Default Who Is Bubba?

Bubba appears in North American folklore and from all accounts seems to have played an active role in the destruction or modification of a vast number of ex military vehicles. We have his (un-named) opposite number here to.
People can usually be put into one of three basic categories, these are builders , destroyers and the totally inert.
Bubba, being a very resourceful sort of fellow can encompass both ends of the spectrum simultaneously. To build something he must destroy something. Setting out to make something do a job it was never intended to do is his specialty. Surprisingly, this can often be attempted with a great deal of energy particularly in the initial stages. The destruction phase proceeds rapidly then the construction part looms.
We are left to ponder the results of his efforts where they survive at all. Frequently his ideas vastly exceeded his ability. We gather up the remains and try to resuscitate the original or transplant some of the organs into another project.
Yes, Bubba is part of the eco system and you can't hate him but you can sure develop a dislike for what he's done.
Maybe we could have a thread devoted to extreme examples of his work, neglect or abuse.
