Bub was born in the small town of Smalltown, USA. Bub is a successful neurologist. In his spare time between working and playing croquet at the country club, he writes educational books for aspiring writers, which usually just end up being the kind of book people buy to place on their coffee table to look smart.
Lloyd is Bub's best friend and cohort. Originally from a small farm in southern New Jersey, Lloyd now resides under a bridge in New York City. He is a frequent drinker and inexplicably talks with a southern accent. When asked to describe himself in five words or less, he simply slurred, "Geetawaayy..." and poured his vodka over this reporter's head.
Two very different people, but together, they make a good team at thinking up dignified, but cutting remarks regarding people's fan fiction, while never actually writing one of their own. Call them hypocritical, call them idiots, or just call them Bub and Lloyd.
