In VN, a buffie was a BIG, UGLY F**KING ELEPHANT that us enlisted guys used to have to go buy for the “fly through” officers who wanted them.
Big assed ceramic elephant with a flat spot on top to put your flower plants.
Cost 5 bux a buffie before the war ended. Cost a hundred and change after.
Now, cost about 5 bux again.
Buffie McFadyen and Pueblo County Democratic Chairman Ron Greenwell were discovered by Sheriff’s deputies sitting in Greenwell’s car. The pair was suspected of being intoxicated but the car was not running ...
McFadyen, who was sitting in the passenger sea, was not given a Breathalyzer but Greenwell was and blew a .14, well above the legally drunk limit of .08.
Both were encouraged to call a ride and Buffie called her husband Troy Manchego. When Manchego arrived one of the deputies asked him for his license. Manchego said he had forgotten it. As per procedure the deputy called dispatch with Manchego’s name and date of birth.
About 90 seconds later the dispatcher reported the license for Manchego was suspended but the couple had already left
