with your bad self, Abe.

the buggle

So I’m just going to fall over dead here, ok? Mr Bugg’s Darwin with his GREAT BIG BUSHY BEARD plus Mrs Bugg’s thumbs-up figurehead is KILLING ME FROM THE CUTE.

And now it’s Mrs Bugg’s turn to wear the scarf!
