I was listening to Bob and Sheri on the radio whilst wending my way through the backroads to avoid construction on Richmond Road and they had on Ruby Ann Boxcar. 'She' was hilarious. 'Her' website is even more so, and it brought back memories of elementary school gym, where they taught us to dance to that tune (is it the Alley Cat?) Be sure to take a tour of the two-story double-wide trailer.
The character is such a caricature of 'white trashness'--rather than just Southern culture--that it's funny rather than offensive, especially since it's obviously meant to be humourous, and, of course, being done by a 'big ol' drag queen'--although I do wonder if there are some out there who would be fooled by Ruby's sheer womanliness. :) It definitely added some pep to my day.
