Makes you laugh until you pass gas!
The sequel to the 1st BOTA book is hilarious. New stories by a ton of authors (or maybe 2 tons - I didn't ask their weights). But more rip-roaring fun as the Bubbas meet up with their own Trojan Horse, a cure for the yombie virus and the discovery that not everyone you're related to is exactly what you think they are. Pass the BBQ sauce and pass the gas, cause here come the Bubbas.

A VERY funny book!
Ok, this is yet another author of one of the stories in this anthology.But before you think I'm being biased, several of the stories in the Bubbas books have won awards, including mine.So, either we're very funny or someone shares our outrageously bad tastes.

Seriously, these stories will have you laughing until your sides hurt and tears roll from your eyes.They're nothing but fun.If you don't find this book funny, you truly have lost your sense of humor.

The premise is that the Bubbas of the world have survived the apocalypse.The rest of the "normal" people have died, been turned into zombies that are yuppie zombies (Yumbies), or have been killed and eaten by Yumbies.Like the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the four bubbas of the apocalypse wreak their terror on all, especially the Yumbies.

Does this sound fun?Well it is.Even if I didn't have a story in it, I'd recommend it.

What's not to like?
If you don't like this book you have no sense of humor, whatsoever.This book is completely outrageous and an unashamed good time.

Go with it and have fun!

Ned Helped Write This Review
To be completely upfront about it, I have a story in this collection.Any writer worth his keyboard is going to tell you that his is the best story in the collection.I can't honestly say that -- the quality of the stories is remarkably high.Even more amazing is that there isn't a single total dog in the whole collection, an event rarer than a solar eclipse.
This is not for those who sip their tea with dainty pinky extended, this is for somebody who finds humor in someone putting away a six-pack and belching the first stanza of a country-western song.

I was afraid, with the guidelines, that the stories might seem redundant, and several elements were used more than once -- the lethality of stomach gas and halitosis, for instance -- but the treatments were different enough that I didn't get the feeling "here we go again."

There were so many bizarre and inventive stories that to choose one is difficult, but perhaps the story of the really lonely guy who built himself a woman out of Spam was one of the best, and pretty illustrative of the sort of outrageous humor that makes this book a pleasure to read.Some shyer types may want to take the cover off John Grisham novel to hide the fact that they're not among the brain-washed, but for the rest of us, the cover was part of the fun. ...

Description:
An optical bio-sniffer for methyl mercaptan (MM) one of major odorous chemicals in halitosis (bad breath) was constructed by immobilizing monoamine oxidase type A (MAO-A) onto a tip of a fiber optic oxygen sensor (od: 1.59mm) with an oxygen sensitive ruthenium organic complex (excitation: 470nm, fluorescent: 600nm). A flow cell for circulating buffer solution was applied to rinse and clean the tip of the device like nasal mucosa. In order to amplify the bio-sniffer output, a substrate regeneration cycle caused by coupling MAO-A with l-ascorbic acid (AsA) as reducing reaction with reagent system was applied to the sensor system. After evaluating the sensor characteristics using a gas flow measurement system with a gas generator, the optical bio-sniffer was applied to expired gases from healthy male volunteers for halitosis analysis as a physiological application. The optical bio-sniffer was applied to detect the oxygen consumption induced by MAO-A enzymatic reaction (and AsA chemical reduction) with gaseous MM application. The bio-sniffer was calibrated against MM vapor from 8.7 to 11500ppb with correlation coefficient of 0.977, including a MM threshold (200ppb) of pathologic halitosis and the human sense of smell level 3.5 (10.0ppb), with good gas-selectivity based on the MAO-A substrate specificity. As the result of the physiological application, the optical bio-sniffer could successfully monitor the MM level change in breath samples during daytime, which is consistent with the previously reported results. ...

Description:
The association constants of 33 oral malodorous compounds and odor precursors (9 organic acids, 7 amine-containing bases, 11 organic neutral and aromatic compounds, and 6 amino acids) with native and derivatized cyclodextrins were measured using one or more of a variety of techniques including affinity capillary electrophoresis, nuclear magnetic resonance titrations, and head-space gas chromatography. With the exception of formic acid and urea, which had binding constants that were too small to measure, all analytes showed significant binding to at least one of the cyclodextrins studied. In most cases, the native cyclodextrins exhibited the most stable complexes with these analytes. However, with cationic analytes under acidic conditions, the negatively charged sulfated and carboxymethyl cyclodextrins had higher association constants. The six amino acid precursor molecules only bound significantly with the sulfated cyclodextrins. In addition, several analyte-cyclodextrin combinations were observed to form insoluble complexes, indicating that these cyclodextrins are particularly effective at extracting these compounds from aqueous solution. ...
