Mind you, I’ve never actually paid money to see fat rednecks — called Bubbas and Bubbettes — belly flop into the water, but I’ve seen plenty. And there’s <a href="http://www.myfox8.com/news/wghp-pg-bubbalympics-100719,0,5088674.photogallery">plenty to see</a>.</p> <p>My station seems to cover the Bubbalympics every year. The organizers are smart. They hold it on a Sunday, a day when there is LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE GOING ON. So, desperate for two hours of television, FOX8 sends a man with a camera to shoot the goings on.</p> <p>Is there a Bubbalympics in central Pennsylvania? I sure hope so.</p> <p>Otherwise, where will PA rednecks have the opportunity to “achieve eternal redneck glory?”</p> <p> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" salign="l" flashvars="&titleAvailable=true&playerAvailable=true&searchAvailable=false&shareFlag=N&singleURL=http://wghp.vidcms.trb.com/alfresco/service/edge/content/923e1348-fc4c-4dc7-87f3-646996887a1b&propName=wghp.com&hostURL=http://www.myfox8.com&swfPath=http://wghp.vid.trb.com/player/&omAccount=triblocaltvglobal&omnitureServer=myfox8.com" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" menu="true" name="PaperVideoTest" devicefont="false" wmode="transparent" scale="showall" loop="true" play="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" src="http://wghp.vid.trb.com/player/PaperVideoTest.swf" align="middle" width="300" height="450"></embed></p>http://www.clarkesbar.com/post/833367296http://www.clarkesbar.com/post/833367296Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:52:11 -0400<a href="http://danauclair.com/addressbooksync/">AddressBookSync | Facebook Picture Synchronization with OS X Address Book</a>http://www.clarkesbar.com/post/803884259http://www.clarkesbar.com/post/803884259Mon, 12 Jul 2010 19:18:19 -0400<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5be1uwE3j1qz4s09o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Sprinkler joy</strong></p>http://www.clarkesbar.com/post/791338977http://www.clarkesbar.com/post/791338977Fri, 09 Jul 2010 19:46:41 -0400<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4y5yqg7M71qz4s09o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jerseyfreeze/4750145693/in/photostream/">Toy bath!</a></p>http://www.clarkesbar.com/post/762715302http://www.clarkesbar.com/post/762715302Fri, 02 Jul 2010 16:23:14 -0400<a href="http://daringfireball.net/linked/2010/06/21/frakes-folders">Daring Fireball Linked List: Dan Frakes on iOS 4 Folders</a>http://www.clarkesbar.com/post/724680860http://www.clarkesbar.com/post/724680860Tue, 22 Jun 2010 03:33:10 -0400<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3gh5cXgft1qz4s09o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Pennsylvania-bound</strong></p> <p>Next month, our little family of three will head north to the Harrisburg, Pa., area so Leah can begin her career as a professor at Messiah College.</p> <p>Leaving Greensboro won’t be easy; we’ve got friends, family and a church we love here.
