Let me explain.
The term bubbler is a quintessential Milwaukee thing. A bubbler is what the rest of the world (except Rhode Island, parts of Connecticut and the Boston area) would call a drinking fountain. The Yoopers also use it, but we all know they are just Wisconsin wannabees anyway.
When I first moved to California, I would use the term and get blank stares in response. The world was a much smaller place then and I had no clue that bubbler was just a regional colloquialism.
I use it as the title of my blog as a way to connect with those that know what it means and hopefully interest those that don't.

About Me
- MaryRuth
- Born in Milwaukee, I moved to Southern California in 1980, with a five-year hiatus in Maui. I now live in Torrance, California with my SO. I design circuit boards, a job I totally love. If I wasn't doing that, I would love to have a small restaurant. Things that make me happy: cooking, eating, music, and vegetating in my backyard.

i had to wait a half hour for the video to load, but that was really funny! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! My Grandma was a dyed-in-the -wool-Democrat, but I wonder what she'd be saying now. My cousins and I were speculating on that and decided she would go with Obama.
Love, love, love it! I just came from an early Rosh Hashanah dinner with 30 of my relatives and we were all telling our older female relatives about it.
L'shanah Tovah to you Judi. I'm glad you all enjoyed it. The Great Schlepp website is really interesting. I never would have thought to approach vote-getting this way, but it makes sense.
That is just hilarious!
I love Sarah Silverman. I'm glad she made this video & website. :)
MHP....she's the best.
