Over the past couple of days, Julia has begun to refer to herself as “Bubba.” Putting aside the fact that we live in Western Kentucky, where there are likely to be fewer Bubbas, this led to the obvious question: how many Bubbas are listed in the Wikipedia, and how many are women? Answer: there are 12 Bubbas listed, but none of them appear to be women. Bubbas I found include Disney character Bubba the Caveduck, NFL Hall of Famer Bubba Smith, Gus “Bubba†Gravel, shot in 1976 along with Priscilla Davis as part of the T. Cullen Davis hitman saga, trotter Bubba Dunn, rapper Bubba Sparxxx, Amiga video game Bubba’n'Stix, former radio host Bubba the Love Sponge, President William Jefferson “Bubba†Clinton, pro wrestler Bubba Ray Dudley, boxer James “Bubba†Busceme, Bruce Campbell/Ossie Davis film Bubba Ho-Tep, and chewing gum Hubba Bubba. IMDB has listings for more than 10,000 Bubbas, including Jimmy Buffett.
