Nick Notes
In retrospect, this almost sounds like I was making fun of Bubba; I wasn't. I was extrapolating from a discussion we had earlier, probably verbally, but I don't remember the details. This is an example of us brainstorming for revenue-generating ideas, which is something we did a fair amount.

We could call the series "[whatever] for Bubbas" or even better, to avoid any infringement issues from the "for Dummies" series and to give you an individual identity rather than just being a representative sample of "a Bubba", we could call them "Bubba's Guide to [whatever]". They could be a combination of humor and useful information. Bubba's Guide to Shipping and Receiving ("Handy Tip: be sure to put a tight lid on the cat food so when the raccoons tip it over, cat food doesn't spill all over the receiving dock ."), Bubba's Guide to Networking, Bubba's Guide to E-Commerce, Bubba's Guide to the Internet, Bubba's Guide to the Web... We could use you as the spokesmodel, too (on the book covers & promotional stuff) if you could grin widely enough to show your missing dental work...
Thoughtfully,
N.
