Burpin' Buddy

Buddy Axelford, Sr. was a trucker who spent his spare time guzzling gallon after gallon of root beer and eating Teriyaki Pork Rinds on the sofa watchin’ football. Before he embarked on that ill-fated trip to pick up a shipment of baked beans from Boston, he passed his god-given talent for burping up a storm onto his young son, Buddy, Jr.

And burp Buddy did, from the moment he got up in the morning until the hour he had laid his head on the pillow each night. He first learned to belch his ABC’s and was soon belching the Gettysburg Address in one long, gaseous breath.
