You Shoulda Seen Him in The Nutcracker
Some of you may be familiar with the works of Mikhail Baryshnikov, considered by almost everyone to be Russia’s greatest dancer:
And some of you may be familiar with the work of Fred Astaire, whom many people consider America’s (or at the very least, Nebraska’s) greatest dancer:
But I’m betting that you are NOT familiar with Arkansas’ greatest dancer. And just to prove he’s not a one-trick pony like Baryshnikov and Astaire, he’s also currently serving as Arkansas’ Poet Laureate, Chairman Emeritus of the Arkansas General Assembly, and Grand Wizard of the Little Rock Chapter of the Office of Dental Assistance.
Ladies and gentlemen… I give you…
The Right Honourable Bubba Hogg. Hit it, Bubba!
I wish I could have seen the band leader frantically making the “OKAY… LET’S WRAP THIS UP” motion as soon as he started flossing with that flannel.
Many thanks to loyal reader and RFS Midwestern Bureau Chief Brett “Shooter” McGillicuddy*** for bringing this important story to our attention.

One last thing - just in case you ignored the Baryshnikov and Astaire clips, give them a try. I actually tried to pick the shortest ones, and they genuinely are amazing. At the very least, watch a 10 second clip of each before watching Bubba. It’s pretty jarring, isn’t it? Almost like random Phyllis Diller photo insertions in Playboy.
As always, comments, suggestions, and questions can be submitted to aaron@rumblinfumblinstumblin.com (give me a heads up if you send one so I can be sure to check the mailbox).
Peace and Chicken Grease,
