P.B. Buns

I don't even remember why the subject came up or how it even slipped out at lunch with coworkers today, but there it was... something, something "like P.B. Buns".

It's crazy how (almost) 20 years later, little high school trivialities surface at the most random times - and today was one of the moments when I found myself reminiscing about a stupid nickname that had befallen a classmate of mine because he often chose to eat peanut butter on a dinner roll at lunch.

I'm fairly certain I was the one to coin the name P.B Buns, probably  in a quirky (and maybe just a tiny bit mean) comment to my friends in reference to the poor guy, and it just STUCK.  Never to his face, just within my little clique.  I'm sure P.B. Buns would be baffled as to why we would pick out that one thing to make fun of.  I'm a little unsure myself, other than I found it odd that he always spread the peanut butter ON TOP of the dinner roll, like a little brown mohawk instead of cutting the roll in half or even smearing the PB on the side of the plate to dip into.

I don't remember having any real problem or even that many thoughts about this guy at the time- I think my friends and I were just in love with saying "P.B. Buns".  There's just a certain ring to it that makes me giggle.

I kind of wish I could say it more often.

Ok, now I am just saying "P.B. Buns" out loud to myself over and over and giggling.  My dog, Ruby,  just gave me a look that was basically judgmental.

P.B. Buns.

UPDATE: I have no memory of his real name anymore.
