Joe Bob gives Hubbie Award
nominations: Best Fu of 1988
By JOE B03 BRIGGS
Syndicated Columnist
Several members of the Drive
in Academy leaked news of this
year's Hubbie nominees to the
international media. You know
who you are. You know what
we're gonna tell Jack valenti to do.
You know what will happen to
your free screening privileges at
the Bordertown Twin Drive-in in
Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. I'm afraid
that some of you are not taking
the affairs and the image of the
Drive-In Academy seriously
enough. Here are the nominees. I
dont want ANY complaining. If it
happens again next year, I'm
gonna have the new owner of the
Dallas Cowboys give you a public
relations lesson.
Okay, here we go. Anybody
that's planning to vote in the
Hubbies needs to get his or her
ballot in during the next three,
four weeks. Anybody who
watched enough drive-in movies
to cause a) a divorce, b) permanent
brain damage or c) bankruptcy is
eligible.
And the nominees are-.
