 | Bubba's Corner BBQ  [E] Trying to give a tourist directions to Bubba's  |
| (5.0)| Hi intuey GoT Survivor! , This review was written on behalf of House Targaryen as part of "Game of Thrones" !

This is only the opinion and suggestions of the reviewer and it is still up to the author of this piece to consider this review as a corrective action or otherwise. What I liked: Every darn thing!  This is fantastic, Tracey! I laughed so much while reading it. I note that the prompt said one of your genres has to be "comedy." Well, lady, you nailed it. The whole story of how the hog escaped from the farm and ran straight into Bubba's place on the corner, and the farcical results of that, is so funny. There was an awful moment when you said the hog crashed into the smoker out the back, where I thought the hog had run himself into (like, inside) an oven and got himself cooked. I mean, I know that's probably whee he was headed anyway, but I really wanted him to escape. What really made me chuckle was how the hog ran back home, "fine," after creating mayhem and burning down Bubba's. The image of the hog with "ten people chasing it" is a fabulous visual. I could picture it so well. I love how the person giving directions knows exactly what happened in Bubba's. In detail. That sounds like the way small villages work over here. Gossip gets passed around so that everyone knows everyone else's business. Usually with the odd embellishment added along the way. But, in this instance, I think it is more the case of this event being local legend. I imagine the locals are all pretty happy to have this in their neighbourhood. The directions themselves are great. "When you get to the big blue mailbox, you'll want to cross the street and cut through the park." I love directions like that. I have no sense of direction. I could get lost in a cardboard box, but you know what? It's because I've never been given directions like this. Using landmarks, rather than road numbers and distances, is a much better way of helping someone.Parting comments: This is a great, little story. I love your narrative voice. Your writing is warm and welcoming and really a pleasure to read. And this story is so funny. I loved it! Choconut   My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
