Know your Boomhauer Brothers

The Boomhauer Brothers are real people. Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty. Instead of photos, I've created Simpsons avatars.

B.J. Boomhauer

B.J. is the rural southern equivalent of Fred Sanford. If the Boomhauer Brothers had a leader, B.J. would be it. We first met when he drove by my place and saw me hauling stuff out of the old shed - he wanted to know what I had to sell. Since then, we have bartered a lot of stuff back and forth. He trades me plants from his farm,  cash and cheap beer for old junk from my property and my manual labor.

Rufus Boomhauer

Rufus is B.J.'s brother. They are the only actual brothers among the Boomhauer Brothers.

Bobby Boomhauer

Bobby is divorced and retired but still maintains a full schedule of drinking whiskey and watching TV. I pick up a little cash cleaning his house a couple times a month. I also get to drink whiskey and watch General Hospital while I work. The first time I ever drank moonshine from a Mason jar was with Bobby.

Scott "Bark" Boomhauer

Bark is a cousin of B.J. and Rufus.  

Joe Boomhauer

Joe Boomhauer took me to my first cockfight. And my second. A couple hens in my flock came from Joe. He's the father of Boom Jr.

Boom Jr.

Boom Jr. is the son of Joe Boomhauer. He's just getting his start in the regionally popular (if underground) sport of cockfighting.

Jed Boomhauer

Jed is a retired airline worker from Georgia. His birthday is the day after mine.
