this day in bugg history

oh, Mrs Bugg

she's huge [click to embiggen]

Look, I know you had to survive, just like those soccer players in the Andes, but … did you have to eat so much? How long will you have to elliptical to burn all that fat?

and now we need a “spelling” tag

Honestly, it’s like Malaprop Boss in Bugg form. Dolphin, honestly.

troy

trojan horse [click to embiggen]

I’ve been turning this over in my head for twenty minutes, trying to figure out how to throw in a quote from or reference to Cleolinda’s Troy in Fifteen Minutes, but I can’t do it. Just click the link & read it … then read every other X in Fifteen Minutes, then buy the book, then buy any movie so referenced any time it turns up in the $5 DVD bin, and quote lines from them back & forth with your sweetie for literally years in spite of the fact that practically no one will get the reference, even the “RON AND HERMIONE SHPIPERS: YAY!” one.

Ahem.

walk like

I totally started to go all “Oh, Mrs Bugg. This is not Ra or Hathor or Baal or any of the Stargate SG-1-appearing Egyptian god-kings,” but then I remembered my reading-comprehension tag.

Maybe I should think about doing that.

go cardbugg

cardbugg [click to embiggen]

Man, I really feel for Mr Bugg, having to be on the receiving end of Mrs Bugg’s supersonic bicycle kicks. Maybe it’s best that he misses some of them.

Killer goalie mittens, though, Mr Bugg!

I think we need a “reading comprehension” tag

garter [click to embiggen]

On the other hand, their lack of reading comprehension leads to some pretty cute and/or funny drawings, so let’s let it go.

pretty sure “and beans” was not mentioned in the article

beanie weenies [click to embiggen]

Just a guess.

Also, that’s a pretty scary hotdog. What if that went in someone’s eye?

in bugg we trust

coinage [click to embiggen]

So if Mr Bugg is on one side of the coin, and Mrs Bugg is on the other, which side is heads and which is tails? HOW CAN WE POSSIBLY RESOLVE DILEMMAS WITH THIS COIN?

… unless it’s two different coins, I guess?

city of seven hills

seven hills [click to embiggen]

Killer toga and sceptre, Mr Bugg! And the laurel wreath sets it all off.

why someone thought we needed Boss’s Day as well, I will never know

secretary's day [click to embiggen]

No, seriously. Why do bosses need a day? They’re already getting all the money and benefits and now we’re supposed to act like we’re grateful for that? Oh HELL no.

Also, I like to believe that Mrs Bugg would be a good boss, and would not make her secretary cry, but since her experience is based on what she sees me going through … maybe not?

a small bugg shall lead them

wise buggs [click to embiggen]

Sirius: A super-important star in the History of Loki and Suriel. I’m not surprised that that’s what the wise Buggs used to find the Baby Loki.

Also: Mrs Bugg and her staff weapon, let me just tell you what.

diet of worms

diet of worms [click to embiggen]

To reflect on how awful it would be to eat worms all the time, I bet.

Also, Mrs Bugg’s mask is terrifying.

canterbuggy tales

canterbuggy tales [click to embiggen]

My feelings on Chaucer (and by extension, Middle English) were forever blighted by a Brit Lit 201 professor in my Louisiana university who insisted that the only way one could read The Canterbury Tales was as a Christian morality play, which harrowed my agnostic soul.

Instead, let us concentrate on the redemptive adorableness of the curly-toed shoes, the cap with a feather in it, and Mrs Bugg pretending to be shocked by the nether yeayea.

harriet, oh harriet

harriet [click to embiggen]

Oh, Mr Bugg, don’t look so worried. She rocked that flight. And check out her boots! I covet those.

bugg masterson

bugg masterson [click to embiggen]

Poor Bugg Masterson. On the plus side, we do get this killer view of Mrs Bugg’s butt, and those sweet enspurred boots. Feature!

university of buggster

buggster [click to embiggen]

Five bucks says they did this one so they could (a) use their wizarding cosplay, but more importantly, (2) so they could use the üüüümlauts.

… and into muscle-car history

mustabugg [click to embiggen]

I am not a huge fan of American muscle cars*, but can you imagine driving the first Mustabugg? Your expression of delight tinged with smug satisfaction would be identical to Mrs Bugg’s, and your neighbors would be looking exactly like Mr Bugg.

What a glorious time.

*Not anymore, anyway. In my misspent youth? Oh, yes. One day I’ll tell you about it … but that day is not today.

home of the big bugg

mcbuggles [click to embiggen]

Over a billion buggs served!

the prequel

bugner party [click to embiggen]

Remember this pic?

This is apparently how one of the party looked before they set off. And I see she’s taken the precaution of packing an extra-large knife-and-fork set.

This is not suspicious at all.

learn all the words

dictionary [click to embiggen]

Hands up all of you who read the dictionary for fun!

Just me?

OK then.
